Always great information! Thanks!
Good tips! Some extras:
Power banks – some airlines have more rules, you cannot use the power bank during the flight and it must be visible. I put it in the chair storage thing (Sorry. I do not know the name but it is..the chair net? 🤣)
Shoes in suitcase, put socks in them – uses the space inside the shoe and the socks also protect the shoe from being squish.
Comfortable shoes – use them often before travelling! you need to "break them in" first.
