packing list for carry-on travel
Credit: Kathleen Finlay/Getty Images

The proper packing of a carry-on bag is a skill that takes time to perfect. Unless, of course, you've got access to a comprehensive list from a group of frequent fliers — say, Travel + Leisure's editors?

Regardless of whether you're packing a tote bag, backpack, or wheeled bag, it's what's inside that counts, so we put together a list of absolute must-have travel items and some personal recommendations for the best in each category.

When packing your carry-on, you'll first want to focus on creating a seamless airport experience and things like a travel wallet and an easily accessible toiletry pouch will help you stay organized and breeze through security. Then, make sure your in-flight experience is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. This is where travel essentials like headphones, snacks, and a travel pillow will come in.

And finally, while it's only the worst-case scenario, there's always a possibility your checked luggage may not make it to your destination when you do. So you'll also want to board with anything that would make it less of a headache to spend a day or two waiting to be reunited with your belongings, like your power converter and all of your chargers.

With these 32 travel must-haves, you'll be prepared for anything your trip throws at you, be it lost luggage, noisy plane neighbors, less-than-ideal weather, and so much more.

Travel Pillow

Conventional, U-shaped travel pillows work for some people, but if you can't see the appeal, we recommend trying out the Trtl pillow — essentially a fleece scarf with a support system built in — or the Infinity pillow, which applies the infinity scarf concept to your comforter for grade-A cozy results.

Compression Socks or Tights

If you're going to be sitting in an airplane seat for longer than four hours, you may want to change into a pair of compression tights or socks to aid circulation in your legs. This will keep your feet from falling asleep and help to prevent more serious symptoms of sitting for too long, like blood clots.

Earplugs

For any scenario where you don't necessarily want to be wearing your headphones — say, sleeping — but would still like to drown out the ambient annoyance around you, a set of earplugs is key. The staff agrees you can never go wrong with Mack's.

In-flight Entertainment

Long flights can be grueling without something to pass the time. Our staff loves the iPad Mini for movies, games, and more. We also think Amazon's waterproof Kindle Paperwhite is one of the most travel-friendly e-readers yet.

Portable Charger and All Charging Cords

Only a few airlines provide USB slots for charging your devices in-flight, so if you want to watch a feature-length film on your flight without having to spend the first 30 minutes in Arrivals getting your battery back into double digits, make sure to pack a portable battery.

In-seat Pouch

Fill a small pouch with everything you'll need to easily access mid-flight and tuck it into the seatback pocket when you board so you don't have to keep retrieving your bag from the overhead storage bin. Etsy seller Pamela Barksy's quirky designs are a favorite.

Catching some sort of sickness on the flight is the fast track to ruining a would-have-been-restorative vacation. Don't take the risk. Instead, use these alcohol wipes while traveling to kill germs while you're on-the-go.

Sunscreen

Thinksport and Supergoop! sunscreens

It's a given to pack sunscreen to wear on your vacation, but you should also be applying it in-flight, especially if you're in the window seat. The altitude can expose you to harmful UVA rays. We like Thinksport's for its skin-softening texture and chemical-free ingredient list, but Supergoop's Unseen Sunscreen is an excellent alternative if you want something lightweight, matte, and scentless.

A Day or Two of Toiletries

The lost luggage struggle is real — and the last thing you'll want to do in response is spend $40 on all the tiny toiletries you'd need to have generally OK hygiene until you're reunited with your belongings. Alongside the usual toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss, use these GoToob toiletry bottles to bring along your hair and skincare favorites in TSA-friendly silicone tubes.

Travel Adapter

It may be tempting to pack your travel adapter in your checked bag, but it's another essential you wouldn't want to be caught without in a lost luggage snafu. This Conair adapter works in more than 150 countries and gives you three outlets and a USB slot to plug into so you can keep all of your tech charged and ready to go. Just be sure to use it with dual-voltage devices only, as it doesn't convert electrical voltage.

Travel Wallet

Because you'll likely be bringing along more than your everyday wallet can hold — multiple kinds of currencies, tickets, hotel key cards, et cetera — it's extra important to stay organized. If nothing else, you'll at least want a passport cover to keep your most important travel document safe from harm.

Rain Gear

If you don't mind the rain, skip this one. But if it will ruin your trip and possibly melt you, some sort of precipitation-repelling device is necessary. We like Eddie Baeur's packable rain jackets and this compact travel umbrella, which you can get on Amazon.

A Copy of Your Passport and an Extra Photo

Your passport is, of course, the most important item to remember for an international trip. But you should also bring along at least one passport photo and a color photocopy of the pages with your information on the off-chance you lose it abroad. The U.S. State Department's website has more information about what to do when your passport is lost or stolen.

Hand Cream
