Whoops! Forgot to add a PEN to the list 🙄. Don't forget to share YOUR airplane essentials below!!
I always have a pen in my life haha, in every bag, in the car, bedside table etc etc. I don't understand how anyone can be without a pen. Even on the beach, hiking or whale watching, never without a pen.
I always have my needlework and my CPAP machine.
Just got this idea: Be sure to pack one change of clothes in your personal item bag (just in case), and pack these in a compression cube. Then you can use the cube as a pillow on the plane.
My wife advised me to carry a change of clothes in my carry on. I refused, then regretted it when I got stuck in Canada for 24 hours with stinky clothes on. lol
@@snafutimes6883 Ha, ha. Now you've learned the hard way! I'll bet that, next time, you'll carry a change of clothes in your personal item bag -- note: NOT the carry-on that goes in the compartment above your seat because there's also a chance that there won't be room for it, and the flight attendant at the gate will have to check it in the cargo hold. It's the smaller personal item bag that fits under the seat in front of you.
That is an awesome idea, using as a pillow.
I always pack at least a couple pair of panties in my carry on in case of delayed luggage.
Add in an extra pair of socks, too.@@anitawallace2166
One essential item I always pack, whether on a plane or in a car trip is a nylon shopping bag that folds into its own case that can be attached to a purse or backpack. Not only is it a shopping bag but it can be used for a beach bag, and it is very cheap. Another item I carry instead of large bulky towels, blankets or pillows is a micro-fiber towel in a square case. In the case it is a pillow. Out of the case it is a blanket, a towel or a beach towel. It takes up a minimum of space and is quick drying when wet. The one thing I didn't hear you mention to put into a personal bag is medicine or a mini first aid kit (bandaids, etc.). Many of us are on prescription meds and must have easy access without the chance of a carry-on getting checked for lack of space.
Good point on the medications! Those are definitely essential to have with you on the plane 👍 Thank you for the other suggestions too!
Right On!
There are so many suggestions being added to your must-haves. I’d also include Bonine for nausea and from a CZcamsr I got the suggestion to carry a ziplock bag that can be used to place your iPad, kindle or reading material for coverage in the seat pocket to help avoid some possible unpleasantness that had also occupied that space.
I travel with small packets of Heinz yellow mustard. I get restless legs and a couple of these packets calms them right down. Pickle (dill) juice works, too! Nice video, thank you!🥰
Great tip! I don't have that problem, but my boyfriend does...I'll throw some in the next time we fly together 😊
Thanks for the tip and reminding me. I frequently get leg cramps at night and will need my leg cramp pills.
Yes! Somehow it it's the vinegar that stops the cramping. Don't know how it works, but it does.
Take a vitamin B complex before flight. It stops the restless legs.
Earplugs. They're a sanity saver and headache preventer. In fact I rarely leave home without them even if I'm just running errands or going to the Starbucks by me.
I always carry about 10 feet of duct tape wrapped around a golf pencil. It is about the size of a lip balm and has come in handy for everything from a broken shoe to a broken zipper. Mini zip ties. I take a few pages out of a games book (sudoku, word search, crossword puzzle) to keep me busy and they can be tossed when done. Baggies! I save small bags from when my dentist gives me new hygiene items, fast food, or whatever else and use them for collecting garbage at my seat. Doggie poo bags work well, too. (They come in handy in my day bag, as well, when I’m out sightseeing.) I keep all my goodies in a small packing cube with a handle and a carabiner to hang it on the seat pocket in front of me for easy access.
Awesome tips!! Thank you for sharing... love the idea of just taking a few pages of a game book with you 😊
The duct tape 8dea is GENIUS!!! I def will be doing this.
Duct tape, zip ties....hmmm interesting items to bring with you on a trip. Might as well bring a shovel to finish off the job too 😅
Great idea! 😊
I wrap my duct tape around a plastic card (expired cc, gift card), and it's always in my purse.
