Whether she’s hitting a tropical beach (lucky), cruising around a city or hopping on a plane with carry-on luggage only, Una Foden has packing skills nailed...

Beach - Destination: Barbados

Ideal hol buddy: “I’d take Ben [Una’s hubby] because we don’t get to go on many holidays together and this would be romantic.”

Inside my case: “I tend to wear flats on beach holidays. I take heels but never end up wearing them! And aviators. I sometimes wear flared trousers at night to avoid mozzy bites. I like to tan my belly so I’ll always choose a bikini. Last year on holiday I was pregnant but nobody knew so I had to stay in the shade!”

On the beach: “I like a good beach read. Marion Keyes is one of my faves. And always a proper book, never a Kindle. Sun protection is a must. I like the Garnier spray, it’s easy to apply and light.”

Carry-on – Destination: Ibiza

Inside my case: “You have to pack so carefully because of case restrictions! Get a good carry-on bag. You can’t go wrong with a LBD. It looks glamorous in the evening with a little leather jacket but works for in the day with sandals.”

Hol hack: “I always decant my fave products into little bottles. I don’t want the full sized ones to be taken away from me at check-in!”

Airport haul: “I always get perfume from the Duty Free, it’s a tradition of mine. I love Midnight Rain by La Prairie and Avon’s Luck.”

City break – Destination: New York

Why NYC: “I walk everywhere in New York. It’s such a good place to shop!”

Inside my case: “I’m living my Birkenstocks at the moment and I know they’re fashionable because I saw David Beckham wear them! I’d probably go for a heel at nighttime with skinny jeans and a cami tops. Nothing OTT, just classic pieces.”

Beauty bag: “I like to keep my skin hydrated on a long haul flight. I’ve actually got a lovely moisturiser from Avon. It’s summer; I don’t wear heavy foundation so I wear a BB cream with SPF. Clinique do a really nice chubby stick, which is moisturising. There’s one called Raisin, it’s such a nice colour.”

The gorgeous mum-of-two has plenty of experience packing and flying around the world thanks to her hectic schedule with The Saturdays. Una is also currently the face of Fly Cadbury Air, a new private jet, and was the first to fly on the fancy plane.

The star said of the flight, “I’ve been on board the Cadbury air jet - and I guarantee whoever wins this competition is going to be in for a treat from the word go! I’ve spent lots of time of planes over the last few years, but this is definitely the funnest way to travel!"

As part of the Fly Cadbury Air promotion one winner and a lucky friend will enjoy a weekend jam-packed with joy. The sky’s the limit with activities including segwaying around Berlin, racing on the famous Monaco Grand Prix, electric biking through the ancient street of Rome, boarding a dune buggy in Marrakech or even hot air ballooning around Catalonia* ensuring something for any chocolate-lover to enjoy. The five trips up for grabs are inspired by five of Cadbury’s best-selling bars; Twirl, Double Decker, Wispa, Crunchie and Cadbury Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations.
