I do have those chews in my personal item bag. We cruise and while I don't get sea sick, I always carry sea bands, nausia meds, and those chews along with peoto tablets, Ibuprofine and Tylenol. It fits in a small zip lock just incase. You never know if the sea will be calm or rough.

A large freezer type bag, that you insert into the pocket in the setback in front of you. .... during the flight you put your things in it, instead of the pocket itself - no germs! Then put it in the garbage when the flight is ending and you are packing your things up.

What forms?

@Pearl2608 10 месяцев назад

Great list! For me, disinfecting wipes are a must. The minute I get on the plane I'm swabbing down the tray table, entertainment controls, armrests, and don't forget the seatbelt buckle. Just assume the previous person in your seat didn't wash his hands after using the washroom and you'll know what you need to do. I also like to take a small bag that can be used for garbage and some sort of clip to hold it onto the seat pocket in front of me (and I never, ever stick my hand into that seat pocket!). For an eye mask, look for one that has bugged-out eyes - it's much more comfortable to have something that isn't touching your eyelashes. If you have discomfort in your ears when flying, or don't know if you will (or if your children will), I highly recommend Earplanes ear plugs which slow down the air pressure changes. There is a children's version available. If you're using Earplanes you'll need to use the over-ear style of noise-cancelling headphones. Compression socks can be found in dark, solid colours - you might need to order online, but they exist. I like clothing that is super soft and has zippered pockets so I can keep small items close and not lose them while I'm sleeping. My flight uniform is a French terry cardigan with zippered pockets, and a pair of Eddie Bauer hiking pants with zippered pockets on the legs. One thing I have learned in many years of flying is that realistically, I am not going to retrieve anything out of my bag in the overhead bin during a flight. That bag is just for the things I absolutely need at my destination, even if my checked bag goes astray. Anything I need during the flight needs to be in one of those zippered pockets, so that includes single-use disposable toothbrushes, a sample size of dental floss, tissues, lip balm etc.

I always pack a small, handheld, battery-powered fan. The fan is helpful with temperature and smell adjustments. 😊 Sometimes I just want to feel moving air to counter any anxiety from mild claustrophobia. Also, a few recent flights were on airplanes with no overseat air vents. Last December a Korean Air flight was sweltering for the entire 9-hour flight (first leg of a 42-hour itinerary!).

I was on a 6-hour Korean Airlines flight recently and was shocked that there were no overhead airflow vents! A necklace fan made the trip much more tolerable.

Personally, I would recommend taking magnesium glycinate along with the melatonin. The melatonin simulates the hormones that your body puts out to become sleepy, but the magnesium often helps you sleep deeper or longer because it relaxes your muscles, can reduce restlessness, and consequently reduce some of the stress/anxiety that comes with traveling.

@twinlights11 10 месяцев назад

May also relax ones bowels, so poss not for experimenting on the day. Topical Mg+ might be better for immediate needs; alternatively introduce supplemetation ahead of travel.😉

Great tips. RE: JET LAG… I am retired at 50 and travel between my homes in Houston Texas and Bangkok Thailand 4 times a year. (I’ve also been to about 80 countries.) The day before travel, I reset my watch and mind to destination time zone by not sleep. Airlines are super bad at keeping their whole inflight schedule to origin time zone, so you really have to have a personal plan for getting sleep, naps, food, etc. that will get you pre-acclimated by the time you arrive. 👏🏻 Thanks for sharing. 😃👍🏻🇺🇸🇹🇭

Another tip for flights....when they adjust the air pressure, if you get the pain in your ears? You can deliberately pop them. They train us on this in the Submarine Fleet. I think it's called "the desalva maneuver" but don't quote me on that. But basically you take a deep breath, then you hold your nose closed with your thumb and index finger, such that you can't breathe through your nose, then you attempt to exhale through your nose. Do this until you feel one ear pop and then the other. Sometimes you have to do it more than once. You do have to be careful, theoretically if you do it hard enough you'll pass out, but put just enough pressure that you can feel the pressure build up, that should be enough to pop them! We have to adjust air pressure on the submarine sometimes when we change depth, that's why they train us to do that. 🙂

Also, the powdered packets are lined with foil on the inside and if you forget one in your pocket, you'll set off the metal detectors at TSA.

