Flight attendant here. Do NOT apply dry shampoo or nail polish on the plane. Dry shampoo will set off the fire alarm and nail polish is flammable, also smells horrible.
Hi Elizabeth - yes I agree. That’s why I said in the video that smells are stronger on airplanes and you should wait until you de-plane to apply anything with a scent. But you’ll likely want to use those things before going through customs if you want to feel refreshed after a long-haul.
One time on a flight me and my sister in law were sitting together and she wanted to paint her nails. We didn't think anything of it and she got 3 fingers done before a flight attendant told her people were complaining about the smell and about to pass out from it.
As a short person (1,57 cm), the "foot hammock" is a game changer! Really great video, now I'm preparing myself for two super long flights (7 hours and then 13 hours!) so this is very useful and helpful. Greetings from Bogota, Colombia :)
Sounds like you might have a really fun and exciting trip coming up - congratulations! I've never tried the foot hammock, but I am also short so it sounds right up my alley!
I note that you said polyester fabric is breathable. It actually is not, unless it is blended with breathable fibres like cotton. Because of its plastic fibers, polyester fabric's lack of permeability can make it feel hot and sticky in warm weather. So, if you insist on polyester, you should make sure to check the label for cotton also. Even when blended, it won't be as breathable as cotton alone, or merino wool.
That’s interesting! I find poly blends to be very comfortable and cooling, almost like silk! I personally hate traveling in cotton shirts because if I start to sweat, it doesn’t dry quickly and makes me feel gross throughout the travel day. But even worse is acrylic fibers for that. Merino wool and cashmere all the way for the top layer!
Great information! One thought, if you put your SPF in a container other than what it comes in, make sure light can’t get through, that is how it degrades and needs to be reapplied to your skin.
Really great point!!! Yes that is so true. If I put my SPF in one of the clear containers, it's then stored inside my tote bag or purse in the dark. But I'll be more mindful about any sun exposure when it's pulled out of the deep depths for application! Thanks!
I have never been on a long haul flight but have seen quite a few videos about it and this is the first one I have seen that have such great tips for what to bring. The SPF tip in particular was something I have never heard of and it is a great idea! Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you so much! I very much enjoyed your video as it is going to help me on my long flight to Nigeria from the US! I must say I have watched several travel videos recently, and I have enjoyed yours tremendously and it touched on some items that have not ever been discussed before. Thanks so much
I’m traveling to the Philippines in October. Thanks for your ideas. In addition to the “Staying Healthy” section, I have to bring my CPAP machine for my medical needs while asleep onboard
Yes, definitely important to bring that if you need it! So glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope you have a fantastic trip! I'm currently prepping for a long-haul flight later this month!
Thanks for the list! I like the things you mentioned be packed in my current favorite carry on which is bento bag from Nomad Lane. It is simply the best with a lot of features. It has trolley sleeve, a lot of compartments, and small enough to fit under the seat.
Thank you so much. This is the most practical and helpful packing list I have ever seen on RUclips. I have added several must-have items to my list based on your video. Great job organizing the list. It is very helpful 👍
Wow that will certainly be a long flight, but totally worth the trip because the UK is incredible! So glad to hear you found this info helpful for your trip prep! :)
Although it can save a lot of space, it might not be a good idea to put your meds in a plastic bag. It's best to keep them in the original packaging, as pills in bags might bring on extra screenings at border control.
Great suggestion - I agree that's definitely something to consider depending where you're travel. I personally have not had an issue with the way I pack the medications in a clear plastic bag (I've done this in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America). Since the pills are contained in their original packaging and simply removed from their cardboard boxes, it's usually fine since they're not loose. The exception is that sometimes I pack my OTC ibuprofen loose in a small canister without an issue because they pills themselves have labels on them. As a caution, if you have prescription medication, you should definitely always keep the pills inside the original bottle or package and have the prescription available in case you run into any questions or issues. But you make a good point to definitely do your research on the rules for the country you're visiting, because it might be handled differently by different security teams. Thanks Liesbeth!
@@MeansToTravel what about supplements? Like vitamin c, magnesium tablets, etc? Not sure how to pack them for travel to UK. On domestic flights ive never had an issue but no idea about international
Thank you for al this information 💖 definitely mentioning to not spray the dry shampoo or scents or etc. on the plane. I’m asthmatic and have a lower oxygen intake (even with clean fresh air I take in less oxygen than a regular person) and when you take that lower intake as 100% for me, getting in contact with irritating scents (perfume, smoke, spray deodorant, dry shampoo, hair spray, cleaning products, etc) that I’m not accustomed to (my mother used the same perfume on a daily basis ever since I was born and although I still react to it I don’t react as heavily to it anymore) my oxygen intake drops 90%. So I’m barely getting oxygen. That’s already exhausting out in the open in the fresh air, add to that a pressurised cabin and circulation air, that’s just .... i usually survive a flight without problems but when someone sprays something things get difficult and I am usually left with breathing with my scarf in front of my mouth and nose as well as taking a lot more medication than usual. I know it’s an unusual situation but you never know who is on the plane with you and seems perfectly fine but who can be struggling with something on the inside. Ps I’m not a native English speaker so sorry if my English isn’t great and sorry for the long post 😅
Thanks so much for sharing this information! I completely understand you'd want to avoid any additional oxygen intake issues. It is definitely important that we all consider the potential health needs of all the passengers around us as well as our own when traveling!
Some great tips, but the first remark about clothing made me giggle - polyester is not breathable. It’s true it won’t generally wrinkle, but rayon, silk, or cotton are breathable. In my opinion, merino wool is the best option. It regulates body temperature, does not hold body odors, comes in very light weights, and is extremely breathable.
Haha yes I hear you. I personally find my poly and poly blend sleeveless tops fairly breathable / thinner as well as faster drying from any sweat compared to other options like cotton tops. But I heard that historically polyester used to be really uncomfortable back in the 70s when it was popular. But these days a lot of my workout gear is even polyester and polyester blends! I agree Merino wool and cashmere are great for layers! I just traveled for a month in Europe with one cashmere sweater and it performed perfectly!
I love this video! I haven't ran across a "responsible adult" video. Like, hmmm. MELATONIN FOR A LONG FLIGHT?! Why didn't I think of that?!?! Breathe Right for my congestion in high altitude?! So glad I ran into this video.
