If you’re in a premium cabin, a flight attendant may hand you a cute amenity kit. But if you’re in the back, you’ll probably have to bring your own.
The air in plane cabins tends to be low in moisture, so bring lip balm to keep your lips from chapping and lotion to keep your skin from flaking.
If you don’t have noise-canceling headphones, bring earplugs to block out the sound of people chewing, chattering, coughing, and pacing up and down the aisles.
An eye mask helps cover your eyes from flashing TV screens, flight attendants’ flashlights, and the light streaming in from any open window shades.
And after a long night of eating airplane food, sipping wine, and then waking up to breakfast and coffee, you’ll appreciate having travel-sized toothpaste and a toothbrush. Or at the very least, bring a stick of gum to freshen up your breath.
