Former airline ramp agent here, I’d avoid using the water for a beverage or ordering a tea or coffee. Bottle water only 😅 trust me on this.
I don’t use the seat-back pocket. Instead, I bring a tray table cover (it’s called “airplane tray table cover”). It serves as a cover for the tray when eating. When putting the tray back up, it is a hanging organizer with multiple pockets for phone, charger, snacks, water bottle, hand sanitizer, etc. Everything is right in front of me. It is super helpful especially during a long international flight. I cannot travel without this cover.
What a great idea! That is a new one for me! Thanks for sharing!
WOW! Great idea! I have never seen or heard of them. Will look for one now as I have an upcoming 13 hour flight to tackle soon.
Thank you
@@richardclausen154 I hope you can get it at a discount price. I just looked it up on Amazon and the price is twice what I paid a few years back 😮
Always bring chapstick and lotion
Thanks for watching!
Now that is good advice :)
Must haves for overseas trips for me are: Bose noise cancellation headphones, Clorox wipes, bottled water, tissue paper, tooth floss picks, Listerine travel size (I don't like to brush my teeth on the plane with their water), sugar-free gum or mints, eye mask, lightweight pull-over
All great travel items! Happy travels!
The Bose headphones are a must for a flight of any duration! Lol.
They seriously cancel out everything (engine noise, crying babies, etc.) and put you in another world without having to damage your ears by turning your music up loud.
Noice canceling headphones plus an iPod gives one the comfort of reducing noice caused fatigue, plus knowing you are not limited to whatever the airline has going. Hours and hours of a wide variety of music allows for a myriad of moods.
@@PortableProfessional I started wearing compression socks and those cheap slippers you see in hotels or from the dollar tree. Much better than wearing shoes.
This might be an odd thing to do…but I bring a number of clear plastic garbage can liners. I put my purse in one, then purse under the seat. Useful for visits to the airport bathroom. IF I ever had an emergency and had to use the airplane bathroom, I would cover my feet. As I heard a cabin attendant once comment, ‘that’s not water on the floor, you know’!
I always, always carry a package of disinfectant wipes. I share them with my seat mates. Tray tables, arm rests, head rest areas, AROUND THE WINDOWS where you rest your head, all get wiped down, quickly, so I’m not that person holding up the passenger loading line!
What a great idea! On our last flight the people in front of us were filthy and spilled food and drink on the floor and it ended up soaking the bottom of my bag. I heavily waterproofed it before our next flight. 🤢
I used to be one of those who looked at people who sanitzed their space funny. Since Covid, I have changed my stance on that. It's not just the chance of catching a bug that won't let me go, but it actually makes sense. Who wants to have a cold declare itself on day 3 of an exotic vacation, get better around day 10, and fly back on day 14 (or even worse, fly back while sick). I recently flew United, and they gave out sanitizing wipes. Very few people used them, but I was one of those fascetious people who wiped down everything that they would be touching during the flight. No shame. And I used the garbage bag trick on a shorter trip, when my personal item was a snow white tote. You might ask why snow white? It went with all of my summer travel outfits and was ultra light. Just a bad idea while flying.
I bring a packet of HotHands warming insoles on long flights. These thin insoles last 8-9 hours once the packet is opened. I put them in my shoes either right before or just after boarding. Having warm feet helps me relax and stay comfortable on a long flight. Don't forget a second pack for the return flight!
Really great tip, Alison!
I must admit to wearing thermal socks on a cold flight xx
@@PortableProfessionalalso great for warming bottled water for your herbal tea.
Apart from the standard stuff we carry on a long haul flight, Im one of those who likes to use a skincare mask during the flight. Make it a mini spa for yourself and dont worry about the weird looks you sometimes get. Arriving at the other end not looking like a dried out prune is always such a plus. lol
That sounds relaxing! Might just give it a try on my next flight!
I bring an empty insulated cup. I have an airport restaurant or Starbucks fill with very hot water. I too bring my own favorite teabags to use. I have been informed by airline staff that their water tanks are rarely cleaned and to definitely not use their tea or coffee service.
This is a great idea!
Suggestion: brilliant idea about the gallon bag for seat back pocket- I think I will "pre-pack" all the things I want in that seat back pocket, before the flight, this way I just grab that bag and place it and the contents, in the seat pocket. No more fiddling around my bag for the items I always use!!! I then plan to have another replacement bag, in my carry-on-bc I will toss out the original gallon bag!
