What to take on a long haul flight
So Holiday is on the horizon, main bags are packed, itinerary checked. Now what to take with you on the plane.
My first item is a good folder or cover for your passport, hard copies of your tickets, transfers, hotel reservations, copies of your passport, ,credit cards 💳 any other important information that you might have on your phone or laptop but you need a hard copy ( actually another set at home as well ).
Medication 💊 especially anything vital, also a pack of paracetamol, band aids plus a copy of your prescription.
A wrap or pashmina,or light cardigan, aircraft cabins can get cold, also you may need it on arrival.
A pair of those hotel throw away slippers, when you take your shoes off these are perfect for walking to bathroom etc , then leave them behind. Also a spare set of undies ( in the off chance your bag gets lost) …. be there try finding a bra that fits in Singapore that doesn’t cost the earth!!!!
A set of good headphones 🎧 especially if your not in the pointy end the noise canceling are a great investment. On that download some music or TV to your tablet or phone before going away.
A empty water bottle & get it filled on board , then throughout your trip get it filled up you will feel better, plus away you can buy bigger bottles of water & not be using too much plastic.
Body wipes packs great for feeling a bit refreshed plus a small tube of toothpastes, toothbrush, if you can also a small travel bottle of mouthwash , face wipes and moisturiser..
Eye mask & ear plugs ( OMG these are a godsend)
A small folding shopping bag( duty free bags are never strong or big enough!,,)
Word to the wise the more you take , the more things to lose or misplace, just take what you need onboard, the rest in your packed bag.
Sit back, kick off your shoes, pop on your slippers, headphones on now relax & drink that water too. Read my tips & tricks
