They may look unassuming, but the humble bungee is a second pair of hands you can put to work on your next trip
As the son of a contractor, I am intimately familiar with bungee cords for jobs such as holding tarps, but it never occurred to me how useful they could be on a trip until I happened to have some in my bag on an airplane.
Awash in gadgets including my XReal augmented reality glasses, I looked at the tray table in front of me and thought to myself, “You know what would make this more useful?” A couple of bungee cords wrapped around the tray instantly created more storage space for all the stuff – and for the record I recognize it’s too much stuff – that I use on a plane.
