If there is one place that is notorious for leaving you feeling dehydrated, it’s airplanes. The air in the cabin is far lower in humidity than we are used to, which can cause us to feel groggy and have the effects of jet lag hit much harder.

As you would imagine, drinking is needed to curb the dehydration. This can be in the form of water or a power drink filled with electrolytes.

But, as you know, the Transportation Security Authority (TSA) is super strict when it comes to which liquids you can take with you onboard.

“You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in your carry-on bag and through the checkpoint. These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item,” reads the rule on the official website.

It often means that you cannot drink your favorite beverage during the flight… unless you use this clever hack.

While liquids are not permitted, the TSA has a different rule for frozen liquids. 

“Frozen liquid items are allowed through the checkpoint as long as they are frozen solid when presented for screening.”

So, pop your drink in the freezer overnight and wait for it to thaw while in the air.
