Flight attendant reveals the unusual item they always pack that stops them getting ill on holiday

A FLIGHT attendant has revealed the unusual item they always pack that stops them getting ill on holiday.

Cathay Pacific worker Simon Wu always takes a £13 portable humifidier with him on long-haul trips.

The gadget helps your body recover from the hours spent in the ear-popping pressure of the plane cabin.

Simon told : "I absolutely need a humidifier for my skin after a long plane ride."

The plug-in humidifier uses tap water and has a working time of up to 12 hours.

It comes in a range of stylish colours and is the size and weight of a Coke can - easily fitting into your luggage.

The gizmo hardly makes any noise, so it will not keep you up when you are battling jet lag.

Another flight attendant said: "This has saved me on many layovers in dry hotel rooms.

"I don’t wake up feeling sick anymore - and it definitely is super quiet and lasts me all night."

You can pick up a portable 500ml mini humidifier for just £13 from the Amazon website.

An ex-flight attendant has revealed why he never sleeps on planes when going on holiday - and why you shouldn't either.

A bizarre packing hack is dividing holidaymakers - and it involves a coathanger.

And a little-known flight takes you around the world in 21 days - with private chefs and all-inclusive food.
