A parachute and a black box.

In all seriousness:

Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Floss
Deodorant
Extra socks
Extra underwear
Condoms
Sleep mask (for usage when flying if flight will be several hours long)
Passport (if going international)
Boarding pass (if you can print it out preflight)
Phone charger
Cash (budget-friendly and keeps you from using your credit card too often and for small dollar purchases)

You'll be fine.

Like Zangulus once described it...

You'll be flying in a piece of machinery that's more than 1 million pounds in weight and going at approximately 500 knots with around 150+ tons of fuel at at heights of around 39,000 feet in the air. This machinery will be packed with people of varying weights, but most averaging more than 100 pounds, each person having brought at least one piece of luggage with unknown contents. Each of these passengers will have varying mental and emotional states and may be carrying. At any moment, the plane could fly into a birds destroying engine(s), the navigational equipment could falter, or something could break apart on the plane as most planes were pieced together in different countries and are many years old and refurbished.

It's a clusterfuck of possibilities.

Yet, consider the following:

Odds of being killed on a single airline flight - 1 in 29.4 million

Initial Climb - 14 %
Climb (flaps up) - 13 %
Cruise - 16 %
Descent - 4 %
Initial Approach - 12 %
Final Approach - 13 %
Landing - 12 %

Cause of Fatal Airplane Crashes

Pilot Error (weather related) - 16 %
Pilot Error (mechanical related) - 5 %
Total Pilot Error - 53 %
Other Human Error - 6 %

Having a powerbank to charge your phone can come in handy. I used to go camping/hiking at least once a month and always brought one.
