1. Antibacterial wipes

I wipe down the arms, tray table, seat belt, and video screen when I get on a plane. I also use them in the restroom and before I eat. Since I started doing this, I no longer get sick after flying.

2. Magellan’s LuxeTravel Lumbar Support

This pillow is an inflatable lumbar cushion for your back. I find it helps keep my back in a straighter position.

3. Cut up Veggies, Nuts & Fruit

I usually bring several small ziplock bags of veggies. I prefer to bring a bag of baby carrots, a bag of cut cucumbers, and a bag of grapes. Sometimes I will bring a peach or an apple too. I also bring raw pistachios and almonds from my farmer’s market to snack on.

4. Raw Granola Bars

I like Two Moms in the Raw Granola Bars for traveling. Airplane food and food from a airport vendors is expensive and unhealthy, so it’s better to splurge before the airport on healthy food.

5. Pashmina

This shawl will double as a blanket on the flight and at the airport.
