I carry a small bag with things I want to access during a flight. I keep this bag inside my normal “personal item” backpack, taking it out when I get to my seat. I then store it under the seat, while my main backpack goes in the overhead compartment. I also have a carabiner attached to it, which allows me to hang it off the seat back if I want to, or attach my water bottle so it doesn’t roll away. My bag usually includes: - AirPod Pros[^1] - flight headphones[^2] - Kindle - small notebook with pen - facial tissues - small pill container (ibuprofen, Immodium, Pepto bismol, etc) - charging cords[^3] - n95 mask - individually wrapped face wipes - Cough drops - Snacks (often a snickers bar or peanut m&ms) **Footnotes** [^1]: I use these with my phone or kindle. [^2]: These headphones are corded, and includes a dual-prong attachment and a lightning connector. I usually use these for any flights that have an entertainment screen and require corded headphones. They have a simple noise canceling feature that makes it easier to hear whatever I’m watching. [^3]: I usually have a usb-c to lightning for my phone, plus a small usb-c to usb-a adaptor. I sometimes include a usb-c cord as well.
