KEY POINTS:
Do you travel light or heavy?
As heavy as I can, as long as everything has wheels on it. I even have a carry-on bag with wheels because a laptop in a shoulder strap-type satchel gets pretty heavy, pretty quick.
Cattle or first class?
I dream of first class, business class would be just as good but the closest I got was being upgraded to "premium economy" on British Airways - when they say "premium" they mean not as horrific as standard.
I can't travel without ...
Some form of pillow.
What type of luggage do you carry?
I'm not a branded luggage kind of guy but I have a big silver hard case spaceship-looking bag ... with wheels on it, of course.
What's always in your hand luggage?
My laptop, iPod (been replaced with an iPhone) and my Moleskine journal (turns out I'm more of a branded journal kind of guy).
Planner or last-minute packer?
I have a packing list saved on my laptop and usually just use that the night before.
What's the best thing you've brought back from a trip?
Our first and third completed albums.
Favourite airport to land in?
Krakow in Poland because we did a "we're landing, we're landing ... oh no abort, we are not landing at all ... we're flying back into the air at the very last minute" landing.
Best travel tip?
Thailand with my wife, Sarah, a couple of years ago. It was our honeymoon and we had no email, cellphones or any contact with normal life for two weeks. Gold.
Most memorable trip?
When I was 21, I toured around Eastern Europe with a band called Elephant. We were there for six months, mainly in Poland, until I broke my back in a car accident. I lay down for about a month then came home.
What do you do while on the plane?
I wait until the food arrives, then take a sleeping pill and wake up in an exotic place.
