I’m worried about the food on my flight to the UK so decided to fast (not really difficult as I would be asleep anyway). But found these snacks just in case.

Did you find any good books for the flight?

I wanted to get The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living" by Phinney and Volek but it wasn’t an audio book. So I got The case against sugar by Gary Taubes.

You might look at podcasts for the return flight, they are free and there are a ton of good keto podcasts out there, none better than our very own 2ketodudes productions though.

I already have the lastest one downloaded. I’m looking forward to listening to it as my husband and daughter both eat carbs. They have cut down a lot since I started last August.
I’m not sure that it is really that good for my husband because he is a marathon runner and last Saturday night there were just the two of us home for dinner and in hindsight it was a meal with very little carbs. Then on Sunday he ran a half marathon race and with about 1 km to go hit the wall. He slowed right down and was very disappointed with his performance.
He is very supportive of my WOE and even offered to fast with me when I return from the UK but he is quite thin and I don’t think he has enough fat to fast for long.

I just did 2 flights yesterday - one 2.5 hours and one for 6 hours - with a 6 hour layover in between. I fasted on the first flight, spent the layover at Heathrow, where I got a steak and salad at a restaurant, then went to a lounge and had some cheese and a few nuts. One the second flight I fasted, and also on the 2 hour ride home. Didn’t eat until the morning. It had challenging moments, but it was easier than I thought it would be. It’s good to always have that option.

I’m not very familiar with fasting and endurance athletes but there are some that do it and do it very well. @richard could point you in the right direction for information for your husband on how to incorporate Keto and fasting into his endurance running.
