Interesting. I, also, usually drink tomato juice while flying, and rarely at other times.
I don’t think it’s because I suddenly like the taste better (I never paid attention to how location affects taste). But most of the drinks offered are carbonated sodas, which I can’t stand. And the other juices offered are usually orange or apple, neither of which appeal to me. So, by process of elimination, I end up with tomato juice.

Know what’s good on a plane? Bloody Mary mix with lemon on ice, hold the vodka (if too early in the a.m.).

Wine seems to taste better at high altitude, too. I don’t know why, just that it does.

How do they suddenly like the taste before they even order it? Scent.

Tomatoes (and potatoes) were developed in the ?Andes at high altitude in the mountains. The local flora and fauna had to be attracted to them in order to spread the seeds around.

Yeah, but it does not count if you have an autopilot.

That’s interesting. I always get a craving for a bloody mary when I fly.
