In today's video, I am sharing my tips on what to carry on a long haul flight. My job as an overseas buyer has made me somewhat of an expert on the matter. So here is a list of travel essentials to survive any long flight.

I may have missed you saying this, but I keep my spare clothes in one of those plastic grocery bags. Then, if I have spilled anything sticky I put the soiled clothes in the plastic bag which protects anything else from getting sticky as well. Somehow if it’s juice or soda it always ends up on me. LOL. EXCELLENT video! Thanks for the tips.

@janetray2527 5 лет назад

@@BarbaraRattee for me it varies every time. I plan for it to be hot and/or cold. I dress in layers so I can take off a top shirt if it's warm and I have an extra shirt or a light jacket, depending on where I'm headed, that I can put on if it's chilly. Some times I need both in the same flight if it's a long one. I haven't done the Asia trips like Alex but 9 or 13 hrs to and from Europe is plenty of time for them to make sure you're miserable on a flight :)

@Jessica Sakimae. For ladies it's a Must. Be prepared always. I distribute my pads in 3 bags - personal bag, carry-on bag and check-in luggage. I had help several women who got their period after we checked in for security while waiting for boarding time. Because I made sure I pee before the flight. I hate the airplane washroom so cramp, small and sometimes smelly.

@markkeeney7857 4 года назад

Great tips. I also pack a small disposable LED flashlight for when the cabin is dark but you need to find something in your bag or if you drop something on the floor and have to search. I drop everything. It's less intrusive on your neighbors, and overhead lights don't always illuminate where light is needed. Game changer! Also, I bring sleepwear and slippers; even if the airline provides, they're never quite as comfy as your own, or if they don't provide, you're prepared. Next, I always pack tummy relief plus flushable antibiotic wipes that serve both for sanitizing surfaces and personal hygiene care. Remember to bring enough essentials for the return trip as you may not be able to replenish supplies while abroad. One last tip: I pack groups of things that logically go together in zip lock bags. For instance, my sleepwear all goes together in a single bag that I then remove the air, and it compacts the items. Then when I need my sleepwear attire, I just pull out the single bag easily knowing it's all together without having to rummage. I do this with my checked baggage too. It keeps your clothing from wrinkling, lets you pack more, and is especially convenient on multi-leg journeys with stopovers. It takes little longer to pack this way than normal, so it's definitely worth the extra time.

@sharongriffith2250 5 лет назад

This is the BEST list I've seen yet. I travel with nearly everything listed here in an accessible bag, even a change of clothes (a shirt at minimum). I was once on a shorter 2-hr flight and had the person next to me accidentally spill tomato juice on my pants and shirt. I was miserable the rest of the flight because I could not get to clothes in my bag stored in the overhead. My additions to your list would be: anti-puffing eye balm for long flights (I use the Boscia brand) menthol cough drops (helps for dry throats as well as coughs) noise-cancelling headphones (if I have the space)

@AlexgoesCoconuts 5 лет назад

Oh no! Tomato juice is the worst 😮. I love your suggestions! Will definitely try the anti puffing eye balm. I just got myself a pair of noise canceling earphones (not headphones) that are small and easy to carry on. Will bring them next time. Thanks 😉

@susangilliam6400 2 года назад

@TheSeanBampton 5 лет назад

As someone who flies frequently with the Military, you've nailed the list of gear if take with me for every flight. The only piece I have that is different from yours is an Anker PowerPort two-port USB charger, instead of the iPad cube. You can charge two devices at once and each port pushes 2.4 amps, which means they charge faster as well.

@AlexgoesCoconuts 5 лет назад

Oh that is a great suggestion. I'll look into buying one. Thanks so much!

@AmmaLove24 2 года назад

If the flight allows a personal item and a carry on, it's better to have a roller luggage that fits in the overhead bin AND a bag for underneath the seat for things you need easy access to. The person item can go on top of the roller luggage in the airport so you don't have to strain your neck, shoulders and back carrying that. It's always smart to pack a few outfits in your carry on in case your luggage gets lost. I fly back and forth between San Francisco and India, which is first a 15 hour flight with at least a couple hour layover and then another 4 hour flight. My luggage has gotten lost before (it was found, but took a week to get to me), so its a must to pack emergency outfits. I would also add compression socks if you have problem with circulation and let cramps.

