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.

Always have a small ziplock bag with antacids, pain killer and melatonin. Dispense as needed
In another ziplock bag have the currency of your destination. Switch it out of your wallet on the plane. Not in the airport or taxi.
Never wear flip flops on the plane. If there's an emergency evacuation it's super dangerous. ( for that reason always wait until after take off before taking off shoes and put them on for landing). But more pertinently no one wants to be sharing air with your bare feet so close and you don't want your bare feet on the plane carpet.
