For long flights, I create a hygiene kit for the end of the flight: a couple of face wipes in a snack bag, some tinted moisturizer in a contact case, travel mascara, Colgate wisp to freshen my teeth, tissue, tinted lip balm and a comb. I put all of this in an eyeglass bag. It is small and discrete and helps me to feel a little more human.

Two pieces of that thin mesh shelf liner in black. One cut the size of the tray table. The other cut in a small circle to fit in the cup indention. Keeps things from sliding around. I always get a thumbs up from flight attendants.

Disinfectant wipes for the tray table - they are rarely cleaned thoroughly.

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@corinnelane8597 yes! As far as I can, tell when I am on a flight that has a layover, but I don’t have to disembark, I never see them cleaning the tray tables. And I only see them remove trash from the seat pocket when they see stuff sticking out of it.. of course, I don’t really blame the flight attendants because they have so little time to get things ready for the next group to come onto the plane. We just have to be prepared ourselves to clean our own seat area once we sit down.😏

[@njhart6236]

for long flights (where I need to sleep) I carry a wash cloth. Before sleep I remove make up, wash my face, and then use the wet washcloth to cover my face (mouth and nose especially) because through the moisture keeps my airways from drying out from the low humidity airplane air. The cloth can also block the light and it won't fall off like a dry cloth. Then when I wake up, I wash my face again and apply make up.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yes! During my long-haul flights I carry many things that are not in this little personal bag. I have a whole series on that, and you can find that in my travel Hacks playlist on my channel.🙏❤️😊

[@betsyhada2936]

For the collapsible water bottles, when you aren’t traveling it’s best to store them unfolded. That helps the materials not get stressed and eventually crack along the fold/roll lines.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Agree. For short term travel, I recommend folding them to take up less space. Once I get home, I unfold to retain shape😊❤️🙏 Thank you for that feedback😊❤️

[@Rennygade1]

I had foldable bottles for a trip to Europe. They made the water taste like rubber. Not appealing. Now I just carry my metal water bottle. So worth it! For a recent trip to Spain, we actually took metal Britta filtering bottles. I don’t know how great they really filter, but we drank tap water for over two weeks and it tasted just fine! I also carry a similar rfid fanny pack on the plane. I keep my phone, my wallet, gum, reading glasses, lip moisturizer, hair tie, and on the way there I still have my car key. It’s definitely not as flat as yours. I’ll work on that! I have loads of other stuff in a backpack under the seat.

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@Rennygade1 Not sure what water bottle you used but the ones I’m using our no aftertaste at all. I carry many other things in a personal loan, a bag that way spec something that I carry in addition to keep everything accessible while flying. What I like about the foldable collapsible water bottles is that I can keep one with me anywhere I go so that it will be able to filter water anywhere in the world. 😊

[@ellybea68]

I live in Australia and travel overseas often so pretty much every flight is a long haul. I always carry a small bag of peanut butter M&Ms for when I just can’t take it any more. For some reason these always help!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Right! Flying is hard enough and flying on long-haul flights can be sometimes unbearable and you just need to have something that’s gonna make you comfortable and get to your destination without being super cranky! I normally don’t eat sugar, but sometimes on a flight I will bring myself a treat like that just so I have something to look forward to! 😊💕

I _always_ have about 5 or 6 Ricola cough drops in my flight bag. I rarely need one myself, but about every third or fourth flight there is someone coughing near me and I hand a couple over to them. Makes for a more pleasant flight for everyone, especially with all the respiratory stuff that is circulating at the moment!

Same! I can fit 5 or 6 cough drops in a very small pill bag. I travel with them and make sure I have them if I go to a theater to see a movie or play. I really don’t like to cough around others.. there’s something about being in close quarters that seems to make me cough.

Several items that I always pack 1) Some AZO tablets ‘cause there’s nothing worse than a UTI when traveling - they can reduce discomfort while waiting to get into urgent care 2) AZO test strips 3) COVID test 4) small multi-port - so many rechargeable items!! 5) moisturizing nasal decongestant spray (can help prevent snoring especially in dry airplane cabin air) 6) wellness formula (available at health food stores) - first sign of URI, start taking capsules - can shorten symptoms - zinc is alternative 7) senna-based laxative - strange water/environment can make for less than optimal comfort (shall we say). 8) a few antacids 9) GasX - change in altitude and pressurized cabin can lead to discomfort

[@TheoryofSimple]

All great ideas and I carry many of those things in my checked bag or in my overhead luggage but I don’t keep those in my personal carry-on, because I only want things that I would be using on my flight or if I absolutely need it if they lost my luggage, but those are great items to take with you, especially on long-haul flights! 🙏❤️😊

A tip: If you have a small toiletries kit in your personal item, put your multitool card or other multitool in there going through TSA and transfer it to your in flight kit afterwards - they are less likely to go thriugh your toiletries and question it.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Great idea! Thank you, Jen!