Compression socks for long trips.
I never take a blanket but I do take a thin “blanket scarf”. That way I have a blanket for the plane and a scarf . I’ve used the scarf I have as a blanket, beach cover up, to cover my shoulders in churches in Europe, picnic blanket. Or just as an accessory to outfits. So handy.
For me, I always travel with feminine wipes, unscented. I travel a lot to Turkey, and many bathrooms are a big dirt pit you stand over. It can get so hot walking, and it’s wonderful to have in case you have NO TOILET PAPER. Especially when you are out sight seeing. I also make sure that when I am packing, I always put a change of underwear in my carry on bag.
That hole-in-the-ground type of amenity can be found from the Canadian Rockies to the Himalayas. So yes, I've learned to always have toilet paper and moist wipes, for the same reason and more.
Your video has so many helpful insights! Thank you so much for the time and care you put into this. The one thing I disagree with is the recommendation to take an empty water bottle and refill it from one of those airport water fountain spigots. Sit near one, watch other people using it, and you will often see people putting the mouth of their water bottle right on the spigot, transferring their germs to the spigot and, from there, the germs go to anybody else who uses it. Even before COVID, when I observed that lack of caution from other people, I stopped using those things. Personally, I would rather pay an outrageous price for a bottle of water at an airport terminal shop.
I like to bring small pinch type flashlight like we use to put on our Keychain. I also bring a toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash tablets that I get from Lush Cosmetics. I now bring compression socks for longer flights.
I would never carry a blanket. It’s too bulky and only serves one purpose. I prefer a large scarf/pashmina or a sarong can serve as a scarf, dress, skirt, shawl, blanket, tote, towel, curtain, lampshade
I use a large scarf too, as a blanket on flights, and it works great! And, either I can roll it up & toss it back into the bag, or just wrap it around my neck, and off I go!
I might be weird but I love having a fuzzy, plush familiar blanket from home to sleep with at the hotel so I use it every night while on vacation.
I prefer a poncho with matching sombrero
I’m looking at getting a travel blanket because 4-hour flight plus a football game at my destination.
I take a light weight wool soft blanket it's just more comfortable.
Bring either a plastic grocery bag or one of those small bags used to pick up dog poop to use for your plane trash.
Almost everything you mentioned. I do love my peanut M&Ms. I’m flying to europe in a couple of weeks and finally remembered to buy them in advance so I don’t spend a fortune for them at the airport. 😊
A pen for filling out forms that are distributed on the plane. Several N95 masks to protect you from other people’s sniffles. Some international flights still require their use. Hand sanitizer. Plastic zip-lock baggies in various sizes for trash and to protect items you're using at your seat. Happy travels!
I never travel without my Seabands travel wristbands for motion sickness. I ALWAYS wear them to fly, and they work great for me!
For me, a pain management kit is essential. I have chronic joint pain, and the excessive air condition on some of the flights causes a flare-up, which takes approximately 2 weeks for it to resolve.😞 So having a pain management kit is a must-have; mine includes compression gloves, Nature's Willow Willow Balm, a pack of Alieve for desperate times, and wrist braces. From now on, I would add loose tea as a requirement to help me warm up and mitigate flare-ups and a blanket of some sort. A Kindle/book and a choose-your-own-adventure gamebook are a must. If the plane's entertainment system requires a jack headset, I'll have an Anker Bluetooth transmitter so I can utilize my wireless headset.
Vicks Vapor Rub is great for travel. I use it in my nose when flying. It keeps my sinuses open & moisturized. Works wonders for dry cracked feet, chapped hands…
Great tip! Thank you for sharing 😊
Do you put on the outside?
@@karlacaban9428 just inside the nostrils, a little bit outside would probably help too 😊
It’s good to soothe insect bites too! Cheaper than AfterBite.
I think it might be too smelly for some of your fellow travelers.
