Avoid important decisions while flying

According to Professor David Gradwell, a leading British aerospace medicine expert, airborne passengers should avoid taking important decisions while flying at high altitudes.

According to Prof. Gradwell, traveling by aircraft can make it more difficult to think as change in air pressure means brain has less oxygen and that diminishes performance.

The professor said that aircraft cabins are pressurized but only to a level equivalent to like top of a mountain 6 to 8 thousand feet, where the air is thinner and less oxygen reaches the brain.
