OT World Travelers: What is the ONE thing you can't do without

My kindle and my little charger box thingey that I can bring to charge up my kindle and phone while in flight.


You can bring any snacks already packaged(non liquids) through TSA


I always bring granola bars or cereal bars and lil bags of chips and a small thing of candy of choice. Gotta have a variety of sweet and salty.


Also usually bring protein bars in case flight is delayed for layover and I don't have time to grab food.

I can make do with an iPod and a book. Don't need anything else. I absolutely cannot sleep on airplanes so everything related to that is unnecessary.

I also bring an inflatable travel pillow and blanket


And headphones if I want to watch in flight movie

5 hour energy in case I need them
chapstick
gum for take off


buy a huge bottle of water once I get through TSA for the flight



I'm sure there is more

I can sleep. But I will wake up freaked out that I was drooling while I slept and a passenger saw and made fun of me.

yep

those headphones and phone with music

if it's a REALLY long flight I have my extra battery pack or an ipad that lasts way longer with the music

I just recently went to New Zealand, and I'd recommend:

Xanax + melatonin
Noise canceling headphones
A white noise app on your phone for when you want to sleep (I have sleep pillow)
The largest bottle of water you can buy in the terminal
iPad- download some movies and books
Glasses/contact case/contact solution
Face l& hand otion- your skin going to be crazy dry
Moist towelettes to wipe your face off when you wake up. Easier and less messy than normal face wash
Toothbrush/toothpaste (or at the very least mouthwash). Morning breath= ewwww
Don't dress like white trash when you fly, but pack some more comfortable clothes for the flight. I had yoga pants and a light button down.
Fuzzy socks- don't let your feet get cold
I brought my camping pillow & sleeping bag. Had to be as comfy as possible.
If you bring unopened snacks like nuts, candy, etc. you'll be fine.


Keep in mind my total travel time was about 36 hours, but everything fit easily into a carry on.


Also, I realize you asked for one thing, but the only ONE thing that can maybe get you through a long flight is a heavy sleeping pill, so take my advice and follow my list. Where are you headed?

That's the name of it!


Love the one I got. Once charged it can fully charge an iPhone 7 times.

I'm usually asleep before the plane takes off. I just need an inflatable pillow or my chin is on my chest the entire flight.
