Airlines and graces:
right now, the perks of
turning left are all about
the in-flight vanitiesBy LILY WORCESTERDame Joan Collins
learnt the hard way
that in-flight skincare
can be a tricky business
when, entering the US, she was
held up in customs and questioned
for failing to produce a readable
fingerprint. Why? Because, as she
told Tatler, she had moisturised her
hands to such a degree that the
scanner could not detect a finger-
print. Security faux-pas aside, jet-set
skin will outlast any layover. Here
are the cabin kits to help you
attain a picture-perfect arrival.BRITISH AIRWAYS
