Headphones

Beats Flex Wireless Earbuds are my favorite, and you can often catch them on sale on Amazon. I like these because they have a long battery life (12 hours) and with the magnetic closure, they stay secure around your neck and don’t easily fall off. Also, I can connect two of these through Bluetooth so that my husband can listen/watch something with me.

Travel (or Neck) Pillow

I like the Cabeau Cooling version better than the typical ones you see because it gives greater support to my neck when I nod off in a seated position. With the cooling feature, it isn’t as hot as the other ones.

Phone/Tablet Stand

Charging cords or Power Banks

For phones, tablets, and other electronic devices, most larger planes have USB ports or a stand and an electric plug. For smaller planes or shorter flights, you may not have access to these, so Power Banks are great to have. Power Banks are great if you have long layovers or may not have access to charging resources. I usually carry a combination wall charger/power bank with me. It allows me to charge if I have access to an electrical plug or if I don’t. The one I have isn’t available anymore but it’s a lot like this one.

I also have a small one like this that I like to carry with me when I’m out and about on a trip. GPS drains my phone pretty quickly sometimes.

For charging cords, I recommend getting one that has multiple connectors. These are very useful to charge all of your electronic devices, from phones, tablets, headphones, cameras, etc.

Eyemask and earplugs

If you want to sleep on a plane, I highly recommend taking an eye mask or sleep mask and earplugs. These can range from simple to an all-in-one that includes Bluetooth connectivity. For a simple mask that blocks the light, I recommend these eye masks. They are light and comfortable. If you want a mask that includes wireless Bluetooth headphones, this one works great!

If you need earplugs that are something simple to block the noise, these will do the job. You will thank me when the person next to you starts snoring or a baby is crying.

Don’t leave home without these must-have accessories for flights!

Travelon World Travel Essentials Seat Pack Organizer

This is my new favorite accessory when flying. It holds my iPad, Kindle, and any cords I may need for long flights. Also has pockets to hold other things I may want easy access to. It provides an easy way for me to take what I need for the flight out of my backpack, so I can sit down quickly. Also, have everything organized to put back in my backpack after the flight before deplaning. I have this one in Teal.
