Dress Like a French Woman

A Parisian-inspired one-page style guide for effortless, everyday dressing.

What To Pack For A Flight To Paris

Whenever I fly to Paris or on an international trip, I pack several essential items in my carry-on for the long flight. These are the items I have found to be the most useful and the ones I use during every trip. Everyone is different, but these are the ones that work for me when traveling to Paris. Of course, these are different from the other travel essentials I pack for Paris, which go in my suitcase.

If you need more inspiration for packing for Paris, you can always check out my monthly Paris packing lists.

What To Pack For A Flight To Paris

Longchamp Bag

I purchased this Longchamp Bag spontaneously after a Paris trip last year. I was looking for a more significant, thicker, and lighter bag. I love my Longchamp totes, but they have always lacked a thick strap.

This Longchamp bag did the trick; the next thing I knew, it was coming home with me. I’ve started carrying it with me for traveling a bit more than the AWAY Everywhere Bag that I normally use (still a great bag option as well), and another option would be this Lo and Sons bag.

Tote Insert

This insert goes inside the Longchamp to keep things nice and organized. You can order several size options, and I chose the large for this specific bag.

Electronics Organizer

This electronics organizer is a practical way to keep cords and chargers together and not all over the place for easy access when you need them. Most planes have chargers now, and I usually always end up charging my phone and watch on the plane, so it’s nice to find these cords easily.

MERSEA Travel Wrap

My favorite cashmere wrap always goes with me when I travel to Paris. It helps to keep me warm on the plane, which is usually cold.

Sony Noise Canceling Headphones

Noise-canceling headphones are a necessity for a long flight. I’ve had these for years, and they’ve always worked great on my flights to Paris.

Truffle Jetset Case

I like to carry this case in my carry-on with my toothpaste, toothbrush, eye cream, and other items to refresh when I land. For a budget-friendly option, see these from Amazon.

MARVIS Toothpaste

I love this convenient and tasty travel-size toothpaste. Any toothpaste will work, but I prefer this one.

Travel Toothbrush

This travel toothbrush is the perfect size and goes with me, especially during long international flights. I like to brush my teeth several times on the plane before landing, especially when flying overnight.

AirFly

My husband purchased these AirFly for all of us, and they are amazing. You plug this into the headphone jack on the plane, allowing you to connect via Bluetooth to your headphones. No more having to wear airline headphones. It’s very easy to use and compact to carry.

Kindle

I always pack my Kindle for a flight to Paris or international travel for when I want to read.

Mason Pearson Brush

My hair stylist told me years ago never to pack my Mason Pearson Brush because her suitcase was once lost, and so was her brush. So, I always try to carry this with me on the plane. Plus, it’s helpful when we land, and I can refresh my hair.

Mason Pearson Comb

Since, I am carrying the brush with me, I always carry the comb as well for obvious reasons.

Cuyana Leather Pouch

This leather pouch is my carryall and holds things like my small card case, lipstick, chapstick, extra change, hand cream, pen, and other various small items.

Slip Eyelash Sleep Mask

When I need to sleep on the plane, this eye mask keeps light out. It is also great for anyone who has eyelash extensions.

Klorane Eye Patches

My tried and true Klorane eye patches to help with puffiness and tired eyes. Leave them on for around 10-15 minutes and you feel refreshed.
