We rounded up 11 frequent flyer must-haves from the Vacayou team. What can’t you fly without?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flying can be quite the adventure, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t some amount of stress involved. From not knowing if you’ll get a seat next to an (awkward) stranger to having the unfortunate luck of losing your luggage, there is plenty of anxiety involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, we consulted Vacayou\u2019s frequent flyers and asked them what their must-have carry-on items are. Here are some things we cannot board a flight without\u2026 because no matter how you feel about airplane travel, some creature comforts never hurt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Frequent Flyer Must-Haves <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Noise Cancelling Headphones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I never travel without my Beats headphones! I will often hear songs, even years later, that evoke deep and powerful memories associated with a specific adventure because I had been listening to them while traveling. They’re also noise cancelling, which is great for reducing the ambient sounds of the airplane engines and the occasional upset baby.<\/em><\/p>Joe Hallinan, Lead Software Developer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

2. Good Luck Charm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I always travel with my gold Celtic cross.<\/em><\/p>Muirgheal Montecalvo, Founder and CEO of Vacayou

3. Snacks + Hydration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In case of an emergency, I always have snacks on hand! You never know when delays or mayhem will happen, so it\u2019s better to be safe than hangry. Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier packets are frequent flyer must-haves for me as well and really help with dehydration and jet lag. <\/em><\/p>Taylor Haught, Content & SEO Lead

\u201cI always travel with my Essence of Vali Calm Relax Mist.
