Picture this. You’re at the airport about to embark on a flight to the destination of your dreams. You’ve sorted your travel insurance, exchanged your currency — you even have your mother-in-law looking after the dog. All you have to do is kick back, watch the in-flight entertainment, and scour the guidebooks of where to explore when you land.

But wait, what are you eating along the way?

There are certain foods best avoided before flying, and other foods that should never be eaten on an airplane — whether it’s out of consideration for your stomach or your neighbor’s nostrils.

I mean, do you really want to be that person on the plane running to the bathroom every time the ‘fasten seatbelt’ sign is turned off? Do you want to subject dozens of people to the waft of your kimchi simply because you had a craving?

There are many reasons you might experience a long layover when traveling. Layovers are the amount of time that is spent waiting between one flight and another.

The layover is sometimes unintended; a delay that is caused by the airline or poor weather conditions.
