My Flying Essentials

3/15/2014

Exams are completed, and it's finally time to go home! Even though it's just a short trip home, I always tend to overpack. I've been trying to force myself to bring less and less, but there are a few things I need on every trip.
Picture
  1. Nautica 21-inch hardside rolling suitcase. It's my best friend when traveling: the inner compartment is split into two sections, perfect for those not-completely-full-suitcase trips. The hard shell with no external pockets ensures that I never have to worry about overpacking and not being able to carry on the suitcase. 
  2. Cardigan. The piece of clothing I could not live without would be my cardigan. It's lightweight and can fit in any bag [it even fits in my tiny handbag!], a perfect solution for the cold A/C in planes. 
  3. iPhone wallet case. Since I use my driver's license for domestic flights, sticking it and a couple bucks into a wallet case with my phone ensures that I can access everything easily, without having to dig through my bag for my wallet. 
  4. Empty water bottle. Full water bottles can't go through airport security, but empty ones can. Bring along an empty bottle, fill it up at a water fountain past security, and you'll never have to buy a $4 bottle of water again.
  5. Yoga pants. With an oversized sweater or t-shirt, they're probably the most comfortable pieces of clothing ever invented. That means they're a must on any flight.
  6. Earphones. But then again, I always carry these everywhere.
  7. Book. I'm awful at being able to sit and do nothing, including during take-off and landing. Since no electronics are allowed at those times, I take the opportunity to catch up on some reading.
  8. Portable charger. Let's be honest, I use my phone way too much. That means I also drain the battery too frequently. Instead of having to hunt for an outlet, I like to bring my portable charger - it usually holds about 2.5 full charges for my phone.
Happy flying!
