Flight attendant reveals the one item she'll never travel without

Flight attendants are probably some of the best people to consult when packing for a holiday.

Peta has been in the industry for 25 years, and has travelled to unique destinations around the globe, including Iran, Pakistan, and Mongolia.

Peta never leaves the country without a medical kit packed in her suitcase.

She explains how this has helped her many times, such as when she was nowhere near a doctor and got an infected tooth.

"I won't travel without at least a general antibiotic".

Another time, she was stung by a wasp on her face, in a remote part of Uganda.

"The whole side of my face blew out", she said. "It started to spread to the back of my head".

Peta was located far away from a pharmacy, and luckily had an antihistamine to curb the reaction.

When it comes to antibiotics, she said she consults her doctor before heading overseas on what she should stock up her kit with.

"You have to self-diagnose and self-administer", she said, adding that knowing how to use the medication is vital.

"You just have to be careful, as some countries have higher restrictions on over-the-counter medications, so you may possible not be able to bring them into some places".

Also included in Peta's kit is a Betadine antiseptic, a sort throat spray, cold and flu tablets, painkillers and bandages.