Thank you so much for this amazing comment! It's comments like this one that really motivate me to make videos! So glad you found this video helpful, happy travels! :)
I try to wear shoes I can squeeze into and out of without having to tie and untie -- often you can't reach down there.Of course you figured this out after you've had to pad down to the filthy bathroom in your socks. I wear my thicker smart wool (merino) socks. block out light I bring a black t-shirt. I've paid over $40 for eye shades - they leaked as much light as the freebies. A black (or dark) T is always perfect -- for over twenty years. I bring a neck pillow. I know some scoff at them. An extra layer is a thin long sleever merino top. I pack multiple merino layers including underwear and socks. Nylon pants and shorts for very hot weather (shortly I'm heading to Vietnam from California). As soon as I can switch to the time at the destination. The shift usually works well if I have to stay awake through my departure (home) time. Awake over 24 hours arrive home at 9:30 pm, I was up at 5 am to go to work the next day. Sometimes even this doesn't work. I like coffee at the destination morning time. Often the cabin crew will black out the cabin at the departure night which helps no one. I stay awake, headlamp, window shade cracked a little, some obsessive task to keep me awake. (I once wrote for about 6 hours to stay awake. No memory what I wrote.) If you've ever needed compression socks always have a pair even if you haven't needed them in a while. For the past three + years I've worn an N95 mask. You're in an enclosed tube with hundreds of other people. We've all heard absolutely bizarre things from people about disease transmission. I never want to show up at customs running a fever. (I was in Hong Kong at the beginning of Covid, left just as they were closing the border. I've never contracted it.) I put all my pocket stuff in baggies, then when I get to security I just slide out the bags and put them in the bin with my cell phone. If you need a dongle always bring two or three. You might not be able to find a replacement. I had only one in the UK, had to take my iPhone out of the case to plug in the headphones. Yep, it cracked the glass. Noise Cancelling headphones like AirPods take about half the stress out of flying by reducing the engine noise. Even if I"m not listening to anything I'll leave ear buds in to reduced the engine noise. Headlamp. Get a good one, it's worth it. I've got a Petzel Actik Core. USB rechargable. Cheap ones are dim and useless for reading. I like Melatonin. About 45 minutes to 90 minutes after I take it I consistently feel sleepy. But it doesn't keep me asleep. I have a sound machine at home that is terrific. I'll listen to an audio book I've listened to before, this can help me stay asleep. WetOnes are great. I always carry hand sanitizer. If I need a more stringent clean, I'll drip some alcohol hand sanitizer on a wetone. Water bottle. Never ever have anything in the bottle before you go into security. (If you stop at Starbucks get a cup.) You'll forget some dregs in the bottom and they'll tell you leave the line or throw away your bottle. After security fill up your bottle. A drinking fountain will have better water than the plane. There is a huge difference between the water in the bathroom and what they'll serve you. Never drink the stuff in the bathroom. I won't even rinse my toothbrush with it. Food on a flight is for fidgeting. It's best just not to bother eating but drink water and coffee. I fidget and I eat.... I never lock my luggage, I'll put tape over the opening side, or I just bought some bright colored straps so I can recognize it. In over 50 years I've never had anything go missing, even when they sent my luggage to the wrong city. If you tape your luggage and they open it, you'll see immediately that the tape is disturbed so you can immediately check if anything is missing. Happy landing.
Wow thanks so much for ALLLL of these tips!!! Really appreciate it, and I'm glad you liked the video! My husband and I were in Amsterdam at the beginning of Covid, and similarly, we also flew home the day the borders shut. Those were crazy times.
Neck pillows I travel on both airbus and Boeing the head rest has a bending type mechanism that you can shape about your head by hand locking your head into a resting position . If travelling to the Middle East check to see if your medication is legal in that country. Even if you have it in your system.
For me, the headrests you are talking about on the airplane seats are much too high to support my neck and prevent strain. They don’t do much for me, unfortunately.
From Australia ‘long haul’ means arduous or hard. I prefer to think of long flights as a relaxing part of the holiday where we can eat, rest and chat. Flights should be part of the holiday rather than a means to the end. Thx for your practical tips.
I love this thinking, and completely agree! I've found through my travels that the more calm and collected you can be during the "getting there" process, the more enjoyable the entire trip feels! It can even start while you're packing, haha! Thanks for the great comment! :)
As you know, we have done a nice amount of long distance flights as well. Me and Kimberly pack rather different. Will talk about it in another live stream perhaps? Anyways, interesting to see what someone else brings along.
Wow, such a surprise to hear you bring different things! I don't know what I would do without all of these items on long-haul flights - I use all of them! Would love to hear what you guys bring to stay comfortable, fresh, and able to sleep!
Hope you have a fantastic time! Ireland is a lot of fun. :) My RUclipsr friend Mark from @Wolters World has been putting out some videos with Ireland tips in preparation for St. Patrick's Day coming up, so be sure to check those out if you're researching for your stay!
Wow that sounds like an epic trip! I still recommend packing all of the items in this video (plus also bring your PPE, since this was filmed pre-covid). Then, just do your best to alternate between sleeping, watching movies, and reading. You may also want to plan out the meals you will eat at each airport, since the in-flight meal options will likely be limited. Enjoy your adventure!!!
Hi Eliz, we "met" on Wolters World Live feed. For me being in New Zealand long haul is over 9 hours, our nearest neighbour (Australia) is 4 hours away hours, the flights I normal take are over 24 hours, with three flights to get to Europe. I have never taken as much as you in my carry on its normally, laptop, cables, spare underwear that's it. That said I normally fly Business class to Europe so most of what you have in your bag the airline supplies, if I want it. Will keep going back though your videos, and try at some stage to catch up on live feed. cheers.
Yes, you certainly would be a long haul flight expert if you're a traveler from NZ! I really want to go there someday! Business class service is fantastic, and yes I agree that the airlines often provide many of the amenities I list for folks flying in that cabin. Excited to connect via the Wolters World chats, and I look forward to seeing you around on this channel as well! Thanks so much for the great comment!
So interesting! Both my husband and I have carried our Tweezerman tweezers through security at Heathrow and London City a bunch in the past! So sorry to hear she had that experience! According to the website Gov dot UK, tweezers are definitely allowed in both hand luggage and hold luggage, so that shouldn’t have happened if it was recent!
