It sounds silly but I have a long neck and trying to sleep on a plane wrecks me. </p> <p>My goal is to never take more than a tote-sized purse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/items-you-like-to-carry-on-board-with-you#post-2638065 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 17:59:37 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2638065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Socks, sweater, lip balm, iPad, charger, snacks, Advil, water bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/items-you-like-to-carry-on-board-with-you#post-2638064 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 17:56:35 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2638064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In addition to what pp's said, I like to bring a Kleen Kanteen to fill up with water right before the flight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/items-you-like-to-carry-on-board-with-you#post-2638062 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 17:35:15 +0000 Boogs 2638062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've gotten stuck without our luggage overnight for layovers before, so now I always pack a carry on with anything I wouldn't want to be without in that situation.
