To make the most of a lengthy flight, you should not forget to take along the essential items that would keep you comfortable, relaxed and entertained for its duration.

For a pleasant flight, you would need to have a well-designed good quality carry-on compact suitcase as well as a handy smaller bag in which to keep essentials like your travel documents, passport, keys, wallet, and phone. Of course, in addition to this, it’s ideal to fly with airlines with free checked bags including such options on offer from the likes of interCaribbean Airways.

A travel pillow, noise-canceling headphones, a charger, and a change of clothes

A travel pillow would allow you to rest comfortably during your flight, while a pair of noise-canceling headphones would enable you to filter out external noises as you fly; a portable charger would enable you to enjoy your favored entertainment on the flight too. You should always take care to also take along a set of clothes for you to change into if needed.

A luggage tracker, lip balm, and water bottle

You would find that a luggage tracker would be very useful to keep track of your valuable luggage. Since the recirculated air in an airliner’s cabin would be low in humidity, lip balm would be handy to keep your lips moisturized. Also, because your body would lose a significant amount of water during your flight, you should take along a reusable water bottle.

A Toothbrush, blanket, and hand sanitizer

Naturally, taking a toothbrush would enable you to brush your teeth before landing and will be helpful for long-haul flights. You may also need a blanket to stay warm during the flight as cabin temperatures can vary. Finally, packing some hand sanitizer as well as sanitizing wipes and even some face masks will be useful during your travels.
