RFID pouch or holder for IDs, passports, and credit cards: this will keep your valuables in a secure location where you can easily access them, while preventing digital scanning or possible identity fraud!
Layers: If you’re traveling somewhere warm, you’ll want to have some light layers to shed once you arrive at your location! Keeping layers can keep you warm on a chilly plane, and maximize comfort, but allow for an easy transformation upon landing.
Reusable Water Bottle: Travelling can take the wind out of you! Make sure you bring an empty reusable water bottle to get through security, and fill up after you are cleared. Most airports have water bottle fill stations or drinking fountains, so you can be sustainable and hydrated!
Travel-Sized liquids & chapstick: Keeping your necessary liquids in travel-sized containers is always recommended by TSA, however, its best to store them in a clear baggy that is easily accessible, in case you’re asked to remove them from your carry-on! Keeping them with you is also important in case you need some chapstick, lotion or hand-sanitizer on the go.
Carry-On Luggage: When you’re on vacation the last thing you want to do is wait for your luggage to be transported and placed in baggage claim! So, use a carry-on bag or suitcase to store your luggage, and then bring a backpack or duffel to use as your “personal item.” This saves time and money!
Re-sealable snacks: Whether you enjoy a salty or sweet snack, you WILL get hungry in an airport and on a plane. The last thing you want is to be stressed and hangry when travelling! Use resealable baggies to store snacks, or purchase ones with a zip or roll seal on them, to stay clean while enjoying your goodies.
