I put all of this in an eyeglass bag. It is small and discrete and helps me to feel a little more human.

I also carry a similar rfid fanny pack on the plane. I keep my phone, my wallet, gum, reading glasses, lip moisturizer, hair tie, and on the way there I still have my car key.

I agree with you that a little courtesy and kindness to others goes a long way in making the flight more pleasant for all. Reclined seats always bug me. It's okay to go back a small way (2-3 inches), but not the full extension. Those who insist on being fully reclined make moving around the plane cramped and difficult. You can't use a tablet or phone in the limited space left, and it's difficult to eat or use the tray table at all. I recently complimented the well-behaved young (2 and 4 years old) lady and gentleman who traveled near me on an 8-hour flight. Their mother reinforced the kudos. They were great and will likely be courteous adult travelers!

About four hours into a 7/8 flight a child near me started being completely obnoxious. As the flight was preparing its descent to land a woman on the others side of the aisle but one seat back, tapped me on the shoulder. She complimented me for not only being prepared for the screaming kid but smart thinking ahead. I had a lovely couple of hours nap while junior continued the sideshow. Funny some people scoff others are envious when they see you come prepared to make yourself comfortable. So well done, I have subscribed and look forward to seeing other tips and tricks I may have missed. Good on you for being prepared and flying smart. My mind goes one step further after being in Emergency Services for ten years in my younger days. I do think of what may be needed in case of surviving a downed aircraft. Odds of survival aren't great but just in case, I Want a few handy items. You may want to include a mylar emergency blanket in your waist bag.

I’ve flown enough times where things have just gone wrong, and we’ve been diverted and sat on tarmacs, and people got angry or thrown off the plane. So I just try to stay in my little seat and be comfortable and quiet. I love the idea of the mylar emergency blanket just in case.

Two young girls were also on the trip from our home State. The day we were leaving to start our trip home, the girls told the driver that they were sick. Thankfully the driver relayed what was wrong. Grabbing my bag I asked the driver to give the girls 30 minutes. Off I went and doses them both up on medication for nausea and diarrhoea. Luckily they had packed their bags. In 25 minutes we had their bags on board and two very unwell girls sitting in front of us, at the back of the bus. Neither girl had to use the bathroom once we got moving. Within a short while they really started feeling better and by lunch time they copped with some food and fluids. That night at our overnight hotel stop, both the girls were fine and so relieved they hadn't been stranded days away from their homes. So it pays to be prepared, even if it is too help others. All the best on your future travels.

Reusable tote bag- Chico bags are my fav- when traveling with our preteens. We use a backpack or small roller to get through airport.. but before we get to plane.. each kiddo is given a tote to put IPad, headphones , book and snack!! Then bigger bags never leave overhead .. best part the Chico bags can be wiped down post flight!

Great idea! I always carry one or two reusable roll-up tote bags. They come in handy at markets, with travel gear, and in many other ways. Most countries I visit now charge for bags at grocery or other markets. I just pull mine out and save a few dollars and help the environment here and there. Someone recommended buying a reusable grocery tote from the local store when you're traveling internationally. It will be handy, help you fit in, and make you stand out less as a vulnerable foreigner in a crowd.

Great vlog Eunice and yes to the long haul list~ I have a denim jacket from Chicos that covers my rear & has multiple interior/exterior pockets. Then I have the Tilley hat with storage (took that to Peru) and a scarf that hides & holds all the things with multiple hidden pockets. My daughter gave me her GAP denim jacket about 20 yrs ago & I just re gifted that back to her & the grand daughters at Christmas, so I needed the new denim. My items are similar, but I always have travel toothbrush & toothpaste, meds for migraines, Cottonelle wipes and for some odd reason my small tape measure. I added the caribaner that you suggested. What great uses for the air sickness bags ! My kids collected those thru the years from all the international airlines and we would store photos in them after our trips. Also they would get autographs on them if we ever ran into famous folks. (being that ATL was our home base, that happened frequently ) I loved the sparkle in your eyes when you talked about the luminary 😉 SONshine !

I watch a LOT of videos like this and yet, somehow, you came up with several new ideas I hadn't seen before. I am very excited to see they make a dongle for airpods! I always bring ziploc bags and/or doggy bags for trash (just recently I found some that have a sticky stripe on them so you can attach them to your tray table), but I never thought to use a ziploc to protect my items in the seat-front pocket. Such a simple idea but so smart, esp. for kids to use to keep things together if nothing else. When my daughter was younger, she left a couple important items in a plane pocket in Europe which we had no chance of retrieving. This was even after she had checked that pocket before disembarking. One thing for traveling in general, not so much for the personal item bag, is for those people who do need to wear a belt, there is a brand called "Invisibelt" that has a couple versions (one is clear plastic, the other is black with a stretchy elastic). Neither have any metal so they don't need to be removed going through security. I have a long scarf that has big open pockets on each end. I wear it on the plane to hold my phone, tissues, ear buds, etc. so I don't have to put everything on my lap in order to close the tray table to access my bag at my feet, etc. It keeps things safe and off the floor if I fall asleep as well. I use a carabiner to attach my sneakers or boots to my in-flight bag under my seat then switch to FitKicks barefoot-type shoes on the plane. They have a small sole so you are still wearing shoes, but they fold up flat. Another handy item is the TURTL neck "pillow". Folds up flat as well and is very comfortable as it props up your head while you are sleeping. No more of those jerky movements that scare you awake. :) Thanks so much for all of your great ideas!