Remember to check your pen to make sure it still has ink. Since most of my bags have more than one pen in them, I always have a pen however, I have run into the situation where none of those pens worked because they were left over from last year‘s trip or some thing like that, so check your pen.

@janagezoethout4206 Год назад

I really agree on the topic of the pen to take with you. Especially for longer international flights since you need to fill out custom paperwork on the plane, as you mentioned. And for the covid pandemic time it was even more important with all the paperwork that was needed before, during, and after the flight!

A big item you talked about resonated with me: Lip Balm. I went to Borneo in 2006 to visit an orangutan rehabilitation center. I did not have a lip balm and was SO desperate. The awesome Singapore Airlines flight attendant gave me a packet of honey to put on my lips just to survive the rest of the trip. Ingenious and I lived to get back to Phoenix without losing my mind over my dry lip issue. BTW - best airline I've ever used in my travels.

@nancycurtis3964 Год назад

Lots of great tips here. Compression socks come in solid colors, and any pattern imaginable. Nurses wear them All. THE. TIME. Another great way to beat jet lag is to trace your acupuncture meridians every time you change time zones. (Just "trace" with your fingers. Eden Energy Medicine has lots of videos about this.) Every meridian is associated with an hour, AM and PM. When you change time zones, trace all the meridians starting with the one that corresponds with the current time in the new time zone. It sounds crazy, but works great.

@suze2608 Год назад

They have little brushes that do not require water for brushing your teeth while in flight. So helpful since you cannot use the sink water in the bathroom of the plane. Also, most cosmetics can be found in stick or powder form which does not have any TSA rules. Sunscreen in stick form is the best invention.

I always wear a soft fluffy Cuddl Duds winter infinity scarf- even in summer. I wash it in lavender so it smells nice, helps me sleep and can be pulled over my head to block out light or sound or protect me from germs if I lean against the wall and, most importantly, over my nose to block out the noxious farts that always seem to come out of the guy seated in front of me. Once I was seated next to a passenger with stinky feet who took their shoes off. 🤢 I was saved by the scarf.

@twinlights11 10 месяцев назад

I'll always remember that flight from DC to Boston because of the man next to me who must have been intensely nervous and in the habit of eating rubbish. It was disturbing that for take-off and landing he put his tray down and cowered over it. His flatus/belching odour was eye-watering. I couldn't have borne it on a longer flight, but then he most likely would never take one. So yes, pack defensively!

@tinajefferies5682 8 месяцев назад

For anyone who has ear pain when flying, try to make yourself yawn! I experience pain on descent and used to massage at the front & back of my ears which helped but yawning has stopped the pain altogether.

As a flight attendant for over 30 years, the pen issue bothers me. I always have several that I snag from the hotels that I don’t mind loaning to passengers, but for some reason they never feel like they want to give them back. Chances are, that’s why we ask you to borrow them from another passenger instead of from us, the airline does not provide them usually.

