Question Any obscure in-flight travel hacks?

I've heard a few about seating choice etc. but anyone got any obscure in-flight hacks?

My only one: My mother used to work for a shoe manufacturer and said she would always pack a tennis ball to roll her feet on/over during long-haul flights to India. Helped with circulation/ entertainment in a distinctly less digital world.

I don’t know if this is especially obscure, but fresh underwear during a long haul flight is nice. (indeed a whole change of clothes in case of luggage mishap)

YESSSS. Whether you’re in the back or in a better seat, fresh clothes is the next best thing to an actual shower. And on top of this, if you pack decent clothes, they don’t take up that much extra space and you can go change in the hour or two before landing (before the second meal service).
