Here’s one less thing to worry about when accounting for travel time to the airport
1) Phone mounts
This is a must-have for any driver these days. Heck, even if your car has Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you should even consider getting a mount for your phone anyway. It’s pretty convenient to have it within arm’s reach. Just remember to mount it properly so you won’t get caught violating the Anti-Distracted Driving Act.
