Now that we've got the logistics out of the way, it's time to think about what to actually put in your luggage. Toiletries are a must, but don't even think about packing that giant bottle of shampoo, unless you want to be that person who gets pulled aside at security. Opt for travel-sized everything, your luggage (and the TSA) will thank you.
A good rule of thumb is to pack clothes that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits. And don't forget to throw in a few comfortable items, like a cozy scarf or a pair of fuzzy socks, because let's face it, planes can be cold! You'll be glad you did when you're snuggled up at 30,000 feet.
Now, I know what you're thinking, what about all the fun stuff? Can I bring my _favorite snack or that one book I've been meaning to read? The answer is, yes and yes! Just be sure to check the airline's rules on food and liquids, you don't want to get caught with a contraband cookie.
