These in-flight essentials are actually useful and would be a welcome gift for any avid traveler.
Eye Mask
Amazon
Im really sensitive to light when it comes to slipping into REM sleep.
I need complete darkness, but the provided eye masks on red-eye flights just dont do the trick.
Amazon
I need a thick, light-blocking mask that has eye pockets so the mask doesnt press on my eyelids.
It also provides extra neck support so I dont wake up frozen in the dreaded droop position.
It also makes for an indulgent ritual on my flights that feels like a mini spa.
Amazon
Im very careful about germs when I travel because I dont want my trip derailed by sickness.
Bose is a brand that knows sound science.
But babies have other plans.
Amazon
I keep earplugs in my bag to drone out any cabin noise that might be loud and sporadic.
Water Bottle
I have a lot of strong takes when it comes to the perfectwater bottle.
But the most important design feature is for the bottle to have a protected mouthpiece.
Amazon
This Yeti bottle has a secure twist top that wont leak and is easy to use.
It protects the mouthpiece and can insulate both hot and cold beverages.
Airplane Backseat Organizer
I frequently panic that Ive left something in the backseat pocket of the airplane.
Amazon
Both of these scenarios would be solved if I had this seat pocket organizer pre-packed with my in-flight essentials.
I can never get a charging brick to stay in them.
They just fall out onto the floor, and Im left blindly feeling around my seatmates feet.
Amazon
Instead of relying on the airplanes in-seat charging ports, I bring a portable charging bank.
But, you dont need one this fancy.This simple power bankis a lower-priced alternative and slightly smaller.
This tripod stand is slim and collapsible and allows you to orient your phone in a number of ways.
Amazon
Its also an incredibly warm material and perfect for long flights where the cabin temperature can get chilly.
