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!!

    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.

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 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.

    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.
