Flydrate is on a mission to help you stay hydrated while flying.
Launched in the U.K. and targeted specifically at the air travel industry, Flydrate is a very specific type of electrolyte beverage. The drink was developed by scientists with input from airline pilots and cabin crew to help combat the low-humidity conditions that people experience during commercial air travel. The resulting drink is a lightly carbonated lemon and ginger-flavored electrolyte beverage that contains no caffeine, no carbs, and no sugar. The drink is also packed with functional ingredients, like potassium, magnesium, and pink Himalayan salt for hydration at altitude, as well as vitamins C, D3, and B5, zinc, and taurine to fight fatigue and support strong immunity.
Flydrate is currently available at UK private aviation airport Farnborough Airport, and in the rooms of the Aviator Hotel and in London’s Battersea Heliport.
