Going to exotic places for rest and recreation will always be the best way to recharge ourselves, if only time and money will allow us to do so every month. Oh, and if only most of those exotic places aren’t located halfway around the world so you won’t have to endure that punishing 14-hour flight.
Well, we can’t move those to-die-for spots closer to home, but we can certainly make your long-distance travel to get there more pleasant. All it takes is a well-thought-out plan that includes never getting on the plane without these travel essentials.
EDITOR’S CHOICE
1. Trtl Pillow
When you’ve practically done everything you can and there’s still several hours to go before your plane reaches its destination, the best thing to do is get some shuteye. That’s easier said than done especially when you’re in Economy and stuck to a chair that barely reclines. So you have no choice but to sleep in an upright position, and you might have succeeded if not for the fact that your head lolls when you drift off and that shakes you awake. This, of course, won’t happen if you have the Trtl Pillow that supports and holds your neck in an ergonomic position when you fall asleep. Lightweight and super soft, it’s scientifically proven to give the best support for your neck, thanks to a patented internal support system that is within the soft fleece.

2. Dream Essentials Escape Luxury Travel and Sleep Mask
As most people who have ridden on airplanes before, there is no such thing as total darkness in the vehicle for safety reasons. So if you’re one of those who simply cannot sleep even with just a sliver of light, this sleep mask should be a gift from heaven. Capable of blocking 100% of the light, the mask is also very comfortable even for those with sensitive skin as it’s made of natural cotton. It’s also got a fully adjustable headband so you can find the perfect fit for your head. What makes it stand out from the rest, though, is that it has eye cavities so you won’t feel pressure on your eyes even if you wear the mask tight. It even comes with a pair of soft foam earplugs and a carry pouch.

3. Kemier Collapsible Silicone Water Bottles
Experts say you can lose up to 2 liters of water during a 10-hour flight because of the climate-controlled environment inside a plane that results in a relative humidity that can go as low as 10 to 15%. This can cause you to feel tired and irritable, taking away a big chunk of the excitement of your vacation. It’s therefore a must that you stay hydrated throughout the flight. But while there is available water in flight, it’s still a hassle asking from a crew. The solution is taking your own water with you using this collapsible silicone water bottle that you can fill up at the airport before boarding. Made of medical grade, BPA-free silica gel and non-toxic and odorless material, the 750-ml bottle can be folded up when it’s not in use, and has a leak-proof, wide mouth for easy cleaning or adding ice to the water. It can also be used for either hot or cold water as it can stand temperatures from -40°C to 100°C.

5. Fire 7 Kids Edition 7-inch Tablet
A family vacation with the kids is always the perfect bonding moment for everyone—once you’ve gotten to your destination, that is. But along the way, when you’re in the midst of a 14-hour flight, things can get testy, and you might start hearing a chorus of “Are we there yet?” until your head explodes. But don’t worry, you can keep them happy and occupied with the Fire 7 designed especially for them. The tablet has a 7-inch IPS display, 16 GB of internal memory expandable up to 256 GB with a microSD card, and 8 hours of mixed-use battery life.

Anker PowerCore+ mini 3350mAh Lipstick-Sized Portable Charger
It’s true that most, if not all, airplanes nowadays feature a USB outlet on which to plug and recharge your gadget while you’re airborne. But it’s usually a single outlet and you most likely have more than one mobile device that will need some juice during the course of your long-haul flight. Fortunately, there are now a host of portable chargers in the market that can satisfy your needs. One of the best is this lipstick-sized power bank that can give additional juice to any gadget to last the entirety of the flight. And because it’s ultra-compact, it doesn’t take much space in your hand-carry luggage so you can bring as many as you and your travel companion need. You’ll certainly feel secure knowing your gadgets will not die on you at the most inopportune time.

7. HASLRA Premium Soft Warm Microfiber Fuzzy Socks
One of the things that frequent long-distance flyers hate is the feeling that their feet seem to have grown a tad too big for their shoes after spending several hours in flight. That is a natural phenomenon when blood is not efficiently circulated throughout the body that happens when you stay seated for too long. So, the best solution would be to make sure that you get some kind of activity every once in a while during a long-haul flight like walking around. It will also greatly help if you can actually remove your shoes. Of course, you can’t go barefoot in an airplane for sanitary reasons. If you need to walk around, make sure you put on a pair of these comfortable and plush socks. They not only provide great insulation for your feet but are cozy to wear as the elastic bands at the ankle do not compress your feet even as they give you a good grip.

8. COWIN E7 PRO Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphone
Airplane travel may be the fastest way to get to that exotic place for a much-needed vacation, but it can also be exhausting if you are unable to get a shuteye all throughout the trip because of all the noise around you beginning with the incessant drone of the plane’s engine and completed by the cacophony coming from the other passengers. Even if you’re not trying to sleep, the constant noise can distract you from the task you’re trying to do to keep yourself entertained, be it watching a movie, doing a crossword puzzle, or writing in your journal. A great headphone, especially the Cowin E7 Pro, should fix that problem. Aside from reducing cabin noise to virtually nil, the headphone also provides crisp and powerful sound with a deep and accurate bass for all your favorite songs. It’s also lightweight and durable, and has soft ear cushions for a comfortable fit and make long listening sessions possible, which can last up to 30 hours in a single charge of its built-in battery. Just connect to your mobile gadget through Bluetooth and you’re off to a world of your own up in the sky.

11. Inflatable Travel Pillow Bed/Leg Rest
Flying in Economy instead of Business or First Class will save you a lot of dollars that are best spent on your actual vacation, but the cramped space and seat can really be a pain in the neck, and virtually every part of your body. Children are particularly affected and will get cranky when they can’t get their desired position when trying to sleep. Adults will have the same issue, but will, of course, deal with it in a “mature” way, but keeping your legs down while in a sitting position for a long period of time can be hazardous to your health because of the lack of circulation. You would want to raise your legs after a while too. This is where the inflatable travel pillow comes in. Made of high-quality PVC and easy to inflate, the travel pillow easily fits the tight spaces in Economy. Its boxy inflated shape makes it an extension of the plane’s seat, giving the kids their own makeshift but comfortable bed. Adults can use the pillow as a leg rest. When deflated, it weighs a mere 8 ounce and comes with its own carrying bag.

19. This Works In Transit Spray-On Moisture
With the very low humidity of airplane air, our skin quickly loses its moisture. To compensate, it produces more oil, and everyone knows how awful the feeling is of an oily face.

You are actually allowed to bring one in your carry-on bag as long it does not exceed 100ml. So there’s no excuse not to have one for the sake of your skin. The In Transit skin hydrator should be a good choice, providing instant relief for your dehydrated skin.

20. Compression Socks for Men & Women
Experts agree that 4 hours or more of inactivity (read: staying seated) during a 14-hour flight poses some serious health risks to people, especially blood clots that may develop in the legs but move to eventually end up in the lungs.