@AlexgoesCoconuts 2 года назад

Totally agree!

@gordongraham7 3 года назад

@leojoseph6385 4 года назад

Really great list of tips. Yup, you gotta be ready for the lost luggage or missed flight or cancelled flight situations. Hygiene kit & Spare clothes is a must carry on. You'll get more sleep time at the airport than if you leave the airport, get to a hotel, check-in, decompress, try to sleep from a disappointing day, then wake up super early to go thru security again to catch the first flight the next morning.

@susangolenbock3152 2 года назад

@keithjohnson2863 4 года назад

I have a single backpack for my carry on for my flights to Asia. My connecting flight is usually in a different terminal so I have to cover a great distance in the airport. Plus I have to go through a security check when going from an arrival gate to a departure gate. So the less bags I have the better. It carries extra clothes, electronics, medicine and other things I can't afford to lose. I carry my passport, travel docs and trip money in a neck pouch. The passport only comes out of the pouch when it is requested and immediately goes back in the pouch when it is returned. That way it is always with me and it is easy to verify whether or not I have it with me. The backpack is stored in the overhead bin, it's usually too full to store under the seat, and I don't want to give up that legroom if it does fit. I wear cargo pants and a fleece (scottevest) jacket with lots of pockets. So anything I might need during the flight is on my person. This includes noise cancelling headphones, pen, gum, foam earplugs, iPod, wired earbuds (in addition to the headphones), and phones so I can turn them on after we land as we approach the gate.

@nsloane5384 5 лет назад

Fantastic ideas, presented concisely & quickly!!! I I don't fly long distances anymore but I enjoyed seeing what YOU bring in your carry-on. You reaffirmed that the items I used to pack are useful & necessary. Everyone used to chide me about being so prepared, until they needed something & came to me for help. Two additional ideas: something for gas, diaharrea and/or bad indigestion in addition to the ginger. (I have gastro problems occasionally). Second idea; packaged snacks, whatever you like. I traveled long distances many times w/my son, from ages 2 to 21. If a meal was delayed or not enough for him, I had snack items to pull out for him. (& me sometimes!) Ideas: peanut butter-cracker packs, nuts, dried fruits, etc. Not the most nutritious, I admit, but better than candy bars....or dealing w/low sugar jitters! My son laughed at my "snack bag" until he needed food on an overseas flight, when the flight was delayed & we had to stay on the plane! A hungry teen is not pleasant to travel with, for sure!! One more thing:: a few sheets of paper towels. Can be used as a "placemat" or to help mop up spills, etc. It's easier these days to buy little packets of many medical & personal items. Browse your dollar store for these. I used to carry small bottles of many meds, which made my carry-on heavy. Now there are options with those little packs of everything! Safe travels and good health to you!🙂

I think, unless you have to go right into a business presentation or somewhere you have to look good the moment you get there, just take the make up off before the flight and don't worry about putting any back on. One of the things I do as soon as I get to the airport, before even getting a boarding pass or anything - take any outer layers you'll have to remove at security and stuff it in your carry on. Keys, watches etc, too. When you get to security you have your carry on to put on the belt. You're not stripping in the line and when you're through, you can take your carry on to another area to start getting dressed again. Then, at the most you're carrying your carry-on and possibly shoes. SHOES! Take slip ons, even maybe half size bigger. Easy on easy off. I have 'flight clothes' and they're all about 1/2 size bigger. No tight clothes to fly in.

Never use a rolling suitcase as your carry-on unless you want to be forced to check it at some point! I've been on several "full" flights where they asked for volunteers to check rolling bags then didn't get volunteers so they randomly forced some people to do so! That will never happen if you use a backpack! I use a combination of a backpack and a smaller soft-sided tote that fits under the seat with my essentials. The flight attendant told me by using a backpack I would NEVER be forced to check it if the flight is full.

As per Atiq Rehman - Baby Wipes are a must. For ALL sorts of reasons. Also hand sanitising liquids. They are great for cleaning tray tables which are now considered to be the most unhygienic areas on a plane. I usually clean the armrests as well as I have seen too many people pick their noses and wipe them on the armrests.

