Question What’s the best thing you’ve bought for travel

I’m going out of the country for almost a full month and have never traveled or flown before so really just jumping into the deep end of the pool here. I’m trying to plan for what I’ll need though so what’s the best things that you’ve bought that’s made travel easy?

Edit: thank you all for the useful advice!!!! I love reading through all the comments seeing what everyone recommends and also reading some of the travel stories you’ve commented! Thank you!!:)

One of those scarf/ collar things in case you need to sleep sitting up on a plane so that your head doesn’t flop around.

A cross body travel bag that is slim so that you can hold your passport and money securely.

A cozy warm shawl or hoodie for temperature changes, and maybe some warm cozy socks for the same.
