Look at the description of British Airways’ Well-being in the air programme. What advice does the programme give passengers about food, drink, and exercise?

A

t British Airways, we know a lot about the problems of frequent flying and jet-lag. That’s why we asked our medical experts to create the Well-being in file air programme. This programme gives you advice on what to eat and drink in the air, and suggests exercise and relaxation techniques, to help you feel well during and after your flight.

On a long flight, you can feel tired, stiff, and uncomfortable. We invite you to try some of the exercises in the Well-being programme. The Well-being in the air brochure suggests exercises which help to reduce tiredness and stiffness during and after your flight.

We suggest that you don't drink any alcohol, tea, or coffee during your flight, because they increase the bad effects of flying on the body. It's better to drink a lot of mineral water or fruit juice. We also recommend the dishes on our Well-being menu. They are light and easy to digest, and do not have any rich or fatty foods.

Roleplay the dialogue.

M=Martyn, A=Ann

M: Hi, Ann. Welcome back! How was your trip to the States?

A: Very busy. I had a lot of meetings and, of course, I didn’t have much time to see New York.

M: What a pity! Actually, I have a trip there myself next week.

A: Do you? Then take my advice. Do the 'Well-being in the air programme. It really works.

M: Oh, I read about that in a magazine. You say it works?

A: Yes. I did the programme on the flight to the States, and when I arrived in New York I didn’t have any problems, no jet-lag at all. On the way back I didn’t do it and I felt terrible.

M: You’re joking!

A: Not at all. It really made a lot of difference.

M: Hmm... So what did you do?

A: Well, I didn’t drink any alcohol or coffee, and I didn’t eat any meat or rich food. I drank a lot of water and fruit juice, and I ate the meals on the Well-being menu. They’re lighter - they have fish, vegetables, and pasta, for example. And I did some of the exercises in the programme.

M: Exercises? On a plane?

A: Yes. I didn’t do many, of course. There isn’t much space on a plane.

M: How many passengers did the exercises?

A: Not many!

M: And how much champagne did they drink?

A: A lot! It was more popular than mineral water!

M: So, basically it’s a choice - mineral water and exercises or champagne and jet-lag?

A: That’s right. It’s a difficult choice!
