Air travel enables passengers to traverse long distances to almost any destination in the world
within a matter of hours. However, despite the convenience and excitement of flying, long-haul flights
can take a considerable physical
(26)
on passengers.
Research has shown that passengers may lose 1.6 to 2 liters of body water during a 10-hour flight,
equivalent to about eight percent of total body water. Such dehydration can result in dry eyes, nasal
discomfort, and fatigue. For individuals who are more sensitive to dehydration, these symptoms may
become even more (27) .
One primary reason for in-flight dehydration is the low humidity level. While people typically find
humidity levels between 30 and 60 percent most comfortable, humidity levels in commercial airplane
cabins can drop to as low as 10 to 15 percent
(28)
continuous circulation and high-altitude
pressurization. This makes the cabin significantly drier than the Sahara Desert.
Anyone who spends a prolonged period of time
(29)
to such a low-humidity environment
will experience greater moisture loss from the body. When an airplane ascends to cruising altitude, the
body needs to work harder to absorb oxygen, leading to an increased respiration rate. This higher
breathing rate further
(30)
the loss of body moisture.
