For you globetrotters, this kit is a must. There is nothing worse than arriving at your new destination only to realize you forgot to bring or purchase an adapter and your phone/ computer dies.

So, you don’t need to get this exact style but why not feel like Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany’s! Really what is important is a nice silk sleeping eye mask.
Airplanes are notorious for being cold and you dont want to stay in your street shoes the whole time, that is a quick way to have swollen feet when you get off and it’s just not comfortable, so pack a pair of warm socks that you can slip into when you leave and take off when you land.
In the same vein of always being cold, we never fly without our beloved 360 Cashmere Wrap Scarf! It is 34 inches WIDE and 86 inches long, so it also doubles as a warm shawl and basically a blanket. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.
Large Bottle of Water
Since you cannot take liquids through security, pick up a big bottle of water when you are on the other side. There is nothing worse than being thirsty on a long flight only for a flight attendant to give you a small plastic cup of water that will surely spill or not quench your thirst.
This little device changed everything, because sharing is caring! If you are traveling with a friend, partner, family or children, sometimes it is fun to watch something together that may not be available on your in-flight programing. So, pre-download your favorite movies onto your computer and plug in up to three headphones for everyone to enjoy simultaneously.
Because one can never be too safe! This face shield provides you with 180 degree protection and will not fog up. We know it is not the most chic, but safety is the new chic nowadays.
