Flying can be a fun and exciting experience. But it can also be uncomfortable if you don’t plan ahead. Knowing how to pack for in-flight comfort can make your flight a whole lot better.

Read the tips below to find out what you need.

TSA-Compliant Snacks

Did you know you can bring homemade snacks on your flight? As long they’re solid and not liquid (yogurt is a no-go), they’ll be allowed. Here’s some ideas on what’s TSA-compliant:

•            Salads

•            Granola bars or cookies

•            Wraps

You can also avoid the in-flight munchies by packing a small bag of nuts, dried fruit, or popcorn.

In case you forget snacks, don’t panic! Allegiant has a large in-flight menu.

Noise-Canceling Headphones

Noise-canceling headphones are a great investment for frequent flyers. These allow you to sleep easy or cut out unpleasant sounds.

If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, consider noise-isolating earplugs. They fit snugly into your ear canal and block out sound by creating an airtight seal, making them ideal for airplanes.

Noise-canceling headphones are great for staying comfy on loud flights.

Bring Relaxation Tools if Flying Makes You Nervous

If you or other members of your family struggle with flight anxiety, talk with your family physician about natural supplements/medications. You can also consider using safe essential oils for children.

Try some of these tips to stay calm on your next flight:

• Bring a coloring book! This is a proven tool to create a meditative mindset for children and adults.

• Bring a weighted lap blanket.

• Distract yourself with a book or movie.

Pack Activities So You Don’t Get Bored

Before taking off, download any movies/books/magazines/podcasts to your devices. Opt for an e-reader to save on weight and space.

You can also bring physical activities, like yarn to crochet or a travel journal.

The options are endless. Whatever you like to do that makes time go by faster will work!

Make Yourself Comfortable

Having a few comfort-based tricks up your sleeve will make any a little more pleasant:

• Pack a neck pillow to help you sleep better or to give you extra back support while sitting for long periods of time.

• Bring a blanket or jacket to keep warm on cold flights.

• Wear loose clothing and comfortable shoes. Consider going the extra mile with compression socks to boost circulation.

• Remember small bodily comforts like lip balm and lotion.

Bring a small blanket to stay warm and comfortable on long flights.

    Does a travel neck pillow count as personal item or can I just carry it/use it during the flight?
