Can someone provide a link for one that will charge the a MacBook Air M1? There’s a lot on Amazon, but I’m weary as I had some bad charging cables for i devices.
Got a tip for us?

Not sure if this would solve your problem but this cord goes on your Apple-supplied power brick and adds 1.8 meters to the power outlet.
You can use these on other Apple bricks too. I have a bunch of them from old MacBook Pros.

I’d recommend an extension cord between the wall and the charger but if you must have a longer cord from charger to computer, Anker has always had solid products.

Search for "usb c cable 100w 3m" or 10ft if you are from the US on amazon or similar, there are many available - just select one with good reviews. 100w is of course overkill for your 30W MBA, but it will ensure a high quality cable. Alternatively, I hear good stuff about Aukey and Anker cables and you can save some money by choosing a 60W cable.
Another alternative is getting an extension cord for your charger, Apple's chargers even use a standard electric connector for the cable, so you can find one for like a buck. Obviously original Apple's cable will look nicer.

I like Anker products, have used for years to replace Apple cables that seem to last less than a year for me. I have these 10-foot cables and they work very well.I’d recommend an extension cord to the charger but if you must have a longer cord, Anker has always had solid products.

I've used a couple different 10' cables on amazon without any issues. I like the ones with an L shape connector.
Edit: this (from amazon) is what I have
