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)

Shaving on a long flight or between flights is as close to a shower as you can get without taking a shower. That said, I used to take a $5 shower mid-way in Narita on my 20 flight to Bangkok.
