If you’ve ever asked yourself “what can I bring on a plane” you know it can be a tricky task trying to navigate – especially when you don’t know what you can bring on a plane based on TSA regulations! What to pack in my carry on is always one of the first things we each think about when prepping for a flight! When it comes to long haul flight essentials or even just airplane essentials, everyones list is different. Here’s a few of our airplane essentials!

Airplane Essentials

1. Space Saver bags

These are absolute heaven! Especially if you are traveling with only a carry on. We use them for ski travel and it makes things so much easier and gives us so much more room in our bag for all of the extra stuff we need. They are the best!

2. Headphone splitter or Bluetooth transmitter for airplane

We used to be 100% all about the iPhone headphone splitter annnnnnd then AirPods became a thing and for us, it didn’t make sense to bring our old headphone styles with us on a flight. These headphone splitters are great if you have a travel companion. But if you prefer to use Bluetooth headphones while on the plane, we definitely recommend this Bluetooth transmitter fir airplane rides! You plug it in to the normal headphone jack, connect to your headphones and you’re good to go!

3. Ginger Candies

AKA motion sickness saver! I am the queen of motion sickness. I get it in the car, on a plane, sitting down, standing up, laying in a bed. You name it, and I’ve had motion sickness in or on it. I’ve tried tons of different candies, like these Queasy Drops, but so far the ginger candy chews are my favorite. If you truly can’t stand the taste of ginger the Queasy Drops are definitely the next best thing!

4. Travel water bottles

When we first wrote this post, YETI did not have “bottles” but they do now! We always recommend one of the YETI bottles, but if you aren’t looking to spend that amount there are tons of great water bottles out there that are perfect for traveling.

5. Disinfecting Wipes – Travel Size

After the last couple of years, you’d think this was a no brainer! But taking disinfecting wipes on a plane is something we’ve done long before 2020! We use them to wipe down those nasty tray tables and all surrounding areas. Even without the threat of illness, those things are still gross and don’t often get wiped down!

6. RFID Card Sleeves

Some people have no idea how these little guys can literally save you when traveling. I know I sure didn’t. There are so many crazies out there trying to steal all of your info, but if you have your credit cards, traveler ID cards, or any other important card (or passport for that matter) in a RFID protected sleeve, you can save yourself the trouble of identity theft and/or having your accounts drained!

7. Bose QuietComfort headphones

We definitely don’t like to spend money on things that we know can be bought for a cheaper price in a similar product. But you guys, THERE IS NO COMPARISON with noise canceling headphones. None. You know the noise you hear on the plane? The general cabin noise? There is none of that with noise canceling headphones. Not one single bit. It is pure magic. These are worth every single penny!

8. The best travel pillow

Anyone who has ever flown and tried to sleep understands the importance of a good travel pillow. We’ve tried a lot. I mean a LOT. This is one of the BEST travel pillows we have ever used. It is so perfect. I don’t know how they do it, but I get the most comfortable sleep with this little guy- and he isn’t annoying to lug around the airport! Another one of our more recent favorites is definitely the inflatable travel pillow – hardly takes up any space and always fits in your purse or carry on!
