The airport is quite often the start of nearly every travel adventure and
because we're from Brisbane, Brisbane Airport is a home Airport and Matt and I
have so many good travel memories here I mean this is where I came all by myself
way back in 2008 when I was about to catch a flight to Paris for my first ever
overseas adventure all by myself this is also where we came as a brand new couple
and caught our flight to Bali for our first ever overseas trip and then quite
a few years later came to catch a flight to Singapore for our honeymoon
Brisbane Airport is also where we caught our flight to Singapore for
our first-ever press trip for Little Grey Box It was a huge day I just remember how
excited we were
for us, for everybody...
airports are a place of memories
Hey you guys Phoebe here from Little Grey Box
now today Matt and I are at Brisbane Airport which has been the starting
point of so many amazing travel adventures for both of us now as we all
know with any trip to the airport there is always that imaginary line at the
point of no return I like to call it that is when you realize you have
forgotten something and you have to do that really special kind of math to work
out whether or not you're gonna go back for it but never fear you guys because
airports have come a really long way since Matt and I first started travelling
and now they are decked out with absolutely everything and anything you could need
now we know that you can get some of your favorite essential items at the
airport should you forget them we're also on a hunt for those weird unique
cool unexpected things that you didn't know you could get at the airport if you
forget them and hey maybe create a few new travel memories in the process
okay so we all know that you can get your basics your essentials at Brisbane
Airport that includes things like deodorant shampoo conditioner hairspray
you can get a toothbrush toothpaste all those kinds of basics by did you know
you can get...
nail polish remover towelettes
I cannot tell you how many times I've gotten in the car and I looked down at my
fingernails and gone that is so ratty, my nail polish is so chipped it's so gross
but there's nothing I can do about it Can I even take nail polish remover on a plane?
Remover towelettes
mind blown
If you're the kind of person that likes to snack?
me
then you can come here the New Travels
and you can stock up on snacks as well and also got things like you
know you stop your ears popping by like sucking on a mint or Weather's Original
they've got you covered with those too. This is better than my local pharmacy
You know what I love that they've got?
Insect repellent I am a person that always
forgets to travel with insect repellent and then I find myself in Southeast Asia
getting eaten alive by mosquitoes wishing I had some Bushman
if you find yourself arriving at the airport and realize you forgot your mom
your sister your brother your Nana someone's present and you want to get
them something really unique you can come here it's drink time journey well
they've got all kinds of beautiful things like indigenous art works bags
beautiful de jure zoos they've got hand creams glasses cases absolutely
everything and anything I just want to show you guys something because I have
loved these for years now correct me if I'm wrong instead but
I believe that these particular ones are made by women
maybe it's the airport and realize you forgot your jerky stash they've got you
covered yeah at the Australian produce store
with a whole bunch of great Australian food including a selection of jerky do
you prefer to eat Inu - you prefer the crocodile I don't know what you're into
there are all kinds of yummy things in here they've got rocky road a whole
selection of chocolates full range of manuka honey and all those kinds of
things which make for really good gift ideas well even just a little taste of
home to take with you when you travel if you get to the airport and realize you
have forgotten an essential piece of clothing you are gonna want to come here
to the Billabong store they've got skirts they've got dresses they've got a
good another Australian word for you plugins t-shirts boy shorts swim its
songs aka sandals aka flip-flops I see you North America I know you feel weird
about the word thongs I'm saying it let's say you're going to Bali you're
going on a surfing trip you realize I didn't pack my spare leg ropes you guys
they've got you I've got a whole drawer full of them now if you get to the
airport and realize like I have seen that too
quite a few times that you have forgotten your belt you want to come
here to our M Williams now not only do they have belts and boots and hats they
also have all your clothing essentials so really nice shirts and shorts but
dinner they've got some really good thick heavy jackets which are gonna be
great for any kind of colder wet climate things I'm thinking New Zealand
Scotland's that kind of trip they were also ready sorted with a whole range of
jeans if you're heading somewhere cold and
realize you forgot some of your winter essentials and come right here it's a
merino collection so this is where you're going to pick up your beautiful
warmth Lisi layers beanies scarves hats I once went to New Zealand and I forgot
to pack my thermal socks and I would have probably done anything for a bear
things they've got an amazing selection of ugg boots they've got windbreakers
they've got everything and anything you need to stay warm and cozy in those cold
climates
obviously if you come down to Judah free you can get all of those duty-free Goods
on your makeup things like your face your foundation your concealer your
lipstick your nail polish but if he come here to kills you can also get all of
your beauty products so maybe you forgot your cleanser your toner that nighttime
moisturizer maybe a special serum something like that you can stock up on
folio luxurious skincare goodies write your kills Matt and I always forgetting
memory cards external hard drives USB six PowerPoint adapters all those
battery backup packs so if you get to the airport where's my laptop charger
you pick up another one here so it's always a good idea to have a little bit
of local currency for the destination you're visiting if you've forgotten to
do that do not worry because you can get money here out of these ATMs in a
different local currency if they don't have what you need you can go to the
exchanger and if you have a left home without your sunglasses don't worry you
can pop on into sunglass hardware you can get yourself a fresh pair of sunnies
and hey if you're traveling with little ones and realize they don't have any
sunglasses the word on the street here at the airport is you can get cute
sunglasses from news travels if you get to the airport and realize
you have forgotten to book your travel insurance never fear you can use the
airport's great quality free Wi-Fi to book your travel insurance online or you
can come here to flight center where they can sort you out with some great
travel insurance too so now the flight center shop is also a really good spot
if you need to pop in organize any last-minute to is maybe there's a
problem with your booking anything like that they'll be able to help you so this
is where we first caught our first ever business of us why we were so excited
you remember and we've got to go into the Singapore Airlines this is us lands
we worth like going up the escalator I think we were like five hours early for
the flight cuz you could get as much time in a flange as possible I remember
the feeling of coming back here after being away for what we thought was a
long time a couple of months or seven months or so and they're coming back
here and the awesome feeling of arriving back in your own Airport everything just
feels like home it's very casual it's very laid-back and a lot slower here in
Brisbane I remember what it was like before my first ever trip to Europe it
was a solo trip I had never traveled by myself I think I was 20 years old and I
was just terrified I was so afraid to go and
I was riding in my travel journal about how afraid I was sitting down at the
gate down there and just the panic just the sheer terror of being alone and not
knowing if I would actually survive now I just stroll in here real confident
like bag be coming through look out Brisbane Airport it's pretty cool that
your home airport becomes that constant interface and no matter how much it
changes no matter how much you change you will always have those memories so
now you know if some of our favorite home Airport memories are I would love
