That takes care of the background noise and gives me a chance to sleep.<br><br>I also carry some individually packed moisturizer (ie. Urban Therapy by <a href="http://comodynes.com" rel="nofollow">comodynes.com</a> - popular here in Spain).<br><br>When I'm flying out, I don't put make up on in the morning, so my skin can breath a little better during the flight, and I apply it 1 hour before landing. Airport security made this a little harder, but I bought some small containers and made my own tiny make-up kit.<br><br>I hate hate hate airplane food, so I eat a meal before boarding and I bring my own snacks. Nothing salty or greasy, as that would make you more dehydrated. They'll give you some water in-flight (2-3 glasses), but not nearly enough. Carry a small bottle of water.sofiaTue, 08 Jul 2008 03:46:17 -0000
