WALKING ON AIR
Comfort is key when you trek from one end of the terminal to the other.
This is where Cariuma trainers come in, designed with mamona oil and cork insoles, promising an incredibly comfortable fit.
The shoes come in various colours from simple white to brighter yellows, pinks and even leopard-print.

ULTRA LIGHT
Above, our model wears Cariuma trainers (£79), Farringdon Pink Taslonbag (£39.95), Chinti & Parker tracksuit (joggers, £95, and jumper, £95) and July’s Carry On Light suitcase (£225)
With baggage restrictions tighter than ever, the chore of packing has never been more tedious.
So a good suitcase is crucial and July’s Carry On Light promises to be the lightest double wheel suitcase in the world.
It comes in a range of bright colours and add-ons include a power bank.
Details: From £225, July.com/uk.
TREES OF LIFE
Give the gift of art with a print by Lindy Branson, Sir Richard’s sister
Lindy Branson, Sir Richard’s artist sister, has fallen in love with olive trees.
Her gorgeous prints (some of which have pride of place in her brother’s Son Bunyola hotel in Majorca) are now available in a variety of sizes from £120 and make for the perfect Christmas present.

COMFY AND CHIC
The days of travelling in tailored suits, dresses and heels have long gone.
The likes of footballer Erling Haaland and the actor Sophie Turner think it’s fine to wear pyjamas on a flight.
We think comfort and style don’t have to be mutually exclusive, as evidenced with Chinti & Parker’s cashmere tracksuit, which is available at Marks & Spencer in a variety of colours.
Details: Joggers, £95, and jumper, £95, at marksandspencer.com.
