Drink plenty of water. “Dehydration can be avoided by drinking fluids throughout the flight,” says Dr. Sutker. Prepare for your flight by buying a big bottle of water before boarding the plane, and sip from it throughout your time on the plane. Many suggest eight ounces of water for every hour in the air.

The FAA requires that you wait at least eight hours before flying after drinking alcohol. Many airlines require that their pilots wait at least twelve hours before flying. The real issue is the blood alcohol level when you fly. The 8-hour and 12-hour rules assume that alcohol is metabolized at the normal rate.

For other types of surgery, allow: one to two days after surgery where a plaster cast is applied – if you have a broken arm or leg, it will affect where you can sit; for example, you won't be allowed to sit in an emergency seat and you may have to purchase an extra seat if you cannot bend your knee to sit normally.

The air inside the cabin of a plane usually has a humidity level of 10 to 20 percent — much lower than a comfortable typical indoor humidity of 30 to 65 percent. For this reason, it's very important to take measures to keep yourself hydrated while you're on a plane.

Pack a good moisturizer. The air inside the plane cabin can do a number on your skin, causing it to become dry, flaky, and itchy. You can hydrate your skin from the inside by drinking plenty of water and from the outside by applying a moisturizer to your face and hands — wherever you can retain moisture.

Flying may be a quick and convenient method of getting around, but it does have some drawbacks. Some of the common health problems that affect airplane passengers, for instance, are often the result of a lack of humidity in the cabin air, which can lead to dehydration if you're not careful.

However, the experiment to prove this point was done on lab rats so its efficacy on humans is highly debatable. Chong says being seated for long hours on a flight requires 5 to 10 per cent fewer calories than when you're on your feet, so you might want to cut back on some of the snacks. Instead, choose light meals with less sodium, sugar and fewer calories.
