Pack correctly
The iPad Air is a fantastic tool to have on the go because of its thin and light design. And don’t forget to use the Freeform app on the device because it can help you collaborate with everyone on the trip. You have made a restaurant reservation for lunch? Sure, let the others know about it. Or allow your uncle know that he is allergic to prawns by adding to the list. There is another device that will also interest you — the iPad Mini, which is perfect for gaming, reading and watching content.
Next up, AirPods Pro (2nd generation), which has personalised Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking to place sounds all around you to create a three-dimensional listening experience, while Adaptive EQ automatically tunes music to your ears. A personal favourite: plug them in, turn on ANC and turn off the music while flying anywhere — all the noise around you disappears.
AirTag is also a very helpful device to have. Attach one to your keys. Put another in your luggage. And just like that, they’re on your radar in the Find My app. Thanks to Ultra Wideband technology, your iPhone can lead you straight to your items with Precision Finding.
Make use of the Apple Wallet, which is a contactless way to access and use your credit or debit card, transit cards, boarding passes, hotel keys, resort passes, event tickets, rewards cards and more — all on your iPhone or Apple Watch.
Pack smart with the MagSafe Battery Pack, which has a compact design that makes on-the-go charging easy and magnets to keep it attached to your iPhone, providing safe and reliable wireless charging. It also automatically charges, so there’s no need to turn it on or off, and there’s no interference with your credit cards or key fobs either.
Get into vacation mode
A fantastic feature on Apple devices is Focus mode. You can customise one of the provided Focus options. You can use Focus to temporarily silence all notifications, or allow only specific notifications — ones from friends and family, for example — and let other people and apps know you’re busy. Get your mind vacation ready and relaxed with the Mindfulness app on Apple Watch (Breathe, Reflect and take a moment for yourself with AirPods Pro) during your flight.
If it is battery life you are worried about because you will take a long day trip, pack the lightweight iPhone 14 Plus, which offers a larger 6.7-inch display and the longest battery life of any iPhone ever — perfect for long days exploring, as well as streaming content on long flights and train rides.

Capture every moment with iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max thanks to an advanced triple-camera system for pro-level photos and videos. And, the new front TrueDepth camera automatically focuses on multiple subjects for sharper close-ups and beautiful group selfies.
The Compass app on Apple Watch was redesigned recently and it helps you explore new locations, and you can mark points of interest with Waypoints and use Backtrack to return to your starting point.
Off-road adventurers can have peace of mind with Emergency SOS via satellite, which enables iPhone 14 users to message with emergency services while outside of cellular and Wi-Fi coverage in Austria, Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, the UK, and the US.
