    AbstractAir travel has become a natural part of modern life. Both the environment, they take place in and the physical changes humans are exposed to must not be underestimated. Changes of pressure and volume of gases in higher altitudes induce specific physiological reactions, whereas limitations to compensate need to be acknowledged. It is the artificial environment of the aircraft cabin that allows travel in usual flight levels. Nevertheless, mild hypoxia and its sequeale have to be considered.© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.
