I’ve been flying long-haul my whole life – here’s an 80p travel item I swear by
A FREQUENT flyer has shared an 80p item that she swears by for long-haul travel.
The multi-purpose product can help keep you fresh during lengthy flights and even be used in the bathroom.
Writing for Real Simple, Euna Park listed some of her bare necessities for continent hopping.
She said: “I’ve been travelling to Asia since I was a toddler, so 15+ hour long-haul flights feel like nothing to me anymore.
“Now as an adult with over 25 years of international travelling under my belt, I’ve honed down my routine.
“While I can’t promise that you won’t lose your luggage or your flight won’t be delayed, I can help prepare you to get through what could be an uncomfortably long day to be pretty pleasant.”
One of Euna’s top picks was a pack of Stall Mates Wet Wipes.
The bundle, which contains 30 individually wrapped wipes, can be used as a substitute for loo roll and is especially useful for often poorly-stocked public loos.
And if you’re travelling to a country where toilet paper isn’t the norm, they can be a real lifesaver in a pinch.
The wipes are plant-based and contain no added alcohol, paraben or fragrance.
Key ingredients include cucumber, chamomile and aloe for a soothing scent and gentle feel.
With a hypoallergenic formula, they’re great for sensitive skin too.
And, unlike standard wet wipes, they can be flushed down the loo without causing blockages or damaging the environment.
You can pick up a pack of 30 on Amazon for just £24.46, working out at 82p per wipe.
Prime members can take advantage of free next-day delivery so you can be prepared even for last-minute flights.
Online reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with a 94% four or five star rating.
One commenter wrote: “Such a great and practical tool to keep clean while in public and your bum doesn’t burn from use or chemicals as it’s natural.
“[You’ll] never want to revert back to plain toilet paper.”
Another added: “They are perfect.
“Soft, durable, non-irritating, and thick enough not to fall apart during use.
“They’re definitely more convenient than a tub of wipes.”
It comes after holidaymakers were warned over a new hotel scam targeting their keycards after they check out as one couple was left £600 out of pocket.
