I was an international Flight Attendant for 30 years, and I could not have made a better list! Thank you, I wish ALL of my passengers had been so prepared. Yes, video screens break, luggage is lost and spills happen. Bravo.
Thank you! I really appreciate the positive feedback. Cheers!
@@AlexgoesCoconuts And I so appreciate a traveler who knows the difference between "stopover" and "layover"!
@@delanaria268 ;)
Please can I take a liquid herbs on a long flight or what the size of liquid I can take or is there a way I can pack them inside my luggage??
I may have missed you saying this, but I keep my spare clothes in one of those plastic grocery bags. Then, if I have spilled anything sticky I put the soiled clothes in the plastic bag which protects anything else from getting sticky as well. Somehow if it’s juice or soda it always ends up on me. LOL. EXCELLENT video! Thanks for the tips.
That is such a good idea. I never thought about that. Thanks for sharing!
I bring a few of those. They're great for packing shoes that might have gotten a little dirty, damp swimsuits, jewelry you don't want scuffed up, undergarments, etc.
1. An accessible bag
2. Passport/Pen holder
3. Ipad(s)
4. Phone
5. Chargers/External battery Pack
6. Travel Grids
7. Prescription Glasses
8. Sun Glasses
9. Wet Wipes
10. Stain Removers
11. Cleanex
12. Lip Gloss
13. Medication
14. Makeup Remover
15. Hydrating Spray
16. Ziploc bags
17. Toiletries (toothpaste,toothpaste,mouthwash)

Red Fire omg thank you ☺️
Red Fire face mask??
Alot but thanks
Red Fire thanks 🙏
Red Fire thx
I’ve watched dozens of packing videos, and you are the first person who has laid out a practical carry-on list. My essentials are identical to yours, including packing a change of clothes! Well done.
Awe, thank you! Appreciate the feedback!
I thought it gets cold on the plane?
@@BarbaraRattee for me it varies every time. I plan for it to be hot and/or cold. I dress in layers so I can take off a top shirt if it's warm and I have an extra shirt or a light jacket, depending on where I'm headed, that I can put on if it's chilly. Some times I need both in the same flight if it's a long one. I haven't done the Asia trips like Alex but 9 or 13 hrs to and from Europe is plenty of time for them to make sure you're miserable on a flight :)
Layering is best and taking extra scarf that doubles up as a blanket is good. I put my extra clothes in a ziploc bag. Great tips. Very detailed.
@@BarbaraRattee cabin crew can adjust the cabin temps accordingly
Great tips. I also pack a small disposable LED flashlight for when the cabin is dark but you need to find something in your bag or if you drop something on the floor and have to search. I drop everything. It's less intrusive on your neighbors, and overhead lights don't always illuminate where light is needed. Game changer! Also, I bring sleepwear and slippers; even if the airline provides, they're never quite as comfy as your own, or if they don't provide, you're prepared. Next, I always pack tummy relief plus flushable antibiotic wipes that serve both for sanitizing surfaces and personal hygiene care. Remember to bring enough essentials for the return trip as you may not be able to replenish supplies while abroad. One last tip: I pack groups of things that logically go together in zip lock bags. For instance, my sleepwear all goes together in a single bag that I then remove the air, and it compacts the items. Then when I need my sleepwear attire, I just pull out the single bag easily knowing it's all together without having to rummage. I do this with my checked baggage too. It keeps your clothing from wrinkling, lets you pack more, and is especially convenient on multi-leg journeys with stopovers. It takes little longer to pack this way than normal, so it's definitely worth the extra time.
Great tips! Thanks for watching! Happy travels
This is the BEST list I've seen yet. I travel with nearly everything listed here in an accessible bag, even a change of clothes (a shirt at minimum). I was once on a shorter 2-hr flight and had the person next to me accidentally spill tomato juice on my pants and shirt. I was miserable the rest of the flight because I could not get to clothes in my bag stored in the overhead.
