Demonstrating with his own luggage, he began: ‘I like to call this the bag within a bag.
“I pack a duffel bag as a personal item and inside I keep a bag with everything I need easily accessible so you don’t have to keep digging through your bag every time you need something.”
Then he continued: ‘Yesyou are doing a long haul flight and you’re not wearing compression stockings, you’re doing it wrong.
“Personally I don’t like the aesthetic of ankles and that’s why I love compression socks.”
The enthusiastic traveler then shared another trick as she poured electrolyte powder into her water bottle.
‘I don’t enjoy urinating every five seconds on a long-haul flight. That’s why I always carry these electrolyte packs: they help me stay hydrated without having to drink a gallon of water and they also balance out the wine,” he joked.
But Lindsay didn’t stop there with her ideas and then took off her face and lip masks.
The content creator then continued: ‘If you’re doing a long-haul flight and you’re not wearing compression stockings, you’re doing it wrong.’
