10 ESSENTIAL Airplane Items I CAN'T Fly Without!
If you could only pack 10 things in your Personal Item bag, what would they be?? With airlines tightening up on personal bag allowances, sizes and weights, it's more important than ever to try to be a minimalist packer. In today's video I challenged myself to decide what are the ultimate airplane essentials I would want to have in my personal bag for a flight. Enjoy!!

Do both. It's always fun to see the pack, and then when you unpack, you can tell us what you used the most and what you didn't use. :)
Great video! I would like to see the unpack, then you can let us know if you used and wore everything you took with you 😊
BOTH pack and unpack videos pls. Discuss what you didn’t use, what you wished you had brought instead, etc. Additional essentials for me-small Gotubb of face & body moisturizer, eyedrops, tiny nail cutter for hangnails, Tiger or Zojirushi insulated container.
Hi Eunice! My list: 1. Phone/stand 2. Meds 3. Ear pods 4. Portable charger 5. Lip balm 6. RFID wallet 7. Towelettes for my hands 8. My Dior hand lotion (it's delightful!) 9. Water bottle 10. Travel blanky. I love your videos!🎉
I tend to learn so much more from the UNpack with me videos, so yes, please!
Going on a Ireland cruise in August, weather can go either way, maybe a pack with me, then a what you really could have left home afterwards. Safe travels!
I would ‘have’ to include snacks. I have a flight in sept(1st in a long time) from Jax, FL to Seattle and am already planning my snacks. Don’t want to spend $ and want to be prepared for delays and layovers.
I would like to see an unpack. I got home from a beach vacation last week, and as I unpacked, I was shocked at all the items I packed that I didn't need. I'm tired of overpacking non clothing items. Have a wonderful trip. I've been to Ireland. It was one of the best trips I've taken.
My must haves in my personal item bag not including my phone are: contact lens, prescription reading and prescription sunglasses, regular sunglasses, prescription meds, phone charger, 12-15’ charging cable (because I can’t find them in stores and most plugs aren’t close to the bed), handicap placard (can’t be replaced while on trip), plan pillow that holds clothes inside, slim water bottle, small wallet like yours (because it fits my belt bags), Kleenex, mini fan that doubled as a flashlight and phone charger (I was stuck on a plane for 3+ hrs in El Paso, TX, before the rules took effect to deplane after so many hours, it was unbearably hot and we had run out of water), compression packing cube with extra undies, top, pants or maxi skirt (n case my bag is delayed, wet ones/hand sanitizer, small clear makeup/toiletry bag and snacks.
This was a helpful video. I'm off to Europe in a few days. I am taking as little as possible. I can always buy something there if I need it
I used to drink 90-100 oz of water but in my last bloodwork my doctor told me I was drinking too much water because my sodium was low
My must have list: 1. Phone stand 2. Bluetooth adapter 3. EarPods 4. Kindle 5. Powerbank with cords 6. Water bottle 7. Hand/face wipes 8. Gum 9. Extra pair of contact lenses 10. Medication

