Roman Samborskyi/ShutterstockI just got back from a week at the beach. We drove there so we were able to bring all of our earthly possessions with us, as we're apt to do in my family. However, if you're traveling somewhere by plane, you'll need to pack a bit more strategically.
Your carry on bag is really the most important thing to consider when packing for a trip. If your checked luggage is lost or delayed, you'll want to make sure you have some essentials to get you through the next 24 hours. Here’s what your carry on should contain, according to experts:
- Mask and gloves
- Disinfecting wipes/sanitizer
- Toiletry bag fully loaded
- Your laptop
- Travel wallet for your ID, passport, money, and plane ticket
- Important medications
- Headphones or earbuds
- Your phone
- Extra layers of clothing
- Your valuable jewelry
- Empty water bottle to fill up after you go through security
- Your tablet or e-reader
- Travel snacks
Popsugar even has some recommendations on specific products to include in your carry on bag. Check them out HERE.
