I tried slippers like that and they took up too much room in my knapsack as i wear size 10. I switched to the Nufoot ballet flats from Amazon. Made of neoprene so they don't absorb anything ucky in the washroom, they just slip into a baggie when not in use. They came out of the washer beautifully and are ready for their next trip. Thanks for reminding me why I could not read Geisha, Jen!

I've been watching your videos for a while. Thanks for sharing the BCozy neck pillow. I just used it on a flight back from Paris and it worked so well. My search for a travel pillow has finally ended. and now I make sure I have a "cabin bag" since its so hard to access your personal item in those economy seats. Like you, I love all items related to travel.

I’ve gotten a couple of ideas for my next long haul! An easy trash option is dog poo bags. I keep a few in my flight back and they fold so flat, they take up no room! I also collect small bags specifically for this purpose. The flight attendants appreciated it.

A collapsible mug with a screw lid was very handy to not spill drinks. It's a good idea if you do intend to try to get some sleep to buckle the seatbelt over your blankets otherwise the hostesses will wake you up when there is turbulence. We didn't take an empty water bottle with us as we intended to buy a bottle at the airport however on our return there was a massive queue and we were rushed through security and couldn't find anywhere to buy water quickly enough, but I did notice there were plenty of water taps so next time I will definitely bring an empty water bottle with me. A set of travel cutlery (plastic of course) was also very useful as my daughter dropped her cutlery on the floor and the hostesses didn't come back around for a very long time so she was able to use my travel cutlery set. A small torch as well to find things in your bag when the lights are out. Great tips thanks x

The flight attendant wouldn't have to wake me for turbulence because a) I would be awake already because I can't sleep on planes and b) if the medication for flying assistance did manage to allow for any calm restful moments, the turbulence would end that quickly. Do most long haul flights have seat back entertainment?

Great tips on travel! Side note on an important topic: Compression socks should be a MUST for everyone! We lived in Ramallah, Palestine for 3 years from 2012- 2015. We flew via El Al airline one time to Czech Republic and back. Never again for that airline! Ugh! Loved Czech Republic! Won't go into whole scene, but because of the severe lack of any leg room for even short people like myself and husband (5' 4"" and 5' 5" respectively) we were a mess. I had cankles upon arrival - elephant ankles - like I've never had before. It was scary!

This was a great follow-up! So happy that you got real sleep on an airplane! Yes! Bags for trash always go into my under seat bag. I learned that when flying with little kids. Even on relatively short flights, oh the detritus they generate! I always feel mildly claustrophobic in my seat and having a nest place to put all those scraps is essential.

My husband bought it for me and I used it for my 2 week trip to Australia (got home last night) and it was awesome! So glad I bought it and it really is deceiving, because it holds more than you think it will. I will be using that on all my trips. I also have the Airfly and used that with my Beats noise cancelling headphones and watched a Netflix series I downloaded on my iPad. It worked great!! We had an awesome trip in Australia, and I am looking forward to watching your Japan vlogs! Thanks again!!

I fly longhaul regularly. My #1 items are disposable plastic gloves to wear to toilet and leggins + tshirt + underwear in my carry on. Why? Because if luggage doesn't arrive, stuff gets spilled on you (other passenger's vomit, turbulence during meal service, your seat is wet when you get on the airplane...😱) Sadly all of those things have happened to me.

I bought some foam ear protectors, you roll them up between your fingers and stick them inside the ear canal. I learned about them when I went to a gun range. They are called foam ear plugs. Nine bucks for 60 pairs. I got 38 DB, that is decibels. You can choose how strong you want them. Since I rarely sleep on a flight, I planned to roll up my sweater or jacket around my neck. I experimented with that. If you roll it up and wrap it around your neck, it secures your neck a little bit. It is also free.

I also keep my passport in a little ziploc bag. Be sure to carry a printout of your flight verification. I went to the UK, and on leaving to go to France, in a car, at Dover, the border control guy wanted to see my flight verification. He said that every time you go through security you need to show it. Although I had a stamp in it from Heathrow already. I felt he was yanking my chain a little, but these are people with no sense of humor. I think it is a job requirement.

If you don't have one of those small vanity trash bags, or a ziplock bag to use in the pocket of the seat in front of you, look for what we used to call a barf bag and use that for your trash. Almost every seat has a disposable bag for either a diaper or for air sickness.

It’s a tough question to answer because obviously if the budget allows I would absolutely upgrade. Having said that I’ve done many long haul flights in economy when the budget didn’t allow and I certainly think you can be comfortable if you plan accordingly! We have a trip to Greece coming up and could spend our money in an upgraded hotel OR first class tickets but not both and we chose the hotel as that’s a lot larger percentage of our overall trip.

You’re so kind. Honestly I spent 30 years not talking about it and normalizing talking about it has taken a minute but lots of therapy later it’s a good place to be in.❤️

I just found your channel. Did you use the bag with the magnet at your seat? We are taking our first Japan trip. Wondering if you were missing any items or which were perfect for that seat bag.

Yes I kept that at my seat and you really don't need much (or at least I don't) just my headphones, my neck pillow, my eye mask and some lip balm and moisturizer (and my water) is usually sufficient.

Hi! Did the neck pillow get in the way of your headphones and vice versa? That’s my hang up in buying a neck pillow. The headphones are the most important for me.

It worked beautifully and I was able to manage the Bose headphones, ridiculous eye mask AND the neck pillow. I would practice in advance 😂

I literally just purchased plastic trash bags with handles that are used for diapers to take me on the plane. I hate having trash around me during a flight and have not place to place it. I know it sounds OCD. LOL

Hi Jen! Love your videos. Q: How were you able to get the Palette by Pak on the plane? Wouldn't those contents be considered as liquids and been required to fit in a liquids bag?
@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge
@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge Жыл бұрын
The newer airports all have screening machines that no longer require liquids to be in a separate bag (although that IS still the rule). I have now taken it on over a dozen flights have never had a problem. Not that it couldn't happen but worst case they'd take it away.

I look forward to seeing your Japan videos. I am not a good flyer so I cannot imagine a 12 hour flight. So all those self care things you packed would definitely help.

Loved this, Jen. It is wonderful to be able to stretch out in a bulkhead seat on a long trip. I recently did so on a trans-atlantic flight. I just didn't like having to put my personal item in overhead storage - I dislike having to open those bins during the flight to get what want to have handy for the duration. Any ideas you have would be welcome!

YUP - once you take off take the bag down and leave it at your feet until landing. I had mine on the floor the whole time and it worked great!

Most major airports now have xray machines that don't require liquids to be in a separate bag. Having said that, when I'm traveling international and won't have access to TSA pre-check, I still put my liquids in a separate clear toiletry bag.
