Wearing jeans on a long flight may not seem like the best idea, but these pants are made with Duer’s unique fabric blend of cotton, polyester, and Lycra. This makes them stretchier than regular denim enabling greater range of motion—plus they’re more breathable and moisture-wicking. |

TIP 2: BE MORE EFFICIENT
WITH YOUR GEAR | | |
Keep items you need close at hand without having to deal with bulky luggage. | | |
| |

This bag opens all the way through like a suitcase for easy access and has zippered pockets on each side for organizing essentials. It’s also comfortable to wear, thanks to the padded straps and a stowable harness system that helps distribute weight away from the shoulders and onto the hips. |

We love the multiple internal pockets, laptop sleeve (up to 14 inches), and removable vanity kit on this everyday tote. The sides open to accommodate taller items like a water bottle and the trolley sleeve easily fits onto a suitcase handle. |

Instead of putting everything into one large bag, we like stowing our things in a tech pouch. This one has pockets to keep everything separate—cables, chargers, ear plugs, medications—and easily accessible. |

TIP 3: VARY YOUR ENTERTAINMENT AND REST YOUR EYES | | |
Watching TV monitors continuously for too long can disrupt your
sleep patterns. Make sure to board your plane with options,
from paperbacks to music to podcasts. | | |

This is a handy little gadget for anyone who wants to use wireless headphones or AirPods with devices that don’'t have Bluetooth, like airplane entertainment systems. It’s compact and easy to carry around. Setup is a breeze—just plug it into the headphone jack, pair it with your headphones, and you’'re good
to go. |

A power bank is an easy way to keep all your devices charged during long flights. They help you stay connected and entertained, without having to search for outlets around your seat, especially if you plan to use multiple devices. |

Long-haul flights can disrupt your circadian rhythm, resulting in jet lag. This sleep mask can help you get some shut-eye on your flight. It’s designed to block 100 percent of light, with deep, adjustable eyecups that don’t press down on your eyes. It’s also made with soft, breathable materials that don’t feel heavy on your face. |

TIP 4: BRING THE RIGHT SHOES | | |
Most of us agree that removing your shoes during a flight is poor etiquette.
But you can wear lightweight, breathable shoes with cushy padding
to keep your tootsies comfortable. | | |

These unisex shoes have a cushioned footbed and a quilted upper that help keep feet warm. They also have a collapsible heel so they’re easy to slip on without using your hands. We especially appreciate the peppermint-based anti-odor treatment, which can help when feet get too hot. |

Airplane cabins have low humidity, which can cause dehydration, headaches, fatigue, and itchy skin. On long flights, make sure to bring along skincare essentials like moisturizers and facial cleansing wipes. | | |
