1 Check the weather

Before you board your flight, check the weather forecast for your departure and arrival locations, as well as any areas you might fly over. This can help you anticipate the likelihood and severity of turbulence, and plan accordingly. Some weather conditions that can cause turbulence include thunderstorms, jet streams, mountain waves, and clear-air turbulence. If you know that your flight might encounter rough weather, be prepared to follow the instructions of the crew and stay calm.

2 Buckle up

The most effective way to prevent turbulence-related injuries is to wear your seat belt whenever you are seated, even when the seat belt sign is off. This will keep you from being thrown around or hitting hard surfaces in case of unexpected turbulence. It will also prevent you from injuring other passengers or crew members if you lose your balance. Make sure your seat belt is snug and low across your lap, and check on any children or elderly passengers who might need assistance.

3 Secure your belongings

Another common source of turbulence-related injuries is loose or flying objects that can hit you or others. Before takeoff and landing, and whenever the seat belt sign is on, make sure you stow your carry-on items in the overhead bins or under the seat in front of you. Avoid placing anything on your lap, on the floor, or on the seat next to you. If you need to access your belongings during the flight, do it quickly and carefully, and return them to their place as soon as possible.

4 Choose your seat wisely

Some seats on the plane may experience more or less turbulence than others, depending on the location and design of the aircraft. Generally, seats near the wings or over the wing are more stable, as they are closer to the center of gravity and the lift force. Seats near the front or back of the plane are more prone to turbulence, as they are farther from the center of gravity and more affected by the pitch and yaw movements. If you are prone to motion sickness or anxiety, you may want to choose a seat near the wings or over the wing for a smoother ride.

5 Avoid alcohol and caffeine

Drinking alcohol or caffeine before or during your flight can make you more sensitive to turbulence, as they can dehydrate you, affect your blood pressure, and alter your perception. They can also worsen the symptoms of motion sickness or anxiety, such as nausea, dizziness, or nervousness. Instead, drink plenty of water and other non-alcoholic beverages, and eat light and healthy meals or snacks. This will help you stay hydrated, alert, and comfortable during your flight.

6 Relax and distract yourself

Finally, one of the best ways to reduce the risk of turbulence-related injuries is to relax and distract yourself from the situation. Turbulence can be stressful and scary, but it is not dangerous or a sign of a problem with the plane. The pilots and the crew are trained and experienced in handling turbulence, and they will do everything they can to ensure your safety and comfort. Try to breathe deeply, listen to music, watch a movie, read a book, or chat with your travel companion. This will help you cope with the turbulence and enjoy your flight.

En cas de turbulences, il faut se détendre Il faut penser que c'est un peu notre faute si la planète s'emballe et être content si on arrive à bon port.

Vá ao banheiro antes de embarcar, desta forma reduz a necessidade de transitar pelo corredor da aeronave para fazer uso do banheiro. Mas se mesmo assim precisar, fa?a sempre segurando o corre m?os
