Have you ever been on a 24 hour flight with layover? It’s not for the faint of heart. And yes Indonesia takes 16 hours from Los Angeles to Taiwan, then 3.5 hours layover and then 4 hours flight to Jakarta, Indonesia. It’s my solo trip this time around and here is my packing list for my carry on:
- laptop, ipad, chargers, phone
- extra jacket and our hand dyed batik scarf because I’m scared of being cold
- face mask, moisturizer, lip balm, dental retainer and floss, lip gloss, feminine care packs
- battery charger (didn’t end up using since I brought charger but I am paranoid that way)
- medications (I forgot to bring my acid reflux medicine which is a mistake, so pack your medication if you always get nauseous from the bumpy flight. Maybe even melatonin or headache medication)
- mint
- tissue. I came across a young lady bawling her eyes out at the airport, face timing her mother while waiting for my flight. 😢 I don’t quite know what’s going on but glad I was able to pass her a pack of tissue.
- not pictured: hair tie, definitely wear socks, fruit and snacks (because I crave fruit and light snacks) which I then finish/ toss before the second flight since you can’t bring fruit to another country
- could have packed a small hair brush
I don’t use the travel pillow. My flight gave toothbrush and toothpaste so that’s covered. I considered bringing a book but I got all my books from the library and I don’t want to lose them. I downloaded videos from Netflix and downloaded books from Hoopla and Libby. To be fair I mostly ended up sleeping.
To recap what I should have pack is medication (acid reflux for me specifically but maybe for you it is painkiller/ others)
What else do you pack for your long haul flights?
