Default question about flying

This has nothing to do with WW, although I am a life time member who had
slipped but just recently lost 10 pounds and have 5 more to go to be back at
goal.
I am supposed to fly out this next Saturday and am very nervous. I have
some sinus issues and headaches and just finished a round on antibiotics and
doc says it looks good but I still have the pressure and neck aches, I
suffer from bad allergies, anyway does anyone have any tips for flying with
bad allergies and sinus stuff? I don't want to cancel I am going for 2
weeks in Palm Springs and don't want to miss it.
Thanks
Becky

How long is your flight? The summer Town & Country has an article about
surviving long flights. Some of the suggestions are to prepare
mentally, hydrate your body inside and out, skip drugs and alcohol, eat
as little as possible, and just try to sleep. Hopefully within the next
week you will feel better.

Thanks for the information, my flight is only 3 hours long but have not had
good flights int eh last couple years with sinus stuff, I was told to take a
decongestant before flying so I am not sure if I will try that or not.
Thanks

If your issues are with pressure especially in your ears,...pick up a pair
of Earplanes...They regulate the air pressure...Good for one round trip
flight...Very inexpensive and they work great...GG

Call your doctor and ask for an opinion.

Gary,
Thanks, my husband friend who is a steward told him the same thing he said
today at work. I will try them. My family doctor said not worry, big help!