After traveling again for the umpteenth time and needing to board 4 flights and enduring long waiting periods for next flights, and often needing to overnight in a hotelroom, I've been considering to design my own carry on/back pack. Going through security is the greatest challenge to keeping things organized and easy retrievable. I nèèd to have all my stuff with me - including a hefty laptop weighing 5 kg with power connections, different adaptors for different countries and àll the stuff and more you also suggest. We often experience cancelled flights and unforseen overnight stays. Our travel usually lasts three whole days and going through 4 time zones and àll the security checks. It's a challenge.
compression socks are a must for long haul
Great tips! I also include extra contacts lenses and my glasses in case I need to or want to remove my lenses. Change of clothes and basic toiletries incase luggage is lost. A foot sling-some airlines don't mind if you use one and a non aerosol air freshener for the bathroom. You may also want to bring a fast acting nasal spray. If you have any congestion this will save you from potential ear pain when ascending.
YES, my ears dooooo pop! I hate that and it's uncomfortable! TY for reminder tip! 👍👍👍
I have traveled for literally years with that first type of pillow that you showed … I love it … but that’s just me. I snuggle with that pillow all the time & am usually asleep before we leave the ground. Love your suggestions!!! Thanks!!!
It's a nice backpack, but you would be hard pressed to use it as a personal item for international travel. 40 x 30 x 10 cm is the kind of size expected these days. For this reason, you have to ditch a lot of items, especially conventional travel pillows and large water bottles 🙁
Snacks are their own issue. There are biosecurity issues upon entering some countries which mean that any fruit or open packages of snacks will have to be discarded and all unopened snacks declared. Any squishy snack is also a 'liquid', and has to be in the 3-1-1 😣
I can't go anywhere without a notebook for writing and sketches.
I guess that's why you should ditch the healthy stuff!!
I put a few things (lotion, Lip balm, eye drops) in a snack sized zip top bag inside my quart liquid bag. I can then grab that baggie for my personal item easily and have what I want on the plane
Eye masks are also a Do Not Disturb sign, so the flight attendants and other passengers leave you alone!
Love the snack size bag! Great tip 😊
I am always flying with disposable garbage bag, attaching it to the folding table, you can put your gum or antibacterial napkin or whatever it is into it.
I LOVE MY Turkish Towel!! I bring it with me on pretty much every trip. I wrap it around my neck as a scarf when boarding the plane. I've used it at least several times on cold flights. As a plus size traveler, it fits me much better than any hotel or air bnb towel. I use their towel for my hair and this one for my body. It's long enough to act as a robe when I walk from the bathroom to my bedroom: I wrap it around me once, then tie the ends behind my neck and voila! toga robe! I also can't tell you how many times I've pulled it out in other countries when the nights were colder than we expected and it was another blanket layer.
Garlic tablets, take 2 days before holiday and then one everyday while on holiday. It stops mosquitoes bitting you.
Does garlic smell come out of skin pores? Smelly?
I cannot smell anything and i have never had any complaints from anyone. Also my friend takes them and i could not smell garlic on her either.
Non-negotiable item for me is "EarPlanes" !!! I'm fine with take-off, but have the most excruciating head/ear pain with landing! And "EarPlanes" are my savior! I would never, ever fly without these, no matter the length of flight! (they come in both Adult size, and Kid size too), and they work like a charm!
@@silverlining4635 Earplanes are a game changer, aren't they! We use ORD often, just because of location! But earplanes have made every landing pain free!
@@silverlining4635 Yep! I've used EarPlanes for ORD, Milwaukee, MSP, 3 Hawaiian Islands, etc, and several stops in Europe! ahhhhhhhhh :-)
Oh absolutely. I can’t fly without my Earplanes.
I have a super lightweight purse insert. I put all of the things I might need during the flight in it. I think you covered pretty much everything I always bring, except I bring some ginger gum in case of slight nausea and also to have gum if my ears are popping. The one thing you didn't mention, that I always bring is a hero clip. I use a hero clip to hook on to the edge of the seat back tray in front of me. I hang the purse insert off of the clip as well as my water bottle (with a carabiner). My snack bag goes into the seat pocket. That way I don't have to get into my personal item bag (most of the time).
