I used Flyhidrate on a recent trip to the UK and followed the suggestions on the packaging. The 300ml bottle easily slipped into the seat pocket in front of me and the ease of utilizing the additives in the confined space of my economy seat was simple and effective. After a significant flight I arrived feeling better than previous trips. The following day I was refreshed and experienced none of the usual jet lag symptoms. I would happily recommend Flyhidrate to anyone heading away on a long haul flight.

Before heading off to Europe I investigated how best to mitigate jetlag and swelling in my feet and legs, which result in blisters. I came across Flyhidrate via a google search and decided to try it. Facing 30 hours of travel between Christchurch, NZ and Athens, Greece I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I followed the instructions and used Flyhidrate on both flights. On arriving in Athens I felt fantastic, no swelling and no jetlag. I headed out on arrival to start sightseeing. Walking over 10km on the first day I was amazed I had no foot pain or blisters, no tightness or swelling at all. I didn’t suffer from jetlag and was able to see all the amazing sights in Greece. I will never travel without Flyhidrate and can’t recommend it enough.

I used your product for the first time recently for a long haul trip to Dubai. I am an international Rugby 7s referee, and being in good physical condition on arrival is imperative heading into a big tournament in demanding conditions. The usual effects of long haul travel were noticeably less and I felt better on arrival. Well done on your product and I look forward to using it again on the way to Las Vegas for my next 7s trip in February.

I have used Flyhidrate on two long haul flights and felt way better on arrival than my travel companions. I like that it is designed not just for hydration but also for other flight issues like radiation exposure - not something I had ever thought about previously. I plan to use it on any future flights and take extra for the return journey.

My general feeling after my Flyhidrate flight was that I felt great. I had no issues getting straight in to training and didn’t have the usual lethargic feeling that I always have after long travel. So I can really only put that down to your product – the drinks actually tasted good and a lot better than I expected. They weren’t a problem to drink at all and if anything I looked forward to the next ones after the first one.
I guess the big test was how my race went. I won, so for me Flyhidrate has made quite a significant impression. Awesome work guys, looking forward to my next trip and my next few bottles. Talk soon.
Kind regards,

We bought the larger size set of Flyhidrate from Sydney airport on our way back home to London – my husband and I shared the three larger bottles as per the instructions on the first (14hr) leg of our journey and felt really good on arrival at Dubai. Unfortunately Flyhidrate is not available yet in Dubai otherwise I would have bought more for our second 8hr flight, having said that we arrived in London and were not totally exhausted as we have been on previous occasions doing this flight to and from Sydney, so I believe that Flyhidrate really helped both of us and we look forward to it being available in London and other airports too. We also both managed to settle into normal life very quickly with none of the normal jet-lag symptoms! For interest, I am 52yrs old and my husband is 48yrs old!
We would welcome another pack for a return trip to Oz in April for our London – Sydney flights, once there we can purchase more from Sydney for our return flight. Please let me know if it is going to be available any time soon or where I can get some in the UK.
Thank you and kind regards, Susan Long
We had a gruelling flight over to South Africa, but a relatively quick flight back, so you can image Flyhidrate worked wonders. I must say, I swear by your product! I had a conference to execute last week – I have not felt any jet-lag nor felt tired at all. The product was taken easily, and no issues getting the products through security. We were really happy! So thank you kindly for that, Flyhidrate made the travel part of our trip a lot easier – that’s for sure…

Off to Vancouver in 24 hours then back home to NZ in 10 days and need to know where to get some more please. Can I buy it at Vancouver airport? Help please as 14 hour flight back home would be better feel with your product.
Many thanks.

Flyhidrate has been the my ticket to in flight wellbeing! As a constant business traveller escorting tours my peak post flight performance is top of mind. Flyhidrate has not only assisted my hydration without countless toilet trips, whilst relieving my usual tired swollen legs but most importantly has allowed me to disembark off my long haul flights with more mind clarity then ever before.
I need to be on top of my game escorting clients around the world, Flyhidrate has allowed me to do this, last the distance and enable my usual sleep patterns. I simply won’t travel without it.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for supplying my Flyhidrate pack to Brisbane for my trip to Europe. Your service was phenomenal with the CEO no less answering my question on the website! I took as instructed and arrived feeling pretty good. Great product and will definitely be buying again for my next adventure. Thanking you.

I just flew back from Auckland to San Francisco and purchased Flyhidrate for the first time. I feel FANTASTIC!! Everyone else in my party is suffering Jetlag effects and I am feeling great and back to work after a 7 hour sleep! When will Flyhidrate be available online or in the states?
On another note, I handle a lot of touring musicians and have already recommended this to all of them. As soon as this is available worldwide, please let me know and I will post on our sites and facebook pages....
It really was THAT good!

Flyhidrate will be massive. No more worries about dehydration and importantly reducing the effects of DVT. Great product.

Thank you for sending some Flyhidrate for us to use on our recent flight from the UK to San Francisco. We felt so well when we got to the States. Mum suffers with chronic fatigue and we honestly believe Flyhidrate made a world of difference to her well-being during and after the long-haul flight. We are looking forward to your powder product range launching in the UK so that we can stock up and use it on all upcoming flights.
Many thanks.

Chris, your product flawed me. I travelled with my 15 yr old daughter we caught the 2355 Auckland to Hong Kong, she felt jet lagged and for the first time ever I had none at all. I intend to buy several bottles on my way back thru Auckland Airport.
I think a huge market as a health drink. Way beyond NZ.

After sixteen years operating a heavy turboprop aircraft on domestic night freight operations between two of New Zealand's major cities, Auckland and Christchurch, the effects of a combination of regular exposure to high cabin altitude (approx. 10,000 feet) during cruise and other factors such as higher than normal temperatures and high work load flight deck environment, as experienced on this particular aircraft type, were becoming apparent.
Due to fact that most airfreight flight crew spend a great deal of their time working abnormal hours (back of the clock) much of it after midnight local time, sleep patterns are affected too. Many of us freight pilots average around three to four hours per day between duties, catching up on sleep when time and circumstances permit.
Even though I regularly drink a quantity of bottled water during the flight, eat healthy food and follow a relatively strict fitness regimen, I still feel the effects of exposure to this work environment.
Observations:
After trialling Flyhidrate product over several nights, and closely following the instructions recommended for short haul ops, I did start to notice a positive difference. I noticed that I wasn't suffering from the fatigued / hung over feeling that regularly follows a series of nights operations.
My additional conclusion:
- Flyhidrate appears to encourage you to consume extra fluids (water)
- It does appear to be beneficial, by providing a better hydration base than
bottled water.
I personally recommend this product to long haul passengers and Flight crew.
