Bag check: the airplane

After all the Bag Check posts I've done I can’t believe I’ve never bothered to talk about what I bring with me on an airplane. It’s a little different each trip, but my 10+ hour flight to Tokyo is as good as any to be an example. Clockwise from the top:

-       Osprey backpack: my new staple for long flights

-       Gucci wallet for money and credit cards

-       Passport (international flights only)

-       Suica card (train pass for Japan trips only)

-       iPod (yes I'm still pretty old school)

-       Laptop

-       Notebook for handwritten notes

-       Earplanes for air pressure

-       1 book or kindle (for this trip, I am reading Memoirs of a Polar Bear by Yoko Tawada)

-       snacks!  (I only eat dry food on planes and for flights more than 5 hours I need a little something…)

-       Bose headphones (for music and noise cancelling)

-       Gum (preferably Japanese brand Watering Kissmint)

-       Charger bag (with chargers for laptop, camera, and iphone)

-       Camera

-       iPhone
