Question

What would you take on holiday with you in your hand luggage?

Variety is good.

Longest list gets best answer.

Answer 1

Here's a list of things I usually bring for a flight/train trip:

Sweater or travel blanket (there are never enough onboard and sometimes it gets cold)

Fully charged I-Pod or MP3 player

Earplugs/Eyemask (In case it's a long flight and you want to catch a few winks)

Water bottle (I always bring an empty to fill up after security)

Snack (I always pack a box of animial crackers in case there's an upset little one sitting near me - twice this year already - works like a charm!)

Chewing gum

Medications

* Toothpaste/toothbrush

* Moisturizer (My skin always dries out on long flights)

* Lipbalm/lipgloss

* Make up

Hairbrush

A book/magazine/reading material

Notebook & pen

Travel itinerary/travel documents

Wallet/ID/credit cards/cash/handbag

Cell phone/charger

Camera/accessories

Change of clothing

Jewelry/anything expensive that couldn't be replaced

A sense of humor / patience

I have a great weekend bag that I bought from Halsea a few months ago: http://www.halsea.com/html/chinaCoveWeek...

I have the Sunset pink and I love this bag. I always travel with it now and I get lots of compliments. It's great for a long flight or if I'm going somewhere for a few days, I can fit everything I need inside.

P.S. - Remember when carrying liquids *, you need to stick to the 3-1-1 rule. (http://www.tsa.gov/311/index.shtm)

Answer 4

Anything you absolutely can't live without...in case your checked bags are lost.

I've learned to rely & live by the rule of only traveling with my large land luggage,that can be boarded with me.

1)cosmetics.

2)favorite casual clothes & 1 dress,shoes,sandals,smaller handbag,bras,underwear,casual jewelry,favorite anything!

3)Also remember. You are still allowed your handbag.So I'd place inportant items that are irreplasable in that.

4)Basically, think, if I only get to keep my hand luggage & purse,what would make my trip a huge success & not a bummer.

I used to travel a great deall, even before 9/11 - So trust me on this one.
