Kmart Australia has just launched a 'very ugly' $49 travel buy that solves a problem we ALL face on a plane
Holidaymakers are flocking to Kmart Australia stores after the budget retailer recently launched their $49 Bluetooth Travel Pillow Headphones.
Although unsightly when worn, the tech travel item has been praised for combining the supportive qualities of a neck travel pillow with built-in Bluetooth headphone capability.
The clever item resolves the common issue of trying to juggle wearing a neck pillow and wireless Bluetooth headphones at the same time - without the two travel essentials often knocking or interfering with one another.
The must-have is described as a 'fusion of premium comfort and cutting-edge audio experience' that will 'redefine your travel experience'.
Importantly, the Bluetooth headphones offer a potential 30 hours of play time when used at 80 per cent volume. This means there's no need to worry about the headphones running out of battery mid-flight.
The tech travel item is charged via a USB cable, with one included with the device. It takes approximately two hours to fully charge.
A small control panel on the right side of the neck pillow features the power, volume adjust and Bluetooth pairing buttons.
The Kmart Bluetooth Travel Pillow Headphones, $49 are soft and cushioned, with an under-chin strap to ensure a snug fit. There is a small control panel for the headphones on the right side of the pillow
The dimensions of the combo headphone and neck pillow are 19cm height, 21cm width and 21cm diameter.
The cushioned pillow also features an adjustable (and amusing) under-chin strap, so that it fits snugly and offers quality neck support.
The headphones themselves are also encased in a soft ear pad, ensuring the ears are cupped for both sound quality and comfort.
Travellers can also rest assured as they come with a 12 month manufacturer warranty.
A Kmart store worker recently highlighted some of her other favourite travel essentials in a video shared to the brand's TikTok account.
One of the store worker's top picks was the 3-Piece Packing Cubes, priced at only $8.
The female employee explained in the video that the different sized cubes were perfect to help you 'maximise storage in your suitcase'.
Made of polyester, each of the packing cubes has an open mesh design with zip closure and carry handle.
The suitcase storage saver has a 4.2 star rating on the brand's website, with many jet-setters raving about how it helps keep your luggage 'tidy and sorted'.
One reviewer was pleased with the way the cases were able to 'compress clothes into taking up much less room' inside their suitcase.
The other travel item highlighted in the recent social media video was the Anko Universal Travel Adapter Kit.
The $39 item is described as 'the only travel adaptor you will need in your suitcase,' according to the online product description.
The travel gadget has two USB A sockets and two USB C sockets, as well as two main outlets.
It also comes with four interchangeable adaptor plugs to enable your electronic devices to be plugged in while visiting the US, UK, Japan, Europe, Bali and Hong Kong.
The Kmart employee also made mention of the travel adaptor coming with a drawstring storage bag, allowing you to neatly store all of the adaptors together without losing any of them.
'Handy for travelling between different countries. Small enough to fit in your hand luggage,' read one of the many five-star reviews of the Kmart adaptor.

Qantas cancels flights at double the rate of Virgin, competition watchdog finds
Qantas has cancelled flights at double the rate of Virgin, its main competitor, which had the lowest monthly cancellation rates of any major domestic airline over the past year. Air fares across major Australian airlines have also surged relative to the price of jet fuel in 2025, new analysis from the competition watchdog shows. Virgin Australia cancelled just 1.6% of its flights on average over the year to June, while the Qantas group cancelled 3.2%, or almost one in every 30, of its scheduled flights. Cancellation rates typically average 2.2%, according to an Australian Competition and Consumer Commission report released on Tuesday. Jetstar beat both airlines in the month of June, cancelling just 1.1% of flights. Sign up: AU Breaking News email The Canberra-Sydney flight route has seen above-average cancellations, hitting 12% in June, or nearly 15% for the Qantas group and half that for Virgin-leased Link services. 'The airlines have cited poor weather, including strong winds in Sydney and fog in Canberra,' the ACCC report read. In a statement to Guardian Australia, Qantas said: 'We have had the most on time flights of the major domestic airlines for the past year, but our cancellation rate has been higher than it should be'. 'We have a number of initiatives in place to improve our operational performance.' Cancellations across the industry have declined since 2023, as have late arrivals, which fell to a three-year low of less than 18%. Just 15.2% of Virgin flights were late in May, the lowest proportion for any major airline since monitoring began in 2022, though that picked up to 20.4% in June, just higher than Qantas's 19.6%. While airline performance has improved, prices for customers have risen, the ACCC found. Average air fares were much higher in April 2025 than the same month in 2024, even after adjusting for inflation, as back-to-back public holidays saw demand surge. Airlines also raked in more revenue per passenger in June 2025 than they did in June 2024, despite downward pressure on operating costs from falling jet fuel prices, the ACCC said. At the same time, airlines were flying 172,000 fewer seats across Australia in June than they had been in 2019, even though customer demand has returned to pre-pandemic levels. Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion 'This has likely resulted in people paying more to fly than they would have otherwise,' the watchdog's report read. Customers may have tried to manage rising costs by using airline loyalty points but the ACCC warned the frequent flyer programs may not deliver value and could push consumers to spend more than they otherwise would. 'Consumers need to weigh the potential benefits of frequent flyer points which may lose value, expire, or be difficult to redeem against the upfront cost of the flight,' the ACCC's report read. Frequent flyer programs represented nearly a quarter of both Qantas's and Virgin's underlying earnings in 2023-24, respectively $511m and $115m. Qantas in August devalued points for its frequent flyers. Last year the federal court told Qantas to pay a $100m penalty for selling thousands of tickets for flights it had already decided to cancel. In some cases, air fares were offered for up to 62 days after Qantas had decided to cancel a flight, the airline conceded.