[@michynature]

Agreed.

[@eileenb1855]

I've had my multi-tool taken by TSA although it was a bit different than one you showed. I was so bummed as I used it so often any method of travel...

[@kazaabitboll2026]

Long haul is 16 hours for me! Great tips. I always apply eye cream anytime I feel the skin around my eyes pulling. I can’t live without hand cream on a plane, so I buy mini tubes just for flying.always take a shawl that can double as an extra cover up or can be pulled over my head. Since Covid I also take rubber disposable gloves maybe 3 sets. If it isn’t possible to go to the toilet to wash my hands or I’m in a bathroom in a crappy airport and there isn’t any soap, I’ll wear gloves then throw them out as I leave.

[@TheoryofSimple]

That is a long haul! Those 16 our flights for me back-and-forth to China we’re always a challenge! I’m gonna be putting that long haul video together soon and I love your idea about having at least one or two pairs of disposable gloves, just in case you need them!🙏😊 truly appreciate your feedback to this community😃

[@zoeydeu2261]

My long haul is Australia to US, can go up to 19 hours 😳

[@suewolf3279]

There are a couple things you bring that I've never thought of and I'm going to buy them. Even on a short flight I will bring eye drops, a tiny little tub of face moisturizer, and a tiny little travel size container of hand cream

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yes and I’ll tell you that tiny toiletries bag that I bring will get me through a week but it’s small enough to put in and I can do my full face and make up right there on the plane so if I have to get off and go to a meeting I’m perfectly ready to go! 😊❤️

[@camm8832]

Just chiming in to say Cerave makes a great face lotion with hylaronic acid which works great for the hands or any other body parts as well so you don't necessarily need separate items for these. Just found your channel and will be following! Happy travels all ☮️ 😊

[@lisawoolfofk9820]

I have my own flight list. here is my list; hand sanitizer bleach wipes, water bottle. Mini flash light, iPad or mac book, battery packs. Cords, lip balm, noise canceling headphones, quart size bags. Gum, toothpicks, tissues, and breath mints. I also include in my purse a mini power strip since i can power up several items using 1 plug in the airport. I like the fanny pack for domestic short flights. I take these items in my purse or backpack when i fly with some snacks everytime i fly.

[@TheoryofSimple]

[@dianedobry800]

I always bring earplanes to wear for takeoff and landing to keep my ears from hurting. I always have a Werthers hard candy or a throat soothing lollipop if I have a tickle in my throat or start to cough or get dry. Sometimes I have hospital socks for long flights to put over thinner socks or bare feet while relaxing. I have alcohol prep pads for wiping things down and I have plug-in headphones. Don’t want ear pods especially on a plane. When things drop they sometimes disappear. I listen to audible books on long flights. I also bring my own sweetener or healthier sweetener options like monk fruit or raw sugar packets. In addition I have a small journal generally. I love your idea of the plastic bag as well as the travel cup to get hot water from the gate restaurants since hot plane water is suspect. And soup! Genius to bring a ramen cup for a meal. I have swallowing issues and generally eat soup. When I last went on a cross-Atlantic trip I was starving because I could not eat the solid food served. A cup of ramen and a cup of tea would be nice.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Great tips! Thank you for sharing! Soup is my goto when traveling! 😊

[@t.e.1189]

This is my first video of yours that I have seen. Don't plan on flying any time soon, but still found it very informative. Liked the vest, but I would forget where everything is at. And yes to the longer flight pack. Just wanted to say it is encouraging to her to say you brought the mask in case the person next to you feels uncomfortable because your not wearing one. Thinking of others and putting their interest ahead of our own seems to be a lost art these days. Thank you.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much and welcome to Theory of Simple I’m so happy you found my channel. I don’t know win being thoughtful and kind to others went out of style, but I think you’re right a lot of people think it’s just all about them. I try to be a cognizant as possible of others, especially on flights, were packed in so close to each other, and share so much of the same space. For example, I don’t put extra things in the overhead bins so that other people can have space and I try to keep everything in my little station and not bother anyone else on my flight. I’m so happy that you were able to recognize that and want to thank you for pointing that out. I’m hoping that by doing these things others will be inspired to do the same.😊🙏

[@cltinturkey]

I agree with you that a little courtesy and kindness to others goes a long way in making the flight more pleasant for all. Reclined seats always bug me. It's okay to go back a small way (2-3 inches), but not the full extension. Those who insist on being fully reclined make moving around the plane cramped and difficult. You can't use a tablet or phone in the limited space left, and it's difficult to eat or use the tray table at all. I recently complimented the well-behaved young (2 and 4 years old) lady and gentleman who traveled near me on an 8-hour flight. Their mother reinforced the kudos. They were great and will likely be courteous adult travelers!

