Flight attendants have a crazy schedule¡ªthey often have to take multiple trips with limited room for luggage. You might often see airline employees breeze through with tiny packed suitcases.
The flight?crew somehow manages to fit their essentials?for their nights away on long-haul?flights?or for quick layovers,?into?one piece of carry-on luggage and a personal bag.
If you were wondering what they carry with them on their trips, you are in luck.?
Susan Brown, who claims to be a?flight attendant, says she typically brings with her two to three suitcases on each flight, but each one is packed with specific items that she may need.?
"You carry the handbag with you at all times. Doesn't matter if you have a layover or not," she revealed in a post on?Quora.
She says the handbag is the most important case and contains important documents and items she needs for every flight.
"In the handbag, we usually have our wallet,?passport, and various crew licenses. And of course, whatever else we like to store in there," she said.
Then comes the carry-on luggage, which they keep with them all the time.?
"Then we have the small carry-on. This carry-on luggage we have with us at all times as well. Doesn't matter short or long-haul flights. In this, we keep our manuals, shoes, and PJs (if we have rest onboard). Then of course whatever else we want or need," she said.
"For example, I have my oven gloves in this carry-on for the times I will be in the galley. I have one extra shirt there in case I spill something on my shirt and need to change," she continued.?
The biggest suitcase will be the larger carry-on, which is normally reserved for flights where the crew might have a layover.
"In this, we keep all our clothes, shoes and whatever else we need. For example, if you have a layover in a cold destination you have your winter jacket there," she explained.??
"I make sure to have some space in my large carry-on for all the shopping I do in various cities. So I can have some space there when we fly back. We check-in this large carry-on before we board our flight," she added.?
