Sabine M., 38, a marketing consultant and frequent flyer, shares her story:
"When you fly as much as I do, it really adds up. My job doesn’t exactly pay for first-class tickets. I used to sit crammed into economy class for hours and had to slowly untangle myself before I could finally stand up. It was dreadful."
Jürgen T., 52, an engineer, describes his experience:
"Long flights and cramped spaces are a recipe for stiff muscles and swollen feet. Once or twice it’s not so bad, but if you’re a frequent flyer, you’re bound to develop a muscle problem."
Claudia R., 44, a sales director, recalls a particularly bad flight:
"The biggest problem was when I finally landed and discovered my ankles had swollen to twice their normal size. It even hurt to walk to the baggage reclaim."
