Dehydration

Dehydration generally occurs while flying because of the low humidity in the aircraft. Feeling light headed, drowsy, sleepy or confused are the common symptoms. Some may experience a fainting episode. Dry skin is another problem due to dehydration. Drinking plenty of fluids, avoiding caffeine and alcohol will help ease the symptoms. Frequent application of a good moisturizer can cure dryness of the skin.
