Anyone who’s flown on a plane knows that your carry on is your most important accessory. I have a carry on for every flight i’ve taken, no matter how long or short. My handy-dandy grey Fjallraven Kanken backpack holds everything that I will need on my flight so I don’t have to worry about not having what I need. Here is a list of 3 things that I believe should be in everyone’s carry-on.
The first thing I think that everyone needs in their carry-on is a good, comfortable pair of headphones. Nothing makes my head pound more than the sound of that airplane engine. That droning sound that makes it seem like you’re in a spaceship and not an airplane.Listening to my playlist always seems to keep that sound from my ears but it also seems to make the time pass faster.
Our second flight necessity is a couple of good snacks. I always seem to get the munchies when I’m on a flight and I’m not the biggest fan of what they sell inflight. If you know you’re going to get hungry during the flight then it’s definitely best to bring some snacks. I would suggest to bring a healthy snack but that would be hypocritical because my snacks of choice definitely consist of mostly chocolate. An empty stomach and the air pressure on your flight is the perfect mixture for an upset stomach and a very unpleasant flight. Feeling sick and being on a flight is the absolute worst.
The most important part of my carry-on is my book. I know, I know old fashioned right? I love to read and I think that if other people gave it a chance, they would love to read too. Just like in the car, I always seem to get a headache when I’m on my phone but when I read I never get one. Just one of the many perks of reading a book rather than being on your phone. There also isn’t any service on an airplane and the wifi rarely works so being on your phone isn’t always an option. Although you can just download some movies and your playlist, it’s always a good idea to have a backup book.
Your carry-on is a very important part of your flight because of the important things that it holds. It contains all your flight necessities for getting through a flight successfully so next time you are preparing to go on a flight think of these three things. They could save you from having a very unpleasant flight.