Great idea! I would even line the original bag with the replacement bag so that you can just peel off the outer bag leaving all contents in it and tossing the outer bag.
Consider double bagging and discard outermost bag.
I keep meaning to find a solution to the filthy seatback pocket dilemma, so great idea! I wonder if anyone makes rugged and perhaps somewhat rigid ones that you can then insert into a cheap plastic bag so it doesn't get soiled by the seat pocket, then discard the bag after getting off.
Instead of toothpaste, I use toothpaste tabs. Bite is the brand I like. Easier than filling a tiny plastic bag. For gum, I like ginger gum which also can settle a queasy stomach.
Good idea - for the quesy tummy.
Great ideas, Sheri!
That’s what I wanted to suggest, too.
At first these tabs feel a little strange, but I use them now all the time. And for travelling they are really convenient. Just bring the amount you need. They weigh next to nothing, and no messing around
Oooo that’s smart!
I bring toothpaste tabs and mouthwash tabs from Lush
I would not recommend using a dog bag for your toothpaste. I can’t imagine that they make that from food safe plastic. It would be better to do the same thing with a corner from a ziplock sandwich bag and should work the same way. Good idea though!
You cannot tie off the end of a ziplock bag
@@jenniferwhitlock7821 Hmmm. I just did it with a ziplock bag just now. It does in fact work. After tying the knot, you cut off the excess bag.
Good point, Rachel!
@Portable Professional as an alternative suggestion, use a tiny plastic food safe pipette to store the tooth paste. It worked for me. Also, you can get tooth powder that activates with water. That has also worked for me.
Toothpaste tablets are a great idea for travel. Not only are they low sudsing (no need to even rinse, in a pinch), but they don't go in your liquids bag. I got a cheap folding travel toothbrush, and three tablets fit in the folding part for easy storage and use.
Good to know! Thanks for watching, Tracey!
International trip tomorrow. Will do this. Thanks for the suggestion.
Rather than using the non-recyclable plastic bag for single use toothpaste, try toothpaste tablets or DIY them by putting a dab of toothpaste gel on wax paper, sprinkling baking soda on top and let dry overnight. Store in a small silicone container/bag for use anytime. This is what I use for backpacking trips. Saves weight and packaging. 🌿
sorry dear. Plastic bags ARE recyclable. I work in the the plastics industry. You know what is not recyclable? those individual floss-toothpicks.
@@Xia-hu Sadly, most of the "recyclable" plastic ends up in the landfill anyway even if it is first transferred to a recycling center. It all depends on where you live.
Plastic bags are reusable! I use mine slot!
@@trekkie-cat Reusable but not recyclable. I do understand the convenience and weight factor.
For those who wear contact lenses, it's best to wear prescription glasses on the day of flight. The dry cabin air will get the best of your contacts and rewetting drops barely help. Also I'd rather remove my contacts before leaving for the airport as cleanliness in public facilities isn't always guaranteed.
Great advice, Thomas!
I always wear a hooded jacket on flights. It provides a barrier between me and the seatback/wall when I nap. It also visually blocks out the people next to me.
Swat back pockets sometimes are used if a person is air sick having a couple of plastic bags. I purchased disposable teeth cleaners one time use. Don't need water. They little sponges on a stick and a minty flavor and works great. I carry herbal tea bags and crystal lite for 500ml size servings. Also Mono luggage as 750 ml bottles that filters water, great on airlines as the water tanks are rarely sanitized, I am an licensed aircraft mechanic and worked on these aircraft. Also carry a small flashlight and handy wipes for many uses.
Great content, thank you.
I always bring Chlorox wipes. I wipe down everything including seatbelts and the safety menu. LOL.
Thanks for watching, Christy!
I always have Earplanes - special pressure modifying earplugs because I have really bad eustachian tube dysfunction and chewing gum is not generally enough (though I do that, too). It helps save me from severe ear pain on descent and accompanying hearing loss for a time after a flight. This tip was told to me by an ENT 20 years ago and I continue to follow it. My ear canals are on the smaller side, so I get the kid's size Earplanes and they help.
