I completely agree with you tip on heels! They were meant for the runway and not the airport!

I use the Elizabeth Grant 2 Phase Balancing Infusion almost every morning now, definitely need it with all the humid and dry days we've been having in the summer. I'll remember the other tips for when I'm planning my next vacation!

Wow! Thank you for this! I am not travelling any time soon but I will be in like 10 months. So these are some great tips for when I am about to travel. Thank you, thank you!!!

So many good product recommendations! Also, that ombre pullover is so cute!

I also travel a LOT! I think most of the necessities have been mentioned. I think one of the most important things you mentioned is a small purse where you can know exactly where everything important is. and like LissaG said, Visine is also a must for me because I get super dry eyes, and mini deodorant and lotions are also handy. For most flights my stomach gets really upset so I usually bring something like Tums. A tip I have is to bring noise cancelling headphones. Especially if you have the over-the-ear ones instead of the earbuds you put in your ear (because those get painful after a long time of listening). Another life-saver is one of those portable battery or solar phone chargers so you can still listen to music or play games on the plane without worrying about killing your battery. Also handy is a refillable water bottle, you have to make sure it's empty before you go through security but you can refill it after you get through. Buying water in an airport is highway robbery, I once bought one that costed $6! Along the same lines--it's best to make sure you bring lots of gum because,again, it's more expensive in the airport, plus it can help when your ears start to pop from the altitude.

Great tips to pass on, thanks.

Great tips!My skin gets so dry so I used to bring a hydrating spray that I got from Yves Rocher it was really refreshing..

Breath mints,ginger gravol for an upset stomach,a good lip balm,deodorant.

My first flight to England my ears hurt terribly on the takeoffs and landings and they have never been the same. So I always wear ear-planes( there called) on take-offs and landings.You just fit them into your ears and they really work!

Great tips! I'm also a frequent traveler, so I know the turmoil of cancellations and delays. My outfit usually depends where I'm going (hot or cold climate), and how long the flight is of course (a few hours to Vegas is a much different story than 15 to Australia!). It kills me when I see women decked to the 9s in their 6inch heels and tight pants boarding an 8 hour flight. Like, you cray!
I swear by those oil-absorbing sheets, they're a lifesaver. Other things I bring are:
1) Tiny eyelash curler; it's more portable and practical than bringing mascara, especially if you sleep on planes...sleeping in mascara is never good.
2) Mini deodorant and sample size of a subtle perfume (don't want to be the smelly girl, but also don't want to be bothering the person next to me with an overwhelming floral scent...I usually bring SJP Lovely)
3) Visine. I get terribly dry eyes while travelling, and that makes them embarrassingly red. So to avoid looking like a sleep-deprived pot head, I always carry a mini Visine.
4) Book / IPod / Magazine / Crossword etc. Especially if you're traveling alone, having something to do while on the plane or while waiting is essential, even if your plane has individual entertainment systems. One time I was stuck on the tarmac at the airport (which is slow agonizing torture) for 3 hours, and they shut off the entertainment systems on the back of our headrests. The woman next to me didn't bring a book and was so grateful that I brought two!
