The holidays are coming up and for many of us that means some long flights. I fly a lot so I understand that it’s not always fun or d’lish, but I’ve got some tips to help with that.
If you’re flying international on a long flight, definitely pack some food. Make sure to bring compact thing and nutritious items that won’t go bad.
Some of my go-to’s are:
-
•Protein bars
•Laughing Cow Cheese wedges (these are ok at room temp)
•Almonds
•Easy peel clementines or mandarins
•Baby carrots
•Baggies of crackers or gluten-free snacks
And don’t forget snacks for the kids that are not messy or smelly!
Stay away from high sodium tomato juice and Bloody Mary’s (tempting as they can be) on long flights. Pack only items low in sodium and remember the “puffy factor” when you fly! And keep the coffee to a minimum too; it’s very dehydrating.
Make sure to drink lots of water. I like to pack a lemon and a plastic disposable knife to add a slice or wedge to your water bottle. Then ask the flight attendant to fill it up for you or depending on specific airline regulations, order 2 glasses of water and fill it yourself.
Dish D’Lish Mediterranean Quinoa Salad is my Favorite for Travel!
It’s always good to be prepared. And if you’re flying out of Sea-Tac check out my Dish D’Lish (pre- & post-security) to pick up some healthy AND tasty in-flight snacks for on the go. Happy travels! -Kathy
