Flight attendant reveals the hack to tackle turbulence when flying

The simple yet effective travel hack will make those bumpy moments a breeze.

Do you find yourself gripping the armrests and holding your breath whenever turbulence hits during a flight? Well, worry no more! 

A seasoned flight attendant has shared a simple yet effective travel hack to make those bumpy moments a breeze.

When seasoned flyer Nicky Kelvin could not sleep on a recent flight, he asked a cabin crew member to share her top-secret travel hack. He was shocked to hear her take on how to reduce the feeling of turbulence. 

"Cabin crew travel way more than you do," he starts the video at 4 a.m.! 

He proceeds to ask Taylor, the flight attendant, her travel hack.

"When turbulence hits, basically, just pretend you're jelly or submerged in jelly," she shares with a straight face.

Jelly on a plate...

"Wiggle in your seat like a little jellyfish; you'll feel so much better", she continues as she moves her arms around the galley.

The jelly method seems logical. By consciously allowing your body to sway and move with the plane's motion, you can reduce the tension in your muscles and minimise the impact of turbulence on your comfort. 

While most passengers would prefer a smooth flight without turbulence, content creator Nicky was desperate to try this new travel hack. Sure enough, his prayers were answered, and turbulence hit.

But does it work?

The video ends with Nicky relaxing and wiggling in his seat,  with the caption, "It works!"

Commenters were ready and willing to try this out on their next flights. 

"Love this! I will give it a go next time! Hopefully, people don’t think I am crazy," one said. 

"Can’t wait to try this and see the looks I’m going to get," another chimed in.

As with any travel advice, it's essential to prioritise your safety and adhere to the instructions provided by the cabin crew. The Jelly Technique is not a substitute for following safety protocols but rather a mindful approach to making your journey more comfortable.

So, the next time you're in the air and the plane encounters turbulence, shake off the tension and channel your inner jelly. Embrace the sways and bumps, and let your body move harmoniously with the aircraft. And you might enjoy a more serene flight experience amidst the clouds.

Smooth skies await—happy flying!
