Over the years, I’ve learned a few survival tips to help make the inevitably miserable journey a little bit less awful.

I’ve tested countless gadgets and gizmos in my quest to find the best travel accessories for long flights. And I’m here to pass along all of my wisdom!

PacSafe Carry-On Backpack

This is by far my favorite carry-on backpack for heavy duty travel. We’re talking like, legit (travel) backpacking – except carry-on sized!

Essential Items

I always pack baby wipes, deodorant, lip balm, gum, hair scrunchies, nail file, snacks, reusable water bottle.

Use the TRIP-IT APP

TripIt connects with your email and automatically pulls in all of your many, many flight itineraries and travel plans, so that you don’t have to frantically comb through your email trying to figure out what time your next flight leaves.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance covers a ton of stuff that airlines don’t seeing a doctor on your trip, to lost or stolen baggage or personal belongings.

Airport Lounges

For $99 a year, you get access to over 1,200 lounges with for a significantly reduced entry price of $32. If you travel frequently, I think it’s worth it.
