From electrical tape to sticky notes, a flight attendant says items from a dollar store make both traveling and flying easier.@cici.inthesky/TikTok
CiCi has been a flight attendant at a major airline for more than five years.
She told Insider she never flies without certain items from a dollar store.
Beyond a love for flying, packing, and all things aviation-related, flight attendant CiCi also loves a good deal.
That's why she heads to the dollar store, where she has found a handful of $1.25 items that she always packs in her carry-on.
CiCi, who asked Insider to omit her full name and the airline she works for, for privacy reasons, recently shared her dollar-store packing list, which includes items that help with both flying and hotel stays. Take a look.