I have watched so many packing videos over the years (they are so much fun) but this one has been so great! Even though I already use most of the items and tips you mentioned, your delivery is like an visual packing list and so nice to reiterate important travel facts. Nice job and keep up the good work ^_^
Thanks so much Ashleigh, this comment made my day! I love watching packing videos too, and I'm so glad to hear that the organization in this video was super helpful! Happy travels!
Too true!!! Yeah, this video is more geared for either long-haul American travelers, or for flights overseas on US-based carriers. In general, I'm actually surprised that Europeans haven't protested yet about how strict the baggage rules are on European air carriers, especially the budget ones!
Hi just saw and watched and your list is so extensive Id never be able carry my carry on. I make sure I have a complete set of clothes eyewear and basics the rest go in my carry on luggage
Since I can’t really check a bag since I usually fly standby, this list is really helpful for me personally! I have everything I need right there with me in the under the seat bag, and then my roller with things like my clothes goes up overhead. I especially love this Briggs and Riley tote with a trolley sleeve, because I just pop it on top of my roller bag and wheel everything through the terminals! 😀
Well thought n laid out.. i grew up traveling and these are the best recommendations.. i also wear loose clothes n back support n compression stockings now that seats are super tight
Thanks so much for the great comment! So pleased you agree with the tips in the video, and thanks for adding a couple more! Always fun to hear what fellow travelers bring! I completely agree with the need for back support in the tight seats. On international flights I often use the airplane pillow supplied as lumbar support, and then use my Cabeau neck pillow for sleeping. :)
I deeply appreciate this video. I prefer to be over prepared than underprepared. You touched every single possible base that I might encounter on my upcoming 11 hour flight. Thank you!!
Thanks so much Rebecca!!! It's amazing comments like this that make me want to create more videos! Hope the upcoming 11 hour flight goes as smoothly as possible - happy travels! :)
Im taking a 2 hour flight, 4 hour layover, 16 hour flight, 10 hour layover, 2 hour flight, 5 hour drive. In a couple days during my time of the month :(
Wow what a trip! Where are you heading, and from where? Good luck with the multi-flight journey!!! And I've found that the hydrating sheet masks don't dry out the skin per se, but they sure can be silly to look at.
I personally do not carry any electronics that aren’t dual voltage, but otherwise YES! If you have an electronic that isn’t dual voltage, then you’ll definitely need a voltage converter (or you should leave that item at home).
Yes, right! That's why I say in the video that you bring a mini to take care of anything urgent (i.e chips). I agree definitely do not paint your actual nails on the plane! In my opinion it's actually less about annoying the flight attendants, and more about avoiding spreading the smell that would bother your seat neighbors. Touching up a chip quickly in the lav at least wouldn't have that issue. :-)
I dont think polarized sunglasses are the best option, not sure if they will block your vision with the entertainment screen in front of you. Sunglasses is a good idea.
Polarized are much better for your eyes during all aspects of your trip! My eye doctor specifically recommends them over regular shades. I think most people take sunglasses off when watching entertainment.
Hey Tish! Thanks for pointing out that I need to re-link this bag on this video! Yes, unfortunately ebags doesn't carry it anymore, but you can buy it on Amazon! Here is a link: amzn.to/3iRo2xh I still use this tote bag every time I travel and it still looks as good as ever! I actually just published a video on my channel last month called "Favorite HIGH QUALITY Luggage Items On Amazon" where it's featured...if you want to see what it looks like in 2021 after six months of full-time travel, haha! I still highly recommend! 😀🙏
Just a note in US TSA allows 4 fluid ounces for liquids for carry on. However much of the rest of the world the limit is 100 milli litres which is actually less. Also some countries insist that your liquids fit in a bag they provide.
I believe the USA's TSA limit is still 3.4 fl oz for all liquids, which is the same as 100 mL. That's the rule I've always been told! The only difference that I find is that the USA is a tad more lenient about fitting things in a quart size baggie. You're totally right that places like the UK make travelers re-pack their liquids into the bags they give away at the airport to make sure everything is in a quart size!
@@MeansToTravel thanks for the correction an American friend had problems at Heathrow and assured me that the US limit was 4 Fluid ounces obviously they had just the ever so generous and kind TSA letting her of with the larger quantities.🦄
Good news, you can! There was a moment after 2001 that you couldn’t, but now you can bring them (and I do it all the time)! You can also bring safety razors and really small scissors. Happy travels! 😀
@@chrissiepurcell617 Oh wow, no way! I've traveled hundreds of times with tweezers over the past ten years and have never had an issue! Which airport were you at? Tweezers are definitely labeled as safe to fly with on the TSA's website, so I'm curious why this would have occurred!
@@MeansToTravel I know, right? I use tweezers EVERY day for my sneaky chin hairs. It was both times I went to Rwanda but I don't remember the airline. First time was Houston, next was Seattle. I can't live without my tweezers...lol.
@@chrissiepurcell617 Same, they go with me everywhere! Wow, that's so interesting that the TSA took them! Glad you were able to find some replacements easily. So cool you've been to Rwanda twice!
Yeah bluetooth headphones should be fine according to the TSA, but just know that you can't use them to connect to any in-flight entertainment. So, I always carry headphones with the traditional prong as well!
Lmao it's probably really horrible, but I only drink water during flights. At least the times that they tend to give out food-- it doesn't give my stomach enough time to digest and I *always* vomit the food up during the descend.
Sorry to hear that - I have a family member who doesn’t eat on planes because her medication makes her nauseous as a side effect, so I know it happens to some people. If you can take anti-nausea medicines, the one I recommend is Bonine.
Yes, similar to spraying perfume, you want to use nail products in airport bathrooms before or after landing. The bottle I show in this video is not a polish - it is a mini of Nailtique formula 2 sealant (for chips or breaks). But it still has a scent, so I'd never use it at my seat.
I have a trip to Auckland coming up. 1 short haul and then two 11 hour long haul flights just to make it there. Any tips because were doing the two 11 hour flights emidiatly after eachother and I thinks mentally taxing so I really want to be prepared before I take these flights.
