It’s my favorite time of the year! The holidays and my Dad’s birthday. As a kid, we would celebrate by using this time off to go on a trip. So I’m beyond excited to reunite with my little family and enjoy their company on vacation! 🙂 This year we jetted off to the Caribbean to explore the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands! 🌴🍹

After spending quite a few hours (6 to be exact) in La Guardia the other day, I wanted to share my top in-flight must-haves for an enjoyable, comfortable traveling experience.

1. Travelpro® Carry-On Luggage

I like to travel smart, and by ‘smart’, I mean light. If my trip is for less than 4 nights, I pack everything into a carry-on luggage. I prefer doing this rather than checking in, just in case my checked luggage gets lost or taken by accident! Believe me, it’s no fun spending travel money on a new wardrobe in a city that’s not home.

My carry-on of choice is made by Travelpro®! ! It’s been the preferred choice of flight crews and frequent flyers for over 30 years. So if the pros love it, you better believe it’s the best! I have the Platinum® Elite 22” Expandable Carry-On Rollaboard®. I’m in love with the range of colors – Shadow Black, Rich Espresso, Vintage Grey and Bordeaux (my fav!).

The interior structure of the Platinum® Elite 22” Expandable Carry-On Rollaboard® is second to none. The zip compartments within the suitcase are perfect for smaller items like toiletries and beauty products. Which is perfect for touch-ups in between connecting flights, or for the unfortunate scenario of checked luggage being misplaced. The compartments of compact and sectioned perfectly, which allows me to pack overnight items and 2-3 outfits efficiently, without leaving out any necessities! My Rollaboard® just makes travel easier and less stressful.

2. Hoodie or Oversized Cardigan

Airports and airplanes, in general, are always freezing to me. A comfy cardigan or unstructured coat doubles as a blanket!

3. Comfy Shoes

This is a must! A cute airport #OOTD will only get you so far in terms of comfort. Running around and sitting for long periods of time can be exhausting, so I always opt for comfy slip-ons or sneakers.

4. Face Mask

I don’t know about you, but flying can be really rough on my skin. The air that circulates in-flight leaves my skin super dry. I like to put on a face mask mid-flight to freshen up my dull skin. Although I tend to look like a deranged character from a horror movie, the happy ending is my hydrated, glowing skin!

5. A Book!

Reading a book is just a great way to zone out and make time fly while inflight or waiting in an airport. I’m reading Pachinko right and I just can’t put it down!

Travelling is one of my favorite things to do, but it can easily get stressful if you’re not prepared! My biggest takeaway for my travel essentials is having the right carry-on bag. With my Travelpro® Platinum® Elite 22” Expandable Carry-On Rollaboard® ($299 ARV) , I’m in easy reach of any of my toiletries and touch-up items. Plus, I’m confident knowing that my bag is durable enough to withstand all pressure and tossing that comes with travel.
