如何應對飛行中的困擾

即使乘坐舒適便捷的公務機，也會有一些煩惱影響你原本愉悅的旅途。本期飛行課堂為你出謀劃策，應對飛行中的困擾。

Even on a comfortable business jet， you may still face irritations that might spoil the fun of your journey. This lesson offers advices on how to deal with the common annoyances of air travel.

帶寶寶出門旅行，飛行途中孩子一直哭鬧，應該怎么辦？

帶寶寶搭乘飛機出行難免會有這樣的經歷：寶寶在飛機上容易哭鬧，但卻不像平時一樣容易安撫并安靜下來，甚至能哭鬧到飛機降落。每當這種時候，父母一方面非常心疼寶寶，另一方面大人也會因為孩子持續的哭鬧開始變得煩躁，旅行的好心情也因此被破壞掉。其實飛機上寶寶哭鬧的原因很簡單，在飛機起降時，由于大氣壓力的改變，會引起耳朵內的鼓膜內陷，從而產生耳鳴、耳痛等耳部不適癥狀。大人們一般可以通過嚼口香糖或者吞咽口水來緩解不適，而寶寶還不會主動咀嚼或吞咽口水，所以只能通過大聲哭鬧來表達不適。事實上，寶寶的哭鬧也有利于緩解耳部不適，所以不用過分擔心。

其實只要做些簡單的準備，就可以讓寶寶和你一起順利出行。起飛和降落可以說是嬰兒最難適應的時刻，可以選擇在這個時間為寶寶喂奶，讓他（她）吸奶嘴或用奶瓶喝水，用吸吮來平衡管路的內外空氣壓力。如果沒有奶嘴，也可給寶寶喂水，這樣也能減輕不適。除此之外，為寶寶準備一些可能會喜歡的新奇玩具和彩色畫本，用來轉移他（她）的注意力，忽略在飛行途中的緊張感。尤其是長途飛行，寶寶容易覺得無聊，一定要提前準備好安撫奶嘴、尿布和玩具。兒童隔音耳機也是你在飛行途中照顧寶寶的好幫手，利用隔音耳機可以降低飛機的飛行噪音對孩子的干擾，讓寶寶睡得更安穩。

不同于一般航線飛機，公務機可以為你和你的孩子提供更多的服務。為了降低飛機起飛和降落對孩子的影響，你可以安排公務機盡可能直飛目的地。除此之外，公務機還可以為你的孩子提供專門的嬰兒餐和安全座椅，這些都是一般航線飛機上不能提供的服務。

Tips 1 PELTOR專業抗噪音兒童耳罩

這款專業抗噪音耳罩可以過濾和阻擋特殊音頻的噪音，有效保護寶寶幼嫩的耳膜，辣妹們的孩子們在她們的演唱會上都戴著這個東西，以抵抗現場的激烈聲響。在這款耳機的保護下，寶寶也可以愉快乘坐飛機，和你一起出行。

Tips 2 嬰兒餐與安全椅

目前，只有部分國際長途飛機上有提供嬰兒餐，但這需要在你購票時就說明需要嬰兒餐，不說飛機并不會提供。搭乘公務機不會固定提供嬰兒餐，但可以根據客戶需求特殊定制。盡管飛機上允許大人乘機時將嬰兒抱在懷里，但為安全起見，航空公司還是強烈建議，所有乘坐飛機的兒童無論年齡大小，最好坐在符合孩子身高體重的兒童安全座椅中。航線飛機上額外安置的兒童安全座椅需要另付票款，搭乘公務機則只需要通知空乘人員準備相關設備就好。

飛行過程中遇到氣流顛簸，應該怎么做？

飛機在飛行過程中遇到氣流顛簸就像汽車在行駛途中遇到堵車一樣，是最為常見的情況。事實上，相較于一般航線飛機乘客，搭乘公務機的乘客在飛行過程中擁有更大的空間和自由度，突發的氣流顛簸對他們更有可能會造成傷害。

遇到氣流顛簸時最好的選擇當然是坐在座位上，系好安全帶。這個時候不適合繼續討論會議內容或者緊盯著財務報表，因為氣流顛簸很容易造成眼睛的不適，進而引發頭暈或者嘔吐。閉目養神或者打開遮光板看看遠處的風景都是不錯的選擇，既可以緩解劇烈顛簸給人造成的緊張感，也可以放松一下因工作時刻緊繃的神經。