Wow that's a lot of flying for sure! My tips are: make sure to wear your compression socks on the long haul flights, try to get a full night's sleep, wear sunscreen, walk around the cabin frequently, drink LOTS of water, avoid drinking a lot of alcohol, bring items for freshening up like toothbrush and deodorant, bring a change of clothes in your cabin bag, wear layers to avoid feeling cold, and make sure you have a lot of different options for entertainment. Good luck, and have fun in Auckland!
@@MeansToTravel Yeah, it's a pretty brutal trip but i'll use ur tips without a doubt. I'm sitting inbetween my friends so they wont get mad at me for standup so often during the flight, I might just get some excercise during our 4 hour layover in hong kong. Should i bring earplugs or just a normal over-ear headset?
@@znek4288 Good question, I think that depends on how well you can sleep on airplanes. I'm a bit of a light sleeper, so I typically prefer headphones instead of ear plugs so I can have a relaxing playlist or white noise playing in my ear and drowning out the airplane sounds. But if you sleep easily on planes, ear plugs might be fine. :)
Hmm good question Deja! I’ve never weighed it, but once I put my laptop inside it, it can feel a bit heavy on my shoulders. Luckily my bag has the trolly sleeve I mentioned in the video to attach it to my carry-on bag, so I almost never carry it haha! You bring up a good point, though! I fly US-based airlines that don’t weigh my carry-ons, but if you’re flying on a carrier that has carry-on baggage weight rules, you’ll need to take weight into account!
Means To Travel I ask because I’m a smoker and the one I have now I have to carry on my shoulder all the way out side and back up. Sometimes more than once. I am going to invest in a bag like this one
Listen mate, you need face masks and nail files and tweezers and scissors just in case you need to do something URGENTLY. I mean if you clip a nail, you dont want to be waiting hours to file it do you? Or you might lose the finger.
I recognize this is sarcasm written by someone who has never had a professional vacation manicure ruined by a luggage handle. (Just assuming here, Kevin no last name!) HOWEVER, since the majority of people who have watched this video are my fellow women according to RUclips, I should now caveat that we cannot bring scissors with blades longer than 4 inches in a carry-on bag according TSA rules. Sorry Kev, they will be confiscated. 😉 Fun fact: an airport in Eastern Europe made a Christmas tree out of all the green scissors they collected at TSA security last year (hah!). Happy travels everyone!
@@MeansToTravel Im British, we like sarcasm :) Nothing was mean maliciously, just poking fun. On the fun fact - The security is only known as TSA in the US - not Europe :)
I got them at Target! RUclips doesn't allow links in the comments, but if you go to Target's website and search "3ct File Organizer with Snap Cover - UBrands" you should be able to find them, and they're only $4.99 for 3! Happy travels!
Please do not bring nail polish and do your nails on board. The smell is very strong and is not ideal to use it in small places like an airplane. Please be considerate for other passengers 🙏🙏🙏
Oh yes 100%, definitely don’t do your nails on board. I’ve only ever touched up a chip in the lav or during the layover. Doing your nails I agree would smell horrible, require top coat + color + base coat, and be a huge risk with potential turbulence!
Yeah I find that my high quality polyester and poly blend tank tops let through much more air than cotton shirts. Low quality polyester can be a real mixed bag, tho, I’ll admit (like the fabrics used in the 70s). But the absolute worst is wearing a cotton sweater on an airplane - misery!!!
The weight limit depends on the airline you fly! In the US, most of our bigger domestic airlines do not weigh cabin bags. However, airlines in other parts of the world will often have weight limits for carry-ons and personal items, so be sure to do your research!
Haha I know this comment was a joke, but I'll add that it's never good to take Ambien for a flight if you're unfamiliar with using it or there's a potential for issues/side effects. I had an old coworker whose roommate threatened her with a kitchen knife after the roommate took ambien for the first time, and then she didn't even remember doing it the next day. And that was on land within their apartment. 😬😬😬
I agree don't apply it on the plane! The scent is too strong for the cabin. But, I'll say that it's probably fine to fix a chip in your polish (like I mentioned in the video) in the bathroom at the airport.
Flight attendant here. Do NOT apply dry shampoo or nail polish on the plane. Dry shampoo will set off the fire alarm and nail polish is flammable, also smells horrible.
Hi Elizabeth - yes I agree. That’s why I said in the video that smells are stronger on airplanes and you should wait until you de-plane to apply anything with a scent. But you’ll likely want to use those things before going through customs if you want to feel refreshed after a long-haul.
I literally just thought I should do this when I go to Africa. I guess I won’t do that after all 😂
good advice, Elizabeth :)
Spraying perfume should also be banned.
Finally, someone mentioned garment shields! Brilliant!!
Haha thanks! And thanks for watching!
Nail polish on the plane might not be good. The strong smell may cause alarm.
Totally agree - definitely don’t want to paint your nails on the plane! But I’d say it’s probably okay to quickly touch up a chip in the lav. 😂
One time on a flight me and my sister in law were sitting together and she wanted to paint her nails. We didn't think anything of it and she got 3 fingers done before a flight attendant told her people were complaining about the smell and about to pass out from it.
I"ve seen many videos on packing and this one is by far the best one. Very well organized and helpful video. Thank you!
Thanks so much, what an inspirational complement! 💜🙏🏻
As a short person (1,57 cm), the "foot hammock" is a game changer! Really great video, now I'm preparing myself for two super long flights (7 hours and then 13 hours!) so this is very useful and helpful. Greetings from Bogota, Colombia :)
Sounds like you might have a really fun and exciting trip coming up - congratulations! I've never tried the foot hammock, but I am also short so it sounds right up my alley!
I note that you said polyester fabric is breathable. It actually is not, unless it is blended with breathable fibres like cotton. Because of its plastic fibers, polyester fabric's lack of permeability can make it feel hot and sticky in warm weather. So, if you insist on polyester, you should make sure to check the label for cotton also. Even when blended, it won't be as breathable as cotton alone, or merino wool.
That’s interesting! I find poly blends to be very comfortable and cooling, almost like silk! I personally hate traveling in cotton shirts because if I start to sweat, it doesn’t dry quickly and makes me feel gross throughout the travel day. But even worse is acrylic fibers for that. Merino wool and cashmere all the way for the top layer!
This was super helpful! I’m taking an 11 hour flight in a couple weeks; so I’ve been looking for some tips to surviving it relatively unscathed!
