BACKGROUND: Aircraft passengers’ physical activity levels are often limited during flight for extended periods of time, which can have serious impact on health, comfort, and passenger experience. However, several factors, such as limited personal spa... Read More about Posture, movement, and aircraft passengers: An investigation into factors influencing in-flight discomfort.
