This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That sounds exactly like it.
I bet a little prep and informed management of the situation can resolve it for her. It's important to keep blood pumping to get it out of lower extremities and into the brain. Walking in the aisles and leg exercises while seated are easy options.
Elevating the legs + lowering the head can also help. If she does pass out, laying her down and lifting her legs can quickly get blood to the brain. Alcohol and large meals can exacerbate it. Good luck!
Thank you for the advice. It's really appreciated. I'll communicate it to her and we'll see if it helps during our next trip. :)
