The real long trip for me and for a lot of fellow Indian Americans is from the west coast to India. A cool 24 hours before I reach my native homeland not mention the additional 3 hours in the US airport and another 1-2 hours to actual reach home once I land. Totally worth it and nope don’t use any these tips because past the 8 hour mark, I just stop caring 😂
Saline nasal spray for long haul flights. Especially for people who get nose bleeds. Flights compression socks. These are essentials.
if the aircraft is 787 dreamliner, you may not need a lotion, because the air is humidified so its not so dry. only 787 has this..
As a male, nope to all of those.
Sanitizing wipes. Planes I was on to and from Hawaii were disgusting.
For long haul flights- for the ladies, a panty liner and Summer’s Eve wipes. We clean our faces to feel fresh and comfortable, so… It’s real life
Hi Laurie, I’ve been binging your videos and enjoy your channel.
How easy/difficult are those little zipper locks to open? I have arthritis and need glasses to see anything small these days. So, I’m debating the efficacy of them for my needs as a pretty watchful traveler and only using the backpack for a personal item on flight days. Seems like a hassle?
❤❤❤❤❤
Way too many fussy stuff.
Zipper locks? Explain immediately where you get them and how they 🔒
Sometimes you can find the gold bond diabetic cream at dollar tree. Great for cuticles and restoring cracked skin in heels in dry conditions
Love your nail polish. Color and maker? As always thank you for these incredible suggestions
Do you have any recommendations for compression socks? I have trouble with swelling on long flights.
Brilliant! Thank you.
make copies of her passport.
buy them at Daiso
Live listening to all your tips & putting them to good use. Also some great ideas in the comments – thanks everyone.
Careful now. The hand gesture, number “five” is palm-facing outwards/away from your body—never facing yourself. This video is about Europe, so please don’t put up any numbers with your palm facing yourself like she just did in the video, esp. in Italy. It’s like the middle finger. Just a cultural note here. Happy travels. 😊
Most tips are very familiar! Thank you for the zipper hook tip!!
Laurie, my wife and I are leaving on May 12th for our second trip to the Tahitian Islands. Many of the flight essentials you recommend can be used on other long-haul flights, like we will be making.
Yeah the air is dry that's why to turn on that small fan kind of thing above ur seat because the air that use is comeing from outside that's why you should twist it on to keep the air fresh! 😊
fly first class.
We bought that phone prop per your suggestion when we went to Ireland. Sooooo helpful.
Do you wear your good jewelry when travelling?
I sleep as soon as we are in the air and dont want food, drink, ipods or to be woken until an hour before landing.
One hint / hack I am going to try on my next long flight is to thread the strap of my small crossbody bag through the mesh front seat pocket as it is about the same size, and secure it in front of me in order to use it as my in-flight pouch so that everything is within easy reach and there’s no need to bend down or reach for a bag on the floor or take additional pouches. Failing that I will have small clips with a hook to secure on to the pocket.
If I need to get up I can unhook the bag and carry it with me. (Passport cards money will be hidden under clothes).
bag will contain face wipes, sanitiser, lip balm, earplugs, my mini toothbrush, toothpaste and so on, paracetamol, mini hairbrush, and charging cords. I plan to carry an almost empty small backpack with a spare change of clothing (in a pouch – that will double as a pillow), and can also keep a hoodie in backpack to go under the seat in front of me. Hopefully that will help to save packing too many little zippy pouches and allow for the very minimal luggage allowance for my main bag in the overhead compartment.
What eye drops do you use?
Laurie, you got me hooked on that Gold Bond Diabetic lotion! There is no other one that works as well!
I bought a bunch of the zipper clips for our trip to the UK and EU last year,we travel with backpacks only and used public transportation so they helped us not to worry about our bags behind us . Thanks for all your tips.
I LOVE those transluscent silicone bags! Is there a link??
Great tips! ❤
Yes i did the same❤
Lip balm.
I’m new to your channel and I’m loving it! I’ve done the direct, 11 hour transatlantic journey from Ireland to LA and back, for the last 20 years. I tend to stick to what has worked for me all these years, from the outfits for those long hauls down to the essentials I’ll need during the flight. However, some of the products you feature are genius! Like the shampoo bar from Lush and toothpaste tablets…who knew?! I certainly didn’t. Now mind you, Amazon in these parts does not sell some things are readily available in the US.
Believe me, next time I’m in Oklahoma visiting my brother you bet I’ll be dropping by Chicos and Talbots for some comfy travel gear and placing a hefty Amazon order 😊
Happy & Safe travels Laurie ✈️
Great tips! I just pack a large ziploc to go in the seat pocket with my lysol wipes, nail file, chapstick, and gum for the flight. Useful stuff but if I forget it, no big loss.
wow omg im loving your vids❤ were going on ferry first time thanks for tips.
Another very good short video !! 👌👍👍🎄
Eye drops? Do you wear contacts?
I love the zipper locks! My bag zipper zips from both sides and tends to work down making it easy for pickpockets if I'm paying close attention. So I use one every day!!! I also have a small chain attached so I can attach bag to a shopping cart so my bag isn't lifted while shopping.
My daughter is going to France and Spain with her high school. Excited and nervous!!
Any tips for her being without me?
You know what works on those zippers? Paper clips. Cannot stand ear pods on a plane. Kind of claustrophobic for me
Where is your sweatshirt from ?
😍😍😍
Beautiful hands, fingers, nails
Love Gold Bond too. Great list!
Can you share the link for the phone stand?
Where we can buy that little tiny zipper
Thanks for sharing 😊. My travel essentials for long overseas flight are my 800 thread cotton sheet from Macys 😂, thick cotton socks,chapstick, and 2 pairs of underwear because who likes to sit on the same pair of underwear for 13 hours 😆?
Thank you, Laurie, for this important information.
