Calling all frequent flyers! We’ve rounded up the best travel accessories to take you from terminal to tarmac and beyond.
Any flyer worth their status credits will know the right accessories can make all the difference to the enjoyment of a flight.
From essentials like noise-cancelling headphones to creature comforts like a neck pillow and your favourite hand cream, we've put together a list of must-haves from our retailers.
Whether you’ve forgotten a much-needed travel accessory or are due an upgrade, stock up on these.
For the traveller who likes to take a mid-flight kip
Are you one of those people who can nap anywhere? Are you already dozing off by the time the plane cabin pressurises? If this sounds like you, slip into your slumber faster by picking up a neck pillow from news@bne to support your head and avoid any unwanted interruptions.
For those who don’t fall into this boat plane and find the constant hum and roar of activity in the cabin a constant distraction, make haste to Gate 24 to find Tech2go to find all your favourite noise-cancelling headphones brands. Turn up your favourite podcast and tune out cabin noise and into your favourite way to relax.
Bright lights keeping you awake? Pull down the proverbial shades with a sleep mask from Peter Alexander. You’ll find their softly padded sleeping masks in store near Gate 38.
For the local lovers
Travellers who aren’t local to Brisbane can savour a taste of Brisbane before departing, why not enjoy a cleansing ale with the exclusive Brisbane Airport Tailwind Lager from Newstead Brewing Co? Taste the local difference of this 100% family owned and independent Brisbane brewer. For more places like this to enjoy a beer at Brisbane Airport, hop(ps) on over to this blog
For something a little sweeter, take yourself to gate 25 to New Farm Confectionery where you’ll find handmade treats like honeycomb, chocolate bark, nougat, loads of marshmallows and several other gourmet treats – perfect as a gift, or just something delicious for yourself.
For the trendsetter who likes to travel in comfort and style
When was the last time you upgraded your suitcase? There’s no time like the present with Samsonite in the Domestic Terminal. In store you’ll even find their ECO range which is made of textiles engineered from 100% recycled products - the travel accessory that keeps on giving back.
Has the weather turned since last checking the Bureau of Meteorology? Sounds like you might need a lightweight blazer from Witchery, Country Road or Seed Heritage to cover all weather options. You wouldn’t be the first person to use the weather as an excuse for some pre-flight retail therapy.
Travelling somewhere tropical and looking for an accessory that’s no load to carry? Don’t arrive without shades - pop into Sunglass Hut for top brands and exclusive styles.
For an instant pick-me-up, nourish your hands with a fragrant hand cream from Jo Malone London. Pro tip - if you’re shopping for a loved one, take it from us, a gift wrapped hand cream in their signature packaging is always a winner on the receiving end.
For those who like to wine and dine
Celebrate the great taste and range of Australian wines with a complimentary tasting at Wine Selectors next time you’re passing through. The airport cellar door offers complimentary tasting – the perfect way to get in the holiday mood.
Forget picking up souvenirs you won’t use, pay a visit to Bound where you’ll find a local gin and whisky wall with everything from Mount Uncle Distillery (Atherton Tablelands) to Beenleigh Distillery for the ultimate take home taste of the Sunshine State.
For frequent flyers who use flight time as brain-building time
Who said your self-care couldn’t take off too? Pick up one of the Top 50 fiction novels from Bound or news@bne and kick back and relax with one of the best airport reads. Your travel accessory will soon become the envy of other travellers who forgot to pack theirs.
For all of your favourite puzzle books, crosswords, sudukos and more, News Travels has your brain training sorted mid-flight.
