Top 10 In-Flight Essentials for the Holiday Traveler

Traveling on an airplane this holiday season? Long flights, weather delays and uncomfortable seats {most like filthy too} can drive you crazy while traveling. Keep your cool by planning ahead and being organized - here are simple tips on how to pack for a trip.

Now for your carry-on. Here are some essentials to make your plane flight as comfortable as possible:

1. Quiet Comfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones {so you don't have to listen to the poor baby with the ear infection that won't stop crying} by Bose ~ $269.95,
2. Sleep Mask Wings {for that cat nap} from Flight001.com ~ $22
3. Evian Facial Spray {why not?} from Flight001.com ~ $6
4. EO Sanitizing Hand Wipes {organic & biodegradable} from Amazon ~ $37.92 for a 2 pack {insane price for hand wipes I know - the non-organic version is less $}
5. Dolce Shawl Collar Popover sweater {easy-fitting sweater that will look great when you arrive at your destination} by JCrew ~ $58
6. Grid-it Grey Med {gadget organizer} from Flight001.com ~ $22

Happy holidays and safe travels!

  3. I'm never without my eye mask on a flight and I could get happily hooked on this cashmere wrap, too!
    To this collection, I would add my earplugs and a lovely aromatherapy gel that helps me sleep. At least, I've convinced myself it helps me :)
