I'm a Window Seat Loyalist-but These Travel Accessories Can Make Any Plane Seat Tolerable

"Sorry, not sorry: I'm "that" person who usually refuses to switch seats on flights (especially when I have the window seat). But there are still times when my seat assignment was out of my control. From filling in for an exit row passenger who wasn't able to provide evacuation assistance in the event of an emergency to having my coveted window seat reassigned to an off-duty flight crew member, I've had to navigate my fair share of unwanted seat swaps before takeoff."

"Over the years, I've figured out that the best way to deal with it is by preparing as though it'll happen on every flight. Packing just a handful of in-flight travel accessories, like a customizable neck pillow or a light-blocking eye mask, can help make the aisle or middle seat so much more comfortable. Keep scrolling for the eight products I trust for making unwanted plane seat switch-ups no big deal-all under $30 at Amazon."

Prepare for involuntary seat changes by packing compact in-flight accessories to make aisle or middle seats comfortable. A handful of affordable items under $30 can reduce discomfort when a preferred seat is reassigned. A twistable memory foam travel pillow with a bendable metal core converts into multiple shapes to support the head and neck, usable as a Z-shaped wedge against a window or a donut-shaped neck pillow in middle or aisle seats. Noise-cancelling earbuds cut engine and aisle noise to improve rest and privacy. Eight recommended products focus on comfort and adaptability for unexpected seat swaps.
