3) Basic Medicine and First Aid Supplies
As hard as you may try to be prepared when going on an airplane, you cannot account for every variable. You never know when a medical accident may occur. Accidents become even more unfortunate when the nearest convenience store is 39,000 feet below you. Never panic! While you may not have all the supplies you need, typically the airplane offers them free of charge. On board every flight is a first aid kit and basic medicine. Whether you are trying to get rid of a persistent headache or fix a cut, everything you need is available to you on your flight. If an accident does occur, don’t hesitate to ask the flight attendant if they have the medical supplies you need. This is especially useful information to know when traveling with small children, as you never know what mischief they will get into.
