    OK. Trying again. Just back from holiday and asking about the likelihood of a 10 hour flight contributing to apparent weight gain.

    Yes, water weight. I gain about 2-3lbs from each air travel. And about 4-6 days (well, usually nights) later I have to go to the toilet an awful lot and it's gone again. It's normal. Nothing to worry about.