I can't fly without my earplanes. I take Meclizine too (Over the counter motion sickness medicine)
@@happycook6737 I happen to have small ear canals and discovered some time ago that child sized earplanes fit the best
Noise canceling headphones is #1
I've found that my most indispensable item for long flights is a sling bag which can a) store all items I need access to and b) I can shorten the straps and hook it over the tray table so it hangs right in front of me. Everything I need is access accessible and I don't need to put anything in the dirty seat pocket. I've had almost a dozen flights in the past few months (including some long hauls between the US & Europe) and this has worked great. My new favorite is the Bellroy Lite Sling which is 7L and can store my chargers, cables, airpods, tissues, personal First Aid Kit and even my iPad Mini. It's been awesome!
I also bring a tiny nail clipper because I hate having a hangnail or rough cuticle. Having that bug me for an entire flight would be torture.
They also can cut tags, strings, and other items without needing scissors!
Lol same because it would irritate me so much that I would pick it off and then bleed and make things ten times worse 😂😂😂
are clippers allowed through security? I thought those were not allowed because they have sharp edges
Absolutely line that seat back pocket! I bring one bag for each leg of my flight(s) and toss at the end of the flight. On a long trip, a roll of dog bags can be used for several different purposes.
Great video. I would also add one or two vinyl disposable gloves….you never know when you’ll have to pick up something that fell in a dirty place. I always pack a few in my suitcase but now I’ll pack some in my carryon also. Thanks for the tips.
Never thought to pack those! Great tip, you know your stuff!
I also use those on television remotes in hotels. Or even a small baggie will do.
I thought I was the only one but glad that I'm not alone.
“Bring a small plastic bag to line the back seat pocket” ….brilliant! I did not know about this. Thank you! 2:08
Great to have you on the channel, Debbie
I always fly with a book or magazine - not digital!! You never know when the airplane wifi or entertainment system will go down. Of course, pick something small so it isn't a space or weight issue. Usually something I can read just for the flight and be done with by the time I get to the other side. Reading also helps me fall asleep on those longer flights, as its part of my standard bedtime routine at home.
I agree. Half the time, I can't connect. A book is easy to bring. And no blue light that keeps you awake.
Yes, please do a video with all the things you bring on a flight. Thank you!
You got it!
Thanks, as always, for your great video! And yes, I’d love to see a video where you show us everything you pack in your carry-on bag.
You are so welcome! Will do!
@@PortableProfessional me too
me too!
Using your sunglasses as a phone stand is genius. I never thought of that. Yes please do a video of what you bring onto a plane in your personal item bag. I found that having my headphones as well as my Kindle are really useful for me on flights.
Surprised that you failed to mention earplugs and sleep masks. Earplugs are great, especially when there's a screaming/crying baby onboard. On a long-haul flight, the sleep mask is a must.
I use an electric toothbrush & pack one in my luggage along with toothpaste (a checked bag). But for my personal bag on the plane I carry a cheap travel toothbrush and some baking soda in a tiny jar container. Baking soda is a great alternative to toothpaste & freshens your breath, too. Great idea for bags in the seat pocket. I take grocery bags rolled into tight balls & carry them in a snack size ziplock bag for trash, but never thought of putting one in the seatback pocket.
The bag in the seat back pocket is such a great idea! Thanks!!
Glad you liked it!
Wired buds tip: KBEAR KS2. Cheap, good sound quality, little bit of exra bass wich will help with aircraft noise. You can't go wrong!
This video is short and sweet. I like the USB A to USB c adapter, garbage bag, and USB A-bluetooth adapter w/ earpieces. Let's hope we don't lose the earbuds. I definitely want to see your video on what you pack in your personal bag when you travel. I love 'What's in my bag" videos.
Thanks so much! Working on that next video!
Scent oil in case someone near you takes off their shoes and have smelly feet. There are also passengers that didn’t shower or wash their clothes for the flight. Put that scent oil on a cloth tissue and scarf it around your neck
Love all of these, especially the plastic bag in the seat pocket. My must haves are my book, chapstick, hand lotion, pashmina and disinfectant wipes.
Thanks for sharing!! Love the pashmina idea!
Another great video! Thanks Megan. Single use Purell packets is one number in my book. I bought a box of 125 for my last international trip and they saved me from so many germs. You just has to be careful to no squeeze or squish them. I always put them in the small snack zip lock bag in my purse. The USB adapter is a close number two. I learned that one the hard way a few years ago when I got stuck using the horrible free airplane headsets. Yes, I would love to see the “what’s in your personal bag?” More cameos of Ollie please. ❤ 🐶
Loved reading this, Jennifer (Ollie is also flattered)! Oh sounds like I need to stock up on some purell packs!! Thanks for the tip. Great to have you on the channel as always. Safe travels!
