The plane is full of germs and the last thing you want is to get sick the whole time you're in a new place.
You'll want to wipe down the handles and the TV tray in front of you. Then you'll have them when you get to your hotel.

This is my go to jacket since it can pack away easily. I like this because its great for the plane since its cold but if I'm going somewhere its unneeded I can pack it away.
Packable Jacket
I dont want to take off all my jewelry then put it back when going through TSA. I also dont trust leaving it in my checked in luggage so I put it in something like this to keep in my carry on.
