Ohhh no no no. The whole purpose of wearing a money belt is to keep it on your body AT ALL TIMES, including on the aircraft. If you remove it and stick it in the seatback pocket in front of you, you're risking forgetting it at the end of your flight, as well as having someone reaching over and stealing it while you're sleeping. The rest of your suggestions are great but this one is a HUGE no-no. If it's uncomfortable to wear it because it presses into you, loosen the belt and push it up a little higher above where the seat belt sits. Or go into the bathroom and loose the strap enough so that you can wear it crossbody style under your T-shirt. But whatever you do, DO NOT remove your money belt! Dude, seriously.

Former flight attendant here - Never ever put your valuables in the seat pocket in front of you. We find dirty diapers, snot filled tissues, vomit bags, dog pooh bags, diabetic needles etc on the regular

Visine is a vaso-constrictor (constricts vessels). It makes your eye look better, but actually isn't good for them. Eyes get red when irritated, because the blood vessels are working hard to remove the irritation. You're better off using a lubricating drop to add moisture, without constricting the vessels.

Take two aspirin at the start of your travel day. The aspirin will help to prevent blood clots from forming and alleviate minor aches and pains before they start. Also, I bring saline nasal spray. It helps me to deal with the dry airplane air.

I've been with too many people who left their stuff in the seat pocket. One girl had to leave our trip, pay for a flight to an American Embassy location to get a new passport, which she left in the seatback pocket. My brother has left, not one but, two boze headphones in the seat back pocket. Don't use that pocket for anything you don't want to lose!

Sounds strong. Maybe I missed it, but gum. Helps to clear the air pressure and keeps your breath fresh and mouth from getting too dry.

I consider traveling a luxury. I find happiness when being on a plane and going to another country. Most people in the world can't travel. Cost, visa requirements, etc. Having a US passport is sacred. I'm grateful even its economy.

Liquid IV or any type powdered electrolytes. Bring my H2O bottle, fill after security and add electrolytes. Works great against Jetlag.

I always check a bag because I don't want to take my suitcase through the airport, and I don't like the overhead bin. Then I take a canvas zip top large tote bag, with FOUR, yes you read it right, outside compartments for water bottle (which I fill at the airport), coffee thermos (fill at the airport), a small spray bottle with water and maybe some scented oil that I can spray on my face when I feel hot, and whatever else in the last one. It's soft so I can stuff it with snacks, sweater, headphones, scarf, glasses, etc and put it under the seat in front of me. My valuables are either in a small purse inside this bag, or maybe in a fanny pack that I can wear as a cross body bag. Then when I arrive at my destination I can use this carryon tote when I go shopping, or doing day or overnight trips.

I would add Imodium and Benadryl (or generic equivalents of each) to your medicine pack. Vomiting is bad enough, but you really don't want to be running to the toilet every 5 minutes, especially when there is likely to be a line. Also, you may not know of any allergies, but that doesn't mean you don't have any. Having something to help you if you need it can be a life saver, sometimes quite literally.
@deeess3305
couple things - (1) charging cables (to use with the power bank ) (2) I would not recommend visine. Refresh or Systane would be better for your eyes (for the long haul) and lastly, (3) disinfecting wipes, (4) hand sanitizer (small bottles, and lastly, seriously (5) wearing depends. sometimes the wait for the restroom can be unpredictably long.
@escritora84
About the money bag - I would never put it in the seat pocket, but having one on you for the plane is a great idea. If you need to evacuate the plane in an emergency, your most important items are already on you (literally!) and you won't be tempted to grab bags or extra things. It's also helpful if you need to go to the bathroom, you don't have to worry about nosy neighbors going through your bag.
@UnknownUser-pf9rk
My biggest problem is the absolute lack of sleep. No matter how long the flight, no matter how comfy the seat and big the legroom seem at first... I never manage to sleep 😭
@heatherqualy9143
The little pill box has rescued me countless times I keep it in my purse when not flying. As you said, the worst is stomach issues. So I carry pepto, Imodium, kaopectate chews, ginger gum, Dramamine. Then ibuprofen for any inflammation related pain, Tylenol for mild pain relief, aspirin for headaches, and Excedrin for HEADACHES. You’d be surprised how often I pull out this box every week in everyday life, let alone travel, which is what I got it for.
@Stixenterprise
1. If you hate people grabbing your chair near your head to sit down or kicking of your chair happens behind you, sit in the last row, preferably in the middle of the plane. Not the very back where it's super noisy and the restroom doors open and shut constantly. 2. Recommend getting a pocket liner for your tray table. Provides pockets for your phone/tablet when the tray is closed and a table cloth to cover the dirty tray table when opened to dine. Enjoy your travels! 😊
@achevres
May I strongly suggest not putting your valuables (money belt) in the front pocket. This is super niche, but most accidents are during take-off and landing (and most people survive), and if you have to evacuate it will make a huge difference if you have your passport, cards, phone on your person. Also, anything in the front pocket can be forgotten, stolen or get dirty. But the rest are great tips.
@MrByco2
*****Having some meds for things like upset stomach and headaches can be a game changer, but I use travel sized manufacturer containers. If you have loose pills without the container and they are discovered by TSA - or customs on an international flight - depending on the officer, you may be delayed while they check into the fact that they are what you say they are. Also, a reminder that prescription meds must be in the container that has the prescription on it. To not do so is a crime in some areas of the world, including much of the U.S.
@makistar2001
I take these with me on the flight: 1 - Therm-a-Rest lumbar travel pillow, I don't always need to use it but some seats don't have much lower back support. It's compact after all the air are out. 2 - Listerine pocketpaks fresh breath strips instead of brushing my teeth inflight, don't want to use their water to rinse. 3 - Neutrogena makeup remover wipes, I don't have makeup to remove but the wipe cleans my face without drying and it's individually wrapped, doesn't take up any room.
