Particularly for older people and those with mobility or health issues, navigating multi-city and round-the-world (RTW) travel can be tricky. But it doesn\u2019t have to be.<\/p>\n<p>Here are four travel tips for staying comfortable \u2013 and healthy! \u2013 during multi-stop and long-haul flights, no matter what your age:<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-1-take-the-complications-out-of-connecting-flights\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.\u00a0<strong>Take the Complications Out of Connecting Flights<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you have connecting flights, the airports you choose to make connections in can make a big difference. The world\u2019s biggest airports \u2013 like John F. Kennedy International in New York or Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport are massive. That can mean dragging your carry-on across multiple terminals to make your next flight. Also, you need to be prepared to wait in long lines at security check-ins and passport control because the TSA tend to be stricter, and it may take longer.\u00a0Plus, locations like Chicago O\u2019Hare and Boston, where inclement weather are more prone to cause cancellations and delays, can affect when your plane arrives and if you\u2019ll have enough time to make or even miss your connection. As much as you may be eager to minimize your wait time between flights, building in time to make your connection with a minimum of potential stress (particularly if you have mobility issues) is a smart decision. Four hours or so between flights should suffice.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.\u00a0<strong>Stop Stressing &amp; Add A Stopover<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Travel may be exciting, but the same can\u2019t be said for jet lag. The human body simply wasn\u2019t designed to fly across multiple time zones in a short period. For children and travelers over 60, adjusting to a new time zone can be even more difficult. But there\u2019s a simple \u2013 and fun! \u2013 solution to this problem. Add a stopover \u2013 especially if there is a big time zone difference to your ultimate destination. A day or two stopover can help your body deal with jetlag more effectively. Even better, you get to enjoy an additional location during your travels! If you have two long connecting flights back-to-back (for example, you\u2019re visiting the Near East with a layover in Paris), book a stopover in the connecting city for at least a night. You\u2019ll be so much more comfortable, and your travel photos will be that much more exciting!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.\u00a0<strong>Move Around<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>No matter how comfortable any chair at the airport lounge or on the plane is, traveling is hard on the body. Be sure to get up, walk around, and stretch. To keep yourself from getting stiff or sore, before, during, and after your flights is important. Moving around and stretching throughout your flight and at airports between flights will also help you prevent any problems with deep vein thrombosis.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.\u00a0<strong>Make an Investment in Safety and Security<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Of all these travel tips, here\u2019s a smart idea for travelers of all ages.\u00a0Whether you\u2019re home or away,\u00a0<strong>Medical Air Services Association (MASA) covers emergency medical transportation.
