Why You Must Stay Hydrated

Drink More Water!

When you travel by air, it is important to stay hydrated. Why? Air travelers experience physiological changes due to increases in altitude and cabin pressure. Also, the recirculating air in an airplane creates a dry environment.

Staying hydrated can help you feel more comfortable, ward off illness and have more energy when flying.  So – to stay hydrated, follow these tips:

1. Avoid drinks with sugar, including alcohol

2. Eat foods with high water content, such as fruits and soup

3. Bring a water bottle with you and fill it when you get to your gate. Make it a goal to drink the full bottle of water during your flight – then fill up again when you land.
