Everything A Platinum-Status Frequent Flyer Packs In Their Carry-On
HuffPost’s senior travel and culture reporter shares what’s always in her bag.
When it comes to packing your bags for a trip, you can never be too prepared — especially if the only bags you’re taking are carry-ons. It takes skill to make sure you have all the travel essentials, without overstuffing your luggage and potentially causing a problem in the security line.
For frequent flyers, however, packing a carry-on for a successful flight and trip is old hat. While I’ve done my fair share of traveling, I’m no expert, so I wanted to reach out to a real jetsetter and see what they always remember to pack when they head to the airport. Is there something fundamental I’m always forgetting? How do people fit all of their liquids into such a tiny bag, and still have enough of everything for the whole trip?
