In a room full of frequent fliers, no one had seen or used anything like this before, but our editors were equally intrigued. I was sold. I purchased this $30 Amazon travel essential, and now, a few flights later, I will never fly without it again.

But Brussels has much to offer in its own right, and is a terrific base from which to explore some of Belgium’s most beautiful cities.
