How to pack a perfect Carry-on

With the holiday season around the corner we are searching for ideas to make your traveling more enjoyable. We saw this blog (https://arzotravels.com/packing-guide-carry-must-items) and just had to share it with you. It's definitely something that I would use:

STAY ORGANIZED

• A big handbag and often also a wheeled extra carry-on luggage – for the more sporty ones I recommend a backpack

• Plastic bag with a zipper for liquids – more eco-friendly and handy if you travel often is this TSA approved clear travel toiletry bag

• Passports/ID & tickets (extra big wallet)

• Pens and a small journal

ENTERTAINMENT / TECH GEAR

• I have my laptop with me whenever I fly, as I can work etc. – new TSA regulations are stricter now, so you are probably not allowed to take your laptop as a carry-on item.

• A while ago, I thought my tablet is the most useless item I bought in a while – since I can download from Netflix (and thus watch my shows offline) I have found one good argument bringing my tablet with me whenever I travel

• My phone– without doubt one of my most useful and important (travel) item

• Pack a camera I love taking shots from my window seat – and since I take valuables with me, this is in my carry-on bag

• I have to admit, that I still don’t have a kindle, so a “real” book is often an essential

• What would a flight be without music? If I love one thing more than traveling it is actually listening to music with my iPod

• Power charger– how long does your phone battery last? Not long? Neither does mine, so this is an essential.

COMFORT / CLOTHES

• Neck pillow – my best friend when traveling for more than 4 hours

• Warm socks which are also stylish

• I personally do not use a sleeping mask but a must-have for many travelers

• A big and warm scarf is my absolute must-have (which I can use for different purposes)

• Flat shoes which can be easily taken off

• A cardigan which I use occasionally as an extra blanket

• For long-distance flights, compression socks are a must

BEAUTY / STAY FRESH

• Dry shampoo – though I do not use it normally it is perfect after long-distance flights (check size, and choose the small travel size)

• My favorite hairbrush (especially for longer hair) – or if you have less space take a comb

• Refreshing towelettes – though I think they are not eco-friendly sometimes they are just essential and a must.

• Face cream (which I also use as a hand cream, so I do not have to take another cream)

• A small cosmetic bag for your makeup

• Peppermint drops or chewing gums (though I heard chewing gums are not good when you fly, so probably stick to peppermint drops

• Deodorant – I don’t think, I need to explain this further

• Invisibobble hair ties – I hate my hair open when I am in the plane

• Toothbrush & paste should also be self-explanatory as well as mouthwash

• I do not wear much makeup normally, rouge &mascara are my lifesavers, though

• I have dry eyes and so eye drops are a must for me

• I am normally sick when I fly and always have some tissues with me

I will definitely be using this checklist. Hope this helps you too...
