A cabin crew member, who has worked for British Airways for seven years has revealed the secret to avoiding post-flight bloat.
A flight attendant has revealed the foods you should always 'avoid eating' before you head on a long or short haul journey.
The flight attendant explained: "Bloating is one of the most annoying things about flights - especially when travelling long-haul. Abby said: "The best thing you can do to minimise bloating and ensure comfort is to hydrate yourself - not only before your flight but also once you make it to your hotel or holiday villa too.
Revealing the things which can make flight bloat worse, she explained: "A really common mistake we see many travellers make is eating a large, greasy meal just hours before getting on the plane. This can cause bloating at the best of times but will only increase your chances of discomfort once in the air.
And it’s not just food you need to be careful of, she also warns that "alcohol and caffeine have dehydrating effects, causing your body to retain water and worsening bloat" - so it might be a good idea to skip your morning coffee and pre-flight beer!

British Grandmother on Death Row in Indonesia May Avoid Firing SquadA British grandmother who has been languishing on death row in Indonesia for 10 years may dodge a firing squad - due to a change in law. Lindsay Sandiford has been held in custody since 2013 after attempting to smuggle £1.6m of cocaine into the country. She was sentenced to death for the crime but a change in law - which is being introduced in January - could see it converted to a life in prison term due to good behaviour. Lawyers could then argue she should be returned to the UK, where she is likely to go free on the basis of time served in Indonesia. Fellow cons at Kerobokan Prison in Bali have revealed her hopes for freedom and shared a picture of her teaching fellow prisoners how to knit. One cellmate revealed the 67-year-old former legal secretary is dubbed the ‘grandmother’ by other inmates. An inmate told the Mirror: "There is hope that she can go home. If she can get through to 2025 then she thinks she may be able to avoid the death penalty." In a further boost, British officials have recently stepped up visits to see her from four times a year to once a month
