Did you know air travel does this to your body?

Air travel is generally a safe way to travel, and you may not know it but it is a lot safer to take a plane trip somewhere than it is to drive your car. However, you can still experience some unpleasant side effects when you’re 35 000 feet in the air.

- The low oxygen will probably give you a headache and make you feel sleepy
- Blood collecting in your feet and ankles can cause swelling
- You can get seriously dehydrated
- Shifts in the pressure in the cabin can make you gassy
- The air pressure changes cause your ears to pop
- Your sense of taste may be affected, making food taste dull
- Air shifts can cause toothache
- Air in the plane can cause your skin to lose moisture leading to dry skin and lips
- When your mouth dries out in the air, bacteria will grow which can cause bad breath
- Long distance flights throw off your circadian rhythm = JET LAG!
- You may not actually get sick at all

Here are 3 airport scams you need to be aware of!

> Taxi Scam

There is always a taxi or airport transfer scam waiting for you at the Airport! Some airport shuttles that wait at the airport for passengers are in fact unlicensed and some will fool you into paying an insane, inflated price that will burn a hole in your pocket. These airport transfer scammers will do anything to take you for granted, even taking you on a longer route to your destination.

> Overweight Luggage

This scam does not apply to all airports; however it is known to happen at a few of the less popular ones. Employees working at the airport, like the counter attendants who weigh your luggage, will fail to reset the scale before you put your luggage on and you’ll end up being over-charged for overweight luggage.

> Free Wi-Fi

Cyber criminals are always looking for easy ways to scam unknowing victims, and this is especially easy at the airport where internet users are always looking for a free Wi-Fi connection. Often hackers will set up a FREE Wi-Fi hotspot and once you connect to it, your private data and information will be stolen! Always be sure to switch off any automatic connections and do not connect to any hotspots that aren’t 100% safe and secure.
