Many people think knocking back a few drinks at the airport before a flight helps them relax and nod off on the plane, but experts warn it can have the opposite effect

Holidaymakers are being advised to steer clear of pre-flight tipples if they're hoping for a smooth journey.

At high altitudes, the mix of alcohol, sleep and low oxygen levels can lower blood oxygen saturation, increase heart rate, and disrupt sleep quality. This poor sleep quality can exacerbate jet lag symptoms, leaving travellers feeling lethargic upon reaching their destination. While alcohol might initially make you feel sleepy, it prevents you from reaching the deeper stages of sleep that are essential for feeling refreshed and revitalised. So, ditching that pre-flight cocktail could help holidaymakers maximise their trip and avoid spending the first day of their much-anticipated holiday battling sleep deprivation.
