Pilot's wife shares the only two neck pillows she recommends for long flights

Daily Mirror5 days ago
Loads of plane passengers use neck pillows to help them feel more comfortable on long flights, especially when trying to sleep. Now a pilot's wife shared the only two she would recommend
Many people use a neck pillow on planes, especially during long-haul flights. This travel accessory supports the head, neck and shoulders, providing comfort when sitting upright on a plane.
It can also make it easier for passengers to sleep during flights and reduce strain on their head or neck. Those who have flown in economy know it's not the most comfortable as there's limited leg room and unlike business and first class, the seats don't extend to flat, lie-down positions. With this in mind, travellers look for other ways to feel more comfortable. A pilot's wife called Laurie gives lots of travel tips on her Instagram page and she recently shared a post listing her long flight travel essentials from Amazon.
Her list .
1. Cabeau neck pillow
Laurie's first long flight-must have is a neck pillow from Cabeau and she recommends it for 'long necks' in particular.
In the caption of her Instagram post, she explained: 'The velcro straps loop around your headrest so your neck does not fall forward.'
Cabeau has been recognised for its range of award-winning neck pillows that are designed for comfort.
They can be bought from Amazon from £23.20 to up to £46 depending on the product.
2. Neck pillow by Trtl
The travel expert, from Houston in the US, is also a fan of the Trtl Travel Pillow. This is the brand's best selling item and is made from hypoallergenic fabric that is stretched to create a comfortable hammock effect.
Trtl boasts on its website that it is 'scientifically proven to help you drift off anywhere, anytime.' The Trtl Travel Pillow is available on Amazon for £60.
3. Heat-monitoring power bank
Laurie has a power bank that monitors the heat when she charges her phone on a plane.
Some power banks have thermistors, which continuously monitor the battery's temperature and if it detects excessive heat it triggers a protective mechanism that cuts off the circuit to prevent overheating and potential danger.
Phones and other electronic devices use lithium-ion batteries, which can overheat and possibly cause fires on a plane if damaged or exposed to extreme temperatures, so heat-monitoring power banks can help stop this from happening.
4. Set of three pouches
Laurie recommends taking a set of three pouches as part of carry-on luggage on a plane.
She uses the large pouch for mid-flight essential items. Travel pouch sets can easily be found online and there are several on Amazon with varying prices.
5. Pill organiser
The experienced traveller takes a pill organiser with her on long haul flights to make sure she can easily find the medication she needs. She fills it with AM and PM pills for the long flight.
Airlines often advise passengers to pack medication in their hand luggage, especially if they need it during flights.
6. AirPods cord
Many passengers listen to music during flights using AirPods but as these are wireless they can fall and get lost, such as on a dark plane.
Laurie has a cord to keep her AirPods together in case one falls out of her ear. Amazon sells a magnetic AirPods strap for £5.

Cwmbran: The estate agent defying stereotypes in book series

Eric Meek, the protagonist of "The Time-Travelling Estate Agent" series, written by former journalist Dale Bradford, is defying stereotypes by befriending almost everyone he meets. The first novel, released in November 2024, has consistently been one of the top 30 best sellers in Amazon's Bestselling Time Travel Books chart. The sequel, "The Time-Travelling Estate Agent 2," has now been released and is also battling for top position. Both books have been well-received by readers, with 84 percent of the first book's readers, and 100 percent of the second book's readers, awarding it four or five stars. Dale Bradford said: "The Time-Travelling Estate Agent has certainly found an audience and I've been delighted to read so many positive reviews. "Eric has proven to be a very popular character and following the BBC Panorama broadcast, and the earlier Sell House Fast study, he might even be helping to improve the public's view of the profession." The series is set in and around Cwmbran, South Wales, and will be made into a trilogy, with the final book being published in early 2026. It follows the story of Eric who discovers a hole in space-time in a house he is valuing, which allows him to travel in time. Eric uses this to go back to 1976, the best and worst day of his life, and attempt to right the wrongs of his past.
