Valuables
Always, always, ALWAYS pack your most valuable items in your carry-on. If you pack it in your check on luggage there’s a chance it will get lost.
Change of Clothes
It’s a good idea to pack an extra outfit, just in case your luggage gets lost.
Lip Balm
Being on a plane is brutal on my lips. I have to have lip balm on hand at all times.
Entertainment
I’d like to say I could sit and relax for a few hours but I can’t. I need to be doing something productive. I love bringing a great book or my laptop or ipad on flights so I can keep busy.
Cozy Jacket/Blanket
Aside from being dry planes are also cold. I shiver quite easily so I always bring something with me to keep me warm.
