[quote:KungPowMeowMeow:MV8yMTQxOTEyXzM2MTY4ODk5X0QyMTFDRjgz] I am a flight attendant and it is not healthy to hold "trapped gas" in. That being said; think about what you eat the day leading up to your flight!!! If you are sensitive to spicy food, don't enter a wing eating contest or try Indian food for the first time!! Eat mild foods that you already know agree with you and everyone should be eating yogurt. I never have issues with trapped gas and I am in the air 1000+hrs per year. Please think about the people around you that will be trapped next to your curry-death-cloud-spewing ass for 12 hrs on that overseas flight. And everyone knows who is the source of the toxic fumes, trust me. [/quote]

A group of medical specialists has provided an answer to a dilemma that has faced flyers since the Wright brothers took to the air in 1903 -- is it okay to fart mid-flight?
The experts' recommendation is an emphatic yes to airline passengers -- but a warning to cockpit crews that breaking wind could distract the pilot and pose a safety risk.
The study concluded that anecdotal evidence that flying increases flatulence is not hot air, finding that changes in air pressure at altitude result in the gut producing more gas.
