If flying feels overwhelming, exhausting, or like you're starting from scratch every single trip — this episode is for you.

This week I'm joined by Phoenyx from Phoenyx Travels — a content creator and accessible travel expert who has built a reputation for honest, practical advice for disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent and sensory-sensitive travellers. We're talking about her Flight Ready Travel Kit and everything she's learned about making air travel genuinely work for people whose bodies and brains don't follow the usual rules.

This is part 4 of our special 4-part travel creator series — and this one might just be the most important episode of the four.


In this episode: 

✈️ Why most accessible travel advice doesn't actually help on real travel days 

🧳 What the Flight Ready Travel Kit covers and who it's designed for 

🗣️ How to ask for accommodations — even when words or energy are limited 

⚡ How to pace your energy before, during and after a flight 

🔄 Why having a repeatable system changes everything
