Useful travel items that make short and long haul holidays easier

[Missohnoyoubetterdont]

Does anyone have any tips for really useful things to take away with them when travelling. It’s just a short haul trip bit long haul too? Things that have made life easier. I have just discovered packing cubes…but late to the game but have really organised my suitcase!

Thanks .

We usually fly hand luggage only and do this.

Packing cubes too heavy? Mine are mesh, if they hit 110gs I’d be surprised

I never had issues with Paracetemol and Ibuprofen. But if you have anything prescribed then keep it in your hand luggage, in the original box with the prescription label.

If you have anything really strong, some countries do have lists with forbidden items and you may need to get a permit. Some ME countries are very strict.

Medication is normally also outside the 100ml limit but again, you then need the prescription.

Just weighed mine.
4 = 340g

I just count out the number of tablets for the number of days! For Europe.
Was in central Asia last year and often to Abu Dhabi and for those definitely keep packets and a copy of your prescription (tho no one has ever been even mildly interested).
Check the country’s website for drugs that are not allowed.

If you’re travelling long haul, I can’t recommend an AirFly enough - it lets you can connect your wireless headphones to the plane tv, so much comfier on the ears than the basic headphones you get given!

Thanks

Not to mention that your stuff is filling up landfill in someone else's country. Not very responsible or kind.🙁

I keep those diddy jam jars you get with an afternoon tea or scone and clean them to decant chilli flakes or dried herbs into for self catering holiday in the uk.

A spoon.
Roll of bin liners
Pillowcase

😂What's the spoon for ? To gouge someeone's eye out when they nick your window seat ?
