Noise-canceling headphones
- It can be futile trying to hear through regular headphones on a plane. The sound of the jet engine and other passengers’ noise will drown out what you’re trying to hear. Noise-canceling headphones are the perfect solution to this problem.

Snacks/food

Teabags
- In most airplanes, hot water will be free if you ask for it. As well as this, good tea is rarely available, so bring a few tea bags with you to ease into your journey.

Gum or mints
- If you find that you can’t brush your teeth, it’s great to have some chewing gum. Gum will make your mouth feel fresh for a while, and chewing gum is also great in counteracting the uncomfortable feeling of pressure in your ears at high altitudes.

Sickness remedies

Alcohol wipes
- If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that viruses spread fast in close quarters. Disinfectant wipes kill most viruses and bacteria, allowing you to worry a little less about picking up illnesses while you travel.

Luggage tag
- No matter what mode of transport you are taking, it’s possible that someone could take your bag by mistake. If this happens, it can be impossible to get your stuff back. The possibility of this happening is lowered by simply tagging your bag. It’s also much easier to spot your bag on the conveyor at an airport upon arrival with a tag on it.

Reusable water bottle
- It's always good to have water by your side rather than having to buy it every time you're thirsty, especially since it's so easy to become dehydrated while traveling. It's also comforting to know that you're not creating unnecessary waste by buying single-use plastic bottles. Sources: (Going In Style)
