My Baggage!

Ever wonder how us flight attendants pack for so many days?! Ha! It's a science. A project that being OCD definitely helps with. It all starts with an empty suitcase and I learned early on that have a GOOD bag is the key! This week is a 5 day trip but on top of that there are two more additional days. Josh is meeting me at the airport when I get in from my trip so that we can fly to Austin together.

So here we go!!!

So this is level one. Two pairs of tennis shoes, one pair of jeans, workout pants, one pair of dress pants, 2 t-shirts, 2 tank tops, 3 regular tops, and pajama bottoms and an extra workshirt and bottoms (this amount of clothes is abnormal for flight crews! Normally we just take 1 outfit, workout clothes and additional uniform pieces).

I just honestly adore this pocket. all undergarments get shoved in here (and my single sheet for laundry-this is the best thing ever! you stick it in the washer and it follows the clothes into the dryer. perfect for doing laundry in a hotel!!!)

This zipper pocket (full length of the bag itself is perfect for stuffing in the flip flops!

I got this zippered pouch from a previous suitcase and it's been used for many purposes but has finally found it's permanent use. I stick every liquid in here. Since we are not required to follow the 3-1-1 rule we are allowed to bring what we need. So I have it all!

And the pajama pants go on top and this is a finished suitcase! I have 7 days worht of clothes, 4 pairs of shoes, and all the liquids I could need, as well as the device for my neck in this one bag!

This thing is amazing! I found this in the crew store and it's a jewelry case!

There are 3 zippered pockets, holes for earrings and a spectacular idea for the rings!

We do normally care additional bags. This one hold my inflight manual, small netbook, and inflight shoes (what you thought I wore heels the entire 12 hour day?!) All those colred cloths beneath are all the extra scarves we have!

This has two books, one to read and my ming strengthening sudoku, liqor paperwork, extra pens, etc.

The BASICS! We can't stink! We can't have lent all over us! Some of us live off of the Emergen-C stuff (obviously not me because that's why I need the added Nyquil!)

There is one more bag. The FOOD bag!!! This is probably the most importnat. We rarely have time to stop and get food in between flights. Plus it's SOO expensive and very unhealthy. So having some basics in tow with us in necessary!