So glad to hear! Wow that sounds like a big trip, I hope you'll be visiting an exciting destination! Happy travels!
Great information! One thought, if you put your SPF in a container other than what it comes in, make sure light can’t get through, that is how it degrades and needs to be reapplied to your skin.
Really great point!!! Yes that is so true. If I put my SPF in one of the clear containers, it's then stored inside my tote bag or purse in the dark. But I'll be more mindful about any sun exposure when it's pulled out of the deep depths for application! Thanks!
I have never been on a long haul flight but have seen quite a few videos about it and this is the first one I have seen that have such great tips for what to bring. The SPF tip in particular was something I have never heard of and it is a great idea! Thank you 🙏🏻

So glad you liked it, Francesca! And thanks for the comment!! Enjoy your journey and your time in Nigeria! 😀
Exactly the bag I use! The only suggestion I would make is to have your local cobbler add a shoulder strap.
Yes you're so right - a cushy shoulder strap would be divine! But I still love this bag and have it with me on my trip right now! SOOOO DURABLE!
@@MeansToTravel agreed!
I’m traveling to the Philippines in
October. Thanks for your ideas. In addition to the “Staying Healthy” section, I have to bring my CPAP machine for my medical needs while asleep onboard
Yes, definitely important to bring that if you need it! So glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope you have a fantastic trip! I'm currently prepping for a long-haul flight later this month!

I’m asthmatic and have a lower oxygen intake (even with clean fresh air I take in less oxygen than a regular person) and when you take that lower intake as 100% for me, getting in contact with irritating scents (perfume, smoke, spray deodorant, dry shampoo, hair spray, cleaning products, etc) that I’m not accustomed to (my mother used the same perfume on a daily basis ever since I was born and although I still react to it I don’t react as heavily to it anymore) my oxygen intake drops 90%. So I’m barely getting oxygen. That’s already exhausting out in the open in the fresh air, add to that a pressurised cabin and circulation air, that’s just .... i usually survive a flight without problems but when someone sprays something things get difficult and I am usually left with breathing with my scarf in front of my mouth and nose as well as taking a lot more medication than usual.
I know it’s an unusual situation but you never know who is on the plane with you and seems perfectly fine but who can be struggling with something on the inside.
Ps I’m not a native English speaker so sorry if my English isn’t great and sorry for the long post 😅
Thanks so much for sharing this information! I completely understand you'd want to avoid any additional oxygen intake issues. It is definitely important that we all consider the potential health needs of all the passengers around us as well as our own when traveling!
Some great tips, but the first remark about clothing made me giggle - polyester is not breathable. It’s true it won’t generally wrinkle, but rayon, silk, or cotton are breathable. In my opinion, merino wool is the best option. It regulates body temperature, does not hold body odors, comes in very light weights, and is extremely breathable.
Haha yes I hear you. I personally find my poly and poly blend sleeveless tops fairly breathable / thinner as well as faster drying from any sweat compared to other options like cotton tops. But I heard that historically polyester used to be really uncomfortable back in the 70s when it was popular. But these days a lot of my workout gear is even polyester and polyester blends! I agree Merino wool and cashmere are great for layers! I just traveled for a month in Europe with one cashmere sweater and it performed perfectly!
I love this video! I haven't ran across a "responsible adult" video. Like, hmmm. MELATONIN FOR A LONG FLIGHT?! Why didn't I think of that?!?! Breathe Right for my congestion in high altitude?! So glad I ran into this video.
Thank you so much for this amazing comment! It's comments like this one that really motivate me to make videos! So glad you found this video helpful, happy travels! :)
I try to wear shoes I can squeeze into and out of without having to tie and untie -- often you can't reach down there.Of course you figured this out after you've had to pad down to the filthy bathroom in your socks. I wear my thicker smart wool (merino) socks. block out light I bring a black t-shirt. I've paid over $40 for eye shades - they leaked as much light as the freebies. A black (or dark) T is always perfect -- for over twenty years. I bring a neck pillow. I know some scoff at them. An extra layer is a thin long sleever merino top. I pack multiple merino layers including underwear and socks. Nylon pants and shorts for very hot weather (shortly I'm heading to Vietnam from California).
As soon as I can switch to the time at the destination. The shift usually works well if I have to stay awake through my departure (home) time. Awake over 24 hours arrive home at 9:30 pm, I was up at 5 am to go to work the next day. Sometimes even this doesn't work. I like coffee at the destination morning time. Often the cabin crew will black out the cabin at the departure night which helps no one. I stay awake, headlamp, window shade cracked a little, some obsessive task to keep me awake. (I once wrote for about 6 hours to stay awake. No memory what I wrote.)
If you've ever needed compression socks always have a pair even if you haven't needed them in a while.
For the past three + years I've worn an N95 mask. You're in an enclosed tube with hundreds of other people. We've all heard absolutely bizarre things from people about disease transmission. I never want to show up at customs running a fever. (I was in Hong Kong at the beginning of Covid, left just as they were closing the border. I've never contracted it.)
I put all my pocket stuff in baggies, then when I get to security I just slide out the bags and put them in the bin with my cell phone.
If you need a dongle always bring two or three. You might not be able to find a replacement. I had only one in the UK, had to take my iPhone out of the case to plug in the headphones. Yep, it cracked the glass. Noise Cancelling headphones like AirPods take about half the stress out of flying by reducing the engine noise. Even if I"m not listening to anything I'll leave ear buds in to reduced the engine noise. Headlamp. Get a good one, it's worth it. I've got a Petzel Actik Core. USB rechargable. Cheap ones are dim and useless for reading.
I like Melatonin. About 45 minutes to 90 minutes after I take it I consistently feel sleepy. But it doesn't keep me asleep. I have a sound machine at home that is terrific. I'll listen to an audio book I've listened to before, this can help me stay asleep.
WetOnes are great. I always carry hand sanitizer. If I need a more stringent clean, I'll drip some alcohol hand sanitizer on a wetone.
Water bottle. Never ever have anything in the bottle before you go into security. (If you stop at Starbucks get a cup.) You'll forget some dregs in the bottom and they'll tell you leave the line or throw away your bottle. After security fill up your bottle. A drinking fountain will have better water than the plane. There is a huge difference between the water in the bathroom and what they'll serve you. Never drink the stuff in the bathroom. I won't even rinse my toothbrush with it.