Noise-cancelling headphones vs ear buds/pods: Battery life! Buds/pods are okay for short, domestic flights (less than a few hours.) People often use them pre-flight, too (thus, less power/hours for use on your flight.) I opt for over-the-ear models instead, because they usually have 3X the battery life. Mine also use AAA batteries, so i can bring a few spares. Hand wipes AND hand sanitizer? I'd just bring the wipes, and use them for hands & face, too. Neck pillow us a MUST!!! Pen: I also bring a small pocket-sized spiral notebook (in case you need to create/update checklists, or write down phone numbers, directions, etc.) Pens are also helpful for those in-flight magazine crossword puzzles, too. Toothpaste & toothbrush are good. Mouthwash can be replaced with mint-style breath-freshenjng chewing gums. Plus, chewing gum helps clear your ears/sinususes from the cabin pressures. But, you CAN replace the contents of a small TSA-friendly mouthwash bottle with NiQuill (nite formula,) instead? Good for coughs, AND sleep! I don't personally take sleep-aids during flights, however. I don't want to become a zombie to neighboring theives, or unclear if there's an in-flight emergency. For jet lag, I'd suggest pre-conditioning yourself, instead. To fly from USA to Europe can take days to a full week to recover. So, pre-invest by adjusting your rythym the week BEFORE your flight. Trying to accomodate a week of jet-lag in just a 12-16hr flight, ain't gonna be enoungh. Sure, it will help a bit. But, to do it RIGHT and maximize your travel/vacation/trip, you should pre-adjust the week/days BEFORE your trip. Note: Blankets on flights can be rare nowadays, ir germ-filled from prior pasengers. I opt to bring a lightweight (water repellant) wind breaker or fleece. If I need a blanket, I'll just use my fleece/windbreaker. I prefer the windbreaker as an optional raincoat. Whereas, I prefer the fleece if there is cold/snow at my destination. Safe travels!

I now ask for tonic water at all opportunities on board, and was actually able to sleep a bit! (side note - it tastes terrible, but some gum will help after.) Happy travels, Lynne

I follow exactly what they say to do. I know am able to sleep on those long haul flights and arrive at my destination ready to go. Highly recommend for anyone that travels through time zones.

Always pack a pen! Antibacterial wipes to clean the tray table, arms of your chair, seat belt buckle and window. Due to fast turnarounds, there is minimal cleaning. I always like leaving a place cleaner than I found it. Plus, the last thing you want when going on vacation is a cold or flu from someone who didn't cover their sneeze or a little kid with a runny nose wiping his nose then touching the chair arm. There are travel packs that take up very little room. Leaving it cleaner than I found it also applies to the bathroom. If there is a mess of water & spilled soap on the counter, I'll get a couple paper towels and mop it up before I wash my hands. I draw the line at wiping down the toilet lid. I know the cleaning crew will do that one!

@livinglikelaura4282 Год назад

Do use almost all the stuff - but new to me is the dramamine Ginger chews - great tip. I always have an empty water bottle - (I use a filtering type) so I fill that up before boarding plan (after customs) if you stay very hydrated - it really helps jet lag (and you don't have to bug the stewardess for water). I eat protein/nutrition bars like a beast and then sleep (mask on & noise cancel earplugs) - or at least close my eyes and rest a many hours as I possibly can - hit the ground running when I land.

Eye drops for dry eyes. Don’t need an app for jet lag. Melatonin doesn’t “knock you out”. It’s not a sedative, it’s a hormone.

For me it’s the Cabeau neck pillow - it supports your head and neck without pushing it forward. As a person who suffers neck pain and migraines on a regular basis this is an absolute must. It rolls up into it’s own case the size of a soup mug.

@thetravelcoaches Год назад

Thanks for sharing❤️

@missmayflower Год назад

If your neck pillow is pushing your head forward, you’ve got it on backwards. The fat part goes in front to hold up your head and the open part goes to the back - so your head doesn’t get pushed forward.

@dammar117 11 месяцев назад

@missmayflower Thanks for the tip! I was on the fence regarding investing in a Cabeau pillow. Will try your advice with a cheaper pillow instead.

@jonbarnard7186 5 месяцев назад

Don't forget disinfectant wipes to wipe down the tray, seatbelt buckle, and anything else you're going to touch when in your seat. Got knows how often these things get disinfected, probably never. You don't want to get sick the first day of your vacation.

