Must Have ECONOMY Flight Essentials!

Ohhh no no no. The whole purpose of wearing a money belt is to keep it on your body AT ALL TIMES, including on the aircraft. If you remove it and stick it in the seatback pocket in front of you, you're risking forgetting it at the end of your flight, as well as having someone reaching over and stealing it while you're sleeping. The rest of your suggestions are great but this one is a HUGE no-no. If it's uncomfortable to wear it because it presses into you, loosen the belt and push it up a little higher above where the seat belt sits. Or go into the bathroom and loose the strap enough so that you can wear it crossbody style under your T-shirt. But whatever you do, DO NOT remove your money belt! Dude, seriously.

I have found the worst thing about flying economy is flying economy

Take two aspirin at the start of your travel day. The aspirin will help to prevent blood clots from forming and alleviate minor aches and pains before they start. Also, I bring saline nasal spray. It helps me to deal with the dry airplane air.

Former flight attendant here - Never ever put your valuables in the seat pocket in front of you. We find dirty diapers, snot filled tissues, vomit bags, dog pooh bags, diabetic needles etc on the regular

I consider traveling a luxury. I find happiness when being on a plane and going to another country. Most people in the world can't travel. Cost, visa requirements, etc. Having a US passport is sacred. I'm grateful even its economy.

Lack of leg room and personal space is my biggest pet peeve.

Visine is a vaso-constrictor (constricts vessels). It makes your eye look better, but actually isn't good for them. Eyes get red when irritated, because the blood vessels are working hard to remove the irritation. You're better off using a lubricating drop to add moisture, without constricting the vessels.

May I strongly suggest not putting your valuables (money belt) in the front pocket. This is super niche, but most accidents are during take-off and landing (and most people survive), and if you have to evacuate it will make a huge difference if you have your passport, cards, phone on your person. Also, anything in the front pocket can be forgotten, stolen or get dirty. But the rest are great tips.

I've been with too many people who left their stuff in the seat pocket. One girl had to leave our trip, pay for a flight to an American Embassy location to get a new passport, which she left in the seatback pocket. My brother has left, not one but, two boze headphones in the seat back pocket. Don't use that pocket for anything you don't want to lose!

Liquid IV or any type powdered electrolytes. Bring my H2O bottle, fill after security and add electrolytes. Works great against Jetlag.

The worst thing on flights is sick people coughing, sneezing and doing everything they can to get me sick too.

My biggest problem is the absolute lack of sleep. No matter how long the flight, no matter how comfy the seat and big the legroom seem at first... I never manage to sleep 😭

I take these with me on the flight: 1 - Therm-a-Rest lumbar travel pillow, I don't always need to use it but some seats don't have much lower back support. It's compact after all the air are out. 2 - Listerine pocketpaks fresh breath strips instead of brushing my teeth inflight, don't want to use their water to rinse. 3 - Neutrogena makeup remover wipes, I don't have makeup to remove but the wipe cleans my face without drying and it's individually wrapped, doesn't take up any room.

Sounds strong. Maybe I missed it, but gum. Helps to clear the air pressure and keeps your breath fresh and mouth from getting too dry.

Puts the money belt in the seat back pocket… Me: NOOOooOO!😬 Just use a body bag and snap it around the arm/s of the tray table (after disinfecting everything you’re likely to touch, including tray table arms, of course). When you’re going to the loo, take your bag with you.

i bring a long scarf so that I can make a hammock foot rest by tying it to the tray table. Works wonders for my short legs.

Regardless of whether you are riding in economy or 1st class, aircraft air is exceedingly dry and can wreak havoc with your sinuses, especially on longer flights. To provide a comfortable travel experience, I use "Ayr Saline Nasal Gel." Just before I board, I visit the bathroom, squeeze a bit on a Qtip, and gently swab both sinuses. On long international flights, you can easily reapply more if you feel the need. Ayr gel has been a God send for me, and I highly recommend it!!

*****Having some meds for things like upset stomach and headaches can be a game changer, but I use travel sized manufacturer containers. If you have loose pills without the container and they are discovered by TSA - or customs on an international flight - depending on the officer, you may be delayed while they check into the fact that they are what you say they are. Also, a reminder that prescription meds must be in the container that has the prescription on it. To not do so is a crime in some areas of the world, including much of the U.S.

I would add Imodium and Benadryl (or generic equivalents of each) to your medicine pack. Vomiting is bad enough, but you really don't want to be running to the toilet every 5 minutes, especially when there is likely to be a line. Also, you may not know of any allergies, but that doesn't mean you don't have any. Having something to help you if you need it can be a life saver, sometimes quite literally.
