22 NEW ROUTE: KUWA IT CIT Y
JAZEERA AIRWAYS WAS ABOUT TO LAUNCH daily flights from London Gatwick to Kuwait City as we went to press, using an A320 neo. Te capital of Kuwait, which derives its name from the Arabic for “fort”, is located on the northern shore of the Arabian Gulf. Shaped by the discovery of oil in 1938, the country has also since flourished in the financial and construction sectors. Amidst the city’s modern high- rises lie historical landmarks such as the Grand Mosque and waterfront Seif Palace. But if you plan to go out sightseeing, note that this is one of the hottest spots on Earth – during a heatwave this summer, temperatures reached 52oC in the shade (63oC in the sun). Jazeera provides onward connections including Dubai, Doha and Delhi.

WHATEVER CLASS YOU FLY IN, an eye mask can help you to sleep. While you might be provided with one by the airline, few are of good quality or particularly comfortable. If you want to make an investment, try the Simba Graphene eye mask. Moulded to your face, it does a great job of blocking out all light, and also has a novel feature in that you can plug it into a USB socket and choose from three temperatures to give you a cosy feeling. Simba, known for its mattresses, also offers a travel pillow if you have room in your hand luggage. Eye mask £40; travel pillow £60.
