Airplane must haves from someone who flies every month
12
items I fly at least twice a month, so I’ve become quite the expert on ways to make the journey as bearable as it can be (I can’t offer any recs on how to emotionally deal with delays!)

Comfort
I’ve yet to encounter a comfortable airplane seat
Aside from how comfortable this is, the best thing about it is that it folds easily to fit in backpacks and suitcases - don’t stress about any extra baggage fees!
Neck Pillow
Let’s face it - sometimes a pillow doesn’t do it and you need the warmth of a soft blanket to help you sleep on a redeye. This oversized hoodie checks that box!
Oversized Blanket Hoodie
If you think you’d never want to splurge on a sleeping mask, you’ve obviously never tried one worth splurging on. This is the one to splurge on.
Togas Naomi Sleeping mask
These are a lifesaver, especially on overnight flights. Plus, they are a healthier and more natural alternative to some over the counter meds.
Melatonin Gummies
If you didn’t know, TSA doesn’t require you to remove your shoes at security anymore. That means you don’t need to sacrifice comfort on your feet for efficiency anymore. These might be intended for running, but they hug your foot in the coziest way!
Compression Socks
Snacks
Let’s face it - no one likes airplane food. Not even the little bag of Chex mix they give you
There are so many flavors and all of them are ADDICTING! Cinnamon sugar especially. But you can never go wrong with original!
Dot's Pretzels
There’s a lot of protein bars out there but none quite match the chocolate peanut butter-y goodness of these. Great energy boost and delicious flavor
Quest Nutrition Hero Protein Bars Chocolate Peanut Butter
You might think the combo of açaí, blueberry, and chocolate doesn’t work, but you would be wrong. Rich dark chocolate with a sweet and tangy finish.
BROOKSIDE Dark Chocolate
Lots and lots of walking around the terminal means you need to stay hydrated! My advice? Drink one before you enter security so you’re energized and don’t have to worry about bringing a liquid through
Vita Coco 100% Pure Coconut Water
Not the healthiest choice but definitely a delicious option when it comes to stress eating. The blue ones are my favorite!
Fruit Gushers
Practicality
This backpack is so compact but fits literally anything I ever need - it even comes with it a charging port built into the bag, which is a total lifesaver!
Samsonite Travel Backpack
Owala has become new favorite reusable water bottle brand. With a built in straw, there’s no need to worry about spillage when you try to take a sip during some turbulence.
