  • Another tip for us ladies..... pantie liners. The individual wrapped ones, wear one and take another one to change later. Will keep you feeling refresh and clean. Great for longer flights
  • For long flights, I create a hygiene kit for the end of the flight: a couple of face wipes in a snack bag, some tinted moisturizer in a contact case, travel mascara, Colgate wisp to freshen my teeth, tissue, tinted lip balm and a comb. I put all of this in an eyeglass bag. It is small and discrete and helps me to feel a little more human.
  • @mothbythesea
    a game changer for me was bringing a vicks nasal inhaler or spray especially for long haul flights when the dry air becomes intolerable.
  • @Jstubbs68
    This is one of the best travel hack videos I have seen in a long time! I am a flight attendant for a major airline, and I use a lot of the techniques that you have mentioned. But you gave me a lot of super great ideas! Thank you for this video! And I think you are very elegant and professional!
  • @myraleto6275
    Two pieces of that thin mesh shelf liner in black. One cut the size of the tray table. The other cut in a small circle to fit in the cup indention. Keeps things from sliding around. I always get a thumbs up from flight attendants.
  • Gosh! You must be a trip to sit next to on a flight!! Never know what you'd be pulling out your pockets!! I'd be rolling!
  • @betsyhada2936
    For the collapsible water bottles, when you aren’t traveling it’s best to store them unfolded. That helps the materials not get stressed and eventually crack along the fold/roll lines.
  • @ellybea68
    I live in Australia and travel overseas often so pretty much every flight is a long haul. I always carry a small bag of peanut butter M&Ms for when I just can’t take it any more. For some reason these always help!
  • @catmom9755
    I always have about 5 or 6 Ricola cough drops in my flight bag. I rarely need one myself, but about every third or fourth flight there is someone coughing near me and I hand a couple over to them. Makes for a more pleasant flight for everyone, especially with all the respiratory stuff that is circulating at the moment!
  • @deedsh6280
    I enjoy all your videos, so the longer flight bag review would be great. You find amazing items that are efficient, useful and take up little room, but the one that always makes me smile is the air sickness bag. Anyone that can turn that from a trash bag to a romantic luminary is a rock star in my book.
  • I have my own flight list. here is my list; hand sanitizer bleach wipes, water bottle. Mini flash light, iPad or mac book, battery packs. Cords, lip balm, noise canceling headphones, quart size bags. Gum, toothpicks, tissues, and breath mints. I also include in my purse a mini power strip since i can power up several items using 1 plug in the airport. I like the fanny pack for domestic short flights. I take these items in my purse or backpack when i fly with some snacks everytime i fly.
  • @njhart6236
    for long flights (where I need to sleep) I carry a wash cloth. Before sleep I remove make up, wash my face, and then use the wet washcloth to cover my face (mouth and nose especially) because through the moisture keeps my airways from drying out from the low humidity airplane air. The cloth can also block the light and it won't fall off like a dry cloth. Then when I wake up, I wash my face again and apply make up.
  • @FutileGrief
    My life will never be the same after finding out those small pop up fans exist. From the bottom of my chronically heated heart, thank you
  • @jenharvey3397
    A tip: If you have a small toiletries kit in your personal item, put your multitool card or other multitool in there going through TSA and transfer it to your in flight kit afterwards - they are less likely to go thriugh your toiletries and question it.
  • @nrivera4380
    I like using the doggie poop bags for trash and in case I need them for illness; and a 4x6 piece of cardboard to use as a fan. Your gadgets are great. Thanks for the info.
  • @suewolf3279
    There are a couple things you bring that I've never thought of and I'm going to buy them. Even on a short flight I will bring eye drops, a tiny little tub of face moisturizer, and a tiny little travel size container of hand cream
  • @janetladd46
    Several items that I always pack 1) Some AZO tablets ‘cause there’s nothing worse than a UTI when traveling - they can reduce discomfort while waiting to get into urgent care 2) AZO test strips 3) COVID test 4) small multi-port - so many rechargeable items!! 5) moisturizing nasal decongestant spray (can help prevent snoring especially in dry airplane cabin air) 6) wellness formula (available at health food stores) - first sign of URI, start taking capsules - can shorten symptoms - zinc is alternative 7) senna-based laxative - strange water/environment can make for less than optimal comfort (shall we say). 8) a few antacids 9) GasX - change in altitude and pressurized cabin can lead to discomfort
  • Long haul is 16 hours for me! Great tips. I always apply eye cream anytime I feel the skin around my eyes pulling. I can’t live without hand cream on a plane, so I buy mini tubes just for flying.always take a shawl that can double as an extra cover up or can be pulled over my head. Since Covid I also take rubber disposable gloves maybe 3 sets. If it isn’t possible to go to the toilet to wash my hands or I’m in a bathroom in a crappy airport and there isn’t any soap, I’ll wear gloves then throw them out as I leave.
  • @merrilew
    Hey girl… I’ve been flying for 35+ years as a flight attendant and my commute is always on other carriers to get to my international flight where I usually work overseas. Great tips and looking forward to watching more of your videos now that I found you!
