Upset stomach?
Tips for a smooth flight

Dealing With An Upset Stomach On Board
Did you know digestion aboard can be slower, resulting in abdominal distension? For a comfortable trip, just follow some simple nutritional advice.
Bye Bye Puffiness
Don't abuse the intake of carbonated beverages and alcohol before the flight.
Be Moderate
Try to eat smaller portions of food before the trip.
Go Easy On The Salt
The ingredient causes body fluid retention. Try not to add it to meals on board.
Walk
If the trip is long, take a walk down the hallways. It helps circulation and prevents heartburn.
Keep it Light
Avoid foodstuffs that are high on fat or vegetables that cause flatulence.
Chamomile Tea
...but if you didn't, chamomile tea can help relieve the discomfort.
Drink Water
Drinking four pints a day and a pint more per hour of flight keeps dehydration away.
