BULA FIJI! Travelling to Fiji now has a new sense of luxury, with Fiji Airways recently taking delivery of two new Airbus A350 XWB aircraft, called Island of Viti Levu and Island of Vanua Levu. The planes’ cabins are among the quietest in the world, with 33 lie-flat beds in the business cabin and 301 comfortable economy seats. Within the economy cabin is a zone called Bula Space – the first few rows have extra legroom for additional comfort. Visit fijiairways.com for information.

STICK IT OUT Collagen is responsible for several functions in our bodies – it supports connective tissue, muscle and skin, and helps skin elasticity and joint and bone health. To give you a collagen boost when you’re on the move, check out Jeuneora’s Naked+Detox Travel Sticks. They contain only three ingredients – the brand’s popular hydrolysed marine collagen; zeolite, which will help you detox after overindulging on your holiday; plus a concentrated dose of vitamin C. The sticks can only be used in cold drinks as heat will destroy the vitamin C. Try a stick in your favourite cold summer drink. Find out more at jeuneora.co.nz.
