Essentials To Include When Packing Your Carry-On

Having a wallet dedicated for travel is a great idea to ensure everything you need, wallet-wise, is all in one place, and easily assessable. Matt & Nat’s Travel Wallet features 13 card slots, 3 bill compartments, a passport slot, chequebook slot, and zipper coin pouch. What else could we possibly ask for?

It goes without saying that bringing any chargers you may need while away is essential to pack. But having all kinds of wires in your carry-on can be a pain – that and finding an outlet. Which is why this Portable Power Bank, that actually comes with different cables is perfection for travel.

A toiletry bag full of all your beauty essentials is a must while travelling. Away’s Cosmetic Bag will fit everything you may need. It features a detachable brush roll that snaps to the top lid to keep makeup brushes separate, a spill-proof compartment at the bottom, and neoprene and clear zip pockets for added storage and accessibility.

While any earphones or headphones will do, a pair of noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones are such a luxury while travelling. Especially via plane. Even if you’re not actively listening to anything, they help block out the extra noise.

We all know how germy travelling can be. Bringing along hand sanitizer is key. As long as it’s under 100ml, you should be good to bring it on your carry-on. We love Dr. Bronner’s Lavendar Organic Spray Hand Sanitizer. It smells great, and it feels luxe to use.

There’s something about travelling and flying that just sucks all the moisture out of your face. Which is why we always have Summer Fridays’ Jet Leg Mask on standby, ready to apply. It hydrates the skin like no other mask – and you can leave it on.

Books take up so much space in a carry-on, so a Kindle is the ideal choice while travelling. Plus, then you don’t have to choose just 1 or 2 books. The options are endless!

Keep hydrated everywhere you go with this 32oz water bottle from Amazon. It comes in a bunch of cute colours and can keep water cold for 24 hours!

If you’re not already wearing it, at least one super cozy sweat set should be on your carry-on. It’s practically illegal to travel in jeans, after all. Roots is our go-to for comfy sweats all year round!

When it comes to travelling, safety should always come first. Birdie’s Safety Alarm, when activated, produces a loud siren, as loud as a jet engine 100 feet overhead, and a flashing strobe light to help distract and deter an attack, as well as flag for help. And unlike pepper-spray, it’s safe to travel with!

No one likes to feel hungry while travelling. The hunger can quickly turn to “hanger” with all the added stress. Pack some travel-friendly snacks like granola bars on your carry-on!
