I’m about to start packing for my first long-haul flights in nearly seven years, and I’m not going to lie - I’m very excited. And when I say long haul, I mean LONG - one of the longest flights in the world, to one of my all-time favourite cities (eeek!). I’ve definitely written a version of this post many years ago, but this is an updated 2026 edition, refreshed with everything I actually pack now after years of travel experience.