Is AI going to steal your job? Not if you work in cleaning, construction or hospitality, Australian report finds
Want an AI-proof job? Rethink your plans to pursue a career in book keeping, marketing or programming and consider instead a job in nursing, construction or hospitality. In a major new report, Jobs and Skills Australia modelled the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce, and found reasons to be optimistic about the future for workers in a world transformed by AI. The JSA's commissioner, Barney Glover, said the doomsday predictions about the end of work as we know it are overblown. Still, the impact will be huge. 'The overarching message is that almost all occupations will be augmented by AI. It doesn't make a difference which sector you are in, or at what skill level: you will be influenced by AI,' Glover said. Sign up: AU Breaking News email In the most comprehensive research of its kind in Australia, the JSA assessed occupations according to what degree the tasks could be automated or augmented by artificial intelligence. 'Many clerical tasks – that were not affected by previous waves of automation – could now be undertaken in large part by Gen AI,' the report found. It then modelled future employment growth across occupations out to the middle of the century, and compared those forecasts to a world with no AI. The report found office clerks, receptionists, bookkeepers, sales, marketing and public relations professionals, business and systems analysts and programmers would lose the most employment by 2050. In contrast, the occupations where employment would gain the most were cleaners and laundry workers, public administration and safety, business administration managers, construction and mining labourers, and hospitality workers. But a key finding of the report was that AI was much more likely to change, rather than replace, work. 'Nearly half of all workers are currently in occupations with low automation and medium augmentation scores, suggesting the occupation would more likely experience change rather than disruption,' the report said. JSA modelled employment growth in three scenarios where AI is adopted and embedded at different rates between now and 2050. It found that AI would lead to slower employment growth through the 2030s, but faster growth through the next decade. In all three scenarios, there were more Australian jobs by 2050 in a world with AI, than without. The analysis 'suggests we may not see the most significant employment effects for a decade, which could accord with the time taken for deeper adoption and related structural changes,' the report said. While the adoption of AI remains in its very early stages, some jobs have already been devastated by the introduction of the economy. Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion The JSA said it had heard about the 'significant' drop in work for voice actors thanks to GenAI, with one talent agency telling the commission that demand for narration for content videos had collapsed by 80%. There are reports that employers are rolling out AI to complete the low level tasks that once would have been the domain of university graduates, although there is not yet widespread evidence of the phenomenon. Big businesses are embracing AI, with an impact on workers. CBA recently axed dozens of call centre jobs, replacing them with chatbots. In May, Telstra's chief executive officer, Vicki Brady, said 'AI efficiencies' would allow it to shrink its workforce by 2030, although the telco giant denied that last month's announcement of 550 job cuts was the result of the technology. Given the rapid evolution of AI, Glover said there was a 'sense of urgency' when it came to taking steps now to give Australians of all ages the tools and skills they needed to thrive in an AI-augmented workplace. He said it would require a 'national leadership framework', led by the commonwealth and including all levels of government. 'Let's make sure the education and training sector is geared up for this and ready. AI is a foundational skill now – everyone is going to be some form of 'prompt engineer'. 'We want to future proof our young people, so let's give them the skills they need. 'We need the cognitive and critical thinking skills. That's why it's critical to support the humanities and social sciences, which have developed these critical thinking skills over centuries.' Glover agreed with the ACTU that there was a 'strong argument' that employers should work with their staff in 'co-designing' the implementation of AI in the workplace. 'The very best way to get the very best outcome for workers and employers is to bring workers in. This has got to be a positive way of moving forward. 'We don't touch on it in our report, but these are things the economic roundtable [next week] can debate and I hope they do.'

