The material interrelations between bodies and objects are a wide, worthwhile and absorbing field, which has not been sufficiently examined yet. Focusing on such interrelations within air travel, this article contributes to the exploration of this field. It delineates that such interrelations do not simply happen, but that they have to be accomplished continuously by different participants with a certain risk to fail at many points. Within mobilities, such processes of interrelating occur under the specific circumstances of a moving vehicle. Based on empirical data from an ethnographic study on air travel, the paper is concerned with the ongoing dynamics of body-object-interrelations. Based on this analysis, it suggests emphasizing the continuous modification that material assemblages built of people and objects undergo even when “only” staying immobile during a flight. Passengers do not simply enter and exit a vehicle staying identical with themselves. Rather, they are continuously adapting to a material infrastructure that shapes and adjusts their corporeal needs and capacities, including their senses.

物体与物体之间的物质关系是一个广阔的、有价值的、引人入胜的领域，尚未得到充分的研究。本文着眼于航空旅行中的这种相互关系，有助于对该领域的探索。它描述了这种相互关系不是简单地发生的，而是它们必须由不同的参与者不断地完成，并且在很多点上都有一定的失败风险。在移动性中，这种相互关联的过程发生在移动车辆的特定环境下。基于航空旅行民族志研究的经验数据，本文关注身体-对象-相互关系的持续动态。基于这一分析，它建议强调由人和物体构成的材料组合所经历的持续变化，即使“仅”在飞行过程中保持不动。乘客不会简单地进出与自己保持一致的车辆。相反，他们不断地适应物质基础设施，以塑造和调整他们的物质需求和能力，包括他们的感官。