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@cltinturkey yes, it’s very difficult with those seats can recline so far back that the person behind you can’t even use their tray table. I always wonder who did the user testing on those types of things! 🤔

One of my proudest days was when my kids were 3 and 6 and we flew 5 hours to Baltimore. When the plane landed and everyone stood up, the ladies in front us were shocked that there were two kids sitting behind them.

[@cltinturkey]

@@conniekershaw4412 Traveling makes everyone tired, and I imagine children get so bored. Kudos to all parents who bring things to entertain and who watch over their children.

[@Lyn4817]

Our last trip to Chine we started using the multi packet vest, what a life saver and brilliant idea. I do include personally sized moulded ear plugs. About four hours into a 7/8 flight a child near me started being completely obnoxious. As the flight was preparing its descent to land a woman on the others side of the aisle but one seat back, tapped me on the shoulder. She complimented me for not only being prepared for the screaming kid but smart thinking ahead. I had a lovely couple of hours nap while junior continued the sideshow. Funny some people scoff others are envious when they see you come prepared to make yourself comfortable. So well done, I have subscribed and look forward to seeing other tips and tricks I may have missed. Good on you for being prepared and flying smart. My mind goes one step further after being in Emergency Services for ten years in my younger days. I do think of what may be needed in case of surviving a downed aircraft. Odds of survival aren't great but just in case, I Want a few handy items. You may want to include a mylar emergency blanket in your waist bag. They are extremely light, fold up small and take up little too no room.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Oh my gosh, we must be related! We have such similar thinking styles about being prepared. I know some people don’t want to carry a lot of stuff with them when they fly they may not use, but sometimes just having a few things can make all the difference in the world in your comfort and safety.. I’ve flown enough times where things have just gone wrong, and we’ve been diverted and sat on tarmacs, and people got angry or thrown off the plane. So I just try to stay in my little seat and be comfortable and quiet. I love the idea of the mylar emergency blanket just in case. Plus it’s always good to have that on your trip.🙏😊❤️ Thank you so much for that helpful hack, and for sharing that with all of us.🙏😊❤️

[@Lyn4817]

@@TheoryofSimple Your welcome. Yes it's nice knowing there is someone else like minded in the world. We were on one trip many years ago, it was a bus tour. Two young girls were also on the trip from our home State. The day we were leaving to start our trip home, the girls told the driver that they were sick. Thankfully the driver relayed what was wrong. Grabbing my bag I asked the driver to give the girls 30 minutes. Off I went and doses them both up on medication for nausea and diarrhoea. Luckily they had packed their bags. In 25 minutes we had their bags on board and two very unwell girls sitting in front of us, at the back of the bus. Neither girl had to use the bathroom once we got moving. Within a short while they really started feeling better and by lunch time they copped with some food and fluids. That night at our overnight hotel stop, both the girls were fine and so relieved they hadn't been stranded days away from their homes. So it pays to be prepared, even if it is too help others. All the best on your future travels.

Great list. I use all these things but the Fanny pack for a foot sling is the best tip ever! coming from a cold climate I normally would have a winter coat so I use one that folds up into a neck pillow basically or I use a shawl (otherwise known as my bat cape lol). This ‘shawl’ has been very helpful on all parts of the trip as it’s really like a blanket. Noise cancelling earphones are a must as well. One flight I had regular earbuds but this woman behind me was snapping her gum so damn loud I could hear it even though I had my music on full blast in my ears! I couldn’t believe it. Last time I flew economy as well.

[@TheoryofSimple]

I have seen these things & think it’s a great concept. The only thing for me is, it’s another extra thing I have to carry around through the airport. Whereas when I wear my jacket and everything it’s easy to carry around as I’m wearing it and if I don’t wanna wear it, I have a special strap on my bag that will hold my jacket and they will always let me bring that on, and I can take my jacket and roll it up in my scarf and create a pillow with it so the scarf then becomes similar to that too but also something that is multipurpose because I can use it as a scarf or as a sarong, so I want some thing that’s multipurpose when I travel😊

I don’t have to worry about my feet being yucky after the flight.

