Item | Purpose | Rating | Comment |
Bose QuietComfort 20i Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones | Avoid noise fatigue | +++++ | Next to water, the single most important in-flight item in my opinion. |
Flight Spray | Avoid dry nose | ++++ | Much more effective than the damp washcloth I used formerly. |
No-Jet-Lag | "For the relief of tiredness and jet lag associated with flying" | ? | Despite taking as directed, not really sure if this had any effect, though there are plenty of positive reviews on Amazon. |
Source Naturals NADH 20mg | "Helps relieve drowsiness and restores alertness and energy" | ++++ | Definitely seemed to help keep me awake when needed. |
Herbatonin 3mg Plant Melatonin | "Helps support normal sleep patterns when disrupted by travel and changing time zones" | ++++ | Definitely seemed to help get me to sleep when needed. |
Vitalsox Graduated Compression Socks | Possibly help prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism | ? | Did not really feel any difference, but also did not develop DVT (not that I ever have). |
Memory Foam Neck Pillow | Doze in relative comfort | - | Despite hours of research (and a slew of positive reviews on Amazon), this did not work for me at all - gave away after landing. The vast majority of reviews are overwhelmingly positive, however. |
Water | Avoid dehydration (and in-flight meals) | +++++ | A must. |
