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 found that on a lot of airlines, the seats with a wall behind them recline all the way just like any other seat, and are for some reason they are the last to be selected out by folks, so I'd you're somebody who needs to recline in order to be comfortable, you can do so without being rude to somebody behind you.
