Not much talk about a travel pillow for the plane. Have never used one but see many travelers use it so wondering whether people have a fave or just a waste of space?
This one looks like it will pack up small

Great thread!

First, A CHECKLIST so that I don't forget anything critical! Seriously, without my checklist I'd probably forget something important just about every time.

And second, in addition to many of the items already named, my Garmin Sat Nav because I find there are times I rent cars even when I hadn't planned on it. Carry my own Nav because it's a million times better than the iPhone (never loses signal and infinitely better maps and directions) and it's paid for itself many times over vs. paying Hertz, and cars with navs aren't always available, especially at smaller locations.

Recently upgraded to this model -- has all of North America and Europe! Just used it in the UK a few weeks ago and it's amazing -- warns you of speed traps!

Edit: I forgot one item I didn't see mentioned -- My Travel Alarm -- never trust wake up calls!

I use the Tempur Pedic Travel NeckPillow. I used it for lower back support on the plane and it works great.
