Don’t miss… <\/strong> The expert said: “Make sure to drink plenty of water. Dehydration can make you more susceptible to motion sickness.”<\/p>\n It’s really important to stay hydrated on a plane journey, particularly if it’s a long haul flight. Tourists can ask the flight attendants for water if they don’t have their own.<\/p>\n However, it’s a good idea to bring a reusable water bottle which passengers can fill up at water fountains after passing through airport security.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The expert added: “While you don’t want to eat too much, having a little food in your stomach can help you feel better.”<\/p>\n It’s important to eat the right food before a flight and passengers should try to avoid alcohol before flying.<\/p>\n Fast food could also make passengers feel unwell and tourists should bring their own food if they’re worried airline food could make them nauseous.<\/p>\n
