These Are The Items You Need To Survive Those Inevitable Flight Delays

Some travelers always fly direct, rarely have flight issues and sometimes, even get randomly bumped to first class. Then there are those of us who simply cannot catch a break when we are to be traveling by air. I am in the latter camp. If you, like me, seem to always get delayed or if you’re planning some upcoming travel with a long layover, I curated a list of odds and ends to make passing the time feel a little less terrible. While I can’t guarantee you clear skies and generous flight attendants who give you the whole can of Diet Coke, I can suggest some items to take with you in your carry-on bag.

From body products to portable chargers, consider this your airport survival guide, whether you’re hanging out for an hour before boarding or are stranded in Newark for seven hours.
