Hello all! Now that my five months in Vermont have come to an end, I’m traveling back to NYC to begin teaching. From Vermont, I am visiting Montana, and then continuing on to New York. This is my first time flying in over six months, and of course, things are very different. Below you will find the 7 travel essential items you will need for flying during Covid-19. These items will help keep you and other passengers safe, comfortable and healthy!
100% Necessary Items
A Good Mask
This is so important. Most airlines require masks for flying during Covid-19. I recommend bringing a comfortable mask, but also one that you know is well made and will protect you.
Hand Sanitizer
Some airlines provide hand sanitizer, but you’ll definitely want some of your own to use throughout your trip. I love the Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Organic spray sanitizer! But anything with over 60% alcohol content will work.
Travel Size Clorox Wipes/Alcohol Wipes
These are great for wiping down the seats, tray tables, arm rests, your phone and door handles. Clorox wipes are very hard to find in many states, so if they aren’t available use sterile alcohol pads.

Disposable Gloves
Very few people on my flight had these, but they made me feel more comfortable.
Face Shields
Again, very few people at the airport had face shields, but I wanted to be as careful as possible. Amazon has tons of face shield options to choose from, and many are very reasonable priced.
Thermometer
It’s a good idea to have a thermometer handy to use during your trip. This way you can make sure you don’t have a fever before you fly home or interact with others.
Clear Travel Pouch
This pouch is perfect for storing all of your essentials for easy access. Plus, since it’s clear, it can hold liquids for TSA screening.
