Charge Devices & Keep Track of Your Bag
Check connectors, voltage labels and device compatibility before packing. B&H checkout is temporarily paused until October 18 at 08:25 KST (October 17 at 23:25 UTC).
For a two-prong US charger, this small adapter changes the plug to the round-pin Europlug style used with compatible Korean outlets. Korea uses 220 V power, so check that the charger accepts 100–240 V; this adapter does not convert voltage.
Watson AP-USA-E Two-Prong Plug Adapter
A compact USB-C wall charger for a compatible phone or other small device. Bring the cable that matches your device and the correct plug adapter for Korea; 20 W is not a substitute for a higher-power laptop charger.
Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter
A longer charging cable gives you more flexibility when the hotel socket is awkwardly placed. It has USB-C connectors at both ends and supports up to 60 W with a suitable charger; it does not fit a Lightning port.
Anker 6 ft 60W Braided USB-C to USB-C Cable, White
A bag-finding option for a compatible iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 26.2.1 or later. Pair and test it before departure, then use Find My to check for location updates; it is not a live GPS tracker or a guarantee that a missing bag will be reco...
Apple AirTag (1 Pack) (2nd generation)
A flexible cable lock for compatible suitcase zipper pulls, with a three-digit combination you can set before leaving home. Colors are selected randomly at shipment. Check the cable fit and keep valuables with you; a luggage lock is only a basic dete...

Make the Long Flight More Comfortable
Choose the pieces you will actually use in your seat, and keep small comfort items accessible during the flight.
A contoured U-shaped pillow with an adjustable buckle strap for the long flight. The jersey cover is removable, so it can be cleaned between trips; try the shape before departure because pillow fit is personal.
Open Story Contoured Memory Foam Neck Pillow, Black
A small addition for resting when the cabin lights are on or your hotel room is brighter than expected. The contoured eye cups and adjustable elastic strap let you check the fit before the trip.
Sleep Eye Mask - up&up™
Pack a few spare pairs in your seat-side pouch for noisy travel moments or hotel nights. These foam plugs come with a carrying case; follow the package’s fitting instructions and stay aware of announcements.
Ultra Soft Foam Earplugs - 12 pair - up&up™
Useful if you want to use Bluetooth headphones with a seat-back screen that has a compatible 3.5 mm audio socket. Charge it and pair your headphones before flying; some aircraft sockets need a separate adapter.
Twelve South AirFly SE Wireless Adapter (2nd Gen)
A fleece layer for chilly cabins that packs into its own bag when you land. The blanket measures 65 by 40 inches, so compare that coverage and packed bulk with what you want to carry.
PAVILIA Travel Blanket with Pillow Bag, Pink, 65 × 40 in
Pack a Smaller Wash & Refresh Kit
Decant only suitable products, label bottles and check your departure airport’s liquids rules. These helpers complement the toiletries you already use.
Three small silicone bottles for a short trip’s shampoo or body wash, with caps that lock and collars you can label. Each small bottle holds 1.7 fl oz; check humangear’s compatibility guidance before decanting a product.
humangear GoToob+ Silicone Bottles, Small, 3 Pack
Separate dry toiletries, hair accessories and small bathroom items into see-through zip pouches. Take only the sizes you need; these organizers do not replace checking the rules for your airport’s liquids bag.
Open Story Clear Toiletry Pouches, 5 Piece Set
A flexible roll-top case for carrying a solid soap or shampoo bar between stops. It takes up less fixed space than a rigid box as the bar gets smaller; check the bar size and close it according to Matador’s instructions.
Matador FlatPak Travel Soap Bar Case (Juniper)
A compact manual toothbrush whose head folds into the handle for travel. Keep it in your overnight kit for arrival-day freshening up, then let the bristles dry before closing it for storage.
Colgate Travel Foldable Toothbrush, Soft
Individually wrapped wipes are easy to divide between your seat-side pouch and day bag for wiping away small hand messes. This unscented version is useful when you prefer to skip fragrance; put used wipes in the bin.
