What to pack in a carry on - ten things Gadling readers actually use

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Foam earplugs! Roll 'em up, put in your ear, and hear the sound level go way down as they expand in your ear! They reduce the airplane "slipstream" noise. Target brand works best from my experience.

Toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, ziplock bag of kitchen-cleaning wipes to clean your tray table and your hands, reading material (Kindle!), clothes - everything in ziplock bags. (Sit on the ziplocks as you seal them to get all the air out). It can be done - everything you'll need for a 5-day trip in one carryon bag.
