TripHip - Travel Tips and Advice for Traveling on a Budget

Be sure to bring essentials with you on the plane in your carry-on luggage. This includes things like medication, eye drops, eyeglasses, motion sickness medication, etc.

It's easier if you have a smaller, separate bag for these types of essentials, so you don't have to dig through your entire carry-on bag just to find one tiny bottle of eye drops. You can keep this smaller bag under the seat in front of you for easy access.

Also pack a book, magazine, sketchbook, mp3 player, or anything else that will ward off boredom during the flight.
