I Just Flew 14 Hours to Tokyo—26 Items I Won't Board Another Flight Without
I consider myself a frequent flyer. This year alone, I've already been to Mexico twice, L.A., Florida, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Boston, and just last week, I got back from a trip to Tokyo. I've zipped and unzipped my black Away Bigger Carry-On so many times that it remained a fixture on my living room floor all summer with too little time between trips for me to bother putting it away. I've been to the airport so frequently over the past few months that I've joked about renting out a room next to JFK. Recently, I became the proud holder of United's Premier Gold status.
Suffice it to say, I've gotten my airport outfits and in-flight routine down to science at this point. Of course, I'll tweak which essentials to bring with me based on how long my travel day will be and whether I'll have to eat or sleep on board. I've figured out a few things that can separate good flight from a bad one and make or break my jet lag, skin, digestion, and… Well, you get the picture. Ahead, discover the 26 travel essentials I won't board another long-haul international flight without, from the weighted eye mask that has me out like a light to the face mist that helps me avoid post-flight breakouts.
