What to pack when flying

1- Lotion for your skin and your lips. Plane AC is hard on my type of skin, add to that the physical stress associated with flying. You might need to add dandruff shampoo if needed.
2- An empty bottle of water. Make sure to have it among your personal items (and that it is empty to pass TSA). Though flying food and beverages are filled with salt and caffeine, it is hard to get enough water due to the serving size in planes (also you need to keep asking for it) and all the airport fountains that hardly give you a chance to drink more than few sips.
3- Inflatable pillow. This helps if you have sleeping problems on the plain. It can also be very handy if you need to spend the night in an airport due to some emergency.