Food on a flight is for fidgeting. It's best just not to bother eating but drink water and coffee. I fidget and I eat....
I never lock my luggage, I'll put tape over the opening side, or I just bought some bright colored straps so I can recognize it. In over 50 years I've never had anything go missing, even when they sent my luggage to the wrong city. If you tape your luggage and they open it, you'll see immediately that the tape is disturbed so you can immediately check if anything is missing. Happy landing.
Wow thanks so much for ALLLL of these tips!!! Really appreciate it, and I'm glad you liked the video!
My husband and I were in Amsterdam at the beginning of Covid, and similarly, we also flew home the day the borders shut. Those were crazy times.
Neck pillows I travel on both airbus and Boeing the head rest has a bending type mechanism that you can shape about your head by hand locking your head into a resting position . If travelling to the Middle East check to see if your medication is legal in that country. Even if you have it in your system.
For me, the headrests you are talking about on the airplane seats are much too high to support my neck and prevent strain. They don’t do much for me, unfortunately.
Super helpful, thank you! We have a 14 hour flight later this year so I'm starting my prep early 😂
So glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you have a great flight! 😀
Thank you for the info. Traveling a 13 hour flight in 2 weeks.
Glad it was helpful! 😀
This is great! Thanks for all the suggestions! Very well planned and thought out :)
So glad to help! 😀 Hope you have a fun trip coming up that you’re planning for!
From Australia ‘long haul’ means arduous or hard. I prefer to think of long flights as a relaxing part of the holiday where we can eat, rest and chat. Flights should be part of the holiday rather than a means to the end. Thx for your practical tips.
I love this thinking, and completely agree! I've found through my travels that the more calm and collected you can be during the "getting there" process, the more enjoyable the entire trip feels! It can even start while you're packing, haha! Thanks for the great comment! :)
As you know, we have done a nice amount of long distance flights as well. Me and Kimberly pack rather different. Will talk about it in another live stream perhaps? Anyways, interesting to see what someone else brings along.
Wow, such a surprise to hear you bring different things! I don't know what I would do without all of these items on long-haul flights - I use all of them! Would love to hear what you guys bring to stay comfortable, fresh, and able to sleep!
Going on a 7 hour flight to Dublin ireland this Sunday. So excited but nervous. Longest flight I’ve been on was 2 hours to arizona.
Hope you have a fantastic time! Ireland is a lot of fun. :)
My RUclipsr friend Mark from @Wolters World has been putting out some videos with Ireland tips in preparation for St. Patrick's Day coming up, so be sure to check those out if you're researching for your stay!
How'd it go? Any tips?
I have a flight too Alaska coming up. It is 11 hours long in total with 2 lay overs. Your tips helped a lot! Thanks!
Wow that sounds like an epic trip! I still recommend packing all of the items in this video (plus also bring your PPE, since this was filmed pre-covid). Then, just do your best to alternate between sleeping, watching movies, and reading. You may also want to plan out the meals you will eat at each airport, since the in-flight meal options will likely be limited. Enjoy your adventure!!!
Means To Travel Thank you! I will. Thanks again for the tips.
Incredibly thorough and helpful!
Thank you for making this video! 💜
So glad you enjoyed it! Happy travels! 😀
Hi Eliz, we "met" on Wolters World Live feed. For me being in New Zealand long haul is over 9 hours, our nearest neighbour (Australia) is 4 hours away hours, the flights I normal take are over 24 hours, with three flights to get to Europe. I have never taken as much as you in my carry on its normally, laptop, cables, spare underwear that's it. That said I normally fly Business class to Europe so most of what you have in your bag the airline supplies, if I want it. Will keep going back though your videos, and try at some stage to catch up on live feed. cheers.
Yes, you certainly would be a long haul flight expert if you're a traveler from NZ! I really want to go there someday! Business class service is fantastic, and yes I agree that the airlines often provide many of the amenities I list for folks flying in that cabin.
Excited to connect via the Wolters World chats, and I look forward to seeing you around on this channel as well! Thanks so much for the great comment!
Super informative! ☺️ FYI to anyone from the UK the UK customs won’t allow tweezers in your carry on luggage, that’s how my mum lost her good pair.
So interesting! Both my husband and I have carried our Tweezerman tweezers through security at Heathrow and London City a bunch in the past! So sorry to hear she had that experience! According to the website Gov dot UK, tweezers are definitely allowed in both hand luggage and hold luggage, so that shouldn’t have happened if it was recent!
I have watched so many packing videos over the years (they are so much fun) but this one has been so great! Even though I already use most of the items and tips you mentioned, your delivery is like an visual packing list and so nice to reiterate important travel facts. Nice job and keep up the good work ^_^
Thanks so much Ashleigh, this comment made my day! I love watching packing videos too, and I'm so glad to hear that the organization in this video was super helpful! Happy travels!
Very thorough! Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 😀
One of the best videos on what to pack on your carry on or personal bag. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this fabulous compliment! Glad you enjoyed, and happy travels!
Good luck getting that huge bag on any economy European flight without paying for it. A ladies large handbag is the maximum.
Too true!!! Yeah, this video is more geared for either long-haul American travelers, or for flights overseas on US-based carriers. In general, I'm actually surprised that Europeans haven't protested yet about how strict the baggage rules are on European air carriers, especially the budget ones!
Hi just saw and watched and your list is so extensive Id never be able carry my carry on. I make sure I have a complete set of clothes eyewear and basics the rest go in my carry on luggage
Since I can’t really check a bag since I usually fly standby, this list is really helpful for me personally! I have everything I need right there with me in the under the seat bag, and then my roller with things like my clothes goes up overhead. I especially love this Briggs and Riley tote with a trolley sleeve, because I just pop it on top of my roller bag and wheel everything through the terminals! 😀
long haul flight fly higher, LOL!!!
Haha yep! They're usually closer to the 40K ft altitudes, while shorter flights are often closer to 36K ft. Gotta reach that helpful jetstream! :)
Well thought n laid out.. i grew up traveling and these are the best recommendations.. i also wear loose clothes n back support n compression stockings now that seats are super tight
Thanks so much for the great comment! So pleased you agree with the tips in the video, and thanks for adding a couple more! Always fun to hear what fellow travelers bring!