I bring a Mini Red LED Keychain Flashlight on a small carabiner to search for my "stuff and things" without disturbing my fellow passengers.. P.S. On a side note - don't save any "in-flight" food or risk being sniffed and spotted by Fido going through security screening. We recently were delayed for 45 minutes and our ham sandwich (provided by the airline) was dumped in the garbage.
The cases for your contact lenses are great containers for small doses of toothpaste and creams you might need. Just don't confuse them when putting away your contacts 😂
That mix up would not be good!
I know my comment is not timely, but I'll add it anyway. WONDERFUL you went to see your folks! I wish I had visited my family more, but time has a way of passing too quickly, and now some are gone. I hope you had a great time!!
Thanks so much! It was a wonderful time together!
I don't think I'm allowed to brand-name drop but earplugs for pressure rather than noise. It makes a big difference, mostly in landings. Chap stick! I always figure I can go without it but the air is so dry that my lips are like sandpaper by the end of the flight.
Never drink coffee or tea on a plane - water tanks rarely cleaned and water is 'hot' but not boiled - can be risky!!! Best to get some hot water at an airport coffee shop for your personal 'mug' and take it with you onboard if you wish - stays hot for a long time and pretty sure it's better and safer than what you get on the plane!
No matter jow long the flight, I have my knitting. Socks are so easy to pack in my personal item and i get a jump on gifts.
For long flights, make sure you have noice canceling headphones. The constant drone of the engines causes more fatigue than one might imagine. Carry an extra battery, and bring your own source of music. Do not rely on your phone. I take my iPod. It has way more space than my phone, plus I don’t need to worry about being able to charge the phone as I only use it as a phone. I also take an iPad. Way bigger screen than the tiny phone.
Waterholds/tanks on aircraft are not worth the risk. I go for canned or bottled beverages only. Safer.
I always bring a sweater. Peppermint Vanilla tea sounds wonderful! I always like carry-on bag videos. 🌺✈️ Heidi
Glad you enjoyed it! Try that tea...so good!
I love your channel Megan. I do a lot of traveling as well since I was in my 20’s, I’m now 54 & you’re on point on your tips. Just a slight correction on the seat back pockets, flight attendants don’t clean the airplane, as soon as the airplane lands, there’s a cleaning crew on the ground that’s waiting for the plane to be cleaned.
I wear a SCOTTeVEST travel hoodie that has multiple pockets in different parts of the garment, it holds everything i need for a 14hr flight. That includes gum, iPod, small foldable NC headphones, pen, aspirin and guafinesin tablets in case i get nasal congestion. It could hold my iPad mini if I so desired. I also recommend carrying a small TSA approved tweezers if you wear earbuds with removable tips, those things can get stuck in your ears at rhe most inopportune times. Tweezers work well for plucking them out.
I do similarly but use a gardening vest I bought for walks in the pandemic. Holds a lot and spares me the awkward contortions needed to get something out of the bag at my feet.
Got same vest . Love it !
Need to add the USB A to C connection to my list, as I don’t have one yet. Will also add the peppermint vanilla tea as well. Instead of gum, I usually bring ginger candies in case of an upset stomach. Airport food isn’t the best, and these work well. Thanks as always, Megan!
🥰❤Do you have the link to purchase USB to usb-c adapter
If you decide to buy one, look for one that passes only power and not data. Never trust publicly accessible USB ports as they may have been tampered to install malware. While not as easy to tamper with on a plane, it's much easier to do at hotels and waiting areas. Fortunately, a lot of corporate cybersecurity training is now covering this attack vector.
I use press n’ seal to make little lotion or toothpaste paks
I always have my Bluetooth Noise Canceling Headphones and my MP3 player. 12 hours on the MP3 player and 24 hours on the Headphones.
Yes, I take the Headphones of when talking with the Flight Attendant.
Thank you so very much for your hacks, especially the airplane Bluetooth adapter. Now, I will not have to travel with my bulky headphones anymore! 😊
Happy to help! Enjoy your travels!
