Why Bottles May Spray During a Flight

Bottles can spray or expel liquid when opened during a flight—not simply because they were shaken. Aircraft cabins are pressurized, but the cabin pressure is lower than pressure at sea level. As a result, a bottle sealed on the ground has relatively higher pressure inside than the surrounding cabin air.

Opening the bottle releases this pressure difference, which can force liquid out. The same pressure change can make bags of chips puff up during a flight.
