Don't just wish bro, make a move about it else your wish will be another unfulfilled dream.

Flying airplanes today is easier than playing video games because most pilots fly planes only for about 4mins in total. 2mins of take off and 2mins of landing leaving everything to AP.

5. An air traveler looses approximately 1.5 liters of water in the body during a three-hour flight.


This part really got me confused like what really happens, why the loss of water?
Likely due to the artificial air and pressure in the plane. The cabin is pressurised because of low pressure at high attitude. Loss of water from breathing and skin.

That's about the amount of water an average footballer can lose in a 90 minutes game. Mane, Ronaldo, De Bruyne and other top players dictating the game may even lose more. Reason is obvious in this case of course.

Relative humidity inside a planes cabin is much lower than normal cause it's shielded from the outside atmosphere.
So your body looses water through "transpiration".
