I can’t remember the last time I watched on the in flight screen. I just load my phone up and watch what I actually want to watch.

I’ve got an iPad mini that I’ve been using more and more but I still like the option. I always find myself watching something from the inflight system.
 
Kindle.

AirPods Pro.

Business class whenever possible…which sadly isn’t frequently enough.
 
Answer is money. If you have money everything else is a non-issue because you can solve it.
 
Usually business class. Tavel quite often that am on highest tier with two airlines.

Those benefits like lounge access even if I bought an economy ticket and the sky priority are welcome.

Sony xm5 headphones

One high powered USBC charger that can charge laptop, iPad and phone.

Garmin watch with jet lag advisor and my loaded payment cards

My euro SIM gives free roaming data and calls in 110 countries so always covered.

Downloaded offline map in Google maps for whichever city I am travelling too. Saved me a few times.

Citymapper app transit directions

Never do forex unless third world country. But rare. Usually my bank card works everywhere
 
for me it has to be decent lounge access at multiple airports. Having access to good lounges, with decent food, and showers, has made the biggest difference to my international travel experience, compared to my younger, poorer backpacking days

Other than the USA, where have you actually needed your international drivers license for visits of less than 90 days? I cant remember when last I even bothered with an international drivers license. Does one still need to get it from the AA?

Why bother? That's just wasting everyone's time. The less interaction with them the better. OR Tambo is the airport that, instead of pulling you to one side, holds the queue while they're searching your bag.

Most US states, if not all, only require a IDP if your [foreign] license isn't in English.

Where do you download this item, app or device ? Is it a pop-up lounge?
