Either way, people like to have something to drink--and I've read "experts" that say flying is dehydrating and you do need to drink something. Your choice as to what it is; I usually go for bottled
water, sometimes diet Coke. Used to ask for fruit juice a lot more but now I don't as they're higher in sugar.

Our choice of non-alcoholic drinks on an airplane is bloody mary mix. I
seem to recall hearing that the various carbonated beverages actually
help cause dehydration -- doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but that is
what I have heard.

Probably not the carbonation but the caffeine. Of
course I'm acclimated to it, but in my experience,
the dehydration problem is overstated.

Put 2 Tbsp syrup in bottom of large, tall glass. Add seltzer water,
stirring as you pour, to within 2 inches of the lip of the glass. Add one
large scoop of very firm ice cream, trying to get it to straddle the lip
of
glass, yet still submerged in the seltzer to begin reacting with the
bubbles to create a foamy head. Top with whipped cream.
