Its not just you.
This is a problem I run into regularly.
Last year, I flew about 75 segments, almost all seated in economy.
Trying to get things done with a regular laptop is almost impossible.
Not only is that manifestly unfair, but its also uncomfortable for both parties involved.
In the past, Ive considered flying time as dead time.
But it doesnt have to be that way all you need is a decent tablet computer and a keyboard.

Accompanying my new iPad wasthe Logitech Slim Combokeyboard case.
Why did I pick this one?For a few reasons.
Firstly, I trust Logitech.
In my experience, their stuff is almost always well-built.
Secondly, I can physically disconnect it from my iPad and itll continue to work.
This was a pretty grueling flight, even by the miserable standards of most economy cabins.
I flew on an Airbus A330-300, which is typically configured in an eight-abreast layout.
The odds of me getting some work done on the eight-hour transatlantic puddle hop were incredibly slim.
And yet, I did.
I was able to transcribe the lions share of an hour-long interview relatively easily.
Of course, I had to adjust how I worked somewhat.
This wasnt an issue for me, given that I can touch-jot down.
Keys come with a decent amount of travel, allowing you to feel every keypress.
Furthermore, the cases keys are delightfully well-spaced.
In my experience, I was extremely accurate when touch-typing, recording very few accidental presses.
Although I didnt need to test the limits of the case, I cant argue with that.
Why didnt I do this earlier?
Thats the question I asked myself when I landed at Toronto Pearson Airport.
As an added bonus, iOS comes pre-installed with some solid productivity tools, too.
The iPad versions of Word and Pages are excellent, so too is Keynote and Numbers.
Heres how much itll cost per your local Amazon store.
Then, I grabbed the Logitech Slim Combo.
Like I said, this is more expensive than your average iPad keyboard, but its worth it.
Its solidly built, works well, and is comfortable to throw in on for extended periods of time.
Then its up to you!
Heres how much the 32GB version will set you back:
Airplanes can be noisy.
For me, the Ostrich Pillow Go has been nothing short of game-changing.
Sure, its expensive, but itssoworth it.
Do you have your own travel productivity setup?