Thanks for the list
Great information. We are headed to Ireland in early September. By the way, your hair is absolutely GORGEOUS!! If this is your natural hair, you are very lucky to have such beautiful color.
Love your videos and advice. Going to Ireland and Scotland in September. Looking forward to your upcoming videos for those countries.
Going to Ireland September, too! Would like to see BOTH😂
We just got back from two weeks in Scotland last week. :) I'd be interested in either Ireland packing video, but I think the "unpack" would be more illuminating. I brought a few things I didn't use, and I had some things I was surprised how often I used. I think the climate is fairly similar, so I look forward to whichever one you do.
If you were constantly thirsty, and you’re drinking a lot, you could be diabetic. If you haven’t been checked for diabetes, I would go and have it done. I do have diabetes, but I wasn’t drinking a lot of water because I always drink a lot of water but I had a friend who said he found out he was diabetic because he was craving water all the time, and no matter how much he drank. He still wanted more. So please go have it checked out.
I’m so jealous 😊. Ireland is a bucket list destination for me! Hope you have a safe and wonderful trip!
I’m going to Ireland in September. I’d love to see an unpack with me.
I'd like to see an unpack with me video, what you took, what you could have left and what you wished you had taken.
I was wondering if you were going to add chap stick to your list. I am a chap stick person and that would be #1.
I am definitely going to pare down the items in my personal item bag on my next trip because after my last trip I finally had to admit that I didn’t use a lot of what I took. I agree with most of your list but would have to include Kleenex because I often have a runny nose and noise canceling headphones but I could omit the tripod and chapstick. Oh and definitely an unpacking video vs a packing one.
I would love to see an unpack with me from your Ireland trip; have a great time!
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for another helpful video! I would rather see what you pack that did and did not work. Thanks!
Unpack with me...definitely.
The phone tripod is pretty cool. I need to check m that out. My personal item has my water bottle, iPad and laptop, a book (I’m a paper girl but my iPad will do an ebook My Bose noise canceling ear buds (game changer!) Snacks which usually is carrots, fruit, eggs, crackers, and a protein bar. All my chargers go in a bag in there, a sweater or sport coat
I'm looking for tips on traveling to Ireland. I plan on going either this fall or in the spring.
Love your videos! Always valuable. Haven't flown in so long! First international trip, super excited 😄 Also! Surprised me when you said you came to Oregon. I live in Washington but work in Oregon lolz.
Pack and Unpack please. I’m a chronic “just in case” packer. Trying to pare down. My 10: 1. Phone 2. Ipad mini 3. Chapstick 4. Portable charger 5. Tissues 6. Meds 7. Wet Ones 8. Ear buds 9. Water bottle 10. Snacks
Great video, it is sending back to review what i included for an upcoming international trip. I was already thinking i was taking too much. Now im sure of it.
Unpack with me would be interesting! Enjoy your trip and thanks for the video!
a Tablet are good for travel
Great tips! Shoot, wish you would have taken your Ireland trip before me. I leave in five days! I. So excited!
Can’t wait for your Ireland video. My daughter and I are going in the fall for 14 days.
Id love an unpack video!
Do you have a video for your bag that you keep with you during a long flight
Do both!!!
I love your glasses. If you fold them differently it is easier
Both videos!!!!!
my 10 items would be close, but kleenex and my airpod pros would be on there for sure. i know you said not both, but a packing then an unpacking/what i used-didn’t use video would be great. i went to ireland solo for 17 days in april 2023 and it was fabulous. enjoy!!
What about neck passport holders that hold phone, passport, boarding pass. Do you put that in your jacket pocket, then put your jacket in the bin?

I do that so I can access it easily!
Is that you with the mask and Trtl pillow? I'm curious what you think of it?
I think, Unpack is always more interesting, even if it is your personal situation, still to learn your explanation, why some things were not used, or - if some were not used, you still will take next time, because if you might need them and do not have, the situation will be really bad...
Hi, Genx Gypsy I going to take your suggestion for my up coming trip and take emergenC . Do it the night of your trip?
United still hands out disinfect wipes if you want them.
1st choice: both!! Otherwise: do the unpack!
Unpacking video pls!
I am confused. I was told that medications had to be in their original packaging for international flights. Is this not true?
Do an Unpack 😊
I love your blue ring…where did you find that? Thanks!

I’ve heard excessive thirst can be a sign of Diabetes. You should check your blood glucose and A1C to, hopefully, rule that out.

I am diabetic and rarely get thirsty. I have to force myself to drink 2-3 cups of water a day.
I’d like to see the unpacking video
Make sure you are getting enough electrolytes so you can retain the water you drink and aren’t as thirsty.

I realize from the comments I might have over exaggerated my "thirst", LOL! But I agree, especially in the summertime in the south electrolytes are definitely a good addition. I try to take them once a day or every other day 😊
Unpack please
1. Charged cell phone 2. Wallet with ID and cash 3. Headphones 4. Medication (I get airsick when I fly otherwise) 5. A drink (coffee, water, ginger ale - for the meds) 6. Downloaded music or movies 7. Eye drops 8. Lip balm 9. Snacks 10. Power bank for phone
1-phone,2. RFID wallet, 3. Tray cover with pocket, 4. Wipes, 5. Meds. 6. IPad, 7. EarPods, 8. Water Thermos, 9. Art Journal, 10. Nasomin antiseptic nasal spray
If you’re thirsty enough to drink 140 oz of water a day you should really check your blood sugar.

It is a sign of diabetes, but they also tell you that you should be drinking a half ounce of water for every pound you weigh. It also depends on the environment and how high your activity is. If you are working out a lot or if you're in some place where you are sweating a lot, you should consume more water as well as electrolytes. I know people whose goal is to hit at a minimum 140 oz of water a day, but they also work out everyday and they are about 200 lb

@@erismom69 It’s the thirst that was concerning to me. Drinking a lot of water because you are making an effort is generally okay but she said she was thirsty. There is something called psychogenic polydipsia which some psychotic people get and they can become hypnatremic and die. Drinking way too much water is also potentially dangerous.

Oops you didn’t count your ear buds but you talked about them. Heehee

Feeling constantly thirsty can be a sign of having diabetes. Hopefully that isn't the case for you.
Please get your excessive thirst checked out by a doctor.
Something is wrong if you're that thirsty all the time. Seriously. My first, obvious guess is diabetes. In any case, no, it isn't normal to be that thirsty, and you should get checked out.
