For air travel, I really like my Xreal Air glasses now that I have a newer iPhone 16pro. Just plug in the USB-C cable, and you have a virtual 60" screen in front of you which works perfectly for Netflix, etc. And they cost less than 10% of the cost of an AVP, and are not limited to 2-3 hours of battery life (they get power from the phone).

Note that if you have an older (lightning) iPhone, don't bother with these. They require a pair of dongles. Not only does that make things really awkward, but one of the dongles ends up apparently blocking HDCP, and prevents you from using anything but ... your own... downloaded content.

As I get older, a gin and tonic (or two) is what makes air travel more relaxing.

That and ear plugs with noise cancelling headphones and an eye mask and I can sleep through it all.

I can't even do this at home, let alone in a semi-public place around strangers. Being blind and deaf makes me feel uneasy.

That’s what the gin and tonic step is for
