As someone who has done her fair share of traveling, ive found that a well packed carry-on bag is key to making sure your flight is the best it can be.  You can get away with not being on your A-game with a short flight, but a long flight can be the worst if you are not prepared.  I love kids, but a teething baby sitting next to you for the next 8 plus hours is not how you want to be reminded that you forgot your noise cancelling headphones.  Learn from my mistakes people and get into this list.

Screenshot it, Pin it, or Download it HERE to have when you need it. What are you must-haves for a long flight?