@pterrypower5140 Год назад

Hi there! Thanks for those tips especially the app. I am flying to Asia ( 16 hour flight) and I was trying to figure out how not to be completely shattered when I arrive. I have flown to Japan before and I tried to go to sleep - nope. Could not do it and I was up for over 24 hours over the course of when I got up for the flight to when I got to the hotel. But a good sleep aid would be very helpful and the app that gives me a schedule let’s me know when to sleep. Plus now I have noise cancelling headphones. Thanks again for the content of your video ! Well done😄

Thank you for your time and posting. First time going to Vietnam to see if I want to retire there. "Now me personally, I really never take Malentonan, the only time I do take..." Pretty funny, IMHO. :) I'll get a couple dozen of the individual 'Wet Ones', you can store them anywhere, and great at the very least for wiping down the toilet. My backpack right now is the ebag Mother Lode Jr. Thank you again.

When you bring along air pods, do take care of them. More often than not lots of passengers lost them inflight. It is not easy to locate these pods in the tiny crevice of the seats and side of the fuselage. Worst when you leave it on the meal tray. It will be thrown away

@jl453 Год назад

I’m a woman with a handbag. I always have a pen, simple analgesia, hand sanitizer, lip balm, my earbuds, dental floss, multi-tool, tissues, foldaway tote, and more. I carry a travel first aid kit that has electrolyte replacement, anti nausea tabs, anti diarrhoea etc but that’s in my checked bag. Usually only needed in developing countries. Never needed melatonin. And I take an aspirin before I board, and daily while sedentary and do all my leg exercises on the plane.

That’s not possible in many cases, like flying from Canada to Europe.

7:25 "a good Petty Officer always carries a pen on them" lmao I heard that so many times in the Navy. E-4 through E-6 is addressed as "Petty Officer" (it's "3rd class" through "1st class", but in all cases you can just call us "petty officer"). I bought those Fisher Space Pens when I was in, they're great. Write upside down, write through grease, write on dirty surface, etc. They were created for the Space Program. They have expensive ones but they also have 12 USD ones. All are Made in USA! 🙂

@danaeads919 Год назад

Compression socks or sleeves can be a challenge to remove. After developing deep vein thrombosis, I bought Hobrave compression wraps. They wrap around my shin and fasten with velcro. Lifesaver! Due to my condition, i wear them daily to prevent blood clots and swelling. Toothpaste in tablet form is an option. Drip Drop Hydration Powder packets have 3x the electrolytes than other brands. I like them even better than Gatorade. I bought a TRTL neck pillow back when the prices were reasonable. I have a 1-hour plus commute to work. I wear it and take a nap on the way there and back to home. Ive tried many, many neck pillow styles and this is the best. Temu has an excellent copy at less than $10.00. I've bought it, used it and it is just as good an effective as the TRTL brand.

@cocostrayer6667 Год назад

I ordered the Temu version of the wraparound neck pillow last week. The original TRTL is too pricey if I don't like it. I stopped using a neck pillow (inflatable) decades ago, but eager to try the wraparound style.

@@cocostrayer6667 I hope you like it! The Temu version is the same frame as TRTL, just a different quality of fleece.

@edwinatakasaki2258 10 месяцев назад

1) If you can find it, Gatsby brand or Biore menthol wipes instead of Wet Ones to wipe off your sweat. Pack that in your every day bag when you're moving about as well - it leaves you with a cool fresh feeling. 2) if you need a medical device (CPAP, etc.) as a sleep aid, invest in a mini version (you'll need a separate prescription from your current prescription for your full device). But BEFORE you do that, you'll need to register your medical device with the airline carrier you'll be traveling with (domestic AND international) and have that documentation with you. So IF you decide to use that device on the plane, you'll be cleared to use it in advance. You should be able to find it under the airline's Contract of Carriage - they usually have a list of approved devices.

