Gifts For Pilots in 2022

While pilots might not be your typical Wallstreet businessmen, their schedules are kept packed and tight as such. This means that they have little time to keep their smartphones and devices charged and for the most part, they probably don’t have much access to electrical power supplies either. The solution; a trusted portable power bank, of course!

Our power bank of choice is the PowerCore 10000, and for good reason! This is one of the best power banks on the market and surpasses quality standards by remaining durable and reliable. As one of the most compact and lightest 10000mAh portable chargers available, the Anker PowerCore has the ability to provide up to three-and-a-half iPhone 8 charges or two-and-a-half Galaxy S8 charges – this is just an example of its supremacy. And, if safety is a concern, you can rest assured knowing that Anker’s MultiProtect safety system and high-quality LG battery cells are designed to ensure complete protection for you and your devices. You’ll also be happy to know that each PowerCore 10000 comes complete with a convenient Micro USB cable, a sturdy travel pouch, a friendly user-guide, and a reassuring 18-month warranty. This fast-charging power bank takes first place on our list of best gifts for pilots!

Taking luxury luggage sets to the next level, the Lexicon Hardside carry on case will not only appeal to aviators but is also an excellent gift for any frequent jetsetter that needs to keep their luggage compact, safe, and in pristine condition.

Made from break-resistant 100% virgin polycarbonate and covered with a matt and scratch-resistant finish, there’s no questioning the durability of this product. Other features include the carry-on case’s ability to ensure the safety of its contents while remaining easy to maneuver. 60 mm dual-caster wheels allow the luggage to roll smoothly across any surface while taking corners like a dream. Reliable double racquet coil YKK zippers are puncture-resistant and together with integrated Travel Sentry Approved combination locks, TSA screeners can open locks without destroying them. The cherry on the top – a discrete tray in the handle that opens to reveal a USB port, pen, and a SIM card replacement tool – now that’s cool, right?
