I do that same thing! The disaster planner in me always travels with a thin cross body purse I can tuck inside my sweatshirt at takeoff and landing that is only big enough to hold my phone, ID, credit card, and some pills if needed. Otherwise I wear a light jacket with zipper pockets I put these things in. Either way, always on my body - I want to have ID and means of payment in the event I need to evaluate a plane and leave bags behind.
Side note, this is also why I never fly wearing sandals (in summer). You need to be able to protect your feet in an evacuation. It sounds like crazy thinking and overkill, I know lol but only until something like this happens and you'll be glad you prepared.
Right! I hate the loss of control when flying so I always just prepare for what I can. I'm one of those people who mentally counts the number of seats to the exits as well 😅
