Flight Plan: What's in your 3-1-1?

Remember Monica from Friends?  I am not as neat or as organized, but I am just as irritating when it comes to packing.  Trains/buses are easier, but what I am at my irritating best is when I am packing for a flight.  There are a million things I just HAVE to take and a million regulations that the airlines follow.

Over time I have found that following the US goverment - TSA regulations - is the easiest way through airport security checks, be it domestic or international.

 
From the TSA website:  3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a security measure.

These are the things I usually carry in my bag.

These go into a Ziploc packet.

• A moisturizing cream for my hands (Vaseline 24-hour moisture cream).
• Burt's Bees lip balm
• Cream blush (Lakme Cheek Artist - Kiss of a Rose)
• A small roll-on deodoarant (Sure)
• Lip scrub (TBS Lipscuff) or just use the toothbrush :D
• A solid perfume (Thann - Passion) - this is a new discovery for me :P
• Mascara - got a sample tube of the Sublime de Chanel from a generous SA.
• An eyeliner pencil that can be smudged and used an as lid colour (Chanel Le Crayon Yeux in Bronze)
• A lip liner pencil or a lipstick depending on whether I packed everything already or not (Shiseido lip liner).
• A small tub of my face cream (Lush Dream Cream).
• A small tube of toothpaste.
• I also carry an Avon twist-up pencil (black) to line my eyes with, but I don't know where that disappeared when I was taking the photo :-|

I never bother with any makeup on flights, especially the longer ones.   Just a few things so that I don't land looking like I just got up from my sleep (which is usually the case) - and these don't need to go into separate pouches since they aren't liquids.

• Hand-sanitizer sheets.
• Wet tissues (love the Olay Daily Facials wet cleansing cloth).
• Tic Tac.
• Powder foundation - Chanel Mat Lumiere - because that's the only powder foundation I have right with me right now :D

My skin gets awfully dry and tired, so I take these along.

• A hydrating mask to use if I get the chance to (Ponds Age Miracle Total Renewal Treatment Mask).  I haven't yet tried using it, though - didn't want to scare the other passengers (and I always ask for an aisle seat).
• An empty spritzer bottle is easy to use.  Just fill with regular water once on board the flight and spritz on to give a boost of moisture.  No problem carrying it on board since it's empty otherwise :)

That's what goes into my bag - or most of it anyway.  What do you carry in your bag for longer journeys?

My mom always carries biscuits/snacks and water whenever she is traveling anywhere (bus/car/train).  She learned it the hard way - I was a really small kid, about 3 years old, and we were stuck on the Jammu-Srinagar highway for a day or two due to the snow.  I wonder what I would have done had I been in her place!!!!!
