What to Carry in Your Carry-on Bag on an Overseas Flight
Along with two bags full of clothes, toiletries, and gifts, I carry a good sized carry-on bag on my overseas flights. This bag has lots of space, pockets and zippers galore and room for everything I need for my long flight.
I keep my passport and plane ticket in an outer pocket ready for easy access. I also keep my oversized wallet handy but in a different compartment. I know where these three items are at all times I could lose everything else and still survive with these essentials.
I have my laptop and power cable in another compartment and use it while waiting for my flight. A book and a magazine are in the bag and will not be needed until I am in the air. I also bring a bag of trail mix in case the airline food isnt up to par.
Smaller items are in a little pocket of my backpack. These include gum, mints, pens, keys, change, and any other little things I need to stow. I keep my noise reduction headphones near the top of my bag since they will be one of the first items out as soon as I get my seat. My glasses are also on top because I will need them for reading.
