I have the LW flight bag that has a cooler compartment, room for 2 iPads and a laptop, separate headset pocket and room for everything else

toiletries
several work uniforms
underwear/socks
jacket
small non perishable food items, to minimize expenses.
water bottle
sunscreen
workout clothes
ipad/headphones.
laundry pods

What are a few essential items you never leave home without? Thanks for the input
Thong for the inevitable Vegas layover…..
