About Seatback Notes

Seatback Notes is the travel reading you wish you had found in the seat pocket: quick, useful and occasionally surprising.

We publish bite-size guides on flights, cruises, packing and places worth the detour. Every piece is written to be read in the time it takes to taxi to the runway.

We are an independent team spread across three time zones, which means someone is always jet-lagged and always writing.
