Bennett Winch suit carrier holdall
In the end, packing is about saving time, so I always take hand luggage. I utilise clothes I would wear on the plane and out for dinner. Bennett Winch is a British brand that does stunning, efficient luggage. This one has a suit bag and shoe compartments. It’s cleverly designed to carry everything you need. I have it in black and dark green.
Frances Prescott Tri-Balm
I’ve learned the hard way that flying is not always best for your skin. At the same time, taking all the products you need is hard. I discovered this balm about a year ago. It’s a cleanser, exfoliant and moisturiser all in one – so you don’t need to take everything separately.
Wellwear luxury lounge set
I don’t get smartly dressed for a flight, but I like to look stylish. Something that goes on every trip with me is a navy blue, cashmere Dolce & Gabbana unstructured blazer, which is like a comfortable suit jacket. I also always bring some good loungewear. As soon as the seatbelt sign goes off, I’m in the bathroom changing into my Wellwear’s luxury lounge set. I’m usually really hot on planes, so I need a breathable, comfortable fabric, and this one is both.
SAS Rogue Heroes by Ben McIntyre
My inefficient pick is a book, usually quite a big one. Most of the time, I never get around to reading it. Now, because of Wi-Fi on planes, work takes over. However, a book I recommend is SAS Rogue Heroes. It’s about how the Special Air Service started in WWII. These guys caused as much destruction behind enemy lines as possible. I think it would make a great film or TV series, and I’ve read that the person behind Peaky Blinders is going to adapt it.
Omega De Ville
I work out the events I’m going to, the outfits I need, and then the watches. I feel a bit strange without a watch. Omega De Ville is my daily one and Jaeger LeCoultre can be used for day and night. I’m a watch collector and have around 15. They’re not expensive (but not for everyday wear either) and all have a story behind them, like the original Breitling Navitimer, which are used by pilots to navigate.
