In excess

Text Tabitha Lasley

From bags to books, load up with these pint-sized must haves before you board…

Redfoot After Party Shoe

€31 These sweet little flats with a split sole can be folded up and stowed in your handbag. Perfect for the end of a night out or if you want to follow the Victoria

Beckham model of inflight dressing (ie: sailing through customs on four inch heels, then slipping into schleppy clothes once you’re in the air). www.redfootrevolution.co.uk

LUXE CITY GUIDES

Luxe’s pocket sized city guides are slim enough to squeeze into your hand luggage, but no less comprehensive for it. Presumably what happens when you take a travel guide, cut out all the extraneous details and concentrate on the good stuff. www.luxecityguides.com

€6,25

VISTILO LAPTOP BAG

Cunningly disguised as a not-too-shabby-looking handbag, Vistilo’s laptop case is deceptively roomy, with loads of extra pockets. Meaning you can stash a few (small) sundries in it, and just carry one bag on with you. www.vistilo.com

€279

Amanda Lacey Illuminating Eye Gel

Dry cabin air can play havoc with your skin – supermodel Erin O’Connor admits to covering her face in Vaseline before she flies anywhere. Just because your make-up bag’s checked, it doesn’t mean you should slack off on the hydration front. Amanda Lacey’s eye gel is enriched with arnica and rose and comes in at a flight-friendly 30ml.

CLARINS EXTRA-FIRMING LIP & CONTOUR BALM

Like the skin round your eyes, your lips are notably lacking in sebaceous glands, which means they’ll dry out as soon as you step on board. Prevention being better than the cure, carry on Clarins’ diminutive pot of lip cream, fortified with shea butter and raspberry seed oil. www.clarins.com
