RT @cjmcginnis: @QantasUSA Yay Qantas! Great to seeya on the #TravelSkills chat today! Love seeing your big birds parked at @flyLAXairport…

Q3 Best products to pack that make a long-haul flight more comfortable? #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A3 A super comfy eye mask that fits snugly to your face and blocks out the light because passengers are usually on different sleep times. #TravelSkills

A3. Best products to pack for long flights? Let me introduce you to my little friends. #miniatures #airlinebottle #travelskills


replying to @Australia @Australia A3 I swear by my Bucky (@ilovemybucky) eye mask. Big and puffy and really blocks light, unlike the thin ones offered by airlines. #TravelSkills


A1: i’ve done so Fiji, I would also love to see Australia and New Zealand. #TravelSkills

A3 The best products to have on a long-haul flight are: A lightweight scarf, hand sanitizer, hand cream, floss, mouthwash and "Simply Sleep" pills. #TravelSkills https://t.co/N7xiwTSNUc


so want to fly @virginair @VirginAustralia !! #travelskills @Australia https://t.co/PeLMd11mAX

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis A3: From face masks to noise-blocking earbuds, here are our tried-and-true, expert-approved essentials to bring on board with you: https://t.co/KLhrdqAyrp #TravelSkills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers A2 For me, @emirates and @SingaporeAir have the best in-flight entertainment for sure! #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills TIP There are plenty of direct flights to Australia. It just takes an in-flight movie, a meal and glass of wine, a nap and you’re here! #TravelSkills

I just took long haul flights on @cathaypacific to #scuba #dive in Raja Ampat and @united for safari in #Zimbabwe and really enjoyed the entertainment on both! #travelskills #travel @tourismzimbabwe


replying to @Australia @Australia TIP If traveling with little kids, get the @FlyTotTravel since it turns a coach seat into a first class one #TravelSkills

A3: Always travel with my own amenity kit which includes, among other things, face masks, deodorant, hand wipes, eye mask, etc. #travelskills


replying to @Australia @Australia A3 I also carry on Mack’s silicone earplugs. They mold to your ears and block out nearly all sound. #TravelSkills


A3. At minimum my @Bose noise-canceling headphones https://t.co/pOoWFXaSrR, Apus pillow if I'm not in 1st class https://t.co/1Ih1JAC777, iPad loaded w/ ebooks, my own water bottle already filled https://t.co/PIFY0qvIIM & mini sleeping pills https://t.co/PPxeu6kZ2s #TravelSkills


replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet @Z_Everson @garyleff @OneMileataTime @theplanetd @DailyTravelTips @PeterSGreenberg @LuxeTiffany I’m a big fan of #AirCanada for long haul flights. Beautiful planes and great service. #travelskills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers Joining from #Scotland Selfie from earlier in week. A great wee visit to #lallybroch itself aka Midhope Castle earlier his week @Outlander_STARZ @SamHeughan @caitrionambalfe #sunny #scotland @VisitScotland A must visit for fans of the series #travelskills


A3: These are the in-flight essentials we never travel without: https://t.co/Pr36gbTW3S #TravelSkills


A3 Slip-on shoes, Wool socks, Light jacket, Eye mask, Ear plugs and most important, Snacks. But most of the time, I’ll be sleeping. #travelskills


Q2 What airlines have the best entertainment options on long-haul international flights? I’m partial to @QantasUSA, @VirginAustralia & #airnewzealand due to charming #flightcrews but @delta is my #USA favorite #TravelSkills


replying to @cooksisterblog @cooksisterblog @emirates @SingaporeAir Never flown them so I can't say - they seem like nice airlines though #travelskills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers A3 a book, cashmere blanket, eyeshades, and Ambient! #TravelSkills

A3: An eye mask is great for blocking out light, so hopefully you can sleep better. #travelskills

Adding this to the wish list! We might be returning to #Australia next year and hadn’t thought of this #travelskills https://t.co/VjQIHWBekl

RT @QantasUSA: A2 We hate to brag, but with more than 2,000 hours of inflight entertainment including premiere movies and TV box sets, plus…

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis A3: A warm/soft/light throw (cashmere if possible); thick socks; eye mask. If you're on some specific meds, (w blood clot risks) compression socks or stockings. Moisturizer. #TravelSkills

replying to @PriscillaPilon @PriscillaPilon @united Very true. On the plus side, I'm almost done with Season 2 of Stranger Things thanks to my iPad :) #travelskills

replying to @Australia @Australia TIP In economy class, it’s a great idea to buy a big bottle of water to sip on during the flight so you don’t bother the FA too much! #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills Backup power in case the 🔌 in the seat malfunctions. #TravelSkills

A3 Must have downloaded @netflix programs, hand sanitizer, comfortable eye mask and one glass of Bordeaux. 🍷 #TravelSkills

#TravelSkills The app PackPoint is useful for packing with no stress. https://t.co/wzaVtaHF3h


replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis @Australia @ilovemybucky I love that brand too! #travelskills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis A3: Go-to products for a long-haul flight include a proper, comfortable pillow, eye masks, ear plugs and compression socks. #TravelSkills

A2 It's been a while since I've had a long-haul international flight. Not sure what it looks like nowadays. I know I haven't been on any of the top 3 on this list but have heard many great reviews for Dubai's Emirates https://t.co/BPm8IglhP8 #TravelSkills https://t.co/jkVPdLzUzu

replying to @Travellersoul76 @Travellersoul76 @SingaporeAir @Finnair @cathaypacificUS @KoreanAir_KE A2 I totally agree with .@SingaporeAir, one of the best carriers. .@Emirates is still great but have started to slide in recent months. #TravelSkills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers United had some good options on the AMS-SFO flight last month, but I'm happy to just sit and stare at the moving map. Mezmerizing! #TravelSkills


RT @travelskills: Thanks for joining the #TravelSkills chat! Today’s topic: Long-haul flights, including to @Australia!

replying to @micheleherrmann @micheleherrmann All are fantastic! We might be heading to Fiji to dive later this year! #TravelSkills

RT @PriscillaPilon: A3 Must have downloaded @netflix programs, hand sanitizer, comfortable eye mask and one glass of Bordeaux. 🍷 #TravelSki…

Roll Call #travelskills : Joining from the great Pacific Northwest but my heart is still back in #Maui @HaikuHouse and @MauiWine tasting on Ulupalakua the only AVA in #Hawaii ! Cheers #TravelSkills


replying to @CaitlinKellyNYC @CaitlinKellyNYC @cjmcginnis A3 Great recs! We mentioned compression socks as being a solid "have" for flying. #travelskills

RT @epic7travel: I just took long haul flights on @cathaypacific to #scuba #dive in Raja Ampat and @united for safari in #Zimbabwe and real…

A2 I liked @united's offering on the Newark-Prague non-stop last week. 212 movies, 137 "short programs" including something called "Hooray for Mount Fuji," 11 podcasts, @Headspace content. #TravelSkills
