The holidays, thank all that is good, are nearly upon us and we don’t know about you, but we’re minded to hop on a plane and go somewhere we can’t pronounce.

Holiday’s are great when you get there, but the getting there can be quite a feat, especially when long-haul flights are involved. Flying brings with its own unique set of challenges. Did I remember to take my nail scissors out of my handbag? Can I take my sleeping pills with wine? And, what if I need to fart?

It’s complicated, that last one. Farting on a plane is a challenge nearly all of us will one day face and, somehow, overcome.
