These 8 tech gadgets make travel a breeze, according to flight crew members

You’ll be using your phone a lot on your trip — not just for staying in touch with folks back home, but for directions, activity recommendations, maybe even to download or scan tickets. All that will certainly drain the battery, and a power bank is a must. 

This one’s a favorite with Amazon reviewers, some of them crew members. “As a flight attendant, I always need power on the go,” said one. “I bought this to replace an older Anker power bank I had left on a plane. This battery is perfect for me. … This battery charges my phone incredibly fast and holds around four full charges for my iPhone X. My only complaint is the shape. I wish it were a tad more slender. … Otherwise a great, fast battery pack and easy to stow for travel!”