I use wispies. I think they are made by Colgate. Small, has a dry toothbrush on it which is activated by saliva. Also, no need for spitting
Ear plugs. I used to get migraines the day after every time I flew. I started wearing ear plugs during take-off and landing. It helps with the plugged ear from pressure changes and now I don't get migraines the next day. Also Colgate Wisps. They act as a small single-use tooth brush and have a toothpick on the end.
I realize the bag you got from Ollie was most certainly unused, but I think I'll use something like a sandwich bag to avoid the thought of using toothpaste from a dog poop bag🙂
🤣🤣
I was merely thinking tbat those bags are certainly not “food safe” so thanks for the sandwich bag idea. I did like someone else’s comment about a roll of dog bags for other airplane uses though!
Noise canceling headphones. I currently use Apple Airpod Max, complete with a headphone cable so I can plug it into my iPod 5th generation (reworked) or the in-flight entertainment system. Cuts engine noise, cuts out screaming children, and lets me relax with my favorite music.
Oh, I also swear by Kindle e-readers. It's loaded up with books.
The battery life of the iPod and Kindle make it idea for long flights. Far more than a iPhone or iPad.
Eye lubricants, floss, tissue, tiny nail cutter, tiny flashlight, hard menthol candies, shawl.
I bring a battery pack that I charge from the USB port and charge my devices from that. It isolates your device from the USB port (more important in airports) and will usually charge your device much faster.
Toothpaste hack…. Most dentists give out tiny tubes that last about 1-2 weeks, just ask your dentist for an extra…. Last time I went to Cuba, (like 7 yrs ago) I told my dentist I wanted to bring gifts for the resort staff, he gave me handfuls of toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss and made me promise to give them away. I thought he was nuts, but my housekeeping lady was thrilled!
Chapstick, lotion, and wipes. Love the idea of a plastic bag in the seat pocket because I have seen people put dirty diapers in the seat pocket!
I’ve had and airline - Alaska - deny me hot water. Said it was only for first class. I was shocked to say the least.
Something I just bought is a phone clip which holds the phone at eye level and is attached to the back of the seat in front of you. It folds up easily to store when not in use and prevents a sore neck from always looking down at the tray if that is where you view your phone from. Don't know if can get similar for a tablet.
For me, toothbrush/paste is way too much hassle - it can wait - but the bigger issue here is that if you are going to encourage brushing teeth you ought to wan people to NOT USE THE WATER IN THE LAVATORY TO BRUSH OR RINSE WITH as that water is not potable (drinkable)!!! So people should only brush teeth if they have some bottled water to rinse with!!! But like I said - it's just not worth it to do something that isn't necessary and that can wait until the flight is over and you can get to a bathroom or, better yet, your hotel or home.
#1 for me is a good audio book
Great ideas! Thank you.
as someone who is allergic to chewing gum, another tip for those who can't use it is to use those nose sprays for colds. They're often within the liquid limit and they work like a charm in desperate situations!
Great tips, but we want to see more of Ollie!
Have you ever heard of Juice Jacking? I never use a public USB port without first connecting an adapter that blocks data.
Good advice but I'd get a USB-A to USB-C adapter that comes as a short cable, the same length as an audio to USB-C adapter, as there's a good chance that you'll drop the tiny one in the video and not be able to find it or worse have someone step on it and crush it. Might also be a good idea to carry a small USB drive to back up your laptop.
I'd also add lip balm. a small container of moisturizer, hand sanitizer, and a small container of baby wipes, to wipe down the tray table (top, back, sides & locking latch), armrests and touchscreen TV screen, and a little bottle or ziploc back of painkillers, OTC or Rx, and maybe something to help you sleep like metatonin, 5-HTP or Rx pills.
Most of these items will probably not be needed on most flights but you never know, and the peace of mind that having them gives makes for a much more relaxed flight experience.
I've never been afraid of flying but the older i get the more stressed out I get from even thinking of flying, not for safety reasons but because it's so stressful what will packing, getting to the airport, checking in, security, waiting at the gate, boarding and stowing you carry-on, sitting in a tight seat (if you're in economy), dry air, ambient noise, cold temperatures, crying babies, kids hitting the back of your seat, people reclining in front of you, bad food. We all know the drill. So every little thing helps.
If you travel "Sardine" [oh sorry, Economy] Class on a long haul, consider Low dose enteric-coated aspirin. This helps to prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis. Opportunities to work-out on a crowded plane can be limited. So get plenty of exercise before and after the flight. Senior folks are more likely to get DVT, but being younger does not make you totally immune. There are exercises that you can do in your seat that can help with DVT and other health/comfort problems that the travelling sardine may encounter.
