Avoid the fast food in airports

Go for the vegetarian meals
Dry air and high cabin pressure dull taste buds on aircrafts so in flight meals remedy this with extra salt. So opt for the vegetarian option because it has less salt and is healthier for you according to AARP.
Treat. Yo. Self.
Skip liquids all together
Just add water and these sheets can do everything from clean your clothes to wash your hands.
Reset your watch

Avoid congestion with early morning flights
