Flight Attendant Shares Hack For Dealing With Turbulence

If you consider yourself to be a nervous flyer than you will want to see what this, a flight attendant shares hack for dealing with turbulence. Most of us are not fans of it, some of us can deal with a certain amount of it and there are others that can not deal with any. My wife and one of my daughters have a very bad motion sickness problem. Any little jolt or wiggle will send them off into a very uncomfortable state of mind.

Thankfully for flyers that do suffer from motion sickness there are over the counter remedies such as Bonine or Dramamine. They work fine unless it is a more than usual turbulent flight. I feel sorry for them when this happens because there is a certain sense of helplessness for them. They grab for anything that they can use a fan to help cool off the cold sweats that come with it. Thank goodness that planes come with AC controls over head that folks can turn up as high a possible too cool off.

One thing most flyers do during a particularly turbulent flight is to see how the flight attendants are dealing with it. It's always amazing and reassuring to watch the calm and cool professionals in these stressful times. They usually go about their business as though theirs nothing to worry about. When the captain tells the flight attendants to take their seats, that's when we know it's about to get serious. That being said, they still exude calm and confidence.

That's why we are interested in how they have come to deal with a turbulent flight, so if it freaks you out, check out this flight attendant's little trick or hack on how to deal with it next time you take a flight.

She says instead of white-knuckling it, pretend you're jelly or "submerged in jelly," and start wiggling around in your seat. It's not clear if there's any science behind it, but she claims it'll calm you down and make the turbulence seem not-so-bad.

Of all the things people who fly find annoying, we now have the 7 most annoying things people do on a plane. They are worthy of your consideration because if you have ever flown, you will probably agree that these are the worst

Most of us remember the commercials for United back in the day. They called themselves the airline that flies the friendly skies. These days, nobody calls themselves that anymore let alone old United. Back in the day flying was an event that most of us didn’t do very often. Unless of course you were a business person who needed to on a regular basis.

It was very common for people to wear their best clothes for their flights. If you look at old pictures from magazines of days, gone by, you will see that most of the passengers were dressed to the nines. Men wore a suit and tie, and the ladies would wear dresses and sometimes hats to match. Those days are long gone!

Now, when you get on board a plane, it is very rare to see somebody dressed nicely. It is much more common to see people dressed down as if they were heading to the gym. Or it’s also very common these days for people to actually wear pajamas on the flight. The glory days of flying are far behind us. Now flying is about as glamorous as riding a Greyhound Bus in the sky

If you thought reclining your seat on a plane was the rudest thing you could do, you're wrong. It's only the FIFTH worst. The site Skyscanner did a big poll on airplane etiquette, and asked 2,000 Americans if they find various activities annoying. According to the results, maybe wait until you're at your hotel to cut those disgusting TOENAILS.

31% would be annoyed, no matter the reason. But especially if their seat is better than yours. This happens a lot and it can be very annoying. If you wanted to fly together, book it together!

Just under a third said you shouldn't be hogging both, even if you're in the middle seat. It’s the battle of the arm rests and it is never enjoyable for anyone to feel squeezed out.

Around a third think it's inconsiderate and unacceptable. This can be a very rude thing to do. Nobody wants to sit behind the person that reclines all the way back as soon as we reach 10,000 feet. Especially if it’s a long flight.

35% will judge you for it.  That's even if your feet somehow smell great. I’m surprised this number is only 35%. Let’s all agree to leave our shoes on if it’s a problem get more comfortable shoes.

Close to 40% hate it when the person next to them won't shut up. This is a problem especially if you were in a long flight. Remember good ear phones make good neighbors.

 This is annoying anywhere, let alone 35,000 feet in the air when there is no escaping. This usually happens after landing when somebody is either looking for a ride or letting a family member know that they have landed. All things we can do through a quiet text.

Like cutting your nails, painting your nails, or trimming your beard in your seat. How is this even a concept what would possess somebody to trim or paint their nails on a flight? If your nails are in need of attention, perhaps you can take care of that at your destination. Please.
