No matter how comfortable the airplane seats are, long-haul flights can be tiresome. Your body faces the brunt because of prolonged sitting in one position for hours during flights. However, we have collected a host of inflight exercises that will keep you fresh and healthy throughout. Chances are you won’t feel any discomfort in your body by the time the plane lands. Long hours in the plane will be a headache of the past.
