I keep this bag empty at the top of whichever main item I am bringing. Once I am through security I take out all the items i would like on my person for the flight and put them in this bag (e.g. lipbalm, passport, tissues, gum etc).

Clothes 🧣
For a long flight, I like to find the perfect combination between looking nice, and extreme comfort. For a 13+ hour flight I like to bring 3 outfits: 1 to wear, 1 to change into at a layover, and 1 to have just incase I spill lemonade down my front (...

We all know to wear our heaviest shoes onto the plane, but I always brings sandals to change into once I'm on the plane. Far more comfortable for long distance journeys.
