What to pack in your carry-on luggage?

Your passport, ID and money – rather keep this in your hand luggage, losing an ID is not fun and if packed in your luggage and the airlines misplaces your luggage you might have a few headaches getting this sorted.

• Water bottle with filtering system and some disinfectant wipes to clean your seating area on the plane.
• Daily medication, put all your medication that’s essential in your carry-on in case your luggage gets lost you at least still have your medication.
• Phone charger – you can plug your phone into almost all airlines seats to charge on the trip so you are sure to always be connected.
• Documents you might need like your travel insurance policy
• Your valuables and even anything sentimental – rather be safe than sorry.
• A change of clothes, toothbrush, wipes and toothpaste is always a good idea, check-in luggage does get lost and at least you will be able to able to brush your teeth and take a shower if your baggage does not turn up.
• Entertainment like your book, kindle or iPad. Flights can be very long and boring and your book might just be the right thing for you to pass some time.
• Snacks – sometimes the packet of pretzels from the airline just won’t fill that hole.
• Something to keep you warm, we know how cold the cabins can get.
