If you have plans to hit the friendly skies, there is a way to do with functional style. Check out the five must-have accessories that will not only make your trip more comfortable but will guarantee that you arrive and enjoy your trip with style.
1. One Tote Bag
The first thing you will need is a sizable tote. Not one that is so big that you can't store it under the seat in front of you but large enough so that you can carry all your flying essentials, like your wallet, tech devices (laptop or tablet), tickets and itinerary and any other things you want to keep with you while flying.
2. Easy off shoes
Flying has been getting increasingly more difficult and time consuming. Nothing is worse than when the person in front is wearing with laces or elaborate buckles. Clearly they aren't a frequent flier. To get through airline security quickly, consider a pair of easy off and on shoes, like a pair of ballerina flats, flip flops in the summer . For extra warmth when wearing flats or flip flops on a flight, throw a small pair of socks in your tote bag and put them on while flying.
3. Pashmina Scarf
A large scarf or Pashmina is a must for a flight. Not only will it offer warmth during a particularly cold flight and act as a blanket, but it can be balled up and turned into a makeshift pillow. It can be hard to actually get a pillow blanket on a flight and a large scarf will definitely make a great substitute. After you land.... use it as a wrap on chilly evenings or an accessory with a work outfit.
4. Sunglasses
Cabins can be bright, especially when your neighbor with the window seat wants to look outside the entire flight. Sunglasses can dim the cabin if you want to take a nap and also give off the impression to chatty neighbors that you're not all that interested in small talk. Plus, flights can be drying and murder on the skin, especially on the delicate skin around the eyes. A pair of sunglasses will come in handy to camouflage this once you land. Why do you think so many celebrities are seen at airports with sunglasses on?
5. Pouch or clutch wallet
The last important accessory to have for a flight is to have at least one small zipper pouch to keep inside your large tote. It is must easier to locate a small zipper pouch in your tote that contains all of these things in one place vs. searching for each item individually.In fact, you can have several small pouches , one for important things like your wallet, cell phone and a place to keep loose change and receipts, another pouch for things for medicinal reasons, like throat lozenges, ear plugs, tissues medications, etc. and then a third one for convenience items, like small headphones for your music, your small pair of socks for warmth when flying, hand cream and some makeup.