My additions to your list would be:
anti-puffing eye balm for long flights (I use the Boscia brand)
menthol cough drops (helps for dry throats as well as coughs)
noise-cancelling headphones (if I have the space)
Oh no! Tomato juice is the worst 😮. I love your suggestions! Will definitely try the anti puffing eye balm. I just got myself a pair of noise canceling earphones (not headphones) that are small and easy to carry on. Will bring them next time. Thanks 😉
cough drops yes! I cough occasionally and sometimes the only thing that helps is a cough drop so others don't think your contagious or dying in front of them.
@@susangilliam6400 yes, especially today. One cough will get you stares from most everyone!
As someone who flies frequently with the Military, you've nailed the list of gear if take with me for every flight. The only piece I have that is different from yours is an Anker PowerPort two-port USB charger, instead of the iPad cube. You can charge two devices at once and each port pushes 2.4 amps, which means they charge faster as well.
Oh that is a great suggestion. I'll look into buying one. Thanks so much!
Sean_B Yep. Anker is the best!
The one suggestion of something to add: compression socks or stockings. Wear one pair, pack an extra.
You are so right. I completely forgot to mention it in my video. I guess I'll just have to make another one where I mention it. Thanks for watching;)
My laptop, because I’m not going to put it in checked baggage (:
Super tip! Even if you've never needed compression socks before, don't take chances with deep vein thrombosis, which, if it doesn't take your life, could ruin your trip, by having to spend it in a hospital/
Thank you. I worked in an ER and my first DOA was a woman my age (32) who died in flight from a pulmonary embolism ( blood clot most likely from the leg that broke loose and lodged in her lung causing her to die). Tip for everyone on long flights: stretch and move your legs every half hour while awake
@@maryjanezimmerman7953 you are so right, I know two people who suffered from this after flights
One more for the ladies, tampons or pads! First trip out of the US to Switzerland and got my “friend” 2 weeks early. My boyfriend at the time noticed as we were boarding before I did 🤦🏼♀️.
Totally forgot to mention that. Thanks!
@Jessica Sakimae. For ladies it's a Must. Be prepared always. I distribute my pads in 3 bags - personal bag, carry-on bag and check-in luggage. I had help several women who got their period after we checked in for security while waiting for boarding time. Because I made sure I pee before the flight. I hate the airplane washroom so cramp, small and sometimes smelly.
Bless your heart
Also ladies if you forgot to bring some, most airlines give out pads/tampons!
Well I’m sure that ruined him getting some on vacay. 😳
This was extremely helpful! Thank you so much for posting! Safe travels! ❤️
Thank you for watching! Appreciate the feedback!
Thank you very much for this very informative video! Absolutely loved it and it’s gonna come handy for my flight in September to London! Thank you again 😊
Thank you so much. I'm sure I forgot a few things but at least it is a good start. Have a wonderful trip!
I’ve watched dozens of these videos. Yours is by far the best. TY
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I made this video when I first started my channel and was surprised at how many people commented. It is always encouraging to hear positive feedback. Cheers!
This was great! Saved to my travel playlist. Thank you for the great tips
Thank you. Happy Travels!
very helpful! thank you for making this video. can't wait to pack all these for my next trip on Sunday!!!
mimi_ my trip is next sunday 😄
Thank you so much for these tips - definitely will be packing accordingly for my first trip overseas !!
Thanks so much for watching! Have a great trip!
These are great ideas for long car or train rides too. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for watching. Cheers!
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS! I'm about to take my first international flight and I sooo need this!!!
You"re welcome. Hope you have a great trip, Cheers!
I have a long flight next year and have been enjoying watching videos to give me ideas. This one is fantastic! There were so many items that make so much sense yet I never would have thought of them. Thank you!
Great so happy I could help! I wish you a safe trip! Cheers!
Best travel tips video I’ve seen. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. Appreciate the feedback!
If the flight allows a personal item and a carry on, it's better to have a roller luggage that fits in the overhead bin AND a bag for underneath the seat for things you need easy access to. The person item can go on top of the roller luggage in the airport so you don't have to strain your neck, shoulders and back carrying that. It's always smart to pack a few outfits in your carry on in case your luggage gets lost. I fly back and forth between San Francisco and India, which is first a 15 hour flight with at least a couple hour layover and then another 4 hour flight. My luggage has gotten lost before (it was found, but took a week to get to me), so its a must to pack emergency outfits. I would also add compression socks if you have problem with circulation and let cramps.
