30 must-have accessories for air travel

Air travel is all too often synonymous with discomfort and boredom… That’s why Generation Voyage has put together a list of the best accessories for better air travel!

When you’re heading to the airport for a long-haul flight, it’s usually for (very) good reasons! The excitement is palpable, the journey begins even before you’re seated on the plane, you’re in a hurry and anxious at the same time… Then comes the moment of departure: the plane accelerates, and you’re glued to the back of your seat. For the first few minutes, a glance out of the window is enough to fill us with wonder, but then… nothing.

You look at your watch, calculating how much time you have left before you land, with the sole occupation of trying to find a position a little more comfortable than the previous one…

That’s why Generation Voyage is now offering you a whole list of accessories that will totally transform your air travel experience! Whether it’s for you, your family or your friends, don’t hesitate to make your seat-mates (and even the stewards/air hostesses) jealous!
