"On long haul flights I always drink loads and loads of water and eat light and healthy food"
About this Quote
A long-haul flight is the kind of modern ordeal where glamour goes to die, and Lisa Snowdon’s line is a neat little act of image management: practical, disciplined, quietly aspirational. Coming from a model, it’s not just travel advice. It’s a ritual of control in a setting built to strip it away - recycled air, bloating, sleeplessness, the camera-ready body suddenly subject to biology.
The phrasing matters. “Always” and “loads and loads” sell not moderation but certainty: a repeatable rule that reads like a backstage secret without actually revealing anything risky. Water becomes a moral stand-in for purity and professionalism; “light and healthy” hints at restraint without saying “diet,” a word heavy with industry baggage. The subtext is the unspoken economy of the modeling world, where looking effortless often requires routines that are anything but. You don’t conquer jet lag; you manage the optics of it.
Culturally, it lands in that familiar wellness register where self-care and self-surveillance blur. Hydration is framed as a hack, food as fuel, and the body as a project you can optimize even at 35,000 feet. It’s also disarmingly normal, almost chatty - the tone of a magazine Q&A or a red carpet side question - which is precisely why it works. The advice is bland on purpose: relatable enough to borrow, polished enough to reinforce the brand.
