    Grapes.

    I haven't figured out how to get enough water on a long flight, now that you can't bring your own I always get two of the little sip bottles whenever the flight attendants bring them around, but they never come around enough. Maybe I should start asking for four

    I take an empty water bottle (like a bike bottle) in my cabin luggage. I either fill it after crossing the security point or on the plane itself, asking a flight attendant to do it (sometimes they send me to the tap to fill it myself).

    I've tried and tested this system a few times in the past weeks (in Canada) and it worked without problems.

    I like Peanut M&Ms. As a kid my parents always got them for me on plane flights. But I ask the person beside me if the peanut smell bothers them before opening the bag.

    I've always like trail mix, but the saltiness has been too much since the water issue. Next time, I will try the empty bottle thing and see if they will fill it up for me. I'm thinking maybe I will do more baggies of moisture rich fruits like oranges and grapefruit...more hydration...

    LOL, I thought you were talking about snacking while riding your bike.

    Clif bars/luna bars and sliced apples.

    The water bottle idea is a good one, I will have to try that next time. Traveling is becoming such a hassle.

    Can't you buy a bottle of water in the little shop after you go through security? I mean, who wants to pay $3 for a bottle of water? But it's better than drinking from the tank on that plane! Or waiting for the flight attendant.
