Long haul flight - Part 2: Create your own first class

While I'm yet to find a solution for squishy economy class seats, I have some tips for feeling refreshed and at least looking like you've walked off a long haul flight spent in first class...

The list below might look excessive, but most of these 'essentials' come in travel size!

Firstly start with a large empty stainless steel water bottle, once you board the plane, ask an air host to fill it for you, keeping hydrated is fundamental in staying fresh.

Secondly invest in a clear cosmetic bag, and store it in the top of your carry on luggage so it's easy to access when passing through the security points at airports.

Fill the cosmetic bag with the following:

  • An eye cream which reduces puffyness and dark circles caused by lack of sleep, I love the Grown Eye Cream
  • A rich facial moisturiser is a must to fight the stale, dry aeroplane air, Antipodes Rejoice Light Day Cream is enriched with avocado oil, macadamia and jojoba to balance and moisturise, while manuka flower oil has antibacterial healing and protective properties
  • Protect lips with a moisturising lip balm, Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers do the trick and as an added bonus they have a shimmery tint
