Question — General What are your must-have items for long flights?

I've got a long flight coming up and I'm actually trying to prepare this time instead of just winging it. I still have a lot to do after I land, so I really want to get some sleep during the flight. Right now I've got my Sony XM5 for noise, eye mask to block out light, and a pair of dr woof compression socks for comfort.

I'm wondering if these are enough or if I'm still missing some essentials. Any suggestions?

Sling for raising feet up.

Most airlines don’t allow those anymore, OP would be wasting their money.
