Selfie Stick
"One of my favourite gadgets these days is my Yoozon selfie stick. On most of my trips I'm alone, discovering and capturing amazing photographs for my Instagram. It's also a tripod and has a wireless remote built into its compact design. It fits into my back pocket and has really improved my travel photography." ― Jay Robert, flight attendant and creator of Fly Guy
Moisturiser
"Flying dries you out like a raisin. I need to be better about drinking more water, but I do rely heavily on moisturiser and apply it at least two times a day." ― Melissa, a flight attendant with American Airlines
Airborne
"I always have Airborne with me, especially during flu season — so we, as flight attendants, can stay healthy and continue delivering excellent customer service." ― Angelina Perez, a flight attendant with Delta
