Airplane Travel Essentials

Hey All!

This is my first post of the summer - eeeeeeeee - so I thought it would be fitting to talk about travel. These are my top nine airplane travel essentials, hope this is entertaining/helpful!

1. Dried Fruit

When traveling it's always good to have snacks, and my favorite is dried fruit. It's easier than real fruit to get through security, and it won't crumble or get crushed like crackers. It also keeps you high on energy (thank you sugar & carbs!) and isn't too unhealthy.

2. Comfy Sneakers

When walking through airports the worst thing you can do is wear uncomfortable, hard, or unsupportive shoes. Sneakers (in particular the Nike's pictures above) can make for a very cute addition to your outfit as well.

3. Headphones

Headphones are great so that you can listen to music while sleeping and not have to worry about them falling off (like ear buds). They're also super comfy.

4. Facial Towelettes

Airplane air is gross - it's recycled! - so it makes you feel like poop. When at connecting airports, or even on the plane, it feels really good just to be able to freshen up and these will help you do that. I like the Simple brand.

5. Ear Buds

Ear buds are great because with them you can hear above the roar of the plane. I prefer them to headphones when I'm trying to listen to a movie or when I'm trying to edit.

6. Neck Pillow

When I want to fall asleep on a plane, the only way I can is if I have a neck pillow - they're so comfy! You can get these at the airport, at Michaels, at Target, basically anywhere. 

7. Backpack

Chances are you want to bring a lot of stuff on the plane, and chances are it weighs a lot. Not only does carrying stuff around in a backpack make it easier to keep track of but it is so much better for your back than a tote bag.

8. Gum

Gum is kind of a no brainer, it keeps you occupied while you're on the plane and it helps keep your ears from popping when you take off.

9. Hand Sanitizer

Once again, the airplane is gross so I do whatever I can do to x-out the germs and make myself feel clean I will do. Hand sanitizer is also great because if you spill on yourself and get sticky you can un-stickify yourself.
