10 Amazon Finds That Can Turn an Economy Flight Into a First Class Experience

Long-haul flights can be tiresome, causing you physical and even emotional discomfort. However, there is a way to level up your travel experience and turn ordinary economy flights into business-class trips. Look no further than Amazon for travel accessories that will make your flights more enjoyable. We’ve compiled a list of 10 must-have items that you won’t want to travel without once you try them, including a neck support pillow with a hoodie, a foot hammock, and even your own personal window shelf.

1. Say goodbye to neck pain and sleep peacefully on a long flight with this neck support pillow with a hood! This innovative pillow not only supports your neck but also blocks out disturbing noise and light, allowing you to get some much-needed rest. The pillow is not the inflatable kind — it’s filled with microbeads that mold to the curves of your neck and relieve muscle tension. Plus, it’s lightweight, so taking it with you on long flights should not be a problem.

Promising reviews: I got this for my son to use on a long flight. We ended up fighting over it. It’s really comfortable, and the hood is a cool feature. It did a good job of blocking the reflections from the plane wings. I would recommend it. @Amazon Customer

It’s a great product. I very rarely sleep on a plane, but when I saw this one with a hood, I thought I’d give it a try. I traveled to New York and slept comfortably with this. It’s not the smallest item, and it’s not an inflatable one, but it can be tied to your backpack. @Amazon Customer

2. Keep your devices charged on the go with this portable power bank. With its compact design and fast charging capabilities, you’ll never have to worry about running out of battery again. The item fully recharges in just 1.5 hours and comes in 3 stylish colors. There’s no need to carry around extra cables, the power bank alone is enough to charge your gadgets. The item is compatible with iPhones and AirPods.

Promising review: This is a great charger. It’s easy to charge up with the included USB cable, and it’s fast charging! I manage to get 2 full charges on my iPhone before having to charge it again. It’s very handy to have, and it doesn’t take up room in my bag. It fits easily in my pocket too! @SASSY

3. Keep your kids entertained and fed during a flight with the snack spinner. This interactive gadget features 5 compartments with lids, perfect for holding small snacks. The button on top rotates the compartments, providing endless entertainment for little ones. The snack spinner is made of durable material and is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.

Promising review: I’m always looking for products to make life a little easier when traveling with toddler twins. I ordered 2 of these products for packing snacks for airplane travel. The product is durable, easy to take apart to clean, and fun for the kids to use. My 3-year-olds have no issues using the spinner or opening the lid.
I do wish the compartments were a little bigger (as it fits only 3-4 mini pretzels in one compartment, and if you do pack some food items too high, it can get blocked trying to spin). But it’s great for candy, cut-up strawberries or raspberries, raisins, and goldfish crackers. @AK_TwinMom

4. Watch your favorite movies hands-free with this adjustable clip-on phone holder that can be mounted on the seat in front of you. Featuring a 3-part rotatable design, the phone holder supports multi-directional adjustment for your ultimate convenience, while its non-slip rubber pads keep it in place. It folds up small enough to fit in your pocket when you’re not using it.

Promising review: It’s a must-have for international flights! I bought this mount for watching downloaded movies on my phone for a US-Asia flight, and it’s definitely worth the money. The mount is sturdy and offers versatile viewing positions. I attached the mount to the existing monitor in front of my seat, and it stayed in place for 15+ hours. @Free2shop

5. No more swollen feet with this adjustable airplane foot hammock! Its removable flat insert provides rigid support for your feet, preventing them from squishing together. The adjustable straps allow for a secure attachment to the seat in front of you. By changing the level of your feet during long flights (with the help of this hammock), you can considerably reduce pressure on your ankles and back.

Promising review: It’s a must for long-haul travel. I bought this before a long-haul flight to South Africa. I normally get very achy calves and swollen feet. I thought this might not be strong enough, or snap, or the strap would give way, but it was perfectly fine and gave me so much comfort, especially as our plane had no footrests. I won’t travel without it again. @Ss

6. Travel in style with this luggage cup holder, perfect for keeping your favorite drinks secure and spill-free while on the go. This compact caddy can hold up to 2 drinks and your mobile phone, cash, and headphones, making it a must-have accessory for any traveler. Also, it’s super easy to use: All you need to do is to insert the holder into the luggage trolley. You can put the beverage side in front or behind the suitcase.

Promising review: I bought it on a whim! I have been stopped by EVERY airport flight attendant I have come across asking about this. I can’t tell you how many photos have been taken of this little cup holder! It works as stated, saving me from countless spills inside a plane and in airports.
I fly often and always get a big coffee and a bottle of water before boarding because I always take early flights and usually get one when I land as well. This also has a pocket for your phone that I double as a phone battery holder when I need to charge up.
Running through an airport with a coffee can be dangerous (trust me) and messy, but not with this! It slides over the luggage handle, and voilà, you’re good to go. I’m obsessed with this thing and am ordering them for my family as stocking stuffers! I imagine moms would also love this for holding sippy cups and bottles. You won’t regret buying this! @Clarissa Luna

7. Say goodbye to distracting background noises during your flight with these noise-canceling earplugs. While reducing the noise level, they allow you to stay present and hear important announcements and conversations. Thanks to their clever design, they sit comfortably in your ear and look like stylish accessories. The earplugs are available in several colors, and each package includes 1 set of ear plugs, soft silicone ear tips in 4 sizes (XS-L), and 1 handy carrying case.

Promising review: So far I’m very impressed with these. As someone who hates crowds and gets very agitated in them, I actually can’t wait to give these a go. I tested them in the garden with the neighbors getting their garden done, there’s a definite reduction in background noise, but I was still able to hear my own surroundings, including the dog crying beside me.
I don’t think these completely cancel noise, but that’s not what I bought them for. I’m using the smallest size buds, but you get 4 options which is nice. I also really like the case they came in. @Laura Flanagan

8. Make passing through airport security a breeze with this set of 12 clear toiletry bags. You can put all your liquids in these sturdy bags, and rest assured they won’t leak, as the bags are made of durable, high-quality materials. The bags are completely transparent and logo-free, which makes them a perfect solution for speeding up your security checks.

Promising review: These are excellent. I have used them on many trips recently, and I’m still on the original pack, as you can reuse them quite a bit. I have had comments from airport security on how good they are, and I’ve never had an issue. They close up firmly, so there are no issues if you happen to have a leak in something. @A. Cooper

9. Long flights often cause our legs to swell, but that won’t be a problem if you wear these innovative compression socks. Designed to relieve muscle tension and improve blood circulation, they can also help you treat restless legs and can be worn while doing physical exercise. They come in a variety of colors and patterns.

Promising review: Initially, I thought they might be too loose on my legs as I’m rather thin, but they were putting very good pressure all around during my long flight. They are good quality, and they look really nice too. I can recommend them! @Dorota

10. If a standard tray table is not enough for you and you would love to have some extra space for your drink or mobile phone, don’t miss this brilliant window shelf. You can easily install and remove it, as it just slides into the window shade track. Designed to fit most commercial aircraft windows, this shelf is a must-have accessory for any frequent traveler.

Promising review: It really is useful if you are on a long flight in a window seat. It increases the area you can store things, and I did have a flight attendant ask for details about it as she wanted one. It’s lightweight, so it doesn’t really affect your carry-on. @Greg T
