WHAT TO WEAR ON A LONG-HAUL FLIGHT

Long-haul flights call for ultra-comfort, the kind of clothes you can actually catch some Z's in on a night flight. In any case, super-soft styles are always a good idea. Airplanes can be notoriously chilly, so a cosy layered look will come in handy while serving 'off-duty model' as you're touring that duty-free.

Sweatshirts
, joggers, hoodies and chunky trainers are a go-to, and Topshop’s selection of relaxed fits and neutral washes are the ideal comfy-cool solutions. P.S. Just pop a bikini under your look for an easy plane-to-pool outfit.

Athleisure is one of the best moves you can make for nailing a comfy airport outfit, ESPECIALLY on a long-haul flight. So why not pair some of our ASOS DESIGN leggings with your fave sports bra and an oversized sweatshirt for that Hailey Bieber-inspired look? Just add some chunky socks, Birkenstock sandals and a sporty cap (so you don't need to worry about doing your hair) for an equal-parts-cosy and stylish finish.

WHAT TO WEAR ON A SHORT-HAUL FLIGHT

European break on the horizon? Land a runway-to-bar look in a co-ord by our very own ASOS DESIGN. Just think of all that precious OOO time you'll save not thinking about what to wear. Opt for sets in lightweight fabrics and rich sunset hues or pastel tones to really hit those summer-style highs.

For the best plane-to-plan looks, we recommend sandals and an easy-to-carry cardigan (because obviously, we refuse to let plane air con win). If you want a more hands-free approach, invest in a decent-sized tote bag and stash it in there with the rest of your essentials (more on them below) and you'll be giving new meaning to the phrase 'walking the runway'.

WHAT TO PACK IN YOUR HAND LUGGAGE

No matter how long your journey is, the right plane essentials can help turn your flight into a stress-free self-care sesh. Travel-sized skincare, fragrances and makeup are the perfect way to keep you looking and smelling fresh while en route.

Also, if your flight is a little longer, use the time to apply a quick rehydrating face mask or deal with those tired eyes with some soothing and brightening under-eye patches – the ideal use of all that extra time.

Most importantly, if you're heading somewhere hot, make sure you pack some products in your hand luggage that feature built-in SPF protection. Eborian's Skin Perfector CC Cream acts as both a tint and skin-corrector while protecting from UV rays.

For products that just smell really good, we love the Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Jet Set ft. the iconic Cheirosa 62 (trust us, you’ll be everyone’s airport crush). If you need a last-minute touch-up upon landing, Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk Push-Up Mascara will give your lashes a sky-high finish. Tuck all the above inside one of the many Cabin Max airline-approved travel bags and you're good to go. Now, it’s time to set our status to: DND…
