TIME Style & Design "Jetsetters"

Time.com has interviewed 12 fairly
well known jet setters and asked their opinions and tips for jet
lag, places they will not revisit again, travel companions, favorite
cities, packing tips, airport suggestions and much more. Each "jet
setter" also lists some of their favorite travel items.
Superstar tennis pro Maria Sharapova says her favorite carry on item
is her phone charger, because "...if my bags get lost, I would be
more upset about losing my phone battery than my new pair of Manolos"
(Manolo Blahnik - stylish footwear).
Antoine Arnault, the head of communications for Louis Vuitton is a
world jet setter and travels all over the world, especially to Asia.
He speaks about the following travel annoyances:
Airport etiquette: "I'm not the biggest fan of airports. I try to
arrive a few minutes before check-in closes. (And I've still never
missed a flight!) If I'm early, I see how our brands and competitors
are doing. Paris has quite a good airport now. London is the
worst; it's too far away."
Jet-lag remedy: "If I arrive late at night and have to sleep, I spend an
hour at the spa, get a relaxing massage and have a light meal. If I arrive
early in the morning and have to go straight to meetings, I have vitamin C,
coffee and Diet Coke." |
Diane Von Furstenberg, a Fashion Designer is on the road a lot. As a result,
she has some helpful insights to offer regarding travel, including the one
axiom at Dave's Travel Corner that we hold dear, "travel light"!
In my carry-on: "Camera, computer, colored pencils and a notebook, makeup
and a cashmere blanket. I always have my camera with me because inspiration
is everywhere."
Packing tip: "Travel light, very light, and take things that can work in
many ways. When you figure out how to pack lightly, you figure out how to
live lightly."