Great tips!! Thank you 😊
Sheri Winston What is a hero clip. Thanks
I sewed a strap to a squishmallow and a travel blanket. I use the squishmallow as a pillow and its so comfortable. It comes in handy at the hotel too because i always find those hotel pillows to be uncomfortable. I always pay for a window seat so i can sleep
My biggest problem is being too warm on the plane.
I use my jacket/sweater to roll up and put in the small of my back for lumbar support.
Pen and notebook, toiletries/liquids, extra set of clothes and undies just in case my carry on has to go under(long story🙄)a pair of slides and socks. Electronics and chargers with multiple ports(universal charger for international flights), extension cord, snacks, gum, face masks and hand sanitizer as well as Clorox wipes, makeup, small microfiber towel, compression socks, vlog camera, extra ziplock baggies, a large trash bag for dirty laundry/items that require separation, feminine items, extra pair of glasses especially….I think that’s it. I don’t carry a blanket but I usually have on sweats or something warm going through the airport and on the plane.
Surgeons, wound care nurses, and dermatologists don't tend to recommend neosporin at all anymore.
Interesting...I wonder why. I've seen it work time and time again.
Headscarf or buff because cold ears.
From time to time, Costco carries a down throw for $20. Down is amazingly warm, compresses to nothing and is super light weight.
Great suggestion!! Thank you 😊
iPad with downloaded Netflix, ear buds, freshening up items: toothbrush, paste, hairbrush, deo. Quite individual decisions. Thx for giving us ideas.
I just bought the same one!!! Before i saw your show. I like that it is sleek, slender and as a thermos, fantastic for hot coffee on touring bus. Fill up in hotel at breakfast! This will accompany me to my inaugural trip to Scotland this September!! Thank you!
TY for tip! 👍
My “blanket/towel/shawl” is from Sand Cloud. It’s large, lightweight and a neutral color. It doesn’t hold sand or water, so great for the plane, or the beach, and the airlines never make me stash it.
Lately, anything on the outside of a personal item bag has seemingly been an issue with myself and others when boarding.
There is data on keeping your airways hydrated and that it reduces chances of infection, they make a specific product called Ayr that's a nasal spray or gel 👌
Good to know!! I’ll have to look for that 😊
Be careful with nasal sprays. They can also introduce bacteria and viruses if not kept perfectly sanitary.
Chewing gum, during takeoff and landing if I chew a gum my ears do not clogged.
I used to have to chew gum every time I flew for my ears, but for some reason as I've gotten older I don't have as much problem! But definitely a great thing to have 😊
So, any medical providers out there, this is for you! If you travel enough on an airplane, you’re going to get called upon to help a fellow passenger. I’ve learned to travel with a little compact case that contains a blood pressure cuff a small stethoscope, a thermometer that is a digital scanner type and a small pulse oximeter. This comes in handy to get a quick set of vitals because inevitably medical emergencies are hectic on the plane and, there are variations and how much equipment may be available for medical assessments. also have your NPI readily available. I just keep mine on my phone.
I never travel without the Clorox wipes...OR, I buy the little 3 piece travel set of Sovereign colloidal silver. Nasal mist used through any flight a few times on longer flights, I have the spray in case of dry throat or eyes as those are great entry points for viruses ( you can use it in eyes) and the dropper bottle is handy for just in case of a wound, etc.
Does nasal mist need to go in liquid bag?
@@karlacaban9428 No, I get the Sovereign Silver nasal mist. Very handy.
DUh, I just understood the question....and yes, it does. You can find travel packs at Amazon. It has a spray, a nasal mist, and a bottle just to use as a refill.... I love that set up.