Northern county makes Airbnb list of top trending beach destinations in the world
WITH summer in full swing, holidaymakers are flocking to the beaches to make the most of the sun. Airbnb has revealed the trending beach destinations around the world, with the Northumberland coastline making the cut. 8 8 The northern county of Northumberland has been getting lots of attention over the summer, with plenty of pretty beaches that are usually less busy than those in the south. Airbnb said: "Northumberland is drawing more summer visitors, with searches up over 50 per cent this summer, thanks to its pristine North Atlantic beaches." One beach that's been highlighted as a must-see is Embleton Bay. It sits on the edge of the North Sea to the east of the village of Embleton. The bay has a long stretch of golden sands, cool water and it's overlooked by the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. Lots of visitors stumble across the bay and are stunned by it's beauty, one wrote on Tripadvisor: "We thought we had seen all the best beaches in Northumberland but Embleton Bay wowed us the most! "Crystal clear waters, fabulous views of Dunstanburgh Castle and acres of perfect sand and even though weather was fantastic we had the beach practically to ourselves." Another said the bay was one of Northumberland's "best kept secrets". Near Embleton Bay is a pub that has previously held the title of 'best beach bar in the UK' - it's called the Ship Inn in Low Newton-by-the-Sea. It once claimed top spot in a list of the best beach pubs in the country put together by Conde Nast Traveller. Exploring the UK's Hidden Coastal Gems 8 8 The publication said: "Low Newton-by-the-Sea is one of the prettiest spots on the Northumberland coast. "The tiny pub sits in the middle of a horseshoe of whitewashed cottages set around a village green where a cluster of trestle tables face the sea." The seaside town of Bamburgh also go a mention, and it has been dubbed the best seaside town of 2025 according to Which?. Other favourites spots along the Northumberland coastline include Alnmouth, Beadnell Bay, and Druridge Bay. Here are some of our own favourite spots across Northumberland... Newbiggin-by-the-Sea Sun writer Kevin Donald took a trip to Newbiggin-by-the-Sea - one of Britain's most budget-friendly seaside resorts. He discovered bargain places to grab a bite too like The Coble pub and Caffe Bertorelli where you can pick up a cheap ice cream. During his trip, one local said he wasn't surprised more people were visiting, he added: "The beach is stunning and there are loads of nice shops and pubs and cafes to visit but for me, the best thing about the place is the people. "They are so friendly and welcoming here that you can't help but fall for the place, it has a lovely community atmosphere." 8 Lindisfarne Sun writer Matt Dathan visited the town of Lindisfarne also know as Holy Island. The tidal island is a two square mile island and can only be accessed for around five hours a day. It looks so other-worldly that Matt said he felt as if he were leaving England. There he discovered ruins of a monastery and Lindisfarne Castle which he said has incredible views — and even includes a toilet that claims to be the 'best loo with a view'. 8 Spittal Sun writer Jenny Green took a trip up to Northumberland 's Berwick-upon-Tweed, three miles from the Scottish border. She was spoiled for choice for doggy beach walks, as there's 30 miles of beaches in Northumberland and lots are dog-friendly all year round. Her favourites spots were Alnmouth Bay where if you're lucky, you can see dolphins and whales swimming just off the coast and Bamburgh Beach which she described as looking like "something out of Game of Thrones". She also recommended checking out the quirky shops around the market towns, including one called Barter Books in Alnwick, which is a second-hand store housed in an old railway station. Other popular beach destinations that Airbnb said are on the rise include Conil de la Frontera in Spain where one Sun travel writer went a few years ago. The Spanish hotspot goes mostly unnoticed by British holiday makers, but our writer discovered pretty beaches with bars and pretty town squares. 8 The seaside town of Conil de la Frontera is known for its part in the tuna fishing industry - so there's plenty of tasty seafood dishes to try. Palermo is the capital of the Italian island of Sicily and has become another trending beach destination. Hossegor in France also known as "the surfing capital of Europe" is rising in popularity. It has plenty of beautiful beaches as well as places to shop and dine. Plus, discover the UK's sunniest beach town that feels like going back in time has 'no arcades' and barely any rain. 8
