How to pack for the long haul: carry on luggage

_{Posted in Fashion / Fashion blog / Fashionable living / Travel}

Long haul flights are bastard things, of this I can assure you. Having lived in Australia, I’ve become adept at such flights. And not the kind of long haul that sees one fly from London to New York, but rather the ‘across the world’ kind, Melbourne to London, 24 hours sat in the same seat. 24 hours where you run the risk of being the poor bastard across the isle from a screaming toddler. 24 hours that can go well, 24 hours where you mightn’t ever have chance for some shut eye.

Getting through such flights, or flights of more than 5 or 6 hours, is part preparation, part cash and part luck. The luck will see you nowhere near the toddler and the cash will have you in a comfy seat on a nice airline. As for the preparation, that all comes down to how you pack your carry on luggage.

Here’s my personal preference of the essentials to pack in your carry-on luggage for a long haul flight, based upon what I packed for a flight I took from London to Beijing recently.
