UP YOUR IN-FLIGHT PRODUCTIVI­TY!

These onboard travel tips will have you getting through your to-do list

-

BEFORE YOU FLY... PLAN YOUR TASKS

Short-haul flights are ideal for simple tasks like clearing emails, organising folders or re-formatting documents, while long-haul flights allow you time to check off larger tasks. Plan accordingl­y, so do all your downloadin­g beforehand as in-flight wi-fi can be incredibly spotty and expensive.

INVEST IN A LIGHTWEIGH­T LAPTOP

Opt for a device that fits nicely on the tray table – and avoid your seatmate’s zone. The ASUS Zenbook Flip S is the world’s thinnest Intel Core I convertibl­e laptop, making it an ideal travel companion.

PACK A SMALL FLIGHT BAG

Fill it with all the essentials to avoid constantly standing up to rummage through your carry-on luggage. Pack your laptop, charger, notepad and pen in a bag small enough to tuck under the seat in front of you.

FULLY CHARGE YOUR BATTERIES!

If your plane isn’t fitted with individual power sockets, it’s best to be armed with fully charged battery life.

UP IN T HE AIR... BLOCK OUT SOUND

Before you get stuck into your tasks, block out background noise with a pair of headphones and your favourite concentrat­ion-inducing tracks.

PROTECT YOUR EYES

This is particular­ly important on a night flight when a bright screen will also make you unpopular with nearby passengers. Try using a computer with blue light reducing capabiliti­es and a backlit keyboard.
