Prepaid Credit Cards Necessary as Airlines Reject Cash
When traveling with children or nervous adults on an air plane, it is a good idea to keep them occupied. It will go a long way toward making your trip more comfortable and theirs too. Trivia is a good time waster, and plane related trivia may even make the antsy passenger more comfortable if they know a little more about what is going on as they move from city to city.
How Does a Plane Stay In the Air? To greatly simplify the concept of flight, the curved wing on an air plane causes there to be less pressure on the top of it and more pressure, or thicker air, underneath the wing. That thicker air holds the plane aloft.
Did Your Ears Pop Too? The human ear has a tiny pocket of air inside it that helps people keep their balance. When the pressure of the air pushes on that little air pocket it changes the shape of the ear drum and that is why sounds seem different while the pressure is greater. By yawning wide or swallowing, pressure from inside the body helps to equalize the little pocket of air with the air pressing in from outside the body.
Why Does a Plane Ride Make a Person Feel Sleepy? The great amount of pressure felt on the human body combined with lower oxygen levels for the body to use causes the feeling of tiredness. Since the body has to work just as much as it would if it were standing on the ground, only with much less oxygen, it can feel like you walked several miles depending on how long the flight is.
Why Can’t I Hear the Movie They Are Playing? The simple reason for this is because earphones must be rented from the flight attendants. Just give them the prepaid credit cards and the sound will be available along with the movie.
