I have been planning on asking what methods are used to avoid and deal with stiffness and cramping while flying in such close quarters.

It used to be all I had to do was get up and walk to the back for a short time; now looking forward to doing some cross country soaring with a bit of a hip problem it's a concern.


After 5 or 6 hours I often develop cramps in my legs. I take a couple of these pills and the cramps stop for the next couple of hours. The pills are "Hyland's Leg Cramps". They can be found at Walmart, Walgreens, etc., etc. They are usually in the supplement section.

They do seem to work.

Many of my flight during the summer are 6-7 hours; some even longer. I always eat a banana that morning and drink lots of pedialyte/water mixed 50/50 while flying. Pedialyte has all if not more of the good stuff as Gatorade, and not nearly the sugar.