不在座位上或者正在使用衛生間的乘客，應該抓緊周圍固定的凸起物，而不是選擇繼續移動或者嘗試回到座位。摘掉眼鏡也是有效的保護措施，可以避免鏡片破碎對身體造成二次傷害。

如果已經跌倒摔傷，不要試圖立刻起身，這很可能會給氣流第二次把你拋在空中的機會。正確的做法是：抓住距離自己最近的固定物，大聲告知空乘人員或者你的同行人員，讓他們在氣流相對平穩時再過來攙扶你。同樣的道理，也不要立刻起身去攙扶摔倒的伙伴。

如果你感覺摔得比較嚴重，最好讓空乘人員來檢查你的傷勢，她們都經過相關的培訓，可以為你做簡單的醫療處理。如果缺少相關的藥品，簡單的冰敷可以暫時減輕疼痛感。不要隨便嘗試模仿電影里的硬漢來上一杯烈酒，酒精不但不會減輕你的痛苦，還會加速血液循環導致傷處更加惡化。當傷勢超出飛機上能處理的范圍，應該立刻選擇返航或者停靠在就近的機場，去醫院治療。堅持飛至目的地再進行治療很可能導致病情延誤，進而惡化，導致終身遺憾。畢竟身體才是你成功最重要的資本。

Tips 3 真實案列

2008年4月22日晚9點，重慶乘客汪陵奇乘坐飛機從重慶飛往貴陽出差，飛行途中使用洗手間時，遇到氣流顛簸，不小心撞在了洗手間折疊門的角上，當場眼鏡片破碎刺傷左眼，下飛機后到醫院檢查、治療，最終左眼失明。

不同身體狀況乘坐飛機應特別注意哪些問題

飛機出行舒適便捷，對于普通人來說是最好的出行方式，但并不適用所有人。即使是你擁有的公務機，想帶父母搭乘公務機游玩，或者身體不適時堅持飛行辦公，可能也要你的空服人員和私人醫生點頭才可以。

如果你的親人或你本人有心臟病、高血壓病這類病史，要注意帶病飛行可能會威脅到你的生命。因為大氣壓的變化會讓病情更加嚴重，尤其是血壓升高、心輸出量減少、呼吸困難等癥狀的出現，更易引起嚴重后果，甚至危及生命。患有心血管系統疾病的人，在空中旅行容易引起充血性心力衰竭、心肌缺血、肺動脈高壓和并發高血壓病。此外，腦血管病人，如腦栓塞、腦出血、腦腫瘤這類病人，由于飛機起降的轟鳴、震動及缺氧等，也可使病情加重。糖尿病患者也同樣需要謹慎對待空中出行，在高空氣壓降低、缺氧時，糖異生作用增強，血糖升高，在以上多因素的作用下，血糖較正常時高出近5倍，容易出現高滲性昏迷，嚴重的危及生命。

假如你有上述病史，不論程度如何，在乘坐飛機之前都要更加注意自己的身體狀況。最簡單的措施，就是在出行之前針對自身疾病準備好相關藥品，這樣能有效應對突發的危險。對于心臟病、高血壓患者，在身體一般狀況較好時，都是可以乘坐飛機旅行的。特別是大中型公務機，或民航客機商務艙、頭等艙，因為寬敞的空間、舒適的座椅、平穩的飛行，這些更有益于個人健康。相對而言，有上述病史者要盡量避免乘坐較為狹窄的小型飛機。

在上述疾病中，糖尿病人在長途飛行中的發病率最高。所以在選擇航空旅行前，糖尿病患者一定要對自己的健康有一個較好的評估。如果血糖沒有得到很好的控制，最好暫時取消飛行。

心臟病、高血壓病

大氣壓變化的會讓病情更加明顯，尤其是血壓升高、心輸出量減少、呼吸困難等癥狀的出現，更易引起嚴重后果，甚至危及生命。

心血管系統疾病

容易引起充血性心力衰竭、心肌缺血、肺動脈高壓和并發高血壓病。

腦血管病人

飛機起降的轟鳴、震動及缺氧等，也可使病情加重

糖尿病

高空氣壓降低、缺氧時，糖異生作用增強，血糖升高

Tips 4

航空公司為特殊旅客準備的特殊餐食有22種，除正常餐食外，在飛機上素食者可以享用素餐，嬰兒有嬰兒餐，兒童有兒童餐，心血管疾病患者可選無鹽餐，糖尿病患者有無糖餐、無糖酸奶等等。乘客可在購票時申請特殊餐食，售票點會將乘客姓名和所需餐食通知航空公司。