Great idea! I always carry one or two reusable roll-up tote bags. They come in handy at markets, with travel gear, and in many other ways. Most countries I visit now charge for bags at grocery or other markets. I just pull mine out and save a few dollars and help the environment here and there. Someone recommended buying a reusable grocery tote from the local store when you're traveling internationally. It will be handy, help you fit in, and make you stand out less as a vulnerable foreigner in a crowd.

I have a lovely 3D velvet eye mask with built in speakers so I don’t have to worry about headphones or AirPods falling out while I sleep, and the flat shape of the mask means I have more room to lean on my side. The mask also has one setting for different choices of white noise. It’s amazing

My daughter and I always wear ear plugs to block out crying babies and others conversations. She also brings an eye mask when she wants to nap on the plane. It is helpful if someone near you has a reading light on or the window shade open.

Exactly! I carry them too on longer flights! 😊🙏❤️

[@patricialuna3016]

For any length flight, I carry my pillow armrest for whatever arm is next to the window (I'm a window seater). This props that arm up for leaning support. I make my own - just rice in a tube sewn shut. I later use the same armrest as a wrist rest when computing. Yes, please - what you carry for long flights ! Thanks and excellent video.

I didn't think anyone else like me was out there. I am ready for anything, anytime. Home, car and my small purse. I also love finding small gadgets that make life easier. I can be gone all day with what I squeeze in my little crossbody purse. Instead of the air sickness bags, I carry doggy poo bags

[@TheoryofSimple]

Birds of a feather! 💕I always carry a dog poop bag too! They get so small and are so useful! 😊

Having these comfort and hygiene items make a flight more bearable. I always wear a colorful scarf that can double as a pillow or give extra warmth. A bandanna can serve as napkin, small hobo bag to carry items, a washcloth, and many other things. I always have water, music and audiobooks to entertain me.

I watch a LOT of videos like this and yet, somehow, you came up with several new ideas I hadn't seen before. I am very excited to see they make a dongle for airpods! I always bring ziploc bags and/or doggy bags for trash (just recently I found some that have a sticky stripe on them so you can attach them to your tray table), but I never thought to use a ziploc to protect my items in the seat-front pocket. Such a simple idea but so smart, esp. for kids to use to keep things together if nothing else. When my daughter was younger, she left a couple important items in a plane pocket in Europe which we had no chance of retrieving. This was even after she had checked that pocket before disembarking. One thing for traveling in general, not so much for the personal item bag, is for those people who do need to wear a belt, there is a brand called "Invisibelt" that has a couple versions (one is clear plastic, the other is black with a stretchy elastic). Neither have any metal so they don't need to be removed going through security. I have a long scarf that has big open pockets on each end. I wear it on the plane to hold my phone, tissues, ear buds, etc. so I don't have to put everything on my lap in order to close the tray table to access my bag at my feet, etc. It keeps things safe and off the floor if I fall asleep as well. I use a carabiner to attach my sneakers or boots to my in-flight bag under my seat then switch to FitKicks barefoot-type shoes on the plane. They have a small sole so you are still wearing shoes, but they fold up flat. Another handy item is the TURTL neck "pillow". Folds up flat as well and is very comfortable as it props up your head while you are sleeping. No more of those jerky movements that scare you awake. :) Thanks so much for all of your great ideas!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much! Also, thank you so much for the suggestions on the additional things that make our flight so much easier💕😊

Eunice, you are the master of both organization and preparation! I need some of the items on your list! I usually put my in-flight items in my personal item, and have not been happy with that. I often forget which pocket I put them in, so it's quite inefficient. I also take wired ear buds, lotion and my e-reader. Please do a long haul bag video too!

[@TheoryofSimple]

The ziploc is a good idea! But I'll probably use a trusty ole plastic grocery bag. I always bring some with me on trips anyway. I use them for dirty clothes, packing shoes, all sorts of things... I've also noticed that whitening gum does make my teeth feel a bit cleaner (not as good as brushing, but better than nothing!). I bring gum anyway because of my ears. So it serves three purposes... cleaner teeth, better breath, and equalizing the pressure in my ears!

Proud fanny pack wearer here. I carry range shooting earmuffs for sound protection. Mainly because people who chew gum can't do it with their mouth closed or without popping/cracking. It's also great for blocking out conversations around you. It does help with the reduction of airplane hum. They fit over my iPhone earbuds (corded) and I can hear the inflight entertainment so much better. My fidget craft for flying is cross stitch as it is extremely portable. I can make very tiny kits that can fit anywhere. I use nail clippers to cut the thread. As for using the fanny pack as a foot sling is a brilliant idea that I may have to try! Typically, I pack an underseat bag that I don't mind puting my feet on to alleviate some of that pressure.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Great ideas! Depending on time of year I sometimes bring a crochet project! Usually, I finish it and leave it with someone I am visiting. 😊

The only thing I can really add is shoe covers!!! Nobody has mentioned them that I have seen, and they are so handy. Simply keep a pair or two in a zip lock bag. Use them when going into the water closet on the flight, or on iffy hotel room floors. They take up no space, like and extra pair of slippers do. I use them at home too. I keep a pair by the door, so I don't have to remove muddy shoes when running into the house for something while gardening.

