Using Your Cell Phone Abroad
Using Your Apple Watch For Travel Can Save You Time, Energy, and Worry
Hang Your Phone!
Use as a tripod or clip to the seat in front of you.
Bonus: makes a great (and silent) fidget!
Block Bad Smells!
Does someone on your flight have “rectal turbulence”? Seatmate with fish breath?
Open the inhaler side and sniff the vapors
Or place a drop of the oil under your nose, on your wrist, or inside your mask (if wearing)
Slimline Neck Pillow
Adds no bulk or weight to your carry-on
The best neck pillows support your head like a neck brace, keeping your cervical spine in neutral. You shouldn’t need to lean your head one way or another.
I also like my Turtl, but it takes up a lot of space!
An Everything Tool!
Seven quick ideas…
- Secure keys/ wallet/ passport inside your personal item
- Clip your personal item to your rolling carry-on
- Attach your water bottle/travel pillow/hat to your personal item
- Hang items outside the seat pocket instead of losing them inside
- Secure zippers from pickpockets
- Close gaps in hotel curtains
- Extra hanger at the hotel
Compression Socks
They alleviate leg swelling and fatigue. They also help protect against blood clots.
Ofc you don’t want to wear one, but…
…it sure is nice to have one with you if someone near you sounds truly ill!
AirPods Pro
If you’re pressed for space, you can’t beat AirPods for size and noise cancellation. Plus they charge really quickly!
If size isn’t an issue, go with Sony XM4s for better noise cancellation and insane battery life.
Travel-Sized Sanitizing Wipes
They take up no space at all, and it feels comforting to be in clean (non-germy) surroundings.
Tip: Offering one to those seated near you creates instant goodwill