I completely agree with the need for back support in the tight seats. On international flights I often use the airplane pillow supplied as lumbar support, and then use my Cabeau neck pillow for sleeping. :)
I deeply appreciate this video. I prefer to be over prepared than underprepared. You touched every single possible base that I might encounter on my upcoming 11 hour flight. Thank you!!
Thanks so much Rebecca!!! It's amazing comments like this that make me want to create more videos! Hope the upcoming 11 hour flight goes as smoothly as possible - happy travels! :)
I agree on what you said: she covered most; even the umbrella 🌂 ❤d that!
So helpful- thanks!
Of course! So glad!
Nice job , you have it all down pat.
Haha thanks Darion! It's certainly been trial and error over the years, but I've got an air-tight system now!
Absolutely AWESOME video...such great information and so well organized! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much Kimberley! I'm so glad you found this video helpful, and that you let me know!!! Happy travels! :)
Very helpful, thank you very much!
Thanks so much, Tereza! Glad you enjoyed it, and happy travels!
Fantastic video, really informative 😃✨🫶🏻
So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! 😀
Im taking a 2 hour flight, 4 hour layover, 16 hour flight, 10 hour layover, 2 hour flight, 5 hour drive. In a couple days during my time of the month :(
I really enjoyed your video, but i would like to point out that face masks actually dry out your skin more when on a plane.
Wow what a trip! Where are you heading, and from where? Good luck with the multi-flight journey!!!
And I've found that the hydrating sheet masks don't dry out the skin per se, but they sure can be silly to look at.
@@MeansToTravel thank you! i will definitely try a face mask on the way back.
well spoken :) very detailed :)
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!
You mentioned a plug adapter, but please remember to bring a voltage converter
I personally do not carry any electronics that aren’t dual voltage, but otherwise YES! If you have an electronic that isn’t dual voltage, then you’ll definitely need a voltage converter (or you should leave that item at home).
Nail polish on a plane is a huge no no. Its a good way to get the ire up of the flight sttenndant
Yes, right! That's why I say in the video that you bring a mini to take care of anything urgent (i.e chips). I agree definitely do not paint your actual nails on the plane! In my opinion it's actually less about annoying the flight attendants, and more about avoiding spreading the smell that would bother your seat neighbors. Touching up a chip quickly in the lav at least wouldn't have that issue. :-)
I dont think polarized sunglasses are the best option, not sure if they will block your vision with the entertainment screen in front of you. Sunglasses is a good idea.
Polarized are much better for your eyes during all aspects of your trip! My eye doctor specifically recommends them over regular shades. I think most people take sunglasses off when watching entertainment.
Oh the dry air... my nose!!!! ouch ouch ouch
YES!!! 100%
Hi, which tote is that? The link doesn't work to Ebags. they don't carry it any more. Briggs & Riley Large Tote or Weekender? thanks. It's fabulous
Hey Tish! Thanks for pointing out that I need to re-link this bag on this video! Yes, unfortunately ebags doesn't carry it anymore, but you can buy it on Amazon! Here is a link: amzn.to/3iRo2xh
I still use this tote bag every time I travel and it still looks as good as ever! I actually just published a video on my channel last month called "Favorite HIGH QUALITY Luggage Items On Amazon" where it's featured...if you want to see what it looks like in 2021 after six months of full-time travel, haha! I still highly recommend! 😀🙏
Great tips!
Thanks so much Laura! I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed this video! Great to connect!
Very helpful! Thanks so much ☺️
Thanks so much Suzanne! So glad to hear! 🙏🏻😀
Thanks alot
Happy to help! This was filmed a while ago so you'll want PPE now as well!
Love your video very helpful!
So glad to hear it was helpful! Happy travels! :)
Just a note in US TSA allows 4 fluid ounces for liquids for carry on. However much of the rest of the world the limit is 100 milli litres which is actually less. Also some countries insist that your liquids fit in a bag they provide.
I believe the USA's TSA limit is still 3.4 fl oz for all liquids, which is the same as 100 mL. That's the rule I've always been told! The only difference that I find is that the USA is a tad more lenient about fitting things in a quart size baggie. You're totally right that places like the UK make travelers re-pack their liquids into the bags they give away at the airport to make sure everything is in a quart size!
@@MeansToTravel thanks for the correction an American friend had problems at Heathrow and assured me that the US limit was 4 Fluid ounces obviously they had just the ever so generous and kind TSA letting her of with the larger quantities.🦄
@@neilmorrison7356 Hah, yeah. You def don't realize how generous and kind the TSA is until you go thru other countries' securities! 😆😆
really good video - but i dont think we can bring tweezers on board the flight....
Good news, you can! There was a moment after 2001 that you couldn’t, but now you can bring them (and I do it all the time)! You can also bring safety razors and really small scissors. Happy travels! 😀
They took my tweezers in 2012 and 2015 and after security, I went to the store and bought another pair.
@@chrissiepurcell617 Oh wow, no way! I've traveled hundreds of times with tweezers over the past ten years and have never had an issue! Which airport were you at? Tweezers are definitely labeled as safe to fly with on the TSA's website, so I'm curious why this would have occurred!
@@MeansToTravel I know, right? I use tweezers EVERY day for my sneaky chin hairs. It was both times I went to Rwanda but I don't remember the airline. First time was Houston, next was Seattle. I can't live without my tweezers...lol.
@@chrissiepurcell617 Same, they go with me everywhere! Wow, that's so interesting that the TSA took them! Glad you were able to find some replacements easily. So cool you've been to Rwanda twice!
Thanks
You’re welcome! Happy travels!
Some good ideas here
Thanks Victoria! So glad you enjoyed! :)
Love this video great one. Hope to see more
Thank you! Will do!
This was so helpful, thank you!
I'm so glad to hear! Thanks so much Emmi!
Is it safe to bring Bluetooth headphones for a 2 hour flight?
Yeah bluetooth headphones should be fine according to the TSA, but just know that you can't use them to connect to any in-flight entertainment. So, I always carry headphones with the traditional prong as well!
@@MeansToTravel Thanks! :D
Great video! Subscribed. - Angela
Thanks Angela, so glad you liked it!
Lmao it's probably really horrible, but I only drink water during flights. At least the times that they tend to give out food-- it doesn't give my stomach enough time to digest and I *always* vomit the food up during the descend.
