Packing smart for a layover helps you stay comfortable and ready for your next flight. Here are some essentials to make layovers easier:
1. Toiletries
A small kit with face wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and moisturiser lets you freshen up. Add a face mist to help with dry skin.
2. Portable charger and adapter
Keep a power bank handy for your devices, and a universal adapter if you're in a new country.
3. Snacks and water bottle
Pack healthy snacks like nuts or fruit. Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
4. Change of clothes
For longer layovers, pack a clean shirt or lightweight outfit. Wrinkle-free clothes work best.
5. Eye mask and earplugs or headphones
Use an eye mask and earplugs to block out noise if you need to rest, or headphones if you prefer listening to music.
6. Basic first-aid items
Carry painkillers, plasters, and any medication you need. A small first-aid kit is useful for quick fixes.
7. Entertainment
Bring a book, e-reader, or download shows to pass the time.
8. Comfort items
Consider a neck pillow, blanket, or light scarf for extra comfort during airport naps.
