However, long haul flights kill your initial excitement because honestly, you don’t want to arrive all tired and disliking your flying experience.

Solar powered charger

The only thing that gets on your nerves is the revelation that your smart-devices are inadequately charged. With the lack of a power point up above in the sky, the solar powered charger is like a diamond for us. It sticks onto the window of the airplane and converts sunlight into electricity. This keeps the workflow in place and full batteries on arrival.

You’ve always dreaded the place where you would be face to face to a situation of a no-luggage show at the baggage claim. The luggage tracking technology has been a saviour for far too long and intends to keep doing the work it does. It would always know if your luggage has come all the way to you or has it gone missing someplace. Just place the tracker on to your luggage and it would automatically send the location of its whereabouts.
