Picture this: You’re staring down the barrel of another long-haul flight. The dread creeps in, but fear not! I’ve got your back. With years of jet-setting under our belts (thanks, Australia, for being so far away from everywhere!), I’ve compiled the top five items to take on board with you to make your journey a breeze. Stick around till the end, because trust me, you don’t want to miss out on the game-changer waiting for you at number five! Welcome aboard the Linke Lifestyle Express! Buckle up, fellow travellers, as we take you on a whirlwind of travel experiences, insider tips, and a sprinkle of entertainment magic along the way. I’m Mardi, joined by my partner in crime, Michael, and together, we’re here to revolutionise your travel game! The Five Travel Essentials for Long-Haul Journeys Imagine this: a throbbing headache, a blocked nose, or aches and pains creeping in. It’s a nightmare! That’s why I always bring an emergency medication kit. My go-to lifesavers include: I keep these organised in handy zip lock bags for easy access and peace of mind. Why let minor discomfort ruin your flight? In the world of long-haul flights, hydration is your best friend. Whether the airline hands you a water bottle or not, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got your trusty companion by bringing your own reusable water bottle onboard. Stay refreshed, stay hydrated, and hey, it’s perfect for washing down those painkillers too! The secret to surviving the dry, recycled air of the cabin? Always have lip balm and a moisturiser! Keep your lips soft and your skin glowing with your portable arsenal. I recommend using a sample-sized bottle of moisturiser or transferring it into a tiny pot to save space while keeping your skin replenished throughout the flight. When the cabin feels like a sauna, you need a cool down companion! Beat the heat with your trusty handheld fan. Compact and USB-chargeable, this multitasking champ not only keeps you cool but also provides charging for your devices. Say goodbye to stuffy flights and hello to a breath of fresh air! In-flight entertainment is your savior for those endless hours, so say no to uncomfortable airline headphones and embrace the cozy comfort of your own over-ear headphones. I love my Bose QuietComfort headphones. Immerse yourself in your favorite movies or shows with their outstanding noise-canceling feature. For added convenience, consider pairing them with an AirFly for a seamless entertainment experience. Conclusion Thanks for journeying with us today!
