Who better to offer tips on what you NEED when flying than a flight attendant?
Flight attendants fly anywhere and everywhere hundreds of times a year, and we know anything and everything a person could need to make a flight as pleasant as possible. These are some of my flight attendant-recommended essentials YOU can find on Amazon.
First Up, We Have this Wireless Bluetooth Transmitter
With the advent of bluetooth headphones, fewer and fewer passengers carry wired pairs of headphones to connect to in-flight audio systems. That’s where this transmitter comes in. It features a headphone jack to plug, then can be paired with Bluetooth headphones to allow wireless listening to in-flight entertainment.
Speaking of In-Flight Entertainment, Check Out this Airplane Phone Mount
As passengers become more and more likely to consume in-flight entertainment on their smartphones, some airlines are getting rid of screens on the backs of their seats. If you find yourself on a flight without a screen — or you would rather just watch your own content — this phone dock will allow you to mount your phone on the tray table, so you can enjoy your content hands free.
If You’d Rather Nap, There’s This Travel Blanket/Pillow Combo
For many travelers, a pillow or blanket are essential to air travel. I used to get asked ALL. THE. TIME. if we had pillows and blankets onboard. And the answer to that was no 99% of the time (unless you were flying internationally or in 1st). This 2-in-1 combo provides a portable and easy-to-carry option.
Keep Things Clean With These Travel Wipes
Little secret? Airplanes are full of germs. When you board, make sure to wipe down the tray table, arm rests, and any other surface you’re going to be touching. They don’t get wiped down as often as one might think.
