4. Remember to take a travel-size charger
Pros: Stay juiced up
What you need: A small power bank
Cost: $10-$20
We all can’t do without our devices. Going on a trip without a charged phone is annoying and also unsafe. There are charging points in airports but it is unlikely that you’ll sit near one. It’s better to have a small power bank.
When you need to charge your iPhone, it’s easy to slip out the power. Also, switch off your phone or set on flight mode after the plane takes off else, it’ll keep searching for a signal and that drains the battery quickly.
5. Pack some wet wipes and some hand sanitizer
Pros: Protection from germs
What you need: Hand sanitizer and wet wipes
Cost: $3-$5
Since planes are often packed with people in close distance of each other, chances of contracting a bug are higher. Ensure your safety by taking a bottle of hand sanitizer and some wet wipes along.
At every chance, apply them to protect yourself from germs. Besides, wet wipes feel refreshing after a long time in the air. After a long flight, most people feel exhausted. Even if you can’t jump in the shower immediately, you can use the wipes to clean up a little.
