Tips for long trips:

In airplanes, airports, trains and buses in some countries, you can find USB sockets for charging mobile phones.
If you are traveling with a laptop, then while it is running, connect your phone via USB cable – this will recharge it.
Consider purchasing a Power Bank (external batteries) with which you can recharge mobile phones and other gadgets.
