Take on overnight flight?

[Deleted]

Any recommendations for stuff to to take on an overnight flight? I've never had one so I don't have any idea what to take.

[sunshinedaydreams]

eye mask, ear plugs, neck pillow, fluffy socks, plenty of things to keep you busy in case you can't sleep

Ditto the above, plus if you wear contacts be sure to have your case, solution and glasses handy if you want to take them out, and if you have any medication you should take during the flight have it somewhere you can get to easily.

Sleeping pills.

Be comfortable as much as you can. Take out contacts. A neck pillow. Lots of layers. I can't sleep with ear plugs or eye mask, but I wish I could. There's always that asshole leaving their window open.

Thanks guys. Fluffy socks I can do!

Besides what PP's have mentioned pack a couple of face cleansing cloths or toner for a morning refresh, plus a shot of mouthwash :-)

I would take ear plugs, moisturizer, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and clean underwear. I feel much better in the "morning" if I can rinse my face, moisturize, brush my teeth and put on clean underwear.

There are so many things I'd never have considered!

An alternative to 2nd pair of underwear (since it could be hard to change in a plane bathroom)...kind of TMI, but before my first overnight someone, (maybe GilliC) mentioned wearing a liner on your undies for the flight so when you get off and have been wearing the same pair for forever, you can toss the liner.

eta: I bring:
-magazines
-kindle
-ipad
-socks
-pashmina type scarf
-dress in layers
-eye mask
-ipod
-ear plugs
-gum
-Have a glass of red wine
-toothbrush/paste
-deoderant
-hairbrush
-don't wear foundation

toothbrush - toohpaste - contact lenses solution and case - deodorant - underwear - make up - socks - pillow.

I usually on do a carryon so I bring everything with me :-P

That said, in my purse/easier access area I keep a scarf, ipod, book/magazine, water, snacks, contact case and solution and glasses, lotion, brush, toothpaste and brush. I usually hit the bathroom right before boarding and take out my contacts, and then right when we land I do a quick change of clothes, brush my teeth, and throw on some makeup.

And don't forget a pen for customs forms if you are flying internationally.

If you plan on checking your bag bring a change of clothes in case your bag gets lost.

I usually pack in my carry-on:

--makeup removing wipes
--lotion/cream
-- tooth brush + paste
-- iPod
-- Kindle
-- a few snacks (a ziplock bag of goldfish crackers and pretzels, a box of raisins, an apple, a clif bar)
-- a pen
-- SLEEPING PILLS (even benedryl works)
-- earphones
-- I always buy a bottle of water after security to drink on the plane, I find that none of the airlines serve water enough!
-- essential makeup (for me, mascara, powder, lip balm)
-- mini hairspray and a brush
-- an extra set of clothes, including some clean underwear
-- neck pillow, the airplane pillows suck!

Thanks guys. I always take an empty water bottle, trials of all hygiene items, my meds, and 1 change of clothes with me (just in case!!).

Don't worry about me changing on the plane. We have an early morning layover at DFW so I can do the dirty deed there. ;-)

Fluffy socks, neck pillow, and comb are on my list. I read to take a large pashmina for a blanket; anybody have a better recommendation?

I take a pashmina to use as a blanket/cover up if cold; but I also use the blanket provided by the airline
