\nThe Week reported that keeping any medication<\/a> handy is important when getting on your\u00a0plane ride. This may be a prescription\u00a0or even just an over-the-counter pill for motion sickness.<\/p>\n
\"Keeping any medication handy is important when getting on your plane ride.\"<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If you find yourself on an especially crowded flight, consider storing your medication in a personal item like a purse or backpack that you can keep with you at your seat.<\/p>\n
Other health or hygiene items should also be packed in a carry-on. Pack a small plastic baggie with a toothbrush, face wipes and other items that will keep you feeling fresh on a longer flight. You may even consider bringing aboard a small bottle of water to avoid getting dehydrated.<\/p>\n
2. Extra clothes<\/strong> Extra clothes are also important for staying comfortable. Pack a light jacket or even a scarf to use if things get too chilly on your plane ride. At the same time, pack a t-shirt in case a mid-flight change is necessary.<\/p>\n 3. Entertainment options<\/strong> When traveling with children, packing entertainment items becomes even more crucial. A few toys, a coloring book or a deck of cards may help your restless son or daughter calm down and enjoy themselves.<\/p>\n 4. Valuables<\/strong> Having access to your passport, hotel reservation information and other items can be required when traveling abroad, but even making sure your cell phone and a charger are close at hand is a good idea for minimizing the risks associated with a lost bag.<\/p>\n 5. A pen<\/strong> A pen can also be used to doodle or draw, as well as fill out crosswords or Sudoku puzzles found in in-flight magazines. Even if you've planned ahead and packed a few entertainment items, the humble pen may still prove to be a valuable resource. Likewise, the airline may offer surveys that come with a raffle or other prize. Seasoned travelers have packing down to a science, and when it comes to filling up your carry-on bag, having the right items on hand can make a world of difference. Not only are there logistical reasons to be methodical when packing your carry-on, but for longer flights, having goodies and perks can be essential for not getting uncomfortable or stir-crazy.

\nBeing proactive about what clothes to pack in a carry-on bag can make a big difference. If your checked bag gets lost, having a change of clothes can be very helpful, and some folks may even enjoy having an extra set of underwear or socks for long flights.<\/p>\n
\nTraveler reported that selecting items that will help you avoid boredom<\/a> is an important but perhaps overlooked part of packing a carry-on bag. Even for flights that have in-flight entertainment options, bringing along items of your choosing\u00a0is imperative. A book or tablet can fit snuggly in most carry-on bags and can provide hours of enjoyment.<\/p>\n![\"Your](\"https:\/\/ci4.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/Utdqzda_RvEy2uRPGx3MxDsvdBGtFsaVDgDBT0U-SCqp8Vkf9bvYzUconqIA6ddxBHpV3-omX8osbm23OqhEA1uhO1twRYXX00db=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/pictures.brafton.com\/x_0_0_0_14087635_800.jpg\")
<\/u>Your little one may really appreciate having something to do in-flight.<\/u><\/div>\n
\nSimilar to keeping your important medications handy, storing valuables like a wallet or passport in your carry-on bag is essential for any traveler. Whether you are going on a quick business trip<\/a> or an international vacation, be sure to plan ahead when packing.<\/p>\n
\nWhen it comes to having a successful flight, sometimes having something as simple as a pen can make everything easier. You may be required to fill out information related to immigration or customs, and although a flight attendant can probably fish out a writing utensil, having a pen handy avoids any delay when finishing required paperwork.<\/p>\n
