Much  of the cause of headaches "after" a flight is caused by dehydration.  
"offgassing" of moisture as you breathe at higher altitudes will dehydrate you  
faster than on the ground. In addition, many folks don't drink enough (or as  
much as they usually do) when flying....because of the extra stop that it may 
 cause.


This hit's the nail on the head.  I have always not ingested  enough liquids 
when I should throughout the day.  I usually only  do when thirsty, and I have 
been told that's too late.  Adding to this  is making a point of not drinking 
to much before a flight as to  prevent a "critical bladder situation".
 
Great information!  Thanks,
