[australiankaren]

Just asking......

pillow case
noise cancelling headphones
book
blanky

[Caroline NZ]

Husband( to help control the kids when I am feeling blurgh)
Panadol.

That's probably it. I take a full back pack on, but it has nothing that I really need for the trip in it.

 

[Ms. Shuttergirl]

Ummmm, lip balm, a book, breath mints, a change of clothes, my beautiful babies.

 

[Andona]

noise cancelling headphones,
my ipod with an audiobook and some sleep-music on it
a bottle of water
eye-mask
inflatable neck pillow

DH and DS are a given

Andona

 

[aussietravellers]

1. Passport
2. Boarding Pass

No, I'll start my real list

1. Epipens & Zyrtec
2. Lip Balm
3. Change of underwear
4. Trackie pants - comfort (if going economy, not for business as they give you pyjamas)
5. Head Band (my hair becomes an oil slick on a long flight, so need headband to hide it )

 

[Sugarglider]

Hmmm ....

def need in seat entertainment - I watch films for the entire flight
a blanky cause it gets cold
inflatable pillow to re-emphasise how I can't get comfy
underpants! (cause you all already know I am obsessed with them)
eye mask

although I think I am going to start being interested in drugs to knock me out.

[shadowblue]

1. Passport
2. Boarding Pass

No, I'll start my real list

That's what I was thinking too - and it was my real list

3. Anticipation of what's ahead
4. Relief (that I'm finally getting away)
5. Big smile

Since my odyssey to London and back inside of 4 days (stock Qantas economy), it's never seemed that hard

 

[BecBennett]

Ummm...

Noise cancelling head phones
Something to keep me entertained
Comfy clothes
Phenergan
My phone (it's loaded with all my songs, some TV shows, movies and lots of games)

 

[Anne_Aus]

Travel pillow
Bottle of water
Book
Mp3 player
Toiletries - toothbrush, moisturiser, brush, lip balm ect

 

[WickedDreamer]

1. Ipod
2. A good book- i bought one at the airport book shop before jumping on the plane, thought didn't read it till the flight back.
3. My laptop- going overI didn't use it, as Delta had a really good selection of movies, but coming back i watched 2-3 as Virgin didn't have the best selection
4. pillow/blanket
5.tioletries- toothbrush/ face wipes

 

[Melbourne5]

5 boarding passes ( well we are the melbourne5 after all) marked premium economy, business or first!

Nothing else matters.

 

[Mum from oz]

• iPad/Kindle/Entertainment
• Noise Cancelling headphones
• Lip Balm/Hair brush/Hair ties (I always break my one and only hair tie)
• Panadol/Phenergan
• Change of Clothes

So maybe my list was cheating cause there is more than 5 things but thats how we Pirates roll

 

[alicia1506]

- nurofen zavance/zyrtec/sleeping pills
- kindle/ipod/tablet
- thongs/slip on shoes
- all confirmation paperwork for the trip
- my camera

oh. and Carlo

 

[emum]

Having just flown HNL to SYD with Jetstar (only option on FF points), I would now say my only requirement on a long-haul flight is to not be on a "budget" airline for said flight

Cheers,
Sally

 

[miss.potatohead]

- ipod
- camera
- book to read (that isn't too heavy!)
- eye mask/ear plugs
- cuddle buddy (lightweight pillow)
- extra socks/slip on shoes...took my shoes off on my last flight and stepped in someones' red wine they'd spilt on the floor when making a late night dash to the toilet whoops.
- lip balm
- extra luck to have a spare seat next to me...never happens.

 

[australiankaren]

thanks for the lists..i never thought to throw in a pair of thongs....a must have from now on......especially for the DH as he wears shoes & socks and I hate him padding around in socks especially to the loo

re budget airlines, I think I'd just drink to a semi stupor and hope i sleep all the way...but that is how we pirate firemen clowns roll......

 

[BecBennett]

oh. and Carlo

You can't just check him through to the final destination?

 

[hjd0411]

Hmmm - interesting answers!!

1. Camera
2. Toothbrush/toothpaste
3. Good book and selection of magazines
4. Moisturiser/Evian spray
5. Light jumper as it gets cold!!!

I'm interested in your noise cancelling head phones - what is a good brand? And comfortable, of course!! I will need a pair for this trip, I think!

Thanks!