Hi Alex I liked your video because it's really informative and practical. I will try to bring back pack as carry-on luggage. I used to bring carry-on luggage plus personal bag. But most of important items are in my personal bag - medication, toiletries & change clothes. In 20 hours long flight I never bother to get stuff in overbin because I planned out what I need to bring. All of your tips I did it. But I would like to add: extra PENS for custom papers save you from waiting in lines. Snacks save us when our flight delayed and canceled, airport food is so expensive. And have a paper copy of itinerary because some resorts have sucky internet connections we got out room first because I have it. Some relied on their phone but unluckily they can't open their emails. Screen shots e-ticket is more faster because they scan only the QR Code. The more you travel the more you learned. Thank you for your tips! Stay safe!

I think you pretty much covered everything. never thought of bringing a change of cloths in back pack. I NEVER check my bag. They lost my luggage on a flight to Puerto Rico for FIVE days. NEVER again did I ever check my bag. They always have a laundry at my destination.

@AlexgoesCoconuts 5 лет назад

I totally agree that it is better to carry on your clothes if you can. It really sucks when they loose your luggage. I've had it happen several times but only on the way back. Unfortunately, I need to check in my bag when I travel to China because I go for 2-3 weeks and do not have access to laundry facilities. Thanks for watching, always appreciate the feedback ;)

Bag- best is a 'tactical' bag with molle system. You can attach extra pouches depending on flight length and destination. Designed for single shoulder, they have pockets for all you need and fit in the footwell- no need to scrabble in the locker. Battery pack is also bluetooth speaker and torch. Mini charger with plug to match your destination. iPad + kindle (longer battery life) medication. Documention in trip order (Taxi, flight out ,hotel ,flight back, taxi etc) with tabs in folder fits in back of pack. Place for phone and wallet/keys, for speed through security. Wifi hard drive for media.

@AlexgoesCoconuts 4 года назад

The bag sounds cool! I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the tips!

I also like to keep some Germ-X and a few paper toilet seat covers in my carry-on. Airline toilets can be pretty germy, and they aren't always cleaned during flights.

@PrincessofErised 5 лет назад

One of the first times I flew, I did not bring a change of clothes in my carry-on. BIG MISTAKE. Was going to Miami from a snowy climate to board a cruise. My luggage did not arrive on the ship for hours WTF, so I was miserable hot in comfy sweats until after dinner on board and looked like a complete idiot. Always, always bring something to change into appropriate to the place you are going, just in case they lose your luggage. Unless, of course, you don't mind spending a fortune for clothes at the Take All Your Money and Cry Later Boutique :)

@AlexgoesCoconuts 5 лет назад

You are so right. In fact when I travel to a hot destination I pack a dress and a swimsuit in case I want to take a dip in the pool when I arrive at the hotel but am not able to check in until 3PM.

I have started using those back pack baby diaper bags. They have a ton of organization inside and plenty of pockets on the outside too. The only other item I would add to your list is a couple of extra zip top bags (gal. and qt size) I find that I am always finding uses for them.

I use a freezer bag for my zip lock that holds my liquids for the TSA check at security. Freezer bags are thicker and more resilient than the regular zip lock baggies and will be less likely to tear on the trip. Of course its always a good idea to have a backup on hand.

I don't know if you mentioned taking a little pillow or not but that is an essential item! I have a great memory foam one where the foam is in small chunks. Makes it easy to stuff into a bag. Since it isn't washable, I bring two zippered pillow cases. They take up almost no room and you can rest assured that you are sleeping on a clean pillow. For short flights, I will bring a neck support instead of a pillow because it takes up very little room. I use one called TRVL. It has a flexible plastic support inside of a fabric wrap. You wrap it around your neck and attach it to the end with a sewn - on velcro piece. You really have to see it but it works very well for me! It allows your head to remain upright and prevents it from bobbing around while you sleep!

You put a good deal of thought and time into this. Well done. I like to take nasal oil to help with the dryness and some essential oils to refresh are nice to have to smell and get a pick up from the properties of the oil you bring. Lavender and Citrus are two favorites.

I'm doing the same since decades you need to have serious import/export logistic knowledge and people skills. It's not just the buying its also making sure the quality works and pricing, and that it works with shipping in all aspects. Mostly those trips are no vacation though.
