Travel Necessities for Your Carry-On
- Ear Plugs: Ear plugs block out chattering co-passengers, loud wails of babies and sonic engine sounds, promoting a cozier flying experience.
- USB Cable & USB Battery: Apt for those who intend to watch movies on their tablet during the entire duration of the flight.
- Tylenol/Advil: Have your nausea/migraine medicines at hand, just in case your brain decides to act up.
- Lotion: A mildly-scented lotion is a must for staving off the dryness brought about by plane air.
- Scarf/Overal: Temperatures vary within the plane, so it always makes sense to carry extra layering.
- Snack: Munching on light snacks like biscuits, fruits and chocolates keep fogginess and vertigo at bay.
- Neck Pillow: Maintain correct posture even while you drift off to sleep with a comfy neck pillow.
- E-Book Reader: Ditch heavy novels for digital readers that offer the convenience of switching between genres without lugging extra weight.
- Eye Mask: This helps to ease out the effects of jet lag when you’re flying between continents.
- Water Bottle: Plane journeys can be dehydrating; don’t forget to pop in a water bottle in your bag to stay refreshed on the go.
