And a face mask for those passengers coughing and sniffling all around you.

I used to be like this, but I recently found out that just the eye mask + earplugs *+ sleeping pills* make the whole thing more bearable.

I would do that if I didn't have absurd ideas about surviving plane crashes in the wilderness and needing to be prepared

(and more seriously and unfortunately, traveling as a woman alone I just don't trust people)

Sorry to hear. It's something most men probably never think about. But with something like a couple of Advil PM (which you easily find at the airport), it's not like you're unconscious for 10 hours. You just really feel like dozing off.

Yeah good point, I used to take benadryl which accomplished much the same thing. I've been scared off benadryl but maybe something else would be work!

Don’t forget noise canceling headphones 🎧

mariaa.bsky.social•63 days ago

oh definitely, I would cry the whole trip without them!

Time to screenshot this for all future flights (I don’t hate flying but I do hate packing/trip prep)
