What do I carry in my bag for a long haul flight..
I am writing this blog from my living room while watching Tim Tracker and counting down the days until I am on that 9 hr flight to Orlando,Florida. With a long haul flight I feel it is so important to make sure you're comfortable and entertained! Here is what I take with me to make this possible...
Essentials
- Passport- obvs! Also Boarding passes if they're not on your phone.
- Travel insurance documents
- Documents of where you will be staying on your trip AND directions/how to get there. ( especially if I am travelling to the US)
- Proof of Visa if needed.
- Travel Money
Electronics
- Phone and phone charger
- Laptop- I download Youtube videos before the flight for some entertainment.
- Ear Phones. I hate the ear phones the airlines give out!
- Camera and Go Pro ( I prefer to carry these items with me at all times)
Toiletries
- Mini take the day off (Clinique). I use this to take my make up off and be nice and fresh face for the flight.
- Clinique Moisture surge! my ultimate fave. Saving my skin from drying out on the long flight.
- Mini Deodorant.
- Glam Glow Thirsty Mud ( I use this as a lip balm as well)
- Tangle teezer and hair bobbles to tame the mane after a long nap!
Medication
- Buscopan! My fellow IBS pals will know how painful flying can be, these just help slightly with the bloating pain.
- Imodium in case of emergencies.
- Travel sickness tablets. I am normally okay on short flights but long haul I 100% need these tablets.
Bits and Bobs
- SNACKS. I could not go on to a long haul flight with no snacks. I really dont enjoy plane food that much so I always grab a sandwich and plenty of snacks to keep me going.
- Chewing Gum for take off to help with the pressure.
- Slipper socks. I always have cold feet and planes can get pretty chilly I think. Which brings me to my next item..
- cosy jumper. I just love being cosy and comfortable on flights. You will find me wrapped up in a plane blanket as well!
- Sunglasses
- A good book!
- Last but not least a pen and paper because you just may need one you never know!
That is everything I pack for my long haul flights! Let me know what you take I am always looking for more ideas :)
