Make your outfits versatile so you can use things more than once. Plan ahead, for instance if you pack a navy blue tuxedo as an outfit to wear in the evening, you can also use the tuxedo jacket with your jeans, white shirt and flats for the day. Brooks Brother, J Crew, Saint Laurent and Tom Ford tuxedos are my favourites! <b>A small amount of effort when packing <\/b>can help you get really organised, plus there are some <b>packing tips<\/b> at<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishairways.com\/en-gb\/information\/baggage-essentials\/packing-tips\">http:\/\/www.britishairways.com\/en-gb\/information\/baggage-essentials\/packing-tips<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Travel with <b>clean, well-moisturised skin<\/b>. Everyone has their favourite products. I swear by Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream and Shiseido Eye Mask. I love to freshen my face up during the flight with the Cr\u00e8me de La Mer Mist. I can\u2019t travel without these products!<\/p>\n<p><b>Water, water, water<\/b>. Hydrating yourself inside as well as outside helps with jet lag and dehydration. Also, keeps hair looking glossy and your skin looking fresh.<\/p>\n<p><b>Stretch<\/b>! Every hour you should get up and stretch your legs and do at least 30 seconds or one minute of exercise to get your blood circulating. I always stretch my arms over my head and move my hands like I\u2019m playing a phantom piano. Try leaning against the doorway to stretch your shoulders and to open up your chest. And for three simple options without even getting up from your seat: try a seated spinal twist; a half-forward bend; and slow neck rolls, five times in each direction.\u00a0 Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishairways.com\/en-gb\/information\/health-and-wellbeing\">http:\/\/www.britishairways.com\/en-gb\/information\/health-and-wellbeing<\/a> for more advice<\/p>\n<p>Pearly whites!\u00a0 Nothing is more welcoming than a pretty smile. I can\u2019t fly without toothpaste and a toothbrush.\u00a0 Keeping my mouth fresh and my <b>teeth clean<\/b> is a priority and certainly one that is appreciated when greeting people after a long flight.\u00a0 <b>British Airways\u2019 Club World amenity kits<\/b> are great as they contain both items!<\/p>\n<p>I like to tie my <b>hair <\/b>up on a plane. I think it gets less static and less dirty that way, and if I twist it up into a bun I can let it out when I deplane. Magic: it\u2019s like an instant blow-dry effect. If you have to go straight to a meeting I use Frederic Fekkai Dry Shampoo to quickly freshen my hair.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sunglasses <\/b>are a great way to accessorise an outfit while travelling. I firmly believe in my Tom Ford glasses, as well as a solid pair of Ray Bans.\u00a0 It\u2019s the ultimate jet-setter accessory.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of accessories\u2026 <b>Scarves<\/b>, everyone should have one in their bag while travelling. Great for warmth on the plane. They can be used as a blanket for your children or hoodie or neck warmer. I also love them during my trip to change up an outfit, it can be a sarong or an evening shawl.<\/p>\n<p>Reset your watch and try to eat and sleep in sync with your new time zone as soon as you board. Immerse yourself in that film you\u2019ve always wanted to see. <b>British Airways has an exceptional catalogue of entertainment<\/b>, from silver screen classics to Oscar buzz-worthy films.\u00a0 Plan your viewing at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishairways.com\/en-gb\/information\/entertainment\/in-flight-entertainment\">http:\/\/www.britishairways.com\/en-gb\/information\/entertainment\/in-flight-entertainment<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Hats <\/b>are hard to pack so choose one wisely. A fedora works in many situations, it\u2019s great for sun protection, it\u2019s great for styling and it\u2019s great if you didn\u2019t have time to style your hair before travelling. My favourite is Maison Michel.<\/p>\n<p>Bring a <b>bag<\/b> that isn\u2019t too big to carry and that doesn\u2019t unbalance your shoulders. The last thing you need is a crater-sized knot in your back.\u00a0 As my tote, I would choose something simple and streamlined, like the Michael Kors Collection Large Leather Tote; or opt for a little whimsy with the Tory Burch Penn Applique Canvas Tote. As for a carry-on suitcase, I love the Tumi Tegra Lite Carry-On; the Victorinox Spectra 2.0 Carry-on; and both Globe-Trotter and Rimowa are firm favourites. Of course, you can never go wrong with Herm\u00e8s\u2026 It was good enough for Grace Kelly.<\/p>\n<p><b>Shoes!<\/b> They are every woman\u2019s guilty pleasure. Rather than packing more shoes than are necessary for your trip it is great to travel in ones that you can use more than once. If that means you are wearing a pair of heels, just remember to take them off in flight, stretch your toes, put on your circulation socks and relax. I always have a pair of Laurence Dacade sandals in my carry-on.<\/p>\n<p>As any sports person knows <b>layering<\/b> is essential. I consider travelling a sport. Every person is different, layers are easy for travelling. You can always add one when you are cold or take one off if you get too warm. I always have a navy blue Celine cardigan in my bag when travelling.<\/p>\n<p>A <b>great trench<\/b> by Burberry Prorsum can travel the world with you.\u00a0 It goes over a LBD (little black dress) or blue jeans. It is extremely versatile. For instance look at Heidi Klum and Amal Clooney\u2019s airport looks.<\/p>\n<p>Wear minimal <b>jewellery<\/b> when travelling and pack statement pieces. I love jewellery, so I always have a small Smythson travel case with me where I keep my accessories.<\/p>\n<p>Invest in <b>headphones<\/b>. My favourites are Beats by Dr Dre or Bose. They allow you to get in your own headspace and really enjoy your favourite tunes.<\/p>\n<p>Clothing is only part of looking good at the airport but <b>feeling healthy<\/b> only makes you look better. I love vitamins and vitamin boosters, Berocca is a savior as is Bee Prepared. After a long flight anything that revitalizes is great to have on hand.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone seems to have a <b>phone, iPad or laptop <\/b>in their hand at some point while travelling. <b>Accessorising your electronics<\/b> brings your personal style to their lives. My favourite way to accessorise is with the Anya Hindmarch permanent stickers, every designer seems to have a fun phone case at the moment.<\/p>\n<p><b>A quick touch up before landing<\/b>. Lips, bronzer and concealer are all you need. My personal favourites are the Tom Ford bronzer, Trish McEvoy concealer and Charlotte Tilbury\u2019s Kissing Lipstick in pale pink. Make sure you have a small bottle of your favourite fragrance too.<\/p>\n<p>Use the time wisely. <b>Get some rest<\/b>. Use the flight as a mini-vacation. You\u2019re away from your emails! You have the luxury of not being bothered for a few solid hours so de-stress with a colouring book for adults! Write a letter to an old friend, and just take some time to think and savour this uninterrupted sojourn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If possible I prefer a carry-on only unless you are going for more than four days.
