    In the past when I flew, my ears would start to hurt after we landed. I did gum, swallowing more, you name it I did it. I asked my doctor what I could do to help me not be in misery after my flight. He suggested a nasal spray with the ingredient Oxymetazoline. He said to use it an hour before the flight, when I board and when I arrive at my destination. It has made a world of difference.

    My must have when flying is a gallon sized empty ziplock bag, that I put inside the seat-back pocket in front of me, to collect all of my trash throughout the flight. Then, when the flight attendant comes through for the final call for trash, I just pull our, zip-closrd when he or she is a couple rows away, then I can hand over then entire bag! No mess, no fuss! And they love the speed of the pass over too, I'm sure bc most people have multiple hand fulls of trash to pass over several "hold on, I have more to give you" wastes their time! And keeps the area and inside the seat-back pocket clean!!!

    I keep a roll of doggy bags in my personal bag and in our car. We have a surplus since our boy passed away. They are perfect for small candy wrappers and other things that might otherwise end up in the seat back pocket. I've even passed one to a mom after she started feeding her toddler snacks.

    My must have... ear buds and something to listen to, especailly If the flight is longer than 2 hours, then I generally like to sleep and the earbuds can act as ear plugs in most cases. I can get over the dryness or even hot/humid cabin air, but ear plugs for me are almost a must on longer flights since I will generally sleep and there are usually those who just won't sleep no matter the length of the flight or the time of day/night it's flying (one exception would be my 8 hour over-night flight from Chicago to Switzerland, in which most people -- who were smart at least -- went to sleep by 9pm (took off at 7pm and they serve dinner around 8pm), and it was an 8 hour flight and on top of that, you lose about 7 hours due to timzeone changes (so you get there at basically 3am Chicago time). If the flight is shorter than 2 hours then I generally don't sleep unless it's an early flight, but on those shorter flights, there really isn't must haves except maybe something to listen to.

    I always love your videos Megan! Thank you!! It would be great if all these sprays and body care items were scent-free. I can imagine half the plane using these and the cabin becoming a perfume nightmare. I am really aware of any scents I use on a plane. Some folks are seriously sensitive to smells and perfumes and they are trapped for the duration of the flight.

These items would likely make many feel queasy if not ill. Just say no to any scents at all, especially any fragrance items. Then we can all breathe.

    I don’t find a foot hammock comfortable due to limited under seat space and long legs.Instead, I bring a beach ball, blow it half way and place it under the seat. Works magic. At the end of the trip, I simply let the air out, fold it and either keep it for the return flight or dispose of it after getting off.

    A lot of people suggest brushing your teeth while on the plane, but I think the water in most plane lavatories is marked as non potable. A better option for me is the little individual toothbrushes pre-loaded with a dab of toothpaste. I try to avoid disposable items but in this case they make sense for me.

    I've been traveling with a portable fan for several years now. I've not yet had to use it on the plane but it's helped enormously when traveling to hot destinations where there was no A/C at the destination, especially at night where I keep it pointed at my head on low and it lasts the entire night. Along with a face mask, travel pillow, ear plugs, noise canceling headphones, comfortable shoes, lip balm, moisturizer, sanitizer, wipes, a power bank and charging cables, it comprises my entire in-flight travel kit. The only thing I've yet to get is something to put in the seatback pocket so I don't have to touch it with my hands or put my stuff directly into it. Next flight, for sure...

    Congrats on 100000!! 3 things I bring (and they are a bit weird…) A small first aid kit. Just a few gauze pads, adhesive strips and disinfectant wipes. Throw back to travelling with kids but it’s handy, and I often use the wipes on my tray table. Gloves. A tough but not bulky pair in case you have to reach into the seats if you loose something (I use mechanic gloves) A good quality flashlight for those times when you drop something on the floor and can’t spot it. It’s amazing how a light can make it easier to spot And those last two were suggested to me by a flight attendant 15 years ago- she said they are also handy in case of an emergency I do bring other things as well but these are the 3 I have used most often

    For people looking for the travel fan- please not Amazon has 2 versions, but its very hard to tell them apart. Look for the one with the larger battery if you are seaking to use it as a portable battery too, it will cost about $7 more, but it's worth every penny.

    Hi Megan, thanks for the video tips, but I think the Tide laundry pen is mostly useless for anything other than a water soluble stain. That's my experience anyway.