Totally agree!
Great advice! Having traveled long hauls quite a few times your suggestions are spot on!
Thank you so much. Appreciate the feedback! Cheers
Thank you so much for this exhaustive list. I packed all the items as you mentioned them in my personal item for my trip in December. Packing my clothes will be a breeze now! You have earned a new subscriber.
Thank you so much! I was glad I could help. If you have any questions, don't hesitate. Have a great trip! 👍
Great video! I pretty much pack similar to what you suggested and also got couple of tips I haven’t thought of for long haul flights. Totally agree on the backpack versus a one shoulder strap tote. Learned my lesson after my first overseas flight lol
Thanks for watching ;)
Very comprehensive video, love you took the time to add still shots of items ;) I always take an extra outfit with me as well; you never know what can happen!
Thanks! It’s always nice to hear that all the hard work pays off. ☺️
One of the best list I’ve seen! Thanks! I didn’t think about sinus meds.
Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you Alex. I have a list to travel that I've been improving and I find your tips very helpful. ✈✨👌
Thank you so much. Happy travels!
Great video, Alex. Thanks for the ideas!!
Thank you for the kind words. Appreciate it!
💕 Thanks so much for the ideas and tips!
Thank you for watching! Safe Travels!
I am gonna go for a long trip, and this video gives me a lot of things that I sometimes forget. It is a perfect checklist! Thank you
Thanks so much! Have a wonderful trip!❤️
Fantastic checklist. Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Great video! I take most of the things you talked about here! Happy New Year!
Same to you. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic ideas, presented concisely & quickly!!! I
I don't fly long distances anymore but I enjoyed seeing what YOU bring in your carry-on. You reaffirmed that the items I used to pack are useful & necessary. Everyone used to chide me about being so prepared, until they needed something & came to me for help.
Two additional ideas: something for gas, diaharrea and/or bad indigestion in addition to the ginger. (I have gastro problems occasionally).
Second idea; packaged snacks, whatever you like. I traveled long distances many times w/my son, from ages 2 to 21. If a meal was delayed or not enough for him, I had snack items to pull out for him. (& me sometimes!) Ideas: peanut butter-cracker packs, nuts, dried fruits, etc. Not the most nutritious, I admit, but better than candy bars....or dealing w/low sugar jitters! My son laughed at my "snack bag" until he needed food on an overseas flight, when the flight was delayed & we had to stay on the plane! A hungry teen is not pleasant to travel with, for sure!!
One more thing:: a few sheets of paper towels. Can be used as a "placemat" or to help mop up spills, etc.
It's easier these days to buy little packets of many medical & personal items. Browse your dollar store for these. I used to carry small bottles of many meds, which made my carry-on heavy. Now there are options with those little packs of everything!
Safe travels and good health to you!🙂
Thank you so much. Appreciate the compliment. I like to be well prepared and like you, everyone always relies on me for anything they might be missing on the trip. LOL! Love your ideas, will definitely apply them on my next trip. Thanks for watching! Have a wonderful day.
Flying for the first time to Australia, first long flight ever! Thank you for your tips!
Your very welcome. Have a wonderful trip to Australia!
Thanks girl! Lucky me I just ran across this video! I'm going to Maui in Feb... and it's a very long flight from where I'm departing from! Such great tips... some I'd never even thought of!! 😀
Thanks so much for watching! Have a great trip! To Maui...I’m so jealous!
Tx for sharing. Very good & details
Thank you for watching;)
I do the same, travelling with the carry trolley in upper compartment for storage and a small tote bag with selected handy items on the seat. Additional to your items I got a set of headphone adapter plugs to connect my quality headphones to any aircraft, and additional water bottles are highly recommend as well. Great video, and safe travels.
Great suggestions. Thanks for your input. Cheers!
Hi Alex, I just found your channel and this is the second video I watch. Tips are great. Thank you so much for sharing. Yes I did like and suscribed. You are great.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. Have a wonderful day.
Great information! Thank you!
