Whether you
are going to get on a long-haul flight or planning a city break, one of the
most common problems one faces is what it should take with him. And although
clothes and shoes are the ones we care most about, there are some other things
that if we have them with us, especially during a flight, they will make our
trip even more enjoyable.
Antibacterial
wipes
Antibacterial
wipes are one of the things that I always have in my bag. But when it comes to
traveling by plane it stops being a habit and becomes more than necessary, as
airplanes can breed bacteria that are likely to cause various diseases. Did you
know that in plane's tray tables there are more bacteria even from the
airplane's toilet? So it is always a good idea to carry a pack of antibacterial
wipes in your carry-on bag.
Moisturizing
Cream & Lip Balm
The
recycled air of the airplane results in a great lack of moisture. And this may
sound insignificant to you, but it is likely to leave your skin and lips much
more dehydrated than you would expect. Especially on long-haul flights, the
problem can become more intense, so I always have a moisturizing cream and a
lip balm with me.
Sleeping
mask
A sleeping
mask can be your best ally if you want to sleep during your flight. Both the
lights on the plane and the flight attendants and passengers walking around the
corridors will make your sleep mourning. So make sure you always have a
sleeping mask with you which you will probably need several times during your
trip (for example in hotels without shutters, trains, buses, etc.).
Warm
clothes
Even if
your destination is a tropical island, or if you are traveling during summer,
the temperatures are usually lower in the airplane. And because the last thing
we want is to get sick during our holidays, it is necessary to have a cardigan
or a scarf on our hand luggage to cover in case we cool down. Of course, many
airlines especially on long-haul flights provide blankets to passengers, but a
warm outfit can always be helpful.
Snacks
We all love
to eat some snacks during a flight. In case we travel with a low-cost airline
though, food is something that can cost us a lot. That's why it's a good idea
to bring with you light, healthy snacks - without liquids or sauces. Cereal
bars, dried fruits or some sandwiches are always a good choice to keep you full
until you reach your destination. And since the hydration during the flight is
very important, I would also suggest bringing together an empty bottle of water
that you can fill after you have passed airport's security.
These items are great ideas for carry-ons, especially since I will be traveling in a few weeks. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Have a nice trip!!
DeleteI just traveled for the first time a month and a half ago (since I was a baby at least) and I was baffled about what to put in my carry-on. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI think that it will always be a problem let alone if we travel with a baby!!
