There’s nothing glamorous these days about travelling by air, and it’s even worse for long-haul journeys. You’re trapped in a sweaty pressure cooker for hours on end, with cramped seats, scant legroom and tasteless meals — not to mention the blood-boiling habits of your fellow passengers.
To bring a touch of first-class to your economy trip, we asked frequent travellers for their in-flight essentials, from clever tech accessories to skincare goodies.