The ziploc is a good idea! But I'll probably use a trusty ole plastic grocery bag. I always bring some with me on trips anyway. I use them for dirty clothes, packing shoes, all sorts of things... I've also noticed that whitening gum does make my teeth feel a bit cleaner (not as good as brushing, but better than nothing!). I bring gum anyway because of my ears. So it serves three purposes... cleaner teeth, better breath, and equalizing the pressure in my ears!

Proud fanny pack wearer here. I carry range shooting earmuffs for sound protection. Mainly because people who chew gum can't do it with their mouth closed or without popping/cracking. It's also great for blocking out conversations around you. It does help with the reduction of airplane hum. They fit over my iPhone earbuds (corded) and I can hear the inflight entertainment so much better. My fidget craft for flying is cross stitch as it is extremely portable. I can make very tiny kits that can fit anywhere. I use nail clippers to cut the thread. As for using the fanny pack as a foot sling is a brilliant idea that I may have to try! Typically, I pack an underseat bag that I don't mind puting my feet on to alleviate some of that pressure.

I like the Travelrest 4-in-1 Premier Travel Blanket because it has an opening for my head so it stays on my shoulders, folds up into a small pillow and has a zippered pocket to store items while I nap. I forgot to add...I also carry an inexpensive pair of gloves. I can't sleep if my hands are cold. I have several travel jackets and vests with 20+ pockets. Mine were knockoffs of the Bau Bax jackets/vests at half the price but unfortunately the company is no longer in business.

Great hacks! 😀Thanks for sharing! I hate when I find something great and then they discontinue it!

What kinds of things do you put in the pockets? I needs all the thrills and hacks as a somewhat new traveler.

@@sybilcarter9289 as you can see from the video I usually put the same things in the pockets as I do in my waist pack, except for my tablet, which is in my under seat bag. 😊 my under seat bag has other things that I may need for my trip but I don’t necessarily need in-flight. i’ll be making a whole video on that soon.😊

@@sybilcarter9289 @sybil carter I usually have the jacket or vest pockets filled with all the things that I would normally carry in my purse and then find a pocket for the cords for my phone and Kindle and a power bank. There's even a pocket large enough for a laptop but I don't take it when I travel. My collapsible water bottles (a Nomader 22 oz. and a HydraPak 2 liter) store nicely in the laptop pocket. One they are filled, I have a small (8x10" or so) thin, nylon washable shopping bag that I will carry them in. I haven't yet had a problem with hyper vigilant flight crews who are trying to prevent excess baggage in the cabin. Once they see it's just water, they let it go.

Unfortunately, that fast is currently sold out and they don’t know when they’re getting it back in. The good news is I found one that I like even better in the sense that it fits well and has some stretch do it although it has less pockets by half.. the six pockets it does have our deep and will carry quite a few things so it is my new go to Plus. It is significantly cheaper and I can get two for the price of one.! Here is the link! amzn.to/3r9muVI

Thank you for all these great tips, I’m a flight attendant and still never thought of many of these items……I don’t get to be a passenger much but I love to give my passengers good ideas. One being BRING FOOD …. So many times no food available on the flight and the Airport restaurants are closed. I feel so bad for those passengers that are hungry.

Thank you so much ! That really means a lot coming from someone who makes a Living Flying all day ! You hit the nail right on the head. The last flight that I took with my dad was supposed to be 4 1/2 hours and turned into a 36 hour ordeal. I was so glad that I had packed these large bento boxes for us to have as meals because everything in the airport was closed by the time our plane landed and also everything in the hotel is closed because we got in so late. And I always encourage people to bring lots of snacks because you could always use those in your hotel room or AirBnb or on your return flight.! 🙏❤️😊

My daughter found the niftiest little light fan combo on Amazon. She sent me one & there's hardly a day, or night I don't use it. It's USB chargable & lasts a long time She's been sitting on a flight for hours waiting for it to take off & of course, they turn the air off & dim the lights. I use mine if I have to take the pup out at night or a nighttime bathroom trip. The flashlight is brighter than the light on your phone. It folds up & the fan is 2 speed. Best little gift she ever gave me.
