Do you travel light or heavy?

Light, and even then I take too much.

Cattle or first class?

Business Class, fortunately.

What type of suitcase do you carry?

A black one, which is a huge mistake... do you know how many black suitcases there are out there?

What's always in your hand luggage?

My headphones and a small cross I purchased in Camden markets many years ago.

Are you a planner or last-minute packer?

A planner, to the point it drives my wife a bit mad.

What's the best thing you've brought back from a trip?

Definitely toys for the kids. They are always excited to see me, but it's the toys they're after really...

Favourite or most exciting airport to land in?

London Heathrow because it's exciting to land, but hell to exit. And Auckland always because it means I'm coming home...

Best packing tip?

Turn suit jackets inside out as they don't seem to crease as badly, and take as little as possible.

Most memorable trip?

My wife and I travelling to Toulouse from London. Two of our friends missed the plane and we ended up with tonnes of room on a packed plane.

What do you do while on the plane?

Listen to my iPod, then I sleep for as long as humanly possible, and then sleep some more...
