Traveling is an exciting thing to plan, but there are so many things to think about that it can feel overwhelming at times. Once you’ve decided where you’re headed and what you’ll do once there, tasks such as finding accommodation and transport can be tricky. To make matters worse, once everything is all booked and set up, you have the joy of actually getting your flight, an activity most people find challenging in one way or another. This can be even worse for long-haul flights, so here are some essential items to bring to make it easier.
Eye Mask
When sitting on a flight for hours, often the best way to pass the time is by having a nap, in which case an eye mask is crucial. This simple yet essential item will block out light and let you feel a bit cut off from what’s going on around you.
Neck Pillow
This item is designed to support your neck while sitting upright, so is ideal to bring on a long flight. They can be really helpful for sleeping as well, but even when you’re not napping having something around your neck to support it is a good idea.
Blanket
For those who’ve traveled a lot, you’ll know that no matter what, planes are always super cold. Bring a blanket to keep cozy, or even a scarf if you need to save space. This will help you sleep and simply be a nice comforting item to have.
