If you’re taking a flight this year, we’ve got everything you need in order to be prepared. Whether it’s long or short-haul, here’s the tech to help you on your travels.
To keep your stuff secure: Apple AirTags
Nobody wants to arrive at their destination to learn that their luggage has been lost, misplaced or just picked up by someone else at baggage claim. Having a brightly coloured suitcase that you can spot is good, attaching a luggage tag is better, but adding an Apple AirTag to your suitcase is best.
Not only are these AirTags great for attaching to your keys, your wallet and anything else that you regularly lose track of, they are lifesavers for flights. Just fire up your iPhone to find your suitcase again with Apple’s Precision Finding. If the worst has happened and your suitcase has been left behind, you know exactly where it is even when the airport doesn’t.
To drown out the noise: Loop Ear Plugs
So you’re safe in the knowledge that your suitcase is taken care of, but what about the noise from that baby crying a couple of aisles away, or the two snoring passengers your sandwiched between? If you’re hoping to get some sleep yourself, or just some peace and quiet, Loop Ear Plugs are the answer.
Loop Ear Plugs have gained a cult following online for their excellent design, great comfort, but most importantly of all, the sound reduction. Their Quiet Ear Plugs, which Loop recommends for travel, reduce up to 27 dB of noise and are designed to stay in whilst you’re sleeping. It doesn’t matter how close that Stag Do is, you aren’t going to hear a word.
To keep yourself entertained: Nintendo Switch
Now you’ve had some rest and relaxation, your in-flight meal and a couple of drinks, how are you going to fill the remaining hours? By getting out your Nintendo Switch of course, because Princess Zelda isn’t going to save herself.
You can pick up a Nintendo Switch Lite for £199, or treat yourself and pick up the Nintendo Switch OLED along with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for £349. If you’re really well prepared, you can also pick up some great indie games from Nintendo’s eShop that will keep you amused throughout your holiday: the sequel to Oxenfree, a supernatural thriller game, is released on 12th July.
To keep all your tech going: Belkin Power Bank
Yes, all of your devices might last the journey, but why would you risk it? If you end up stuck waiting on the tarmac, or outside of your Airbnb, you’ll want to make sure your phone has enough power to keep going. That’s where the Belkin Power Bank comes in.
With the Belkin Power Bank you get 10,000 mAh, and you can charge up to three devices at once (perfect for your phone, your Nintendo Switch and another phone belonging to whoever didn’t plan ahead as well as you). You can get up to 4 full charges before you need to fill it up, and it's compatible with smartphones and tablets.
