"So now you're curled up in your window seat, looking forward to that long-awaited beach vacation. You've got your favourite travel essentials: noise-canceling headphones, a juicy novel and, of course, your smartdevices. You crack it open to download some offline playlists for the flight, but the low battery notification pops up like a digital gremlin, ready to steal your fun.. Panic sets in - you can't bear the thought of being disconnected for the entire flight!"
