Must haves
I echo the multi port charger. I got one off amazon that has 3 ports....one of them works as a fast charger for my Samsung phone.
Flew with a captain a few weeks ago that had a battery pack with a solar panel on it. I since got one and just lay it up on the dash. I end a five leg day with EFB, phone and battery all at 100% |

Don't get caught using that in an airliner cockpit unless your FOM/SOP says you can.
Way overkill. If the iron in room has leaks or melted polyester just call the front desk and have them bring a new one. Let the iron warm up completely and then test it on the bottom part of the shirt first (the part that's tucked in). If you must carry a battery (most devices now have enough battery capacity to easily last an entire FDP), use a good quality one (Anker works) and if it gets damaged get rid of it. A Li battery fire in the cockpit could ruin your whole day. |

To each their own. Thanks for YOUR input. How about instead of giving your opinion on how what I carry isn’t right you give a list of your **** and he can decide what he would like to carry.
You don't want to be the noob who shows up with more bags than the old lady FA's. |
Apps
Good stuff guys, thanks. And I appreciate the humor mixed in as well.
How about Apps - what are you guys using (if anything) to check crew schedules, flight loads, weather briefings, company communication, Uber or Lyft for crews? etc. Stuff that doesn't burn through your battery! |
I think I've seen just about every packing strategy
from a guy that traveled with 3 large heavy bags and 2 coolers (1 cooler just for fill size condiments. Mayo, mustard, etc... No kidding.) To the guy that packed a four day into a 3 pound half size roller board. |

Hopefully you won't need ride sharing to get to hotels, vans should be provided and you don't want to pay for that anyway, but you'll definitely want ride sharing in case you need to get somewhere on an overnight. |
I can pack a 7 day trip into one 22 inch roller and that includes the winter layers.
Combination of rolling clothes and using 2 packing cubes. I use multiple laundry bags so dirty clothes replace clean clothes as the days go by. Under clothes for each day, jeans, shorts, swim trunk, 2 t-shirts, 1 long tee, tennis shoes, flip flops, fleece, outer wind/rain shell, 1 pair exercise clothes (wash in sink with powdered detergent if you get sweaty), 3 way charger, melatonin, multi vitamins, small toiletry kit, and that's about it |
