5. An air traveler looses approximately 1.5 liters of water in the body during a three-hour flight.

The pressurized air is dry and thus makes one dehydrated.

The op should've made it clear that this applies only to flights at altitudes where cabin pressurization is required

Don't just wish bro, make a move about it else your wish will be another unfulfilled dream.

Flying airplanes today is easier than playing video games because most pilots fly planes only for about 4mins in total. 2mins of take off and 2mins of landing leaving everything to AP.
Thank you very much.

How can I become a pilot?

There is an aviation school in Zaria and another in Ilorin

Easier if you can go to South Africa. Lots of flight schools there with small planes which can help you gather flight hours to qualify to fly passenger jets

Cabin pressure most times causes loss of water in the body. That's why it's advised to try as much as possible to stay hydrated while onboard!
Re: 20 Facts About Airports, Airlines And Air Travelling by Faithful007: 9:25pm On Nov 28, 2019
Op, your fact 7 and 19 are wrong. American airlines is the largest airline by fleet size with 957 fleet. Emirates airline has just 257 fleet.

Also the 737 model is the most popular and successful aeroplane model as Boeing has sold close to 15000 units. it also accounts for the highest percentage of global air travel.
Get your facts right