I carry Colgate Wisps. Great for a quick tooth-brushing and there is a pick on the other end of it.
Nice! thanks:)
Good suggestion on the tea packets!
Great suggestions! I love the toothpaste in the bag hack. I always keep Sea Bands and ginger chews with me in case of air sickness.
#1 thing in my bag Noise Cancelling headphones , Great for getting rid of the jet noise , passengers talking & adds a quite environment to listen to movies, music or just sleep.
Peace and quiet! Happy travels!
This is great! Thank you!
My pleasure! Glad you liked it!
Dude wipes, light and heavy snacks, reading materials, and lotion are must haves!
Fantastic tips!!
Thanks! Glad you like them!
I just got a new item called a FLIGHT FLAP. It’s a piece of bendable aluminum that you can bend into a stand for your phone. Apparently you can use the tray table to “hang it” so that its at eye level.
Wow! Interesting product and so simple! Thanks for sharing!
Great tips, though I just bring a travel size toothpaste tube. Will bring a plastic bag to line to seat back pocket, very ingenious! I always have des infecting wipes and or hand sanitizer spray; eye mask; sweater or large scarf to keep me warm; gum; a couple of types of small ear head phones; a book of magazine; herbal or non caffeinated bags and ask for hot water; a snack ; reusable water bottle ; a mask (yes, and will keep that going ); travel pack paper tissues; extra dailies contact lenses instead of ones needing solution ; lip balm; hand cream or lotion ; and surely other stuff I’m forgetting
Very organized! Happy travels, Lisane!
I used to ask for hot water to prepare my instant oatmeal, but then I heard you shouldn’t ask for water in an airplane because they never clean where the water is contained... So... What do you think?
I'd love to see the everything video for in-flight!
I always have my favorite set of wired headphones and some offline Pandora stations in my phone. This way I can listen to my favorite music while in flight. I rarely use the seat-back pocket so I don't fuss with it. For a change I'm going to try flying in a window seat on my next few flights. I rarely need the restroom and I'm hoping to be able to sleep. I'd love to see a video of what you pack in your carry-on!
Great tips and video as always! Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Yes, a video on what you pack in your personal item bag would be great. Also, it sounds like it’s obvious, but how does one use the airline app during flight if you don’t have WiFi? Thanks!
Thanks for another great video with lots of clever ideas.
I also bring the storage box for my hearing aids - so I can take them out when I want to and put them somewhere safe.
Thanks for the tips 😀 ❤🥀❤
You made my day!
Yes please for the video of everything in your personal item bath :). I enjoy your videos!
I always bring a packet of hot chocolate because no carrier stocks it onboard, and it is freezing on planes. Additionally, I bring single packs of lysol wipes, and 2 small garbage bags. One for the seatback pocket, and a smaller one for garbage.
Love the hot chocolate! Thanks for watching!
@@PortableProfessional 🙂🙂
You always have the neatest tips!
Thanks so much!
Instead of toothpaste, I bring pocket toothbrushes which are impregnated with toothpaste. Before I discovered those, I accomplished the same thing by putting toothpaste on the toothbrush before putting the toothbrush cover on it and putting it in my bag.
Sanitizer wipes are a must too.
Thanks
Thanks, Megan. Are there links to purchase these items? I didn't see them in the description. Appreciate the information.
I've heard the hot water on planes is not the cleanest. Is this true?
The temperature should kill any microbes but the ice may be a different story, I never get ice in anything unless I am home.
Ice kills more germs as compared to hot water
Pls create a video of what gadgets and supplies you bring in your personal item bag for a flight. Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed watching!
Thank you You always have such useful and great ideas. Keep them coming.
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for the herbal tea tip especially and the blue tooth converter and the download airline app prior. This is by far the best preflight tip video I’ve seen.
Wisp disposable toothbrushes that have toothpaste in them, or put toothpaste in a contact lens case.
Both good options! Thanks, Carolyn!
Sony and Philips headphones are decent quality for their price and the lasted more than a year everyday usage the wire is also super long and the sound is so good and they kinda isolate sounds but of course not as much as noise cancelation wireless headphones but I still recommend them
I will be bringing the tea on my next flight. I've never thought to do that! Thanks for the tip.
You are welcome, Patricia! Enjoy that tea!
