items A few things that make flying a bit less of a hassle. Some are for keeping everything charged and organised, while others just make the flight more comfortable.

I used to think packing cubes were a bit pointless, but they make finding things so much easier. They’re also handy for keeping clean clothes separate from everything else on the way home.
Amazon Essentials 4-Piece Space-Saving Packing Cubes Set

Take it through security empty and fill it up once you’re through. It keeps water cold, doesn’t leak everywhere and you can either use the straw or drink from it normally.

Hotel sockets are never where you need them, so a longer cable is worth packing. The braided ones also cope much better with constantly being thrown into a bag.
