The Power Executive Bundle  is an answer to one of the great problems of air travel.  Trans-Ocean flights often last longer than the battery in your iPod or laptop.  This device plugs into the audio jack of any airline seat and provides electricity through a USB cord.  At $45, it is expensive, but probably not as expensive as a second battery for your laptop or some sort of high tech espow portable solar charger or hand-crank charger (good luck getting either of those through security without some serious questioning).


It is more about enduring the trip than about finding enjoyment. Luckily there are thousands of products to choose from when it comes to making your air travels more comfortable. Unfortunately, many of them rely on gimmicks to sell and do not offer any real relief from the monotony and discomfort of sitting upright in a crowded, confined space for a long period of time. Long flights can be extremely uncomfortable. Being in a plane for more than a couple of hours is not something that anyone enjoys.

The band works by putting gentle pressure on acupressure points that are used to relieve motion sickness in traditional Chinese medicine.  At $60-$90, a wristband is more expensive than a bottle of Dramamine, but offers no side effects and can be reused over and over again. The iTrans Motion-Relief Wristbands are somewhat controversial because they are an unproven natural remedy.  But many chronic air-sickness sufferers swear by them.

The Lights Out has a rigid shape while maintaining a soft feel. This keeps the eyes covered, but also lifts the mask off of the eyes. Even if you are not concerned about natural rapid-eye-movement during your nap, it is nice not to have a mask pressing on your eyes while you try to drift off. The Lights Out Sleep Mask claims to allow rapid-eye-movement during sleep. Traditional eye-covers are usually made of soft material, but can press against the eyes of the wearer.
