The Best Plane Gadgets and

Inventions

Flying is something that I believe you should always prepare for, whether you are going on a five-hour flight or a ten-hour flight. Sitting on a plane for a prolonged period of time can get tedious and boring. Most of the time you just need a distraction or something to help you go to sleep to allow to plane journey to just fly by. This article is full of recommendations that will do just that.

Nomader Collapsible Water Bottle

Staying hydrated (especially while airborne) makes travel way more comfortable as it reduces jet lag, prevents cramps and headaches, and improves your immune system to better resist germs. But buying single-use plastic water bottles at the airport is expensive and bad for the planet.

The uniquely portable Nomader® Collapsible Water Bottle makes travel hydration easy and sustainable by taking up minimal bag space, and eliminating the need for wasteful single-use bottles. Designed with a flexible BPA-free silicone body, the reusable Nomader® bottle can be rolled-up and stashed away when not in use, yet it’s as comfortable to drink from as a hard-sided bottle. This innovative travel water bottle features a patented leakproof cap, an ergonomic carry strap, and a wide mouth for easy cleaning. Additionally, the 22oz capacity (tops off at 25oz) bottle is freezable, heat resistant, and backed by a lifetime warranty.

Flyaway Kids Bed

This is the ultimate travel pillow for kids and a must for families flying long-haul. This cool product sits on top of the child’s seat and extends over the legroom to create a comfy area for them to sleep
and play. Its wipe-clean surface protects little-ones from nasty germs on plane seats. And its side bumpers stop toys and colouring pencils from rolling onto the floor mid-flight. Flyaway Kids Bed isn’t just great for kids, parents love it too as it frees up space under their child’s seat for mum or dad to stretch-out their legs as well!
