The arrival of the drinks trolley is usually a highlight of a long-haul flight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But a flight attendant has warned tourists that there’s one drink you might not want to order.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Sue Fogwell, a flight attendant for 22 years, a Bloody Mary is a bad idea on a plane.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her warning might come as a surprise to many as tomato juice is proven to taste better than usual once you’re up in the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Sue has also warned travellers to give the tap water on a plane a miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She revealed that she ‘never’ drank the tap water, also skipping the coffee and tea that’s made with the water.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The flight attendant explained that this is because the tap water comes from the plane’s water tanks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
