The must-have travel accessory that most people would not fly without isn’t an iPod, laptop or a portable DVD player. It’s a printed book or magazine.

Despite the growing popularity of the Kindle and the recent launch of the iPad, 73 percent of travellers questioned in a poll said a low-tech book or magazine was what they wanted with them on a flight.

“It’s refreshing to see that in this high-tech era, some of the most traditional travel accessories are just as important as ever,” said John McCarthy, president of the GO Group, which provides airport and ground transportation and conducted the poll.
