I really noticed a difference in how good my legs felt while wearing compression socks when flying. I tend to remove my shoes on long flights and put a warmer pair of socks on as well. It is great not to have swollen legs at the end of the flight. After the first time I tried the compression socks, I sent some to my mom to wear whenever she flies.

These socks are a great gift for parents and grandparents! Consider it for pregnant travelers as well, who are at a higher risk for DVTs!

My brother in law uses this pouch to keep his insulin cool while flying.  This is a great product for anyone with medication needing to be kept cool.

Remember all medication must be properly labeled to clear security. Any liquid medication should be declared to the TSA agents to prevent hassles.

This little insulated bag was invented when the hot sun melted a bride's makeup and she decided to design a bag that would keep her makeup cool. However, for my flight I chose to use the IcyBag for storing my brother-in-law's insulin and my son's Colby Jack individually wrapped cheese. I placed the 3 ounce gel pack in the freezer the day before we traveled and wrote a note to myself to remember it the day we left.

The little gel pack was frozen solid -however, I did still remove it for security (since it is a gel) and placed it in the bin with the medical supplies I was also declaring.

The cheese snack was a great addition to the crackers and a nice cold surprise for my son mid-flight. It also was good for my breastfeeding sister when she needed a snack.

I was surprised when I was able to fit an entire sandwhich inside the bag without squishing it. The bag is larger than it appears yet very convenient to travel with as it fits into a diaper bag or purse and can be attached to a backpack or suitcase with the two different types of hooks on the bag.

I prefer to use this over some of the other bags I have used in the past to keep medication cool. No mess with this bag as the closed gel packet is inserted into a thin fabric cover and is tethered conveniently in the middle of the bag. The gel pack is reported to last 3 times as long as ice.

Like many products that are valuable for travel, this bag's many uses make it a necessity for life away from home-whether in the car or on an airplane.

From preventing makeup and lotions from melting or from getting piping hot- to keeping snacks or medication cold, this make-up size, water-resistant bag may surprise you how handy it is for your traveling needs.

I originally was interested in recommending these seat covers for sick children that are flying to children's hospitals, sick kids camps, or for the much needed family vacation. Many times a suppressed immune system necessitates extra steps - and we all know that flying exposes us to "international germs". I also liked these covers for people who have environmental and food allergies.

I reviewed both the disposable and the washable airplane seat covers on this last flight. That's when I realized - even though I had thought of this cover for sick kids, it was calming to me to see my child settle into his seat and be surrounded by a seat cover that I knew was "ours". The cover I reviewed was a pleasant sage color, but there are many different colors and patterns available to choose from - camouflage, zebra, and even hot pink - the list goes on to suit your taste. There is also a chenille material for an ultra soft seat. An added bonus is the monogramming option for the Elizabeth Collection solids.

My son sat in the seat with the washable sage cover and I sat in the one with the disposable blue cover. His seat was more colorful, softer and seemed to stay in place easier.

However, I think for those trips where you don't want to haul a cover around, the disposable option is great. The disposable covers come in a pack of two and the washable cover has its very own zipped case for keeping your cover clean and easy to transport.

For those who are traveling with compromised immune systems or allergies, or anyone who wants protection from soiled seats, PlaneSheets not only personalizes your seat, but protects from any "personalization" done by the massive amounts of passengers who sat in that seat before you!

Compared with the protectors provided in public restrooms, these potty protectors are larger and cover the areas that toddlers touch. They can also be held in place by adhesive.
