When you're embarking on a long-haul flight from Los Angeles to London, there are several experiences to prepare for. From security checkpoints to terminal navigation, your style can make all the difference in ensuring a comfortable and stress-free trip even before boarding the plane. Check out a few fashion-conscious tips for making travel easier, your flight Instagram-worthy, and how the Air New Zealand experience can make all the difference.

Minimize Your Jewelry
Coco Chanel once said that before you walk out the door, take one accessory off. We recommend taking as much off and keeping it simple (i.e. a pair of earrings, or necklace and bracelet combo). Not only will you look minimalist-chic, but you'll also make it through the airport metal detectors faster.

Muting the Noise
Headphones are an essential accessory in order to create a serene space of silence wherever you may be. Over-the-ear-headphones (noise-canceling, or audio-noise-canceling) offer instant relief from the ambient chatter of airport terminals and engine noise while in-flight. And if you forgot your headphones at home, fetch a pair from the front of the award-winning Economy Skycouch, Premium Economy Spaceseat and Business Premier seats on Air New Zealand.

Layer Smart
Sometimes your journey takes you from one climate to another. Prepare for all changes in weather by wearing appropriate layers that you can remove or add on. We recommend comfortable leggings, a simple loose-fitting tee, cozy sweaters and lightweight, insulated jackets that can be easily folded to fit within a carry-on.

Black Is the New Black
Black is superchic and effortless to accessorize. Keep to a simple black palette while traveling to look like an off-duty model. Then pair with a statement touch of bold lipstick for a runway-ready look.

Invest in a Backpack
Since you're limited to one carry-on, make your space count. Invest in a sturdy, quality backpack, such as one made of black leather or waxed canvas. Not only will that match almost any outfit, but you can also fit all of your make-up, passport and ID, money, magazines, snacks and more in one easy-to-tote bag.
