Flying Smart

The best way to have a good flight is to plan ahead and also choose the seat you like. If you like to sleep, a window seat will keep people from bothering you. If you think you will want to get up to stretch or visit the restroom, an aisle seat is more convenient. For long trips getting a little movement is a good idea. Stretching and standing will keep away pains caused by sitting for too long.

想拥有好的搭机经验，最好的方式就是事先规划并选择你喜欢的座位。如果你想要睡眠，靠窗的座位能避免别人打扰你。如果你认为你会想要站起来伸展身体或去洗手间，靠走道的座位比较方便。在长途飞行中，做点运动是个好主意。伸展和站立将避免久坐造成的疼痛。

The inside of the airplane is often dry. Therefore, you should drink enough water, but not so much that you have to visit the toilet very often. If you do want to sleep, use blankets and pillows to keep you warm and relaxed. Nobody wants to wake up feeling cold and have a stiff neck. Finally, remember that the flight attendants are there to make your flight experience enjoyable. If you are feeling uncomfortable in any way, ask them for assistance.

飞机内部通常很干燥。因此，你应该喝足够的水，但不能多到你要经常上厕所。如果你想睡觉，用毯子和枕头来让你保持温暖放松。没有人希望醒来时感到寒冷又脖子僵硬。最后，记住空服员在你身边帮你拥有美好的搭机经验。如果你在任何方面感到不舒服，开口请他们协助。
