Do you travel light or heavy?

I say light, but I am sure my husband does not agree.

Cattle or first class?

Both, subject to finances.

What type of suitcase do you carry?

Shocking pink (on wheels).

What's always in your hand luggage?

Moisturiser and lip balm.

Are you a planner or last-minute packer?

Definitely a planner.

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

Shoes of course.

Favourite or most exciting airport to land in?

Singapore - I love flying in over the shipping traffic and the airport itself, whether in transit or stopping over is fantastic, it's well laid-out and with lots of shops and eating places.

Best packing tip?

Leave room for more shoe purchases.

Most memorable trip?

About five years ago on Singapore Airlines in business class on the airbus to London. Memorable as everything went so easily, no delays, very comfortable and it was a real privilege.

What do you do while on the plane?

Have a bloody Mary once the seatbelt sign is off, watch movies, sleep (sometimes) and always have a good book.