Sorry to hear that - I have a family member who doesn’t eat on planes because her medication makes her nauseous as a side effect, so I know it happens to some people. If you can take anti-nausea medicines, the one I recommend is Bonine.
@@MeansToTravel Ah I see! Thanks for the info. I haven’t heard of this anti nausea medicine before. I’ll check it out
Good info, but very very bad audio. Sorry
Thanks for letting me know you felt the audio could be better - I'll work on some tweaks for future videos!
Means To Travel Check out some lavaliere microphones on amazon, really good bang for buck from what I hear
❤️❤️❤️
Don’t open your nail polish on the plane.
Yes, similar to spraying perfume, you want to use nail products in airport bathrooms before or after landing. The bottle I show in this video is not a polish - it is a mini of Nailtique formula 2 sealant (for chips or breaks). But it still has a scent, so I'd never use it at my seat.
helpful video
Thanks so much Manny, glad to hear!
I have a trip to Auckland coming up. 1 short haul and then two 11 hour long haul flights just to make it there. Any tips because were doing the two 11 hour flights emidiatly after eachother and I thinks mentally taxing so I really want to be prepared before I take these flights.
Wow that's a lot of flying for sure! My tips are: make sure to wear your compression socks on the long haul flights, try to get a full night's sleep, wear sunscreen, walk around the cabin frequently, drink LOTS of water, avoid drinking a lot of alcohol, bring items for freshening up like toothbrush and deodorant, bring a change of clothes in your cabin bag, wear layers to avoid feeling cold, and make sure you have a lot of different options for entertainment. Good luck, and have fun in Auckland!
@@MeansToTravel Yeah, it's a pretty brutal trip but i'll use ur tips without a doubt. I'm sitting inbetween my friends so they wont get mad at me for standup so often during the flight, I might just get some excercise during our 4 hour layover in hong kong. Should i bring earplugs or just a normal over-ear headset?
@@znek4288 Good question, I think that depends on how well you can sleep on airplanes. I'm a bit of a light sleeper, so I typically prefer headphones instead of ear plugs so I can have a relaxing playlist or white noise playing in my ear and drowning out the airplane sounds. But if you sleep easily on planes, ear plugs might be fine. :)
If you have never done long-haul, pay attention to this👍
Thanks Richard! 😀
How heavy is your bag?!?!
Hmm good question Deja! I’ve never weighed it, but once I put my laptop inside it, it can feel a bit heavy on my shoulders. Luckily my bag has the trolly sleeve I mentioned in the video to attach it to my carry-on bag, so I almost never carry it haha!
You bring up a good point, though! I fly US-based airlines that don’t weigh my carry-ons, but if you’re flying on a carrier that has carry-on baggage weight rules, you’ll need to take weight into account!
Means To Travel I ask because I’m a smoker and the one I have now I have to carry on my shoulder all the way out side and back up. Sometimes more than once. I am going to invest in a bag like this one
@@dejasview8904 Being able to roll all of your things through the airport on wheels is a game changer - you won't regret it!
Can’t believe how much rubbish people cart with them for a few hours
Hi Jean - sorry to hear this video wasn't a perfect fit for you. Hopefully others that I publish on my channel will be of more help!
Listen mate, you need face masks and nail files and tweezers and scissors just in case you need to do something URGENTLY. I mean if you clip a nail, you dont want to be waiting hours to file it do you? Or you might lose the finger.
I recognize this is sarcasm written by someone who has never had a professional vacation manicure ruined by a luggage handle. (Just assuming here, Kevin no last name!) HOWEVER, since the majority of people who have watched this video are my fellow women according to RUclips, I should now caveat that we cannot bring scissors with blades longer than 4 inches in a carry-on bag according TSA rules. Sorry Kev, they will be confiscated. 😉
Fun fact: an airport in Eastern Europe made a Christmas tree out of all the green scissors they collected at TSA security last year (hah!). Happy travels everyone!
@@MeansToTravel Im British, we like sarcasm :) Nothing was mean maliciously, just poking fun.
On the fun fact - The security is only known as TSA in the US - not Europe :)
Where’d you get that large travel paperwork envelope?
I got them at Target! RUclips doesn't allow links in the comments, but if you go to Target's website and search "3ct File Organizer with Snap Cover - UBrands" you should be able to find them, and they're only $4.99 for 3! Happy travels!
Thanks I was able to get them. I like that they are small and light weight.
@@DotComMomm So glad to hear you were able to find them!
Please do not bring nail polish and do your nails on board. The smell is very strong and is not ideal to use it in small places like an airplane. Please be considerate for other passengers 🙏🙏🙏
Oh yes 100%, definitely don’t do your nails on board. I’ve only ever touched up a chip in the lav or during the layover. Doing your nails I agree would smell horrible, require top coat + color + base coat, and be a huge risk with potential turbulence!
Polyester is breathable and cotton isnt? Wow!!
Yeah I find that my high quality polyester and poly blend tank tops let through much more air than cotton shirts. Low quality polyester can be a real mixed bag, tho, I’ll admit (like the fabrics used in the 70s). But the absolute worst is wearing a cotton sweater on an airplane - misery!!!
How about weight limit?
The weight limit depends on the airline you fly! In the US, most of our bigger domestic airlines do not weigh cabin bags. However, airlines in other parts of the world will often have weight limits for carry-ons and personal items, so be sure to do your research!
What to bring on a long flight: Ambien
Haha I know this comment was a joke, but I'll add that it's never good to take Ambien for a flight if you're unfamiliar with using it or there's a potential for issues/side effects. I had an old coworker whose roommate threatened her with a kitchen knife after the roommate took ambien for the first time, and then she didn't even remember doing it the next day. And that was on land within their apartment. 😬😬😬
Umm ummmm ummmmm!
Thank you for watching
Too much hand movement-very distracting
Sorry to hear this video wasn't for you, Helen!
Don’t ever put on nail polish on the plane it’s so Road. It makes me throw up
I agree don't apply it on the plane! The scent is too strong for the cabin. But, I'll say that it's probably fine to fix a chip in your polish (like I mentioned in the video) in the bathroom at the airport.
Amazing advice!!!! Thank you.
So glad you found it helpful! Happy travels! ☺️✈️
