Default Best place to live and fly?

Does this senario fit the bill...
You flew on an airliner from Europe for at least eight hours prior to
arriving in the dryer climes.


No - flew from California in a Piper TriPacer on one instance, from
Houston in a Cessna 182 in another instance, and on SouthWest from
Houston on a couple of instances.

I don't remember how much I drank on the planes (GA or otherwise), but I
usually fly with LOTS of water if I'm going over sparsely populated/arid
areas in a light plane - just in case the fan stops (and usually have
some handy). Generally, I don't drink sodas. I don't doubt what you say,
but it seems that I drink gallons when I'm out west but still suffer.

Incidentally, BA are pretty good at making sure there's always water
available on their transatlantic flights.
