Here’s how to give yourself the ultimate VIP travel treatment:
1. Pick up an airport lounge pass and avoid the carnage.
Mingle with the jet-set by grabbing yourself a single-entry lounge pass, which will usually set you back somewhere around $50–$80 (worth every cent). It’s a LUSH way to chill-out before your flight, in comfort and without the stress of the crowds. Also, if you’re in the market for a new credit card, find out which ones offer lounge entry (arguably one of the best perks!), or check the ones you’ve got in case you already have it!
4. Pack your own deluxe snack box with gourmet treats.
Aeroplane meals don’t exactly scream refinement, but there are ways to work around this. (Those cheap bread rolls will not bring you down, friends. They will not). Take on board your own gourmet bento-style box, with fresh, refined finger foods that feel like a little taste of holiday grazing — and go well with bubbles. Think mixed berries; roasted nuts, wasabi peas and salted crackers; fresh veggies and sliced, crusty bread. As long as you don’t have any liquids over 100ml (please, leave the soup at home…), you won’t have any issues getting through airport security with your treats.
8. Wear noise-canceling earphones to properly zen out.
Unless you’re flying first-class, you’re gonna want to zone out MOST of what’s around you. And to do that you’ll need the very best noise-cancelling earphones you can lay your hands on (borrow a friend’s if you don’t have your own, or check out our top picks here!). Pack them, wear them and then whack up the volume to some spine-tingling pieces of classical music, in and amongst a soothing zen playlist. Don’t forget to book your Uber Reserve ride for your next getaway! With options for every budget and situation, you can choose the ride that best suits your needs — and enjoy travelling without the stress. Find out more.
