A British Airways flight attendant has advised flyers how to avoid 'one of the most annoying' side effects.
When flying at 35,000ft, the dramatic change of altitude, sitting still and dehydration - not to mention salty on-flight food - can all cause uncomfortable bloating.
But a change of routine in this department could be a win-win for passengers.
Speaking anonymously to holiday provider Ocean Florida, the cabin crew member instead recommended 'a large cup of peppermint tea before take-off and every few hours once in the air'.
She added that this drink - a free option to all long haul BA travellers - can 'calm nerves' and 'reduce bloating'.