Great vlog Eunice and yes to the long haul list~ I have a denim jacket from Chicos that covers my rear & has multiple interior/exterior pockets. Then I have the Tilley hat with storage (took that to Peru) and a scarf that hides & holds all the things with multiple hidden pockets. My daughter gave me her GAP denim jacket about 20 yrs ago & I just re gifted that back to her & the grand daughters at Christmas, so I needed the new denim. My items are similar, but I always have travel toothbrush & toothpaste, meds for migraines, Cottonelle wipes and for some odd reason my small tape measure. I added the caribaner that you suggested. What great uses for the air sickness bags ! My kids collected those thru the years from all the international airlines and we would store photos in them after our trips. Also they would get autographs on them if we ever ran into famous folks. (being that ATL was our home base, that happened frequently ) I loved the sparkle in your eyes when you talked about the luminary 😉 SONshine !

You could be at Stage Three for a very long time. My mother-in-law is at Stage Four. She's 94 and it is not a concern. So, maybe you will have a similar result.

Love the zip loc bag idea Eunice! Now don't laugh but the one thing that I like to carry along is a little vic's inhaler stick...It relaxes me and clears my sinuses and hey let's face it ...sometimes there are funcky smells around... it comes to the rescue...hehehe...

[@TheoryofSimple]

I think that’s a great idea! It gets so stuffy on the plane! 😊 thanks for sharing that tip!❤️

[@julie-joywilliams7280]

@@TheoryofSimple It's helpful for headaches too and it is so small you can just slip it into any pocket or bag or your fanny pack.

I love my Vicks inhaler!!

WOW! Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much, Judy🙏❤️😊 I’m looking forward to bringing you more great videos❤️

[@luckypenny4263]

Lol love it! I’m never ashamed to use a fanny bag. If it gets me to bring what I need I’m in. Everything usually returns back in style. ❤

[@TheoryofSimple]

I’m like you! I really don’t care what anyone else thinks. I need to get my stuff and have things Handy and anybody else wants to make fun of it. Well, that’s their problem not mine.😊❤️🙏

I love the vest! I love the idea of wearing that and cargo utility pants to get around the number of personal items you can carry!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yes, cargo pants and there’s vest you could probably pack everything in that ensemble🙏😂❤️

Nightmare at TSA though

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@karenvonbargen4472 actually, it’s not a nightmare at all. You just take the best off and put it in a bin and it goes through just like a purse.😊

I always carry a reusable fork. Too many times I’ve purchased something to eat and didn’t get any utensils- ugh.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yes! Yes! Yes! I always carry one in my food pack and my bento boxes always come with them! 😊

[@marjiecleveland]

I also carry a sleep mask and ear plugs.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Hi Marjie! I keep those in my long haul bag! 😊

[@SenterStuff61]

Long Haul Bag, please! Your videos are so helpful. I am preparing for a trip in the fall and I have learned so much from you! Thanks!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much Cassandra! I’m so happy you’re getting some great hacks for my video, and I will be making that long haul video soon!😊

[@barbarawright8956]

I love your channel. I can’t keep up with you with all the bags. I understand about your bags.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much 🙏😊❤️I really am the bag, Lady! And I think I inherited it from my mother! We are always compartmentalizing things in bags!

[@mkkrum7734]

What a great list! I added a handful of things to my tiny waist pack thanks to your recommendations! Thank you!

[@TheoryofSimple]

You are so very welcome! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback🙏😊❤️

[@241JMJR]

Love your idea to use it as a footrest. Multi purpose items are the best for travel.

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@241JMJR thanks! Versatility is the key!😊

[@nupt9473]

Loved the video and would definitely like to see your long haul version. I mostly travel internationally and most videos like this are nothing new but your tips and presentation style were great. I haven't seen an air sick bag on a flight in years but that's a great hack, the twist tie makes it perfect. Thanks

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much! I have started a tiny collection of those air sick bags because not all airlines have them! I’m working on a long haul video do so stay tuned! 😊

[@kelle1808]

Wonder if those types of bags can be purchased?

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@kelle1808 here is the link to some that I found on Amazon. They are paper with plastic coating, so I’m not exactly the same but they will do the trick. amzn.to/3K7zdPC
