The full kit: 12 things I've seen AirAsia crews pull from their pockets during monsoon season
12
items Okay, real talk? I've been flying since I was a kid - family holidays, uni trips, you name it. Last year during a crazy monsoon delay at KLIA, I got chatting with this super nice AirAsia auntie who'd been flying for like 15 years. She saw me struggli...
This little blue tub? The AirAsia auntie pressed it into my hand at KLIA last monsoon season and said, 'Keep this in your pocket always, dik.' I laughed until I used it on a 6-hour KL-Phuket flight when the AC turned my skin into cracked leather. Now...
Aquaphor Healing Ointment
This little jar? The AirAsia senior cabin crew member I met during that crazy 3AM KL-Phuket flight last monsoon season saw me biting my dry lips and whispered, 'Dik, we all keep one of these in our flight bags - the berry one's my favorite but they c...
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate
During a delayed flight at KLIA last month (yes, another monsoon mess), I got talking with this senior AirAsia purser while we waited for the rain to clear. She looked surprisingly fresh despite what must've been a brutal 12-hour shift. When I asked ...
Cool Ginzing Brightening Eye Cream - Origins
Still stuck at that KLIA gate with the senior AirAsia purser during the delayed flight, I noticed her skin looked surprisingly fresh despite the brutal 12-hour shift. When I asked how she managed it, she pulled out this Shiseido tube from her uniform...
Shiseido Perfect Hydrating BB Cream
This tiny gold bottle? Also from AirAsia senior cabin crew auntie last year - humidity was through the roof and everyone's hair was going crazy, but hers looked perfectly smooth. She caught me staring at my frizzy mess and chuckled, 'Dik, this is our...
Moroccanoil Treatment
This plain white tub? Honestly, I almost laughed when this AirAsia crew auntie pulled it out during a crazy humid flight from KL to Langkawi last monsoon. My skin was itching like mad from the cabin AC, and she just handed it to me saying, 'Try this,...
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
Okay, this one's actually funny - I was waiting for my brother at KLIA two year back (he was flying back from his studies), and I got chatting with this super nice AirAsia crew member who was on her break. She saw me nervously wiping my hands on my s...
Burt's Bees Baby Unscented Face & Hand Cloths
This silky mask? I actually saw it during a family trip to visit some relative in Penang. My friend works as ground staff at Penang airport and introduced me to her AirAsia friend who was on a layover. While we were chatting at this little mamak stal...
Dream Essentials Aromatherapy Sleep Mask
This tiny flat iron? I was at a friend's wedding in KL last year when I met this AirAsia cabin crew member during the reception. She was complaining about how hard it is to look presentable after long flights, and showed me this palm-sized iron she k...
BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Mini Flat Iron
These compression socks? I actually met this AirAsia crew member at a mamak stall during Ramadan last year - we were both waiting out a downpour. She had these funny-looking socks with little pockets on the sides and caught me staring. 'Dik, these ar...
Compression Socks (with hidden skincare pockets)
Still sitting at that same mamak stall with the crew member who showed me those clever compression socks, she suddenly pulled out this little rectangular box from her bag. 'Oh and this!' she said, placing it next to her teh tarik. 'After two years of...
Portable UV Phone Sanitizer
Sitting at that same mamak stall with the AirAsia crew member who showed me the compression socks and UV sanitizer, she suddenly pulled out a small pouch from her bag. 'Oh, and you must try this,' she said, tearing open a Kopiko sachet and mixing it ...