Thank you for watching
Enjoyed that, and got some good ideas! Thanks
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback. Happy Travels
Really great list of tips. Yup, you gotta be ready for the lost luggage or missed flight or cancelled flight situations. Hygiene kit & Spare clothes is a must carry on. You'll get more sleep time at the airport than if you leave the airport, get to a hotel, check-in, decompress, try to sleep from a disappointing day, then wake up super early to go thru security again to catch the first flight the next morning.
What an informative video!!! Thank u!!!
Thank you for watching!😉
I have a single backpack for my carry on for my flights to Asia. My connecting flight is usually in a different terminal so I have to cover a great distance in the airport. Plus I have to go through a security check when going from an arrival gate to a departure gate. So the less bags I have the better. It carries extra clothes, electronics, medicine and other things I can't afford to lose. I carry my passport, travel docs and trip money in a neck pouch. The passport only comes out of the pouch when it is requested and immediately goes back in the pouch when it is returned. That way it is always with me and it is easy to verify whether or not I have it with me. The backpack is stored in the overhead bin, it's usually too full to store under the seat, and I don't want to give up that legroom if it does fit. I wear cargo pants and a fleece (scottevest) jacket with lots of pockets. So anything I might need during the flight is on my person. This includes noise cancelling headphones, pen, gum, foam earplugs, iPod, wired earbuds (in addition to the headphones), and phones so I can turn them on after we land as we approach the gate.
I agree the less bags the better! Thanks for your other suggestion. Cheers!
@@AlexgoesCoconuts -ahhh. the smaller bag can be used now to take out of the backpack what you would want during the flight and put that at your feet so you can put the backpack above. Thank you both!
Great presentation, thank you.
Great video 🙂, that folding tote bag at 12:06 is also handy to have once you reach your destination as many countries have now banned single use plastic bags so it saves having to buy a bag each time you purchase something from stores like 7/11s
You are right, most places don’t provide bags anymore so these reusable ones are great to keep on you. Thanks for watching, Cheers!
Thank you so very much for this amazing video! Very informative! Got some excellent advise!
Now i must just go on a trip....
Kindest regards
Rita G
Thank you for watching! Cheers
This is a great video.! I wish I would have seen it last year when I traveled to Israel from California. I'm planning a trip to Asia this year. I'm looking forward to putting in practice a lot of your great suggestions.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate the feedback. If you have any question for your Asia trip, don't be shy. Happy travels
Love this, very helpful. 👍
Thank you very much! 😉
Great help for my Eastern Europe Tour next month..
Thanks.
Have a great trip! Thanks for watching 😊
I absolutely LOVE this! One of the things that I pack in my carry-on now is a pre-paid visa card. I just load it up with $50-$100 and keep it in my bag. I have found it very useful for those times when I get "stuck" at the airport due to a delay or cancellation to purchase food, items at the gift shop or even just for an emergency unexpected stay-over.
Great tip. Thanks for watching!
A great
list of necessities. Thank you.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching;)
the best so far thanks
Thank you so much! Happy Travels!
I enjoyed your video. You gave very good advice.
Thank you 😊
Brilliant hints. I’m about to take an 18 hour flight from Australia 🇳🇿 to The UK 🇬🇧 and honestly I HAD no idea what to pack without overpacking. Thank you 🌟🙏🏼
No problem, glad I could help. Have a wonderful trip!
Great video! I also pack compression socks, shawl/throw, collapsable water bottle, and a leg rest to elevate my legs. Tfs❤️
Great suggestions. Thanks for sharing.
Hi :) What time of leg rest do you use? I have been debating getting but seems many options out there. Thanks!
@@juliecumming1315 I have seen them on Amazon and Temu.
The stain remover is a great idea!
Thanks for the help!!!
This is freaking amazing! Thank you!
Thanks so much 😊
Fantastic list...thank you!
Thank you 😊
Hi, cool video and great ideas. For ultimate comfort, I would definitely add the SkyClip+ to hold your phone, iPad or Tablet in front of you handsfree. Without it, a sore neck is almost a guarantee after a long flight of holding your mobile device.
