Must Have Monday is back with my carry on edition! I love flying and wish I could do it more often but over the flights I've taken I've learned to bring certain essentials. Don't get me wrong I bring a lot more than what I'm going to show you. I am an over packer to the max. For example, I brought a giant suitcase that I checked when I went to Alaska. When I checked it, it weighed over 50lbs and we hadn't even gone shopping or bought souvenirs. I stuffed my gym bag in my suitcase in case it got too full. Good thing too because on the way back my suitcase was over loaded plus my gym bag was full. That's a lot right? Well I also put a bunch of stuff in my dad's suitcase. So yeah I over pack.
But back to the essentials...
*Sunglasses- I hate when you leave early for a flight then you get to your destination and you are literally blinded by the light. Plus if it's in your carry on you wont forget to pack them.
*Chap Stick- The dry air in the plane always makes my lips chapped so moisturizing lip balm or chap stick is necessary. Besides the guy in seat 8A might be looking really cute and straight at you! Always be prepared!
*Phone- It sounds obvious but not everyone is attached to their phones and can easily be left behind. Phone charger is also a good thing to throw in your carry on verses your checked bag.
*Wallet- A good wallet with a place for all your documents is a good idea. My wallet has a perfect spot to put my boarding pass so I don't lose it and easy access to my license when entering security.
*Mints or Gum- I prefer mints because some people chew gum like a cow which can super annoying to those around you. If you have gum eventually it will run out of flavor and become hard to chew, if you don't have anything to put it in you're stuck with it. A mint can be chewed easily or sucked on. Fresh breathe, yes please!
*iPad- I like to bring my iPad more for when I get where I'm going. I usually read a book on the flight and not watch movies or the free entertainment. On my flight with my dad and stepmom my iPad came in handy because my dad's iPad wasn't working with the in-flight entertainment so he could use mine. I would never put important electronics in my checked bag in case it gets lost or stolen. I have on occasion put my hair straightener in my purse for that exact reason before.
*Water- When I get passed security and am waiting to board I usually buy a bottle of water. I hate getting a drink on the flight because then you have to put your tray down or hold it. You also have to hold it when you're done till they come around to pick up trash. Bottled water you can throw in your bag and not have to worry about spilling. I hardly ever eat or drink or even pee on a flight so I don't bother those around me.
*Deodorant- Don't want to smell on the flight or meeting whoever at the airport. Again there's a hottie in seat 8A and he doesn't want to smell your stank.
*Epi pen/Inhaler- This is probably just me but I have weird allergies. I have had serious breathing problems due to unknown allergens before so now I carry my epi pen with me at all times, especially on a flight!
*Camera- You want to remember to take pictures to savor the memories!!
What are some things that make it in your carry on?