如何對抗飛機上的干燥？

不管搭乘飛機去度假還是洽公，每個人都想神采奕奕地走下飛機。但在抵達目的地前，得經歷比沙漠還干燥的機艙環境。如果經過數小時的飛行，又沒有及時保養，就會導致膚色暗沉、毛孔粗大等現象。此外，干燥的環境還會讓敏感的人鼻子難受，像感冒一樣打噴嚏，甚至流鼻血。怎樣才能避免此類狀況產生呢？

對皮膚的保護應該始于登機之前，最好在家里清洗一次，干干凈凈上飛機。如果飛行時數在5個小時以內，只要上機前做好清潔、保養等日常功課，再用保濕噴霧進行滋潤就夠了。女士盡量不要化妝。因為過厚的彩妝會影響肌膚的自然呼吸，再加上機艙的干燥，很容易造成油脂分泌過度，讓肌膚出現缺水、過油現象。如果一定要上妝的話，最好在上粉底前，涂一層保濕乳液。

不過上飛機前，皮膚也不應清潔得太徹底，若把皮膚上的皮脂膜以及油脂全部清洗掉，則肌膚會變得更干，更不利于機艙內的環境。有些人誤以為在飛機上擦精華液的效果特別好，因為一下就干了，感覺很快就被皮膚吸收。殊不知保養品會被空氣吸走，連皮膚的水分也被一并帶走了。當外部環境的濕度比皮膚低時，使用外觀呈黏稠狀的液體式保濕產品，水分反而會向外跑。所以在飛機上，千萬不要只使用精華液，一定要在水分被吸走前擦上乳液或者面霜，否則適得其反。

面膜是乘客最常使用的保濕方式之一。特別是乘坐公務機，下飛機后就要參加會談的人，面膜有助于恢復皮膚形態，提升精神面貌。同使用精華液一樣的道理，專業人士不建議在飛機上使用水狀或者啫喱狀的保濕面膜，以防萬一睡著忘記取下，導致水分流失。使用帶點油脂或者免沖洗的晚安面膜是更好的選擇。

Tips 5

來自美國的一項研究顯示，對于人體來說，最適宜的相對濕度是60%～70%；在沙漠里，相對濕度為30%；而飛機上的相對濕度僅為15%～20%。

How to prevent baby from crying on the airplane？

You may have had your moments when you bring your baby on a flight. The baby will more than likely cry， sometimes not stop until landing， and will be more difficult to pacify. You could be worried about your baby while agitated that it will spoil the journey， but babies cry for a reason. Their ears can often be uncomfortable after take-off and before landing due to the changes in cabin air pressure which may cause drumming or aching ears. As babies could not relieve the discomfort by chewing gum or swallow saliva like adults， crying is their only means to express， or to some extent， ease their discomfort.

Some simple plans before the flight can ensure a less stressful journey. The most effective pacifier for almost all babies is being fed with milk or water， or given a pacifier to suck on， in particular during take-off and landing. If you forget to bring a pacifier， feeding water will have the same effect. You could also prepare some fancy toys or colored illustrated books as a distraction. Make sure to bring pacifiers， nappies， and toys if you are set for a long haul flight， as babies could easily get bored. Noise redaction headphones for kids could be very helpful to ensure your baby having a sound sleep.

Business jets offer more services for kids than scheduled flights. You could， for example， arrange for non-stop flights to reduce the times of take-off and landing. You could also order baby meals and safety seats that are not provided on scheduled flights.

Tips 1 Peltor Noise Canceling Earmuffs

The Peltor earmuffs could effectively filter out noise of certain frequencies and protect the eardrum of babies. The Spice Girls used to have their kids wear Peltor Earmuffs during their concerts. With the protection of the earmuffs， your baby could enjoy a happy travel with you.

Tips 2 Baby Meal and Safety Seat

Baby meals are available only on certain international flights and have to be booked at the time of ticketing. Business jet operators do not offer baby meals on a regular basis， but could provide customized meals. For safety considerations， airlines strongly recommend parents to put kids of all ages in a safety seat rather than cuddling in their arms， although you have to pay extra for a space to put your safety seat. With a business jet， all you need to do is simply ask the crew to install everything before take-off.

How to deal with turbulence？

Turbulence is as commonplace to flight as traffic jam is to ground transportation. Business jet offers more space and freedom than scheduled flights， which at the same time resaltsin a higher possibility of getting injured during turbulence.

