 When taking a long haul flight, many people do exactly the sort of things that they should not do to keep fit and healthy. They see the flight as the first stage of the holiday and start to behave in holiday mode, even though this can be detrimental to your health.
Long haul flights, such as flights Australia are usually classified as any flight over seven or eight hours so by definition you are cooped up in a metal canister for quite a long time.
Many people see the start of their holiday as having a beer or glass of wine at the airport, even though this is precisely what most experts advise against doing. They then continue drinking on board and although drunkenness on board is not tolerated, the mix of holiday mood and free alcohol is irresistible to many.
Drinking alcohol is exactly what most experts advise against doing as it dehydrates the body in an atmosphere which also serves further to dehydrate the body.
Many people also do not sleep enough on the plane as they are excited by the journey and they prefer to stay up watching the many films on offer or playing video games. As a result they catch an hour or so sleep before they are woken up for breakfast and arrive feeling exhausted and jet lagged.
