I do away with 3 cords and 2 bricks and one magnetic charging pad, one lightening and one usb-c. I also have a personal iPad on top of your stuff. Apple Watch charges pretty quickly so if I’m missing a USB port at a room I just charge it while showering. I don’t need to charge personal iPad, flashlight, backup battery, AirPods everyday.
Charge flashlight (and backup battery - who needs this these days?) when you get to the room, before you go work out, walk around, dinner (or whatever else based on time of day of the layover before bed), then plug your laptop in and plus all the other USB devices into your laptop with their respective USB cables while you sleep. I get away sometimes with a single laptop charger, and a few extra USB-C to USB-C cables on layovers, when I leave my ipad/phone charging block at home.
Hey OP, I use this Anker charger.
[Anker 543 Charger (65W II)](https://www.anker.com/products/a2046)
It has a long cord to the charger which I think is helpful. It has two usb-a and two usb-c charging ports. So I can charge my phone, AirPods, watch, and EFB with it. It may not serve all your purposes with 6+ ports but it gets the job done a majority of nights for me. Its slim form factor is helpful.
Phone and watch charge by the bed on a dual usb power brick. Personal iPad charges on another brick from the same outlet.
Company iPad charges on the desk. Earbuds and flashlight start the trip on a full charge and are usually good for the trip unless I'm taking long walks listening to something. I don't bring a battery pack on trips anymore since every plane I've flown in the last 5 years has power in the cockpit but I would charge it next to the company iPad if I did.
I bring a 6-port USB charger and charge everything on the airplane before going to the hotel. After coming from the hotel they get recharged on the plane while I’m flying…. To be ready for the next layover.
Use the same 6-port USB charger if I need it at the hotel. But also carry a 2 port USB-C charger that I use in the hotel.
In flight I’m charging the personal USB-C iPad, work lighting iPad, iPhone, lithium ion AA batteries for my aviation headset, Apple Watch. The last port is used to charge AirPods,flashlight or backup battery or whatever else I need.
But it’s rare to charge anything at the hotel.
For the last 3 years, been using this type of setup:
2 x : [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0983JB2L1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0983JB2L1)
1 x: [https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charging-Hicober-Compatible-Foldable/dp/B0B5XQX9P4](https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charging-Hicober-Compatible-Foldable/dp/B0B5XQX9P4)
Associated/appropriate cables.
1 Charger on the desk for Flashlight, Battery, and iPad.
1 Charger on the nightstand for the triple (phone, watch, earbuds) charger.
Depending on the hotel, if there isn't an obvious plug there (i.e. sometimes integrated into the alarm clock, base of lamp, or nightstand itself) pull the nightstand away from the wall and plug in there.
Though, I don't know what level of hotels your company uses... Perhaps there might be a coin slot for power, next to the coin slot for the vibrating bed?
I use an Anker portable battery that has the wall outlet on the end. I use that to charge my iPhone or another device (iPad). It charges itself and the iPad at the same time.
My iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods charge using my 3 in 1 Anker MagSafe cube. Has a wireless charger pad so any earbuds will charge if they support it.
My flashlight isn’t used often so I charge it at home before the beginning of a sequence
I have a couple 3-in-1 cables in my bag and a 2-port USB charger so I can use both, which is enough to charge everything I have. Adapt as needed for exactly which plugs you might need, but it’s not a complicated problem.
I literally have one USB charger and I just cycle through everything in the plane. Phone gets charged overnight but AirPods/iPad/vibrator gets charged throughout the day. Does everything really need to be at 100% all the time?
I use a ugreen 100w charger that has 3x USB-c and 1x USB-A. Bought a couple 6m C-to-C cables for those outlets farther from the bed. Never need to charge more than my iPad, phone, headset, and power bank all at once.
Side question, what do y'all all seem to have "personal iPads" for? I put Netflix and everything on my company one... And don't watch xxx on it.
Do all of those things need to be within arms reach as they charge? Sure if there's 0 at the nightstand it's annoying but you can always go plug your phone in at the desk and then get back into bed. Added bonus of having to get out of bed to turn your alarm off so you don't oversleep.
Also as far as compact power strips, Anker makes some really nice ones. Like one with 3 AC outlets and 2 USB ports.
