Be prepared to board a plane along with things that will ensure your survival in the event of any emergency. If you are going on vacation with a few friends on a small rented aircraft, bring along an airplane survival kit or more. There are deluxe and economy kits available and these are designed for 1 to 4 people.

Go for airplane survival kits that are light weight but provide the essentials for survival until rescuers arrive. Each kit is fully contained in a backpack for portability, convenience and ease of storage. Food and water rations must have a 5-year shelf life and should be US Coast Guard approved.
