And few people have more experience of travelling than the flight attendants, who take to the skies most days for work.
Sophie, who is a former cabin crew member for Emirates, explained why she always takes eye drops with her during long-haul flights.
She told Conde Nast Traveller: “When I was an air hostess, I would always pack eye drops.”
“You are spending up to 12 hours on a flight, so your eyes do dry out from the low humidity in the pressurised air.
“It’s helpful to put in eye drops throughout the flight so your eyes don’t get dry – I would reapply every few hours, including after I had a nap in the crew rest compartments.”
The bargain product can be purchased for as little as £2 from online chemists.
It can also be picked up for just £2.50 at supermarket chains like Tesco and Sainsbury’s, and £3.50 on Amazon.
The little bottles are also small enough to fit into hand luggage liquid allowances too.
On the Amazon website, the product has an overall rating of 4.6/5 stars and it’s received rave reviews from customers.
One person wrote: “They’re perfect for dry eyes.”
Another person added: “They’re easy to use and my eyes feel so much brighter when I use this product.”
In addition to the eyedrops, Sophie also recommended travelling with other beauty items like a hydrating lip balm to help keep her lips from drying out on a long-haul flight.
She also revealed that she packs hand sanitiser when she’s travelling.
Another flight attendant, who works for Cathay Pacific, also stressed the importance of using moisturisers on a long-haul flight.

They added: “It is essential for me to carry moisturisers and lip balms on flights to give my skin a little moisture boost.”
There are plenty of other ways to stay looking fresh.
Avoiding tomato juice is also a good idea, according to one flight attendant, as it can make legs swell on a plane.
Sun Online Travel has also previously revealed how passengers can get the best sleep on a plane.
Crew member Kara Mudler explained: “Do not go to sleep at 1pm – wait to fall asleep at a regular time. Your body will quickly re-adjust.”
