On the plane:
- Carry with you in your hand baggage sufficient amounts of any medication you must take.
- The air inside planes is dry, therefore to avoid dehydration drink non-alcoholic and decaffeinated beverages and water.

In the car:
- Prepare a first-aid kit with a thermometer, antiseptics, painkillers, antacids, and medications against motion sickness.
