After what feels like decades of COVID lockdowns and restrictions, travel is now on the horizon (literally). Yay!
With more countries opening their borders and the prospect of taking (dare we even say it) a long-haul flight and escaping to an island paradise, a cosy ski resort or getting lost in a beautifully, exciting, cosmopolitan jungle, it becomes tempting to use up all of the leave we’ve accrued in lockdown. But it’s been so long, do you even remember the essentials for comfortable multi-hour plane travel?
Let’s give you some suggestions to make it as enjoyable as possible:
Celebrate!
The world opening up once again is cause to celebrate with a glass of Champagne Pommery’s World Collection Céleste, just before you actually travel through it!
After traveling around the globe to Australia, South America, Japan and Africa, this year, the limited offering will be transporting us all to Asia. The 2021 limited offering, titled Céleste, pays homage to the world’s largest continent with five limited edition bespoke gift boxes.
For the five varieties, the custom-created artworks draw inspiration from traditional Asian design, featuring rich colours embellished with ornate gold and silver foil patterns – an elegant addition to any seasonal celebration. The cuvées available in the Céleste range include the Brut Royal NV, Brut Rosé NV, Brut Apanage NV, Apanage Blanc de Blancs NV and Grand Cru Vintage.
Prepare for the overwhelming happy feels
Scent Australia Home have created a range of nostalgic destination scents to prepare you for that moment when you step off the plane and inhale salty air or feel the European sun. With Limoncello, New York, Miami, Palm Cove and Beach Party diffuser oils paired with their exclusive Smart Diffuser powered via Bluetooth, you know you will be emotionally, physically and mentally ready to explore.
The sustainable holy grail of good hair while you travel
Must bring: Bar None hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner Bars. They are liquid free to abide by flying rules and will last you 3 times longer than normal liquid shampoos and conditioners!
The Bar None range is also zero waste, has no plastic packaging or microbeads and is cruelty free in their ingredients and supply chain. Making it easy to have great hair and care for the environment.
Comfort is key
Being comfy while traveling is essential, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look street savvy while doing it. Seen on the likes of Gigi Hadid, European fashion label NOCTURNE is bringing a facelift to your plane ‘fit with bold colours, one-off prints and top quality fabrics.
Created in Istanbul in 2012, the brand has earned a reputation as one of Europe’s top womenswear labels, and is launching with six ranges. From flirty and fun to fierce and feminine, there is an option for every taste.
Coffee is a non-negotiable
Setting that early alarm to ensure that you make the flight can be tough! Pop a Minor Figures Nitro Can in your carry on to ensure your top quality caffeine hit.
The plant-based Nitro Can offering has a flavour for all tastes: with latte, mocha, chai latte, the new matcha latte, all with the Minor Figures iconic oat mi*k and black coffee for those who enjoy a balanced and considered cold brew straight up. The special nitro widget creates a micro foam so you have café quality coffee conveniently in the palm of your hand.
Oh and don’t worry – with Minor Figures going carbon neutral in 2020, all you have to do is tick the ‘Carbon Offset’ box when you book.
