Airport ready🛫
The things that make layovers and airport waits a little more bearable for me!
I’d say TSA precheck is worth it if you fly more than ~3 times a year. It makes getting through those long security lines so much faster!
TSA PreCheck® | Transportation Security Administration
This is something I could definitely live without but I definitely enjoy having! It gives members access to a ton of airport lounges around the globe. I don’t know that I’d pay full price for it, but it was included with one of my credit cards- check...
Priority Pass
While I use TSA precheck, my husband prefers to use Clear to bypass security lines. It’s another service to check with your credit card provider about!
CLEAR
Fit Check💃🏼
One thing you’ll never catch me doing is wearing an uncomfortable outfit on a plane. This is my preferred way to optimize comfort en route!
I love these shorts for travel days! They’re just thin enough that you genuinely can’t feel them, but still feel durable. The tight fit also means I can easily slip on some sweatpants if I get cold!
lululemon Align™ High-Rise Short 4" | Women's Shorts | lululemon
I love this off the shoulder tee for travel days! It’s loose, comfy, and doesn’t add too much bulk under sweatshirts if I need one.
Oversized Off-the-Shoulder Strawberry Graphic Tee
This hoodie from Popflex is a great option for layering! It’s perfectly oversized and has a zipper for maximum temperature control.
Zip Cloud Hoodie - Crimson
These really are the perfect plane pants- soft, wide leg, and a comfy waistband.
Perfect Plane Pants - Black
TMI- My feet get super overheated when I fly. Obviously, you won’t catch me going barefoot on a plane, but a girl needs some air flow! These Birks are perfect because they’re open toe, have no toe strap (helloooo socks & sandals) and have a shiny...
Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle Sandals
Packed & Ready 🧳
Quality luggage is essential! No one wants a busted strap, wonky wheel or ripped fabric at the airport.
When I can, I try to fly with a personal item instead of a full carry on- I find it makes it so much easier when it comes time to exit to your destination. I prefer a backpack style over a duffle, and this pack from Beis is my go-to.
The Travel Backpack in Maple
When I do pack a carry on, I prefer a soft-side so that I can fit more stuff. The four wheel design of this pack makes it super easy to roll and I’ve found the Calpak brand holds up really well.
Terra 35L Soft-Sided Carry-On Luggage in Juniper
Contrary to my carry-on preference, I like a hard side luggage for my checked bags. I find that they’re more durable. Again, the four wheel design is a must, and I love the built in TSA approved lock.
Hue Large Luggage in Juniper
Compression packing cubes help me stay organized and save space!

We all need a little distraction on a long day… and sometimes that means screen time. Here are my fave pieces of tech to keep me sane!
These budget friendly noise cancelling earbuds are my fave! They work so well and the battery lasts forever.
Tune Buds True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Black
For those who prefer over ear headphones, these are my go-to! They’re super comfy and again- really long battery life.
WHCH720N Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones - Pink
This powerful little charger is the best! It has 2 built in USB-C cables, USB-C and USB-A ports, and can charge up to four devices at once.
Anker Laptop Power Bank (25K, 165W, Built-In and Retractable Cables)
I love to read but hate lugging books around with me. The kindle has been a lifesaver for that. I also love the kindle unlimited subscription- it has saved me so much money.