It helps me, and understand what I will be going to put on my bag pack first time traveling.. ❤️
Thank you. Hope you have a great trip!
Working for an airline this is the first video I've seen with real and practical info on what to pack on your carry-on bag! I will add some to my bag. Thank you.
Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for all your great tips! It will be extra useful to our trip to Australia. /Marie from Sweden
Thanks so much for watching. Hope you have a great trip. Stay Safe!
Alex goes Coconuts Thanks for your kindness. /Marie
You’ve done a wonderful job! I’ve traveled a lot, but it’s great to see your review.
Thank you! Appreciate it😉
I think, unless you have to go right into a business presentation or somewhere you have to look good the moment you get there, just take the make up off before the flight and don't worry about putting any back on. One of the things I do as soon as I get to the airport, before even getting a boarding pass or anything - take any outer layers you'll have to remove at security and stuff it in your carry on. Keys, watches etc, too. When you get to security you have your carry on to put on the belt. You're not stripping in the line and when you're through, you can take your carry on to another area to start getting dressed again. Then, at the most you're carrying your carry-on and possibly shoes. SHOES! Take slip ons, even maybe half size bigger. Easy on easy off. I have 'flight clothes' and they're all about 1/2 size bigger. No tight clothes to fly in.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing.
very helpful.
Your video is very informative....I am glad that I have somone who,is so organized and prepared like I do...coz...the stuff we take with us on a carry n bag are basic things that we reall need especially on a 14-16 hrs.flight....One thing that I always take with me ....my Rosary.
Thank you so much! Appreciate the feedback.
Great Video
I showed my friends this channel
Thanks for watching!
@@AlexgoesCoconuts Thank you for making it
Great list. Thank you. I took a long flight in May many years ago and didn't think to wear socks. I was SO cold on that flight. I never made that mistake again! And my luggage has been delayed a few times, so I carry a change of clothes and, depending on where I'm going, my bathing suit. I will definitely get the hydration spray you mentioned and the face wipes.
Same happened to me. I guess we all learn from our mistakes 😅. Thanks for watching!
Loved your video, full of good tips. Especially loved that you are considerate of other passengers when taking care of your own needs on a flight. Sadly not too many people do that anymore. Thanks for sharing and will definitely go to Walmart for the perfect pencil case for my passport. 😊
Thanks so much, Happy Travels!
I have a flight too Alaska coming up soon. I live on the East Coast so it is very long, 11 hours. These tips helped me. Thanks!
I'm so glad. I hope you have a wonderful trip. Stay safe!
Love the pencil case idea! I was about to spend $$ for a special case! 💖 TY!
Glad I could help😉
this is the most practical best guide ever
Awe thanks! SO happy you liked the video!
The grid. Great tip!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this informative video.
Thank you! Safe travels!
As per Atiq Rehman - Baby Wipes are a must. For ALL sorts of reasons.
Also hand sanitising liquids. They are great for cleaning tray tables which are now considered to be the most unhygienic areas on a plane.
I usually clean the armrests as well as I have seen too many people pick their noses and wipe them on the armrests.
Thanks for the tips . I am traveling soon and I found your ideas very helpful
Great! Thank you for watching! Love the feedback. Have a wonderful trip!
Alex I commend you. Every bit of criticism thrown at you was handled with such politeness and professionalism.
That’s a good idea thank you for the info
My pleasure! Thank you for watching 👍
Love the tips 👍 anyone travelling long haul I recomended noise cancelling headphones they are a game changer 🙏🏻🕊
Thanks so much for the feedback! Cheers
Thanks for this video! Will come in handy for my next trip to Taiwan:-)
Great 👍. Thanks for watching and happy travels!
My favorite flight! SFO _ TPE.
Really helpful 👌🏼⭐️
Thank you so much!
Loved this video, I made a copy of your list for my next trip. Lots of things I had not thought of. Thank you!
Great! Thanks for watching, and happy travels!
You put a good deal of thought and time into this. Well done. I like to take nasal oil to help with the dryness and some essential oils to refresh are nice to have to smell and get a pick up from the properties of the oil you bring. Lavender and Citrus are two favorites.