    I have the Airplane Pockets/tray table cover and won't travel without it. I love the pockets, I can put my small electronics bag in it, my water bottle, glasses, and many other items that I need to have quick access to. This way I don't have to dig through my personal bag. Last flight I was on there was a man that had his bare feet in the seat pocket while he slept, yuck yuck. So, this keeps my stuff out of that pocket.

I have never seen you address this in a prior video. I love buying things for myself and my family back home, but I don't know how you could bring them and all your clothes home without checking a bag. Please solve this mystery.

    Hi Megan I'm from Australia love your channel. That fan looked good and was needed in my last trip to Vegas a few years ago we got on the plane at Las Vegas airport to LAX the flight was delayed over 2 hrs due to electrical problems; finally took off and we were going to miss our connecting flight to Sydney via LAX my partner and I run to the next flight as it was leaving without us but to our dismay that flight was delayed over 2hrs due to air conditioning problems it was hot a full flight my partner in the middle seat and he had to fight for at least one arm rest, screaming kids. Megan I needed that FAN I'm going to buy one. Thanks United airlines for both delays. Megan love your channel and can't wait for your next one. 🇦🇺🌹🌹❤

    The Tide stain stick made me laugh because it reminded me of an incident on a flight… Food service had just finished when the man next to me knocked his full glass of red wine into my lap… A flight attendant saw it happen and went to get some towels for me whilst the man who spilt it on me was silent - no apology, nothing. Then when the flight attendant returned he held his glass up to her face & asked for a refill, before she’d even had the chance to hand me the paper towels!

    Two items. 1: Ear plugs cannot help with pressure changes and discomfort. The plugs rest in your outer ear canal. Pressure is experienced in the middle ear, behind your tympanic membrane, and is relieved through the Eustachian tube, also in the middle ear. 2: Stop using the airplane bathroom as your personal changing room. Your efforts to improve your appearance can wait until you get off the plane. If you don't show some courtesy to your fellow passengers, don't expect any from them.

    Funny how I constantly hear people talking about flying without contacts on (my wife included) and yet I found flying with contacts is far better for me - I even bring re-wettig eye drops and never had to use them even in 9+ hr flights - maybe I’m odd… But, that said, my top flight item has been my iPad with noise cancelling headphones. I set up the ipad for the 9+ hr flight (I never sleep on a plane) and at the end of the flight, I feel like a 9hr flight is done after a couple hours! For context, I am a 53yr old male and I have been flying transatlatic my whole life.

    I hope that you are in good health and enjoying your life. Suggestions for video content, and very important concerns while abroad: In order to help travelers in general, and Canadians in particular while traveling abroad, and since you are such a good communicator, I would like to suggest the following topics for you to address, if possible, please: The importance of having a will and power of attorney for both property and personal care. What if you get demented while living or traveling abroad without family or friends...who is going to decide for you during that critical moment? What to do if one has no family, wife or kids and start losing our memory while living abroad...should one see a lawyer regarding our assets, and other issues? How does one solve the issue of (yahoo, face book etc.) accounts passwords as well as credit cards PIN in case of sudden death abroad...should we contact a lawyer about the same? The importance of having a laminated card in your luggage with all the necessary, and very important contact information regarding the executor of your will, power of attorney, or any other major issue in case of sudden death abroad. The importance of having funeral arrangements made in case of sudden death while traveling abroad. What to do after having returned to Canada from a very long trip abroad concerning getting the OHIP benefits back again What are the options for doing and paying the yearly income tax return in Canada while traveling abroad? How to get your mail from back home while living and traveling abroad? The importance of advising your banks about your travels plans abroad so that your credit / debit cards don't get cancelled while you are traveling. The importance of having good antitheft luggage while abroad to keep you safe. The importance of having a hobby while retired to keep mind and body busy. The importance of seeing a financial advisor in order to prepare for retirement. The suggested early retirement formula to reach (F.I.R.E.) or Financial Independence Retire Early. (total annual expenses x 25) =F.I.R.E. money. Outliving your retirement savings, and the impact of inflation on the monthly budget. The importance of seeing your family doctor for a physical check-up, and getting vaccinated against hepatitis, malaria etc. before going abroad. The importance of having more than one way of getting to your money while abroad. The importance of having travel medical insurance while traveling abroad and your (insurance company suggestions). Stay healthy, safe and thank you.

    Megan, for an Ottawa girl with all its humidity in the summer and dryness in the winter, you sure have sensitive skin. I travelled to the far east and back, over and over, and never encountered all those problems you talk about. To me, an Orleans man, it's always too hot so I just keep the fan on and it becomes bearable.
