The Multi-Tasking Must-Have
While there are many travel necessities that have multiple uses, one of the best items you can pack for your trip is a light shawl. It is a must when it comes to long-haul flights.

Not only does a light shawl double as a sarong or even towel on a beach trip, but it can make a quick blanket for chilly flights or public transportation with strong air conditioning. Shawls or other coverups are also a necessity when visiting certain religious sites in order to be respectful or gain entry. You can even fold or roll up the shawl to make a simple pillow for some much-needed mid-travel naps.
