As many of us get back to travelling in a post-vaccine world, having the right lineup of reliable travel products is a must for ensuring safe and comfortable trips.
And who better to turn to for the best travel essentials than flight attendants? After all, they’ve made a career out of being frequent flyers. Speaking to flight attendants from Air Canada, WestJet, and Sunwing Airlines about their favorite travel products, as well as the tips and tricks they use to travel as efficiently as possible.
Their top travel products include everything from a mini oven to a hotel door lock and a foldable mug. Whether you’re planning on flying, taking the train, or going on a road trip, these products will help you stay organized and energized throughout your trip.
A lot of flight attendants pack their own lunches to save money instead of buying hotel or airport food all of the time. A Mini Portable Oven – Food Warmer and Heater is very convenient to use on planes that have outlets. It’s also good for traveling as some hotels don’t have microwaves inside of their rooms.
A little collapsible travel kettle and a French press travel mug because hotel coffee is decidedly not tasty most of the time, and this lets you genuinely enjoy your morning caffeine boost.
This saves some $$$ on coffee while on the road and you can make fresh coffee in your room. Just fill a sandwich bag up with the grinds you desire and use a foldable flask to hold the creamer you like. The kettle has multiple uses to make tea, oatmeal, and ramen as a backup food option.
A resealable travel-size pack of antibacterial wipes because planes and airports can get germy, and these can wipe up a tray table and your hands before you eat, potentially saving you from someone else’s cold.
A tiny pack of hand soap sheets because you never know when you’ll run into a bathroom with no soap and be incredibly grateful to pull these out of your bag. Just one sheet is enough to get a nice and sudsy wash!
Your hands feel very clean after wash! Highly recommend! Each sheet of soap produces enough soap to give the comfort of knowing your hands are thoroughly clean.
And for those extra-long flights, a pack of sheet masks to help give your skin an extra boost of serious moisture and hydration.
These sheet masks use snail secretions (yes, really), which supposedly contain hyaluronic acid (which helps your skin absorb and hold on to water), glycolic acid (which gently exfoliates skin), and collagen (which can help firm skin).
An Add-a-Lock, which will give you a little extra peace of mind (without taking up much space in your luggage), especially if you end up staying somewhere with a wobbly security chain.
A pair of Clarks heels so you can look plenty professional but still stay comfortable on any business trips…even if you have to stand in a long line when you get to the airport and an even longer line at security.