A preferred option during turbulence is of course to remain at seat and buckle up. It is not advised to read meeting briefings or financial reports though， as turbulence will cause discomfort of your eyes， dizziness or nausea. You may close your eyes for a break or watch the views to ease the stress.

If you are not in a seat or are using the lavatory during turbulence， grab the nearest fixed object instead of returning to your seat. If you wear glasses， take them off to avoid secondary injury.

If you fall， don’t attempt to get up， because you might fall again. The right approach is to grab the fixed object closest to you and call your companion or crew to help you up when turbulence is over. Similarly， if others fell， wait until the turbulence is over before you rush to help.

If you are seriously wounded， ask the crew to check as they are trained for simple medical treatments. If no medication is available， an ice bag could ease pain for a while. Don’t imitate the tough guys in movies who kill pain with liquor， because liquor will only accelerate your blood circulation to make the wound worse and more painful. If first aid is not adequate， turn back or stop at the nearest airport for hospitalized care. Insisting on the original flight plan may lead to deterioration of the injury leading to lifelong regrets. After all， health is the most important asset for your success.

Tips 3

Real Case： At 9pm， 22rd April 2008， on his business trip to Guiyang， Chongqing passenger Wang Lingqi knocked on the lavatory door during turbulence and his left eye was cut by his broken glasses. When he got to hospital after arrival， it is already too late， and he is left with a blind left eye.

Tips 4

Airlines offer 22 special meals apart from normal meals， which include vegetable meal， baby meal， children meal， salt free meal for cardiac patients， and sugar free meal or yogurt for diabetic patients. Apply at time of ticketing and your name and meal request will be entered into system for in-flight serving.

How to decide if you are fit to fly？

Despite the convenience and comfort of flying， not everyone is fit to travel by air. If you own a business jet and you want to travel with your parents or continue to fly when you are unwell， you will need the crew or your private doctor to give the nod before taking-off.

Beware if you or your family has a record of heart disease or high blood pressure， because the changes of air pressure may worsen the disease showing symptoms of higher blood pressure， lower cardiac output， and difficulty to breath， which sometimes may endanger your life. Air travel may also increase the possibility of recurrent congestive heart failure， myocardial ischemia， pulmonary hypertension， or complicating high blood pressure. Cerebrovascular disease such as cerebral embolism， cerebral hemorrhage， and brain tumor may be complicated by the noise， vibration， and low oxygen level of the cabin environment. Diabetic patients should think twice before flying， as low air pressure and oxygen level will stimulate gluconenogenesis， leading to extremely high blood， often 4 times higher than normal level， coma or even death.

If you have or had the above diseases， be it light or heavy， monitor your health conditions closely before taking a flight. A simple method is to prepare medicine for in case of emergent need. Patients with cardiac disease or high blood pressure can travel by air if their health conditions are well. Large or medium business jets， or business or first class of commercial airlines that offers more space， comfortable seat， and stable flight are recommended for people with the above mentioned diseases.

Of the above， diabetic patients are more vulnerable to disease recurrence. It is highly recommended for diabetic travelers to assess personal wellness. Cancel the flight plan if blood glucose level could not be reduced.

How to protect your skin in the dry cabin？

For business or for leisure， you would always want to get off the airplane refreshed and energetic. But if you have stayed in a cabin drier than in a desert for hours without taking care of your skin， you will end up with a dull skin with enlarged pores. Your nose will also feel uncomfortable – either cough or bleed. How can you prevent this？

Skin protection should start before you get on board， preferably a good wash before you leave home. If you flight is less than 5 hours， some moisturizing spray would be enough. Ladies are advised to wear light make-up， or not at all， because make up will prevent skin from breathing which in turn will secret too much oil in the dry cabin. If make-up is necessary， wear a layer of moisturizer before putting on foundation.

But don’t over-clean either. If you washed all the oil away， you skin will be too dry for the cabin environment. Essence is believed by many as very effective in the cabin as it is absorbed quickly. But in fact， it is absorbed not by your skin but by the dry air while taking away the already few water in your skin. When the relative humidity is lower than your skin， liquid moisturizers will only lead to water loss. So do not use essence， if you do， follow with lotion or cream to lock the water in.

Facial mask is an effective way to moisturize your skin on board， in particular before a business meeting， as it can uplift your face condition and energy level. It is not recommended to use gel or moisturizing masks in case you doze off and the mask takes away all the water. Night masks with oil elements or wash free masks are the best options.
