Top pick:*A rose-gold Samsonite or pastel-colored Away suitcase—durable, classy, and totally photogenic for airport snaps.

Tip: Always pack a light scarf or kimono—perfect for modesty at temples, layering on a chilly plane, or dressing up a casual outfit.

Tinted sunscreen (SPF 50+)
Lip and cheek stain
Travel-sized cleanser, toner, and moisturizer
Dry shampoo and mini flat iron
Sheet masks for in-flight hydration
Pack it all in a clear TSA-approved pouch*to breeze through security while looking fabulous.