Instead of a pillow I pack a soft neck brace. It packs fairly flat and holds one's head upright. Perfect for the aisle or the dreaded center seat.
Also, I always bring chewing gum for unplugging my ears and nausea bracelets which help with motion sickness
I have back issues from siting I use a blowup pillow to sit on and a blowup head pillow. This was recommended by my chiropractor. Very helpful. Thank you for reminding me of the things I have set aside to pack. And restful leg natural tablets.
These are great tips! Thank you for especially suggesting all the items for hydration! Appreciate it .
Great video! I am packing many of those items for an upcoming flight to Las Vegas, challenging myself to pack carry on only. Thanks so much. A big YES to a Turkish towel (or Pashmina or Wrap Scarf!)! 😊❤️💺✈️🧳💯
Thanks for a great video. I like that you talked about what you use for short flights and always carry vs the long flights. I too love my Trtl Travel Pillow. You can really rest your head on it. Works great. Look forward to more of your videos.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
This Contigo thermos in midnight blue was my colour choice too.✈️
Oh! That reminds me, I wish I would remember to bring something to pad shopping bag handles, like maybe a small towel (or gloves if it isn't too warm). The handles dig into my hands and become extremely painful.
U R SPOT ON. I AM VERY SIMULAR TO U. BUT ALWAYS TRAVEL WITH PEPTO, COUGH DROPS. AND EXCEDERINE. ( JUST IN CASE) LIFE SAVERS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 OHH AND I WOULD BRING MORE FOOD. HEHE. HALF A BURRITO AND OR SANDWICH
Fun and useful ideas!! But - no Vaseline up the nose. Neosporin only if you have an small infection in the nostril. Otherwise best to use a proper nasal gel to moisturize. Oy. Looked it up- no Vicks up the nose either!
People have been using Vicks on your nose for decades. Not a problem.
In the video I do suggest putting around the outside of your nostrils, not actually putting anything up into your nose. Just to clarify 😊
amazon carries several sleeping bag liners starting at $20. I have a couple them and they work great! They're just like a sewn up sheet.
Love all this…NEED to know where you got the blouse!
RN here. 2 things about the Neosporin: It's an antibacterial & has no effect on viruses, but otherwise not a bad idea UNLESS you are allergic to Neomycin. If you've used triple antibiotic ointment (a.k.a. Neosporin) without any allergic reaction, fine. If you are allergic, I'd recommend switching to Polysporin.
Great ideas. I will bring a small blow up beach ball for under my feet because I am ahort and it will take the pressure off behind my knees. $1.25 at the dollar tree.
Great tip! Thank you 😊
I now carry Portawipes. They are dry wipes that are large tablets. Add water and they are washcloths. I’ve been too many places where they’ve run out of toilet paper or tissues, or I just want to wash up without finding restroom. I don’t leave home without a tube of these now.
I just invested in a Brita filter water bottle. Now my water is palatable, no matter where I fill it. Plus the water stays cold. (In my car, water stayed cold three hours).
Great idea!! 😊
I usually take a medicine pouch with me with Tylenol, excedrin, tums, and any other medications. If you don’t have travel size bottles, you can put them in a medicine box.
I can't think of traveling without active charcoal. It would help you with gases, allergies and food poison in minutes. I always have pills of active charcoal.
So true, activated charcoal is really effective
Great idea! Thank you!
A large silk scarf - very warm, packs small, weighs nothing, and is versatile. Ear plugs - must have - removing the jet engine noise with good foam ear plugs was a game changer for me - much more relaxed. I have a small cube with all of my electronic cables, chargers, flash drives, etc. so it is all in one small stash-able space. And, I carry snacks that are nut-free out of respect for those with allergies to nuts.
Your hands are so pretty 💕 and thank you for all the great tips !
Great tips I love your blue blouse. Where did you get it from?
You need a AirFly Pro its a dongle that has a jack and makes the plane into bluetooth, so wired headphones become unnecessary. And it's only $50.
