Booking flights and hotels are fairly easy when it comes to travelling. But the true struggle is knowing what to pack for the upcoming flight and especially for the long layover. Because after you’ve checked in your luggages, you won’t be able to take whatever you need for the layover during your transit. So if you’re struggling to figure out exactly what you need to pack, here are some items we personally would bring for a long layover.
Burberry Fringed wool-jacquard scarf
While long flights typically provide you with blankets, it’s always a good idea to have a scarf on hand. This is because airports can get pretty chilly and a fluffy scarf can help provide your neck with some warmth throughout your layover. You can even makeshift it into a blanket for a little nap on airport benches. net-a-porter.com
Beats Studio3 Wireless Headphones
Airports (and flights) can get pretty noisy, especially during the peak travel season. So having a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones can help make your layover a little easier. It’s also easier to locate compared to earphones, and you won’t need to worry about your wireless earphones getting lost while travelling. apple.com
Johnstons Of Elgin Ribbed cashmere-blend socks
If you’re travelling with shoes then you most probably already have socks with you. But sometimes those socks aren’t thick enough to keep your feet warm on your layovers. So we recommend packing a few pairs, which you can layer on each other till you’re feeling snug. net-a-porter.com
Valentino Garavani Rockstud rubber sandals
You might want to pack along some fluffy home sandals with you to wear on layovers but we’re here to tell you no! Because airport toilets, especially during layovers, are typically messy and wet. So you’ll want to bring a simple pair of sandals that’s waterproof and can be cleaned easily under running water. net-a-porter.com
Aesop Herbal Deodorant Roll-On
Packing your entire shower room is a far cry when it comes to travelling, which means we’ll need to resort to easier and lighter products. This herbal deodorant from Aesop is sure to keep you smelling fresh on your layovers and even on your flights. net-a-porter.com
Briogeo Blossom & Bloom Ginseng + Biotin Volumizing Root Powder & Dry Shampoo
One thing that’s inevitable when travelling on long flights is greasy hair. And because we’re not allowed to bring aerosol cans onto flights, many of us just bun our hair up and call it a day. But here’s a product that features a powder formula that’s easy to use on long layovers. Just sprinkle a little onto your roots and massage it in. sephora.my
Angela Caglia Gold Cryo Facial Set
Long flights can be stressful and if you have time during your long layovers, how about packing a little self-care treat? This luxurious set allows you to achieve facial experiences no matter where you’re at. It also helps to depuff your skin, which can be beneficial as you won’t be getting as much sleep as usual. net-a-porter.com
