These are SO good. It's literally pressed juice and sparkling water but the taste... it just explodes in your mouth. They're SO good!
BA would do well to get these bad boys on board. Really surprised at how much I liked them (and healthy too!)

In Japan, if you go there, you can get the fabulous Pocari Sweat in powder form to make at home (or carry onto the aircraft). I admit it's not for everyone but I love the stuff (in moderation, it is somewhat sugary).
One can also get single serve sachets of lemon juice (for example, on Amazon) which allow one to make lemon water in-flight or add lemon to tea when it's not available from the tea supplier.

These are rather good. Carry an empty water bottle through security, fill in the lounge or on board, and drop the equivalent of a fruit tea-bag in to it.
this too--i know us americans love our iced tea--but if you have a water bottle, fill and add a fruity tea bag and in several hours you will have a nice fruity tea and ask for a glass of ice!
i dont know why i never thought of this for longhauls, but great idea Positor!

BA really isn't great for non-alcoholic options. With two kids who don't like fizzy drinks, I generally end up packing one of those little super concentrated squeezy squash bottles for them.
For me personally this isn't an issue as I'm generally mainlining LPGS.

Thanks everyone - got some good suggestions there.
Not heard of the Seedlip stuff before - think I'll try some of that at home before I go.
It won't quite be the same without the fizzy stuff and the red wine with dinner but I'd rather not feel like rubbish when I get there. As long as there's plenty of sparkling water I'll be happy!

OT, but QR do a great zero alcohol rose fizzy, -So Jennie.
Have to support those who trumpet the benefits of not drinking alcohol while flying. It was a revelation the first time I arrived at end of a LH not feeling rubbish.Jet lag is a problem for most people and can be managed within limits. But being hung over is entirely avoidable.
