ZERO WASTE AIR TRAVEL: WHAT TO BRING ✈️✈️✈️
If you fly overseas, you’re likely to have two meals on the plane. For many airlines, that means 2 plastic spoons, 2 plastic forks, 2 plastic knives, disposable napkins, possibly sugar or salt and plastic sleeves. Airport security really will let you through with actual silverware. You can bring an extra mismatched fork and spoon, so that if they do take it from you it's not something you'll miss. Wipe them off between meals or use one for each meal.
✈️ LIQUID CONTAINERS
If you bring a full water bottle or coffee mug, they’ll ask you to chug whatever is in it or throw it out, so make sure it's empty. You can bring a water bottle and an insulated travel cup and fill both with water before the flight. This way, you can reduce your need of water from the bottles, or not need it all. Ask for your coffee or tea in your own cup.
✈️ FOOD IN REUSABLE CONTAINERS
If you can avoid the airline food, do so. Everything comes overly packaged and wrapped in plastic and foil. Traveling for only a week or so, you can try pack a meal (or two) and try to avoid the unnecessary waste.
✈️ BLANKET/EYE MASK
Some airlines will also provide you with plastic bags containing small pillows and blankets. You should bring an extra sweater or a heavy scarf to bundle up because planes can be pretty cold. Bring a blanket scarf and an eye mask to feel warmer and you don't have to worry about who used it before, if it was destined for the trash, if the polyester would be washed and release microplastics into the water systems.
