What kind of things should I put in my carry on bag for a 20 hour flight and 3 hour stop?

So early next month I'm moving to Australia from Ireland and will be flying for approx. 20 hours with a 4 hour stop in Abu Dhabi. And I have some questions...

1~ What will be worth putting in my clear ziploc bag? Like should I put a mini shamoo in there or not bother because obviously there are no showers on the plane. Should I put my toothbrush in a separate ziploc bag or the same one? (I know the airline I'm flying with gives you toothpaste and a brush anyway)

2~ Do wipes count as a liquid and are they allowed in my carry on? Like a pack of face wipes and a pack of baby wipes.

3~ Do I have to declare hair oil, perfume and a regular sized shampoo that will be in my suitcase because they are liquids or not?

4~ Since my carry on will be above my head and I don't want to be reaching up or getting someone else to move so I can get it, can I have a little makeup bag like in front of my feet to put my hairbrush, my "monthly items", hand sanitizer etc. in?

Thanks â¤
^ The title is supposed to say a 4 hour stop, sorry â¤

Answer
1 - I don't think I'd bother with shampoo or anything. But there may be things you want for the trip, like makeup (any liquid makeups - foundation, mascara, lip gloss - need to go in that bag), lip gloss, hand sanitizer, hand lotion... I'd put your toothbrush in your suitcase if you aren't going to need it on the plane. But you could put it in your Ziploc bag if you want.

2 - Generally, they don't count. You shouldn't have any trouble.

3 - Things that are in your checked suitcase, that goes in the cargo area of the plane, are not restricted by size or anything. You don't have to declare them or limit them. Any size of those items is fine in that bag.

4 - You can generally take a carry-on and a personal item; your personal item is something like a small purse, backpack, or briefcase. You could put those items in that bag and keep it under the seat in front of you. BUT...for security, those items need to be in the Ziploc bag.

How to travel alone with a toddler an infant? By plane. Any advice?

I would like to know how anyone here might have travelled alone by plane with a toddler (mine is almost 2) and a baby (mine is 10 months old). Please I am at a loss at how I will be able to visit my father with both babies. What gear is available, how can this be done? I will of course have help to get to and from the airports but in between with boarding, seating, and after arrival to get to baggage area. Thanks.

Answer
Okay well your one child (the older one) will have their own seat. but you will be holding the baby unless you purcahsed a separate seat. i highly suggest a double stroller and wheel the luggage behind you. You can use your stroller up until the very last second and then they will put it under the plane for you and then they will have it ready for you right when you get off...but that is going to SAVE you. Also make sure you have a backpack so that you can keep a change of clothe, diapers, etc and pack some new toys and snacks so that your toddler will be interested and if you have a potable dvd player i would pack that in the bag as well. Also if they have a favorite binky or blanket or cup i would definately let them have that. Relax and take your time.
hope that helps...happy travels.