I carry headache medication and anti acids for stomach upsets (just in case)
Never leave home w/out....wipes. i do not use toilet paper on airports or planes. Feminine wipes.
Some airlines (in my case, Virgin Air), do not allow any lithium batteries in the cabin. I think all airlines don’t allow lithium batteries in the hold. So the power banks (all carry lithium batteries) that I bought for my trip overseas have to be left at home. I understand the safety of doing this. I’d rather live than use my tablet. I hope they have something at each seat to charge our phone, laptops, or tablets. I can’t wait until there are these products that use quantum energy. It’s free, it’s safe, and it exists, but it has been suppressed in favor of traditional energy from hydrocarbons.
Then cell phones, lap tops, Kindles, tablets, etc. are not allowed?
Thanks for the tips
You do realize that water on the plane comes often from the planes water tank and may be contaminated? I use a large water bottle that holds 57 ounces (from Walmart) of water - alternatively you can buy water bottles past security or ask the crew to make your coffee or tea with bottled water only!!!
Thanks
You showed some snacks which included peanuts. Please do not bring peanuts on a plane. There might be someone allergic to peanuts on the plane and even having them on the plane can affect them. Sounds crazy, but even if they are not even near you, the air circulates and they might have a reaction.
I "second" this advice. In fact, if a flight attendant sees a passenger with a pack of peanuts, he/she might take it due to the potential danger it could cause. Thanks for pointing this out.
Thank you for commenting about this. It is actually the reason that airlines no longer offer peanuts. One of my children is allergic to peanuts and has been airborne sensitive to them in the past which has required emergency medical help. We let our airlines know in advance AND it is announced at the start of the flight. Our goal is to get to our destination without delays. However, an in flight emergency will cause a plane to make an emergency landing.
Good point! Sorry, that was just a quick b-roll shot I pulled. I'll make sure to be more careful in the future. I personally don't travel with peanuts, but there are a lot of trail mixes out there that contain peanuts and I think people wouldn't even think twice about bringing with them!
@@GenxGypsy1968 most people would not think about allergic reactions without some exposure. Good job 👏🏽 presenting the airline essentials we must never forget. We don’t want anything getting in the way of our travels to great destinations. The only thing I would add is to pack patience, kindness and a good attitude.
In a perfect world I would agree with you; however, I have anaphylactic reaction to any and all seafood and I in no way expect an airplane to limit seafood…so I’m not in agreement with you on this point.
Men women it doesn't matter make sure that even though you're referring to stuff for use on the plane only that when the plane lands and you have access to going to the bathroom to bring some deodorant. That way you can at least freshen up
I bring a thin, flexible phone stand.
I thought the power bank is prohibit on the plane?
Power banks are only allowed in your carry on luggage. You cannot transport them in your checked luggage. Good question!
Great video!!
Gum or mints too !
Don't forget your glasses case if you where glasses.
Good one! And for your sunglasses, I've crushed more than one pair of sunglasses in my personal item!
What do you recommend to gift airplane attendants on flights?
Blankets, pillows,chargingport, snacks, water, food & drinks ?? What airline are you flying? I have been flying with eva airline, all for FREE!
You're very lucky! Most airlines are not as generous at Eva Air, especially after Covid. 😊
Why would you use the teal blanket and stuff it’s case with the sweatshirt as a pillow. Seems more efficient to me.
I thought you said you were going to have a future video on packing your personal item for airplane travel, but I don’t see it as of yet, and I’ve searched for it, so please send us the link for that, as it would be much appreciated.
You're right, I'm so sorry that video did not get made...got sidetracked with other topics.
However, I will be doing one in a few weeks...so stay tuned!! 😊
I'm needing this video too ❤🙏
Peanuts? Some people are allergic to Clorox wipes too!
Air fly has a Bluetooth adapter that I have seen, so you don't need wired and wireless headphones.
Does that work on the onboard entertainment systems for all airlines?
