    Sounds like orthostatic hypotension causing vasovagal syncope. She should wear compression socks and drink plenty of water. There are ways of mitigating and managing episodes. It’s relatively common on planes.

      Interesting. We have a trip planned this fall. We’ll try that out.

      Thank you very much for the advice.
