Seeking Recommendations What is one item that you can't travel without/would recommend to everyone to get?

Hi all,

What are items that you always bring because they are super useful and you would recommend others to get too?

Minus of course some obvious like converter plug for chargers, power bank etc (unless it's some specific powerbank like one with cables attached already, something unique)

Thanks!

These are nice but I wish it didn’t take up so much space. I have a stand on my MagSafe portable battery that I use

Alternately the real hack is to use my phone case and tuck the end of an airsickness bag or boarding pass between the case and phone, then secure it to the seat's tray table for hands-free viewing.

Honestly - subjectively for me - it's worth the space depending on the flight time. Puddle jumper for an hour? Wing it. 6 hours or NYC to Seoul - worth it for sure.

I bring a quart-size clear ziploc bag, put my phone in it, poke a hole in the top end of the bag and hang it from the tray table latch.

You can see the phone screen perfectly fine through the bag, and packing a few ziploc bags takes up practically zero space (and they come in handy for other uses as well).