Well, guess I should have looked it up before I asked 😂
Yes it does
I add chewing gum to help if your ears act up, and a few ginger candies in case you get queasy. (FYI: You will find yourself burping whenever you fly! )😅
Also, don’t bring stinky food or any very strong ointments/sprays. Think of the other passengers! 🤗
Basic make up items are needed to look good
I carry a pashima shawl instead of a blanket.
Fiber supplements, because bring off schedule can ruin a vacation 😅
So true!!
What are the dimensions on your old backpack is it accepted on all airlines?
Its actually illegal to plug anything into the ports under the seats. (Flight attendants say this on every flight during the safety announcements) u can only plug into USB up top if there is a monitor. Outside of that u need an external charger to keep your device charged. FYI.
Do the Clorox wipes need to go into the liquids bag?
No, the wipes are not considered a liquid, even though there is sometimes the tiniest bit of extra moisture I've never been pulled aside for them and I carry them for almost every flight. 😊
My knitting
Hi there its a nice to meet you!
Can anyone tell me WHY we can't take water on a flight?
You absolutely can take water on a flight. Just bring an EMPTY water bottle with you through security and fill it up at the water fountain before you get on the plane. Most water fountains at airports have water bottle filling stations specifically for this. 😊
@@GenxGypsy1968not in Colombia or Indonesia or out of Australia or New Zealand. I sneak water in in 100 ml bottles but I've never got a water bottle onto a flight, full or empty. In Colombia and Indonesia, they check your luggage for water as you board the flight.
Great stuff but how on earth do you manage to take a water bottle on a long-haul flight? I've had so many bottles confiscated when travelling internationally. Now, for emergency hydration, I take water in what are basically shampoo bottles under 100 ml. I also take a cheap but sturdy glass or acrylic container so I can ask for water and not have to drink it all at once because I can't store those flimsy plastic cups. I can jam it into the seat pocket.
The bottle has to be empty until you are past TSA, then fill it in the airport
I need to learn to pack lightly. It would be a complete nightmare if my carry on luggage 🧳 opened up 🆙 in the airplane ✈️ and spilled everywhere. That is one of my biggest fears of traveling 🧭 on an airplane.
I saw a tip elsewhere to use small luggage zipper pulls to keep them from popping open. Another tip that I will definitely using - small zip ties. Not only do they hold things together, but are a theft deterrent . They even suggested locking your bags that way at your hotel - deters crimes of opportunity.
Oops - small luggage locks through the holes of the zipper pulls.
Use packing bags in your suitcase or pack in ziplock bags just in case
@@k3ttt thanks everyone who responded
you forgot to add Acetaminophen &/or Ibuprofen
Your stores have numerous items unavailable.
Almost all you mentioned like pillow and blanket if you do not know, it is provided on long haul flights plus essentials like ear plug , eye cover, toothbrush, toothpaste, flight socks etc all in small purse …food, drinks-even non alcoholic drinks and snacks are all provided at no extra cost lol
Unfortunately not all long haul flights provide those items unless you are flying in first class or comfort class.
It is changing though. We were on a flight from Frankfurt to Toronto last week - no free alcoholic beverages and blankets needed to be purchased. We are not given those little travel baggies with eyeshield, socks and toothbrush anymore either.
@@enadiedericks2006 I flew to South Korea from Toronto. I had free blankets to and from on Air Canada. I didn't use them, but nice it was offered.
We flew from Vegas to Madrid and the only thing we got was a blanket but we had roast for it and they didn't have many. This was in 2009.
Have you posted the video about your new backpack? I have not been able to find it. TIA
Not yet! It’s in the works, I’m hoping to have it ready next week. I’m going to do a personal item only packing video to showcase the backpack 😊
@@GenxGypsy1968 Thanks
foot hammock.
I've been looking at those! Do they work well??
I’ve heard some airlines don’t allow them
A dollar store blow up beach ball works good.
