“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta.
The best part of travelling is to explore new places and the culture of the country. However, the time spent on the flight can be quite challenging too. Worse so if you are stuck waiting for a delayed flight.
Here are the 5 things to bring on your flight to make your flight experience more pleasant.
1. Toiletries

If you are taking a long-haul flight, toiletries are a must to bring on the flight. I will make sure I have my liquids and gels that are in 3.4-ounce containers or smaller. Hydration masks, lotion and mouthwash are essential for you to freshen and prep yourself before landing. This is to ensure that you are in good shape when you reach the destination.
2. Medications

Oh well, do pack along the prescription medications for emergency purposes. Who knows when you might start to feel unwell and you don't want that to spoil your trip. Having medications with you will definitely come in handy. However, always check the website for the approved medications that you can carry on board.
3. Entertainment devices

Not all flights have entertainment services, especially if you are travelling on budget airlines. Thus, it is important to get yourself entertained on the flight. Remember to charge your electronic devices before leaving so that you can watch a drama, read on your Kindle, or listen to music throughout the journey.
4. Comfort items

Always ensure that you pack a sweater, jacket or comfortable wear to keep yourself warm on the flight. Air-travel neck pillow would be great especially for long-haul flights. I even bring socks to keep my leg warm for night flights.
5. Food

Budget airlines do not include food and beverages. Additional charges are applicable if you purchase them on board. To save some moolahs, prepare some light snacks to enjoy on the plane. Also, make sure that the snacks or foods that you bring along do not have a strong smell which will affect other passengers.
