Must Have Items for Air Traveling

For Whom/What:

Long Distance Flights

Extra Details:

I'm looking for something cool and functional that would make my long distance flights a little more bearable. Are there any items that you pack and carry every time you travel?

I can't go anywhere without my snacks :) 

Airplane snacks are atrocious, and they often ruin my diet. If I'm traveling long-distance, I'm already jet-lagged and tired, so I need to really watch what I'm eating. 

I pack some protein-rich snacks, zero-calorie electrolytes, and some instant coffee. 

Quest protein chips and Pure Protein bars are my favorites as they're high in protein and contain 0g or 2g of sugar. 

I love all protein chips from Quest, so I usually pack whichever I have stocked in my pantry. During my latest trip, I took the ranch flavor. They taste just like Doritos! 

Pure Protein bars are great if you're in a hurry and hungry. 

I'm actually not a huge fan of other flavors from Pure Protein, but its Chocolate Peanut Butter tastes so good!! 

I pack instant electrolytes and coffee all the time too. Gatorade Zero keeps me hydrated during the flight, and instant coffee wakes me up right before I land. I really love Starbucks' Via Instant coffee - tastes just like freshly brewed coffee, and it dissolves quickly in both hot and cold water.

I seriously cannot recommend this enough! 

Sure - you can pack other travel essentials like a toothbrush, face mist, or snacks, but if I have to choose one, it'd be the AirFly Pro. 

This allows you to connect 2 wireless headphones to any headphone jack, so you can enjoy flight entertainment using your wireless headphones. 

I always find the wired headphones the airlines provide to be lacking in quality and comfort, even the noise-canceling ones. And I had to really amp up the volume because the sound didn't deliver clearly. 

With the AirFly Pro, I was able to connect my AirPods Pro seamlessly and focus on the in-flight entertainment without interruption. 

Connecting it is super easy and straightforward. The box contains a quick start guide, and I had no problem connecting it on the first try. 

Depending on the airline, you might need to purchase a separate male-to-female headphone adapter, so be sure to check that. I bought one just in case, but I ended up not needing it. 

You can pair the AirFly Pro with your wireless earphones just as you would any other wireless device. 

It comes in a cute travel pouch, so all the components stay in the same place and are protected.