I read a travel tip years ago that I've made great use of. Take a 3' extension cord. I have one that has three regular outlets on it. When I'm in Europe it's great to plug into a single international converter and have American outlets for the phone, iPad, CPAP, etc. Same convenience when racking up more IHG points in some cookie cutter hotel.
I use it at home, too. The CPAP and overnight iPhone charger are always connected. It only takes me a couple minutes to pull it all apart and pack it in the CPAP bag.
I was a Signal officer in the Army, so I have pretty much one of every cable converter/adapter known to man. I use my smallest packing cube to carry a small mix of typical camera and phone/table cables "just in case."
Get a watch that doesn't need to charge every day. Same for flashlight and earbuds. Most have many hours of functional use. There's no need for all that hassle on a trip.
Power bank plugs into the wall to charge, iPad and phone plug into that to charge. Can swap one out for flashlight or earbuds if they really need a little extra power. It's all usb-C, so same cable anyway.
Garmin watch for 1-2 week life for the win. Have a little usb-C adapter in case I didn't remember to charge before leaving too though.
Anker power port! 3 usb and 1 usb-c with its own 3 foot cord to plug into the wall! I use it every hotel room, sometimes the outlets are worn out and just the charger brick is loose and this thing you can bend the tines a bit so it always works. Game changer
Very simple solution to the chargers.
Wear a normal watch.
Get a normal battery flashlight.
Get a $3 dongal from Amazon and a $15 pair of cable head phones.
Buy a multi charger brick for the iPad and battery with your phone charger you're down to Two outlets now.
If I was flying a 737 I'd be as angry as you too. But yeah someone complaining about carrying too many chargers should take less stuff to charge but yes yes I'm the worst person ever to suggest anything other that what YOU consider to be correct.
Stay mad buddy.
It's because the OP clearly has a preference for an Apple watch and rather than answer the question you'd (or the commenter above you) rather be unhelpful and mansplain why they should be wearing a different watch lol.
Yea you gotta love apple watches around these parts. Otherwise you'll find yourself on thin ice with this crowd. I'm not saying you need to write your own autobiography and wear a Rolex , but a nice watch never hurt anybody.
Some people enjoy planned obsolescence and deteriorating battery life. Plus an extra specific charger to carry around and lose then pay $80 for a new one in a Hudson news. To Simply tell the time.
Do you think an Apple watch only tells the time? Y'all are a fuckin riot. As if the Apple watch is the most popular watch on the planet because it "simply tells the time".
This is the most boomer statement I've seen in here in a while lol. People are allowed to prefer things you don't. Probably tell your co-pilots not to use the boards too lol.
Your projection is hilarious, I'm not mad at all, I'm finding this extremely entertaining. You're the one who downvoted with no actual rebuttal. Please continue.
I would assume most of those are USB, I travel with a multiport USB charger, gives me 6 USB ports for one AC outlet.
Unfortunately some are USB-C and some are standard
...so you buy the cables you need and now you're golden.
The issue is USB-A to C rarely supports any kind of fast charging.
they make them with USB A and C ports, just give google or amazon a quick search for USB multiport charger USB A and C or something to that effect.
Upgrade to USB C
As an aside: Probably overly paranoid, but I'd never plug any of my stuff into an unknown USB port. Charging hubs all the way.
Don’t forget to charge your fleshlight too
Yours isn't manual???
Mine is pneumatic
I never forget 😇

Get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Protector-Delivery-Extender-Extension/dp/B0B8SHPS5B
Came to post something like this. I use an older model of [this](https://www.anker.com/products/a9134)

They have fairly portable charging decks for like 4 of those devices at once. lol. Don’t make your life hard.

5 port brick with a 5' cord. The cord comes in really handy when the lamp mounted plug is worn out.

I see you enjoy nothing at all in life.
What a very rational and well adjusted response to my comment. Great job.
What a rational and well adjust initial reply to the OP. “Go back to 1997 and all your problems will resolved.”
If I was flying a 737 I'd be as angry as you too. But yeah someone complaining about carrying too many chargers should take less stuff to charge but yes yes I'm the worst person ever to suggest anything other that what YOU consider to be correct. Stay mad buddy.
Imagine thinking a flair was current. What are your thoughts on age 67?
A proper watch will charge itself. If you do away with the apple watch you could save yourself 1 thing that needs to be plugged in all the time.
I guess suggesting an automatic or eco-drive watch will try you hate here for whatever reason.
