In Europe, traveling by plane has gone from being reserved for the richest classes to being more accessible to all budgets, so much so that there are flights for up to 17 dollars. Nevertheless, it is worth taking into account a series of tips on how to fly as well as those accessories to have on hand when you go on a plane.
Not all flights are extremely long, but Normally when we take the plane it’s because the distance is long and this implies that we will stay inside the device for some time. This is why many people choose to pick up their cell phone and use it, even without a data network or WiFi connection.
But It is equally important to remember to bring the right accessories., both for the trip itself and for waiting at the airport or using your cell phone in the destination country you are traveling to. This wouldn’t be the first time someone has had to buy accessories because they didn’t bring them with them.
travel charger
The first accessory is the most obvious, the charger. It can be the same one that you have at home or at work, but it must be taken into account that on airplanes the space for sockets is small, so the size of the charger itself is important .
One of the most interesting proposals is the Anker 511, an extremely compact charger, easy to carry in your backpack or bag, with 20W fast charging. It comes in 5 colors and uses a USB-C connector, so to charge a regular Android mobile phone, or tablet, you would have need a USB-C. C to USB-C cable, which will need to be purchased separately. The charger has a price of 11.99 dollars.
Mobile support
One of the latest additions to my travels was the holder that allows you to use your cell phone in the seat of an airplane. Instead of a suction cup or flat part, it features a clip that attaches to the food tray when closed. In this way, it serves as a claw for the cell phone, right in front of our face.
This holder allows you to rotate your phone and place it both vertically and horizontally. It is very compact, which allows it to be stored without taking up much space, and at some point it can also be used as a music stand on a flat surface. The price is less than 13 dollars and it’s definitely worth it.
Another option is to use a book-style cover that also allows it to be folded to serve as a stand. The models vary depending on the phone we have, but their prices are less than 10 dollars, and this will also protect the cell phone during the trip we make.
Portable battery
We don’t always have a charger on hand when we need it, either because we are at the airport and there is no space to charge electronic devices, or because we are away from home or hotel and we are running out of battery. For this, it is a good idea to carry a portable battery, previously chargedand with the necessary cable.
If our mobile has wireless charging, you can consider carrying one with this charging system, although it is always good to carry the cable to be able to charge faster. This model has a 10W Qi charger, 10,000mAh capacity, and 18W USB-A and 18W USB-C ports. Additionally, it has an LED charging indicator and costs less of 25 dollars.
Noise cancellation
The last accessory we are going to recommend is one of the most important: headphones. In the plane, the noise is generated by the engines, the turbulence, sometimes some passengers are more annoying than necessary… for all this it is a good idea to take some be able to watch series and films or listen to music.
One of the keys to choosing wireless headphones for use on airplanes is that they feature active noise cancellation. This is something that only the most expensive models had a few years ago, but which is currently found in devices costing less than 100 dollars. This is a great way to cancel out the noise of the plane’s engines and reduce the sound of other passengers’ conversations and other noises.
Moreover, the best is opt for those that are very comfortable. They may be TWS, but on long flights we may drain their battery. Over Ear, those with a headband, are generally more suitable for this type of travel, although they are also larger and more uncomfortable to store, but this helps when wearing them for a long time. There are hundreds of different models. In the case of TWS, the proposals of CMF and Nothing stand out in the lower part of the prices, and those of Sony in the upper part.

As for the headband proposals, Sony offers one of the most popular with or without cable, but there are many other options with significantly lower prices, such as those that can be seen at Lidl. As we mentioned, they are more comfortable to wear for many hours, but they also take up a lot more space in the suitcase or backpack we carry, and we will not be able to just put them in our pocket.
