what do you do with unfinished drinks on flights?

So, here's my little airplane dilemma: every time I fly, I get excited when the flight attendants roll out the drink cart. I usually ask for a Coke or cranberry juice—something about sipping a cold drink at 30,000 feet just feels right. But here's the catch: I never finish my drink right away. I like to take my time, but then I’m stuck with this half-full cup. If I leave it on the tray table, I’m constantly worried about turbulence sending it flying into my lap (or worse, onto the poor soul next to me). And if I want to put my tray table up to stretch or get comfy, I’m left awkwardly holding the cup, which is just annoying. I know some people just chug their drink or ask for a smaller portion, but honestly, I like to savor it. Has anyone figured out a clever way to keep your drink safe and out of the way on a plane? Maybe a trick with the seat pocket or something? Or is this just one of those little travel annoyances we all have to live with? I’d love to hear if anyone has a solution—or if you’ve ever had a drink disaster mid-flight! #airplanetravel #traveltips #midlifetravel #flightproblems #travelquestions #Travel
