She swears by an unusual thing when the flies - artichoke.
She said: "Artichoke - okay I know this sounds so weird but I've got it in tea and in pills and believe me, it works so good.
"I take it before my flight, during my flight or after my flight, it doesn't matter. It just works."
There is some science behind Robine's suggestion of eating or drinking something with artichoke in to help prevent bloating.
Artichokes are a great source of fibre and can help with digestion. By drinking tea or taking tablets with artichoke extract in, you can help speed up your digestion and avoid feeling bloated.
