Here at MyBag, we love to travel. We’re constantly reading travel blogs – lusting over the sandy beaches, dramatic cityscapes and rustic countryside our planet has to offer – all the while planning our next trip away…

Sleep
Whether you’re flying at night or during the day, having a nap is the best way to halve your perceived travel time. Admittedly, snoozing in a seatbelt isn’t the comfiest, but there are some ways to make the most of your journey; pack an eye-mask in your carry-on, and, if you’re really in for the long-haul, a robe or blanket you can snuggle down in. (Scratchy aeroplane blankets? No thanks.) A specialist pillow will prevent you getting a cricked neck, and it may be worth avoiding caffeine before boarding: embrace the early morning drowsiness!
