TOP 5 TRAVEL HACKS FOR LONG HAUL FLIGHTS

(1) Good Seating

When it comes to good seating. You cannot leave it to chance. When booking your flights see if there is a way to select your seats beforehand. The exit aisle on the plane usually has more space. On the day of your flight don’t be shy to ask at the check-in if exit aisle seats are free. Also another hack is that if there are 3 or 5 seats in a row that are free, you pretty much have a bed.  

(2) Exercise

To avoid getting cramp while on your flight it is important to take a stroll down the aisle in order to get blood flowing through your body. You can do other light exercises such as knee ups and shoulder rolls to loosen your body up. You can do these light exercises in between films and game sessions to create a bit of routine.

(3) Entertainment

Remember to preload your tablet or smartphone with some movies or TV shows to watch. Create a flight playlist and download a few games that you know you can play for hours. Remember to ask the airline if they will have WiFi or USB outlets on the plane. It is also important to have noise cancelling headphones to get you in the zone and fully relaxed for your flight. Also, remember to carry a high capacity charging battery for your devices.

(4) Pack smart

When everything important is in your backpack you will sleep so much better on the plane knowing all your stuff is with you. 

So much time is wasted waiting to collect your luggage from the carousel. When you have your backpack with you it’s nice to be able to get off the plane and head out the airport and begin enjoying your trip.

(5) Catch up on stuff

A long flight is the perfect opportunity to finish editing those images, organise your photos and finish that blog entry you never had the time to get round to. It’s also a great time to think of all of the things you aim to do and the places you want to see once you get to your destination.  

Introducing: The Dragon Range

We have been going through a lot of changes to make our company even better for you guys. We know that you have stuck with us watching our growth and development. We listened to you guys and our intuition and created an even more evolved theft-proof bag for your journey. Like all our bags, we pay very close attention to detail and craftsmanship to maintain high quality. After months of creative development we took one step further and created the new Dragon range; it was inspired by watching too many seasons of Game of Thrones and watching How To Train A Dragon (Love that movie!). Mythology and the beauty of the imagination are powerful forces. We feel these elements play a huge role in fuelling our curiosity to travel to explore the unfamiliar. We infused these ideas into the design of our bags. In regards to functionality we made sure that it could fit a lot more stuff for your travels, especially laptops for easy access. The normal sized bags can fit a laptop up to 15 inches. We also added a fluorescent dragon skin that reflects in the night so you can be easily seen and stay safe (We kind of geeked out on this because we think it is a pretty cool feature).  Also, we created the mini dragons aswell. Now you all can have your own pet dragon on your back that keeps your stuff safe.  

Introducing the Dragon range available at selected retailers and the Online Shop.

GLOBAL CITIZEN: MEET KIRBY

We had the pleasure of photographing Kirby. She moved to London a few years ago and she is already making major waves in the modelling and fitness world. She is full of energy and is always smiling and we are sure we will be seeing more of her doing her thing and taking over the World! Meet Kirby! :-) 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT LIVING IN LONDON? 

The opportunities. If I'd never have moved to London I really don't think that I'd have been able to experience half of the things that I have. You really don't know what's going to come your way next, which makes it all the more exciting.

WHERE IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU LIKE TO VISIT?

There are three places that are at the top of my list... Australia, as I hear that the fitness scene out there is amazing and the weather doesn't look so bad! ;) Nigeria because when people find out that I'm part Nigerian they always ask if I've been and one day I would like to turn around and say yes! Finally I'd have to say LA, mainly because I think it could be good for me career-wise out there. 

WHERE IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO EAT IN LONDON?

For a quick bite I'd say Planet Organic and for date night it has to be Sushi Samba! 

WHAT DO YOU LOVE DOING?

Exercising and sunbathing! Unfortunately I don't get to do much of the latter in London, but if the sun's out, you won't catch me indoors! I also love spending time with good people. drinking cocktails, watching the sun set and writing. 

3 FAVOURITE THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD DO IN LONDON?

Eat at Sushi Samba, run down the Thames and picnic at the viewpoint in Greenwich park (if you like a good view then you won't be disappointed).
