Are you always stuck when it comes to what to pack in your travel bag? Then you’re just like me (and probably thousands of others too). I have found it much easier to organize with a packing list for each of my main bags.
The lists that I include are:
1 | Makeup Bag
2 | Travel Bag
3 | Suitcase Essentials
4 | Toiletry Bag
5 | Beach Bag
So you see… it can be so difficult to coordinate every single one of your necessities; especially if and when you wait until the last minute. The travel bag comes onto the plane with me and contains most of the essentials I need while flying. This mainly comes in handy at the airports and on the plane and doesn’t get used too much during my actual vacation days.
It being my airport/transportation bag, you can imagine what basics I might need! For every traveller I recommend carrying a variety of the following items to keep you sane on that plane!
Sanitizing Wipes
This is my can’t live without bag item! Once I sit down in my seat I wipe the arms and front tray down before touching them. You never know what kind of germs might be lingering on a plane!
Breath Mints
Let’s be honest, sitting around the airports can make you feel kind of gross even if you’ve done nothing. Other times the airport food will leave you wishing you’d brought breath mints!
Water Bottle
Airports don’t typically let you bring your own water past security anymore, but there are always fountains and vendors you can buy a bottle at. I like to bring a refillable bottle so I can stay hydrated all day.
Chapstick
Burt’s Bees is my go-to for keeping my lips moisturized! I purchase a multi-pack on Amazon because I somehow manage to leave them places and forget to put them back. I’ll keep a few in my travel bag to last the whole trip!
Phone Stylus
The Mixoo Stylus is my favorite because it has such a fine tip! It comes with several replacements and is easy to store in your bag. I love using this with my iPad for when I’m travelling.
Hand Lotion
I will periodically reapply hand lotion throughout the day and travelling makes it even more necessary. The L’Occitane She Butter Hand Cream is small and portable + works amazing!
Headphones
I have to have headphones when I’m taking off on a flight! Noise-cancelling ones are the absolute best because you don’t have to worry much about the people around you. I do keep a pair of earbuds in my bag too.
Reading Material
This is all depends on how long the trip is and how much space I have in my bag. I’ll usually download e-books onto my Kindle or iPad so I can save the room, but I always have at least one book for beach trips because they’re easier to read in the sun!
Snacks
The most important part (obviously). I usually take a few granola bars, some crackers, and candy with me when I’m travelling. The snacks in the airport can cost so much (and can be quite unhealthy) which is why I love planning ahead!
Phone Charger
Don’t forget your charger! I did this one trip and boy was I stressed out. I ended up purchasing one at the airport when we landed at our destination. I like to pack a base and 2 charging chords just in case something happens to one.
First Aid
Travel can leave you tired and stressed which could lead to headaches. I always, always carry a mini bottle of ibuprofen in my travel bag so I don’t have to ask around if and when that moment hits! I also pack a few band-aids and TUMS.
Does anyone else shop on Amazon Prime as much as I do? All links above are connected to my cart and boy do I have a lot of orders already this year! #AmazonAddict
Is there anything you pack that I haven’t included here? Let me know in the comments!
Awesome list, I definitely agree with these!
