Don't gas and go:
a lot of people find that foods with plenty of onions, cabbage and espresso beans make them feel gassy and bloated, and these symptoms can be irritated by air travel.

You can carry yours onboard and the flight attendants will refill it for you when it's needed. As a simple rule, sip 250ml of water for each and every hour on the plane.
Moderation guidelines:

Chow down with treatment:
you may not regard your body as a temple, but one easy way to prepare for an exciting flight is to avoid food that will make you feel grim once airborne. Food that's very greasy or starchy is a bad idea at the most of times, but eating it before a flight is a particularly bad. Also, flight food is, of requirement, made under very tight controls, so it sometimes gets a bad reputation, you might be best with it than the dodgy hole-in-the-wall spot around your office. Comair has established its very own catering business, Food Directions, so it can have complete control over quality and efficiency for the food delivered to its two flight brands, kulula. com and British Airways (operated by Comair). There's some serious science behind making sure food tastes good at 30 000 feet and a lot of research has gone into checking out how our taste-buds modify to the pressurisation and dryness of airliner cabin rentals, and the food is prepared accordingly.
