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.

Long-distance flights can definitely be a grind, so having the right gear can make all the difference. Here are some cool, functional items I swear by for making flights more comfortable and enjoyable: 

  • Trtl Travel Pillow: Unlike bulky U-shaped pillows, this lightweight scarf-like pillow provides great neck support and packs small.
  • Compression Socks: A must for circulation during long flights. Look for stylish and breathable options like those from Comrad.
  • Travel Blanket: The Cabeau Fold 'n Go is compact yet cozy.
