I've Flown 60,000 Miles This Year, and These Are the Carry-on Essentials I Never Board Without, From $15

"Hear me out: This is the single best phone or tablet holder to take on a flight with you. Yes, it's a single piece of moldable, foldable silicone, but that's the genius. It packs flat in your carry-on, taking up essentially no space, but thanks to its reinforced core, it will bend and stay in position to hold your phone, tablet, or e-reader."

"It's the time of year when every frequent traveler opens the app of their preferred airline and excitedly checks the progress of their status. Are they just a few miles short of making that top-tier status? Or have they safely secured elite benefits already? Thankfully, I am in the latter category, having flown over 60,000 miles already this year between a mix of domestic and international flights, business and leisure trips, and premium and economy cabins."

Frequent flyers can prepare for travel by keeping a curated set of fifteen Amazon travel essentials and a few strategic luggage choices in a carry-on. High-use items include a compact, moldable phone and tablet holder that bends to create a personal viewing stand and a luxury sleep eye mask to aid rest and reduce jet lag. Items are chosen for minimal space usage, versatility, and professional convenience for arrivals straight into meetings or events. The selection spans comfort, charging, organization, and sleep aids, enabling travelers to maximize comfort and readiness across domestic and international trips.
