My travel Essentials

When travelling I have to make sure I am prepared days in advanced, weather this is packing hand luggage , packing my clothes making sure I have travel docs. Over the past few years I have come up a list of what to take on holiday so I can be fully prepared and won’t forget anything.

For my hand luggage I will always have the obvious such as my passport phone and headphones. I recommend wireless earphones and you don’t have to mess around with wires in your bag, or if your in middle seat where you have to keep getting up. I recommend apple AirPods, even tho they are a-bit pricey there convenient and the quality is really good.Another thing i always have to take is my neck pillow ( I recommend a blow up neck pillow)

Recently I have started to download movies on my iPad on apps such as Netflix as they may have no TVs on the airplane or at least nothing I like. Another thing I have learnt is to always bring a portable charger I recommend one with a long battery life , you can buy ones off of amazon for around £15.

In my suitcase I will pack an outfit for every single night I’m there and two extra as you better safe than sorry. (Can’t forget the necessities socks,underwear etc) When travelling for only a short period of time such as a long weekend, it may be easier to just take hand luggage especially if you are a solo traveler. Buy a small suitcase that can fit into the over head cabin, this will save you time getting through the airport. It will also prevent from your suitcase getting lost.

Tips and tricks:

1. Roll clothes in your suitcase to create more space in your suitcase

2.bring a travel adapter as you never now when you will need one

3.always bring a spare of everything

4. Bring your own travel washing detergent

5. Bring a neck pillow so your more comfortable whilst travelling

6.take a change of clothes and a swim suit(only if your going to a hot destination) in your hand luggage incase your luggage gets lost

7. At least go to the airport 1hour and 30 mins before your flight , although the flight closes 45 minutes before take off you never know what the traffic or queues are going to be like

8. Sound blocking earphones are an essential for over night flights as you don’t want to have a steaming baby or loud passengers keeping you up all night

9. Last but not least , bring snacks. You don’t know what’s going to be served on the plane and you may not like it , so always bring either a few bags of some snacks or buy something from the airport
