It is key to stay hydrated every day, but especially when travelling.
Whether you are on a short flight or long haul it is essential you drink enough water to avoid feeling dehydrated.
Admittedly airlines only give you a pesky cup of water when you ask for it, which is not helpful when the recommended daily intake is approximately two litres, depending on your age.
Clearly, the math isn’t mathing. Throw into the mix the fact airlines have strict liquid allowances, and do not let you take water through security, yet buying a bottle of water in Duty Free is expensive, and you’re in a real predicament.
This was the case for one holidaygoer who was reportedly fined £50 by Ryanair for trying to take her water bottle through security.
The solution? Travel friendly collapsible, and leak-proof water bottles.
There is a whole host of travel-friendly water bottles you can take on the go, whether you are flying abroad, commuting into the office, or heading to the gym.
Some water bottles can hold cold and hot beverages, others others feature built-in filtration systems or straws.
So, to avoid any headaches when on the go – quite literally from dehydration or being penalised – we have found the best water bottles to invest in to take you through security seamlessly, while still keeping you hydrated.
