Can 30 minutes of exercise and no water before a flight cause dehydration?

Possibly: This depends on how much sweating/water loss you experienced during your 30 minutes of exercise, as well as your state of hydration before you started the exercise.

Dehydration?: Exercise can cause dehydration (d) if it was due in a heated area and not enough fluid was taken. If your flight was long, that could also be a cause d. Airplane cabins are pressurized to a level of 7, 000 feet, so you would need increased amounts of water on a plane to prevent d for occurring. Always drink more fluid on an airplane to prevent d.
