"Emergency" set for aircraft rescue during flight delays

Of course, the aircraft can take off and take time, but we know how often there are any delays. There is nothing you can do about it, but you can take a set that will help you not to get bored in the waiting time, not hungry and generally feel great.

Of course, to get stuck for a few hours on the plane - this is not the worst thing that can befall you, but nevertheless, it is not the most pleasant. We look at a few common problems that may befall, and things that will help you feel comfortable in any way.

Your flight is delayed for a few hours

If your flight is delayed, you can be in two places: in the terminal and on the plane. As long as you have not boarded the plane, you have access to food and water, you can wander around to give us something to do. In addition, many airports have a power outlet and the USB-chargers, so you can not worry about their gadgets and occupy yourself with something.

Delays in the terminals do not require any special tools for survival, but you'd better ask the representative of the airline receipt, if the flight is delayed for a long time. Airlines are not required to provide them, but sometimes it can make on request.

If the flight is delayed for more than two hours, the airline must offer you free food and soft drinks in volume, appropriate waiting time, as well as the opportunity to make two phone calls, send two fax messages or two e letters.

When a flight is delayed by five hours or more, you have the right to refuse from the flight, and require to pay the money, and if you still decided to wait for the next flight, the air carrier is obliged to offer you free accommodation and transportation to and from the hotel.

Suppose you do it right and get their compensation, but it will be later, but first it is necessary to go through tedious wait, especially painful if you are on the plane forest.

What to do

So, to make your stay on board as comfortable as possible, first of all need to be concerned about entertainment. You can imagine the entertainment system on a time delay, but do not count on it too.

Here's what you should take with you for delays:

• the book you want to read or e-reader with a bunch of downloaded books;
• tablet for reading, playing games or watching movies;
• portable gaming device, if you prefer a specific game;
• for easier reading a magazine when you can not concentrate on the book;
• anything else to spend hours with the use of the delay.

In fact, do not have to think long to realize that it is necessary to choose. just imagine that you are locked in a room with people you might want to be talking, and maybe not. Then you definitely take with you what you need for an interesting pastime.

Now with entertainment easier than a few years ago - a laptop or tablet is guaranteed to take your attention (especially if you take care of it in advance), but what if the battery charge is exhausted?

Place without sockets

Most airlines are not equipped with sockets for each seat, and even each line. Some companies in the advertising claim that they have a socket at each place, but really good if they have one to three seats.

Not to guess and not to rely on luck, you can immediately take a back-up power. For example, you can buy a portable battery for smartphones and tablets Apple, or universal battery for charging laptop, netbook, and smartphone cameras. If you do not need a lot of energy, you can save and buy thinner and lighter power supply for feature phones, smart phones, mp3 players and Bluetooth headsets.

Battery for laptop takes more space in your bag, but she and resources more than, for example, will last for 8 hours a netbook). In Windows and Linux laptops often have a removable battery, so you can buy another one and change as needed.

Mac lovers to charge their gadgets can use HyperJuice external battery series. Whatever you may have bought the battery, be sure to check it before you pack and fully charged. Also, put the battery in the far end of the bag and pack well, not to damage it. The last thing you need on a plane - it's leaking batteries.

Ran out of food and beverages

The plane is always a limited amount of food and beverages. Not all passengers to buy food, so they do not take much. As a rule, beverages are longer than the food, but they may end if the plane is delayed somewhere. Therefore, we should not rely on the airline and should bring along:

1. Empty water bottle. You can not carry a bottle of water through the terminal, so bring an empty bottle, and later fill it with water from the fountain.
2. Snacks, e.g., nuts, dried fruit mixture or something similar. If you want diversity, you can pack them in different containers.

You can take all whatever you want to eat, can even make a sandwich, most importantly to make sure that all is well packed in a container, and it is tightly closed, so as not to make a mess in the bag.

Numb back or neck

The seats in the airplane is really inconvenient, no one has ever put Fixed-wing armchair at home, because the discomfort surpasses them. You can not do anything to change that rule, but a number of special pillows to help brighten up the flight.

Neck pillow

You can buy these in advance, at any online store. At best there is a filler with a memory effect, whereby pillow remembers the contours of the body. If you do not take care of the pillow in advance, you can buy it at the airport or even do it yourself.

For example, if the stick in hoodie Case for nouta and use as a pillow. It is certainly better than no pillow. Moreover, such a cushion, in contrast to the purchase, did not take place in your luggage.

Pillow under your back

These pillows can also improve the situation with uncomfortable seat in the plane. To do this, just need something to put under the back cover and nouta a sweatshirt too is fine.

You can also ask the flight attendant if they have any small pads on the board, or, as an alternative to the pillow pack before the flight number of tennis balls, and put them at the back. They not only help you get more comfortable, but will provide a massage for the back muscles.

But the last piece of advice should not be used for long flights, because it's still a load on his back, and too much stress will have the opposite effect.

a little pill

If you are very uncomfortable, not to fret, you can take some pills, for example, analgesic or sedative. Just read the instructions - pobochka as nausea is unlikely you'll like.

Thus, a sample list of things to take with you on the plane ready. If you have something to entertain themselves what to eat and drink, and how to get comfortable, the delay will not seem so hell.
