What Krsna Mehta can't travel without...

Here are the travel essentials of product designer Krsna Mehta

While travelling, it is always a business class, window seat between row 4 and 8 for me. I prefer staying in beautiful places such as the Anandas, or the Four Seasons in Thailand, or even a palace hotel in India. I also love a chauffeured drive around the place I am visiting. Paris, San Francisco and Hong Kong are my all-time favourite destinations. I am a very organised packer and leave with meticulously ironed shirts and my papers, forex, passport arranged neatly in my travel bags. Although when I return, things are always in a royal mess. I shop for clothes and stuff for my home wherever I go.

At the airport, it is always a spot of last-minute shopping for red meat or chocolates or perfumes, and then chilling at the lounge with coffee or champagne. I find the mint-new lounge at the Istanbul Airport brilliant.
I always dress up casually whiletravelling. Comfort is vital for me. Apart from that, I always carry a few formal shirts in black, a polo t-shirt and linen jackets. My Kenzo overcoat, too, if the destination spells chill.