@erinlikesacornishpasty4703 Год назад

I can't wear compression socks at all. I'm so glad they exist and that people have success with them. Please, please make sure you check with your doctor if you can wear them, especially if you have heart problems or another medical problem like I do. I also never bring my smartphone. I tried once and it was pointless. I don't enjoy it here particularly and it's mainly a distraction there. I travel with people who have phones if we need to call or look something up. And we always have one of those old school calling cards just in case (we used to use those all the time and I swear people used to actually answer the phone back then). And I use old school, wired earbuds. And my old school mp3 player which is no longer made LOL. I bring a real, paperback book too, and abandoned my e-reader long ago. I use an old school watch, you know, one with a battery, that you have to wind up 🤣👌. The fewer things I have to charge the better. Instead of taking an eyemask or noise cancelling headphones, just take dramamine AND melatonin 😎👌. You'll be done. It's pretty strong though, so only do that if you're flying longer than 8 hours, because you'll be awfully groggy when you wake. *Disclaimer: I'm not a medical doctor, please consult your medical doctor before taking any medication. Apps only work if you travel with your smartphone. The best way to get over jet lag is to DECIDE to shift your circadian rhythm and just do it when you arrive at your destination. When it's daytime, stay awake, when night, sleep. It's not hard, it just requires discipline. But maybe no one has that? Idk, I don't feel very disciplined 🤷‍♀️. But I also carry real books, so maybe. How do you feel about how heavy reusable bottles are? So far, I HATE flying with my vacuum insulated cups or bottles because even empty they're heavy. I either have a Nalgene, another old school favorite, or a boring old flimsy plastic water bottle.

@thetravelcoaches Год назад

thanks for sharing! I sometimes bring a reusable water bottle and sometimes i don't. It really just depends on how much other stuff I am already bringing and if the water bottle can fit in my bag

I take the cabeau neck pillow with Valcro , but I take the insert out as it feels like a neck brace. I fill the pillow with my down jacket and travel towel and silk scarf. If the plane is cold and it’s a very long trip from Sydney Australia to Europe I switch the long down coat and long silk with a spare set of clothes. And I have tried this and it’s excellent.

@kazharder Год назад

Yep always have a pen or two for this reason. I sometimes have problems with my ears on landing so I will bring lollies to suck on ther are also some ear plugs which can help with this. Wipes are a must and if small enough a facial spray to keep ny skin hydrated.

@Hippy2021 11 месяцев назад

I never had the socks on my plane. I never had any issues with my feet and ankles. However I do have ear pain and discomfort in every landing. Heard people recommend chewing chocolate. Ànd yes the pen!!!!!!am putting one in my carry-on outside pocket right now for my next trip in few weeks. I had to borrow people many times when filing custom documents. I got nice eyes mask from airlines. But will bring extra one just in case. Thank you!!!!

@julesverneinoz 8 месяцев назад

Something I've started carrying after COVID (and more than one group of friends of mine caught COVID virus during flight in the last few months--they were wearing face masks in-flight): - Face masks - Antibacterial surface wipes (10 sheets per flight, adjust accordingly based on your projected visits to the loo or out of your seat) - Cotton gloves In some countries catching it in flight means you'll need to start self-isolating in your hotel and cancel your plans for at least the first week.

@jakeconnelly2441 3 месяца назад

My tip for avoiding jet lag: plan your flights so that you land at a reasonable hour in your destination, and then force yourself to sleep on the plane (sleep aid, staying up late before the flight, etc). Works like a charm for me.

@markylon 5 месяцев назад

Great advice about the compression socks. I did a 15 hour flight from Japan and couldn't walk after. Socks make a massive difference. Well done for this good advice. For electrolytes you can buy for next to nothing Dioralyte Sachet. Pen is a great idea, don't get a cheap one as they can leak due to cabin pressure and ruin all your clothes. Noise cancelling headphones still bombard your hearing with WHITE NOISE which can cause migraines and tinnitus better to invest in some decent ear plugs.

@felikso 3 месяца назад

You do also need to be careful with wearing ear plugs (or full ear defenders, like I do!), because they can cause tinnitus too - but in my own experience, using ear defenders regularly for a few years now (I'm autistic with noise sensitivity), if you stop wearing them when your ears start feeling a bit ringing-y or reverb-y and give yourself a proper break (for multiple days at the least), you should be okay. - But I'm also a massive advocate for ear defenders: mine were suuuuper cheap compared to noise-cancelling headphones, they never run out of charge, and they work very reliably! As long as you don't mind standing out a little, haha