Never thought of that! Great suggestions 👍
@@AlexgoesCoconuts My Ex Wife was given that tip on the Lavender. She is a nervous flyer. (Not many trips) BUT...the Lavender seemed to really calm her. So...why not take it?
I have started using those back pack baby diaper bags. They have a ton of organization inside and plenty of pockets on the outside too. The only other item I would add to your list is a couple of extra zip top bags (gal. and qt size) I find that I am always finding uses for them.
The baby diaper bag is such a great idea! And yes, ziplocks is always good to bring along. Thanks for sahring! Cheers!
Nice n great information..
Guter Tipp für alles offen. 👍👍👍
You covered a ton of my must-haves! I’d die without hand cream, though, even on a shorter flights. Planes are so dry!
You are so right! I always bring a good quality hand cream with me when I fly. I just forgot to mention it in this video.
Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
This is amazing~ I’m leaving for MA in 13 days

You really helped me a lot thankyou very much keep helping others hope your family is safe 😌😌😀😀 and love you from india byeee
Awe thanks so much! Same to you and your family. Cheers!
Have not flown on a flight like this...but great list indeed! I can only imagine!!! Great job! Some tips are practical otherwise!
Thank you for watching! ;)
Never use a rolling suitcase as your carry-on unless you want to be forced to check it at some point! I've been on several "full" flights where they asked for volunteers to check rolling bags then didn't get volunteers so they randomly forced some people to do so! That will never happen if you use a backpack! I use a combination of a backpack and a smaller soft-sided tote that fits under the seat with my essentials. The flight attendant told me by using a backpack I would NEVER be forced to check it if the flight is full.
I see this happen all the time, that is why I prefer backpacks too. Thanks for sharing!
Yes it will happen if you have a backpack. On a flight from Shannon airport in Ireland June 2019 my carry on backpack was checked at Shannon airport and JFK when I got there. I had to take everything out and then repack it. My friend with a roll-on, no problem. The Irish security guys were much nicer than JFK.
@@johnc1975 Wow that is strange, they let the roll on go through and checked your backpack!? Well thanks for sharing!
I don't think that's true! I have a 40L backpack and it doesn't fit several airline's carry on dimensions, and my husband used to travel with his huge 75L and he has always had to check it on many airlines. Backpacking packs are BIG.
so helpful! thx
Happy I could help! Thanks for watching!
Thank you. good tips.
Thank you;)
Because of your List, I'm a new subscriber. Thanks SO much @alexgoescoconuts for a great update to my Travel Checklist ... I had the bare minimum with a few essentials! With 6 upcoming trips to Chicago beginning after Labor Day, my shopping for these essentials - and other items from other commenters - begins this week. Thanks again to you & enjoy!
Thanks for watching. Really appreciate the feedback. Have a great trip👍
I use a freezer bag for my zip lock that holds my liquids for the TSA check at security. Freezer bags are thicker and more resilient than the regular zip lock baggies and will be less likely to tear on the trip. Of course its always a good idea to have a backup on hand.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
thanks I learned something , also don't forget a light wt head lamp for reading or emergencies and maybe a small book
Great suggestion about the headlight. I often pack it in my luggage but didn't really think of it for carry on. I can see how it can be useful on a plane. As for the book, I used to carry a paperback version but now I just download ebooks onto my ipad to save space. Thanks for watching!
I used to take a small torch but now just use the torch light feature on the iPhone

I think you pretty much covered everything. never thought of bringing a change of cloths in back pack. I NEVER check my bag. They lost my luggage on a flight to Puerto Rico for FIVE days. NEVER again did I ever check my bag. They always have a laundry at my destination.
I totally agree that it is better to carry on your clothes if you can. It really sucks when they loose your luggage. I've had it happen several times but only on the way back. Unfortunately, I need to check in my bag when I travel to China because I go for 2-3 weeks and do not have access to laundry facilities. Thanks for watching, always appreciate the feedback ;)
I also like to keep some Germ-X and a few paper toilet seat covers in my carry-on. Airline toilets can be pretty germy, and they aren't always cleaned during flights.
For sure! Great suggestions. Thanks for watching😉
good advice!
