YouTuber and flight attendant Fly with Stella shows us the essentials she never travels without.

Her list goes beyond the basics. It’s full of the stuff you will need, but might not think to bring.

hand balm
cuticle cream
nail file with a case, so it won’t scratch other items
individually packaged nail polish remover pads
empty water bottle, so you can refill it instead of buying expensive bottled water
tea bags because you can get hot water for free, which makes for a cheap drink
perfume, which will help you not feel gross when you get off of a flight
snacks, including instant oatmeal
Kindle
noise canceling headphones
convertible scarf/blanket combo
small crossbody for essentials that can double as a wallet inside another purse
favorite lipstick, which will help you look well put together without a lot of makeup

With this list, you’ll feel just as comfortable as you do at home.
