So things like medications, glasses, and electronics MUST be kept with me in my personal item bag. I want to ensure that some of the necessities are with me at my final destination. I know I can go out and buy clothes and toiletries; however, having some items will just make things less stressful.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-i-wear-on-the-plane\"><strong>What I Wear On The Plane<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I always dress in layers when I fly, with some of the heaviest items on me rather than in my carry-on. I\u2019m wearing running shoes, compression socks (helps prevent leg swelling and reduces the risk of blood clots), jeans, a scarf, a merino wool top, and a merino hoodie. Merino is the perfect fabric for travelling as it wicks moisture, is odour resistant, and breathable.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pacsafe-crossbody\"><strong>Pacsafe Crossbody<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"780\" alt=\"Pacsafe GO anti-theft tech crossbody\" class=\"wp-image-20491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pacsafe-GO-anti-theft-tech-crossbody-780x780.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pacsafe-GO-anti-theft-tech-crossbody-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pacsafe-GO-anti-theft-tech-crossbody-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pacsafe-GO-anti-theft-tech-crossbody-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pacsafe-GO-anti-theft-tech-crossbody.jpeg 1200w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pacsafe-GO-anti-theft-tech-crossbody-780x780.jpeg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pacsafe-GO-anti-theft-tech-crossbody-780x780.jpeg\" alt=\"Pacsafe GO anti-theft tech crossbody\" class=\"wp-image-20491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pacsafe-GO-anti-theft-tech-crossbody-780x780.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pacsafe-GO-anti-theft-tech-crossbody-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pacsafe-GO-anti-theft-tech-crossbody-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pacsafe-GO-anti-theft-tech-crossbody-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pacsafe-GO-anti-theft-tech-crossbody.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>I have an older version of the \u201cPacsafe\u00ae GO anti-theft tech crossbody\u201d and I love it because it can be locked and I can access my phone easily.

I chose the Briggs &amp; Riley Women\u2019s Essential Laptop Backpack. It\u2019s lightweight (1.5 lbs), fits the airline size restrictions (16\u201d x 11\u201d x 5.5\u201d), has a padded laptop sleeve (fits up to 15\u201d), is made with soft but durable nylon fabric and has smart features like a hidden RFID pocket, lockable YKK zippers, and a back panel that slides over my suitcase handle. I did add my own sternum strap\u2014those slipping shoulder straps drove me crazy!<\/p>\n<p>When choosing a knapsack for flying, ask yourself: Is it airline-approved in size, lightweight, and comfortable to carry? A chest strap helps if the shoulder straps tend to slip. Inside, look for compartments\u2014my Longchamp bag has only one tiny pocket, and everything ends up in a jumble at the bottom (a pain!). Bonus points if it\u2019s water-resistant and has lockable zippers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-inside-my-personal-item-bag\"><strong>What\u2019s Inside My Personal Item Bag<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"586\" alt=\"Essential items for personal item bag\" class=\"wp-image-20483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Essential-items-for-personal-item-bag-780x586.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Essential-items-for-personal-item-bag-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Essential-items-for-personal-item-bag-768x577.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Essential-items-for-personal-item-bag.jpeg 1200w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Essential-items-for-personal-item-bag-780x586.jpeg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"586\" src=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Essential-items-for-personal-item-bag-780x586.jpeg\" alt=\"Essential items for personal item bag\" class=\"wp-image-20483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Essential-items-for-personal-item-bag-780x586.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Essential-items-for-personal-item-bag-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Essential-items-for-personal-item-bag-768x577.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Essential-items-for-personal-item-bag.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In my \u201cPersonal Item\u201d bag, I\u2019ve grouped my items under three categories: emergency clothing, in-flight toiletries, plus tech and essentials.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-emergency-clothing\"><strong>1.

Most often, I have an extra pair of underwear and socks and my running clothes because I have often signed up for a race in France. Think about that one outfit you wouldn\u2019t want to be without and consider adding it to your bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background\"><strong>Tip: Compression Packing Cube<\/strong><br \/>To use up as little space as possible I put the items in a compression packing cube. After much research I decided on the model by Thule. It\u2019s not just a packing cube but one that compresses the clothes. There are two zippers. The first closes the bag and the second compresses everything together. Unlike cheaper options that bulge and waste space, this one has structured sides, so it fits neatly in my suitcase and makes the most of every inch.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" data-id=\"20487\" alt=\"compression packing cube-open\" class=\"wp-image-20487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Second-zipper-on-compression-packing-cube-780x585.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Second-zipper-on-compression-packing-cube-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Second-zipper-on-compression-packing-cube-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Second-zipper-on-compression-packing-cube.jpeg 1200w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Second-zipper-on-compression-packing-cube-780x585.jpeg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" data-id=\"20487\" src=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Second-zipper-on-compression-packing-cube-780x585.jpeg\" alt=\"compression packing cube-open\" class=\"wp-image-20487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Second-zipper-on-compression-packing-cube-780x585.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Second-zipper-on-compression-packing-cube-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Second-zipper-on-compression-packing-cube-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Second-zipper-on-compression-packing-cube.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" data-id=\"20486\" alt=\"compression packing cube-closed\" class=\"wp-image-20486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Compressed-packing-cube-780x585.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Compressed-packing-cube-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Compressed-packing-cube-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Compressed-packing-cube.jpeg 1200w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Compressed-packing-cube-780x585.jpeg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" data-id=\"20486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Compressed-packing-cube-780x585.jpeg\" alt=\"compression packing cube-closed\" class=\"wp-image-20486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Compressed-packing-cube-780x585.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Compressed-packing-cube-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Compressed-packing-cube-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.francetraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Compressed-packing-cube.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-in-flight-essentials-toiletries\"><strong>2.
