An Airplane Pocket tray cover to avoid dipping your hand into the abyss that is a seatback pocket. This conveniently slides over an airplane tray to hold everything from passports and chargers to laptops and paperbacks. It also prevents that panic of "did I leave my passport behind?" that I personally feel every single time I step off an airplane.
A Bluetooth adapter, because we all know that in-flight complimentary headphones are all but useless. This clever device lets you listen to new movies (*watches Harry Potter for the 90th time*) from the comfort of your own headphones.
Promising review: "Got this for my trip. Works perfectly on the listed aircraft. Paired up with my Bose QC earbuds on the first attempt. Lasted for a 15- and then 6-hour flight without recharging. If I were to lose this, I would buy it again without hesitation. A product that actually works as advertised. Would buy again." —TomPrice: $34.99 (available in four colors)
A portable stand to transform your tray table into a personal movie theatre. Download some movies onto your phone or tablet, prop 'em on this thing, and BAM! Just break out some snacks, and the discomfort of traveling will be completely forgotten.
Promising review: "This was one of the many products I bought for our international flight that my husband said I didn't need… well, during our 17-hour flight (the second flight out of six), he took my phone holder after his arms got tired binge-watching his show. Then I got to gloat in his face that I made a smart purchase! I'm taking this phone holder on every vacation we have! I love that you can also swivel the angle of the phone to adjust if the seat in front of you is reclined or not." —chrissy yoshidaPrice: $12.29
A foot hammock so you can truly ~kick your feet up~ and relax, promoting circulation and helping you feel less cramped in your tiny seat. (We'll get booked on business class one day. I promise.)
Promising review: "I was on a LONG international flight and this was a lifesaver. There was plenty of room for my feet, and having it allowed me to adjust my leg position often. It was easy to pack and carry, taking up virtually no space in my bag." —Gilles R. ChiassonPrice: $14.99 (also available in multipacks)
A plush blanket and pillow combo that's not a pain to pack thanks to a compact case with a trolley sleeve that slips over suitcase handle with ease.
Promising review: "Took this on an 11-hour international flight. It's lightweight to carry but warm enough for a plane. So glad I had this with me. It's also very easy to pack up." —Samuel HoultPrice: $29.95 (available in six colors)
Wireless sleep headphones because there's nothing worse than resting your head on your hand and lodging your earbuds all the way back into your eardrums. This seamless headband is both painless and plays white noise or your favorite music.
A memory foam seat cushion with an ergonomic design and gel layer that prevents bad posture and provides ultimate support. If your tush tends to hurt after a mere three seconds of sitting, this will take your long flight from "this is taking forever" to "wow, these last 13 hours breezed by."
Promising review: "From the instant I sat on this, I knew this was the correct purchase for relief. Two days after I received my cushion, we flew from Ontario, California, to Dallas, and then to London. I can honestly say that I would not have been able to make those flights due to my discomfort. I used it on each excursion we made in the 14 days of travel." —Bob B. Price: $36.76+ (available in three colors)
A foot rest especially adored by families traveling with little ones — this inflatable foot rest allows you to make the most of that extra floor space.
Promising review: "We had the bulkhead bassinet seats for our flight to Europe. This footrest was amazing! My husband and I were able to completely sprawl out and sleep. If you're on the fence, I'd say just buy it. The footrest takes pressure not just off your feet but off your hips, so after the long-haul flight, we both felt rested and fresh. We won't be traveling long haul without them!" —Jennifer PearsonPrice: $24.99
An inflatable wedge pillow you can slip on over your hands for deep sleep that feels genuinely restful (no small feat amidst turbulence). Prop open your tray table, rest your hands, then rest your head. *falls asleep immediately*
A luggage strap for folks who avoid bringing a slew of necessities (neck pillows, light jackets, the wide-brim hat you specifically bought for a sunny trip but never pack, etc.) for the sake of easy transport.
Disposable silicone earplugs because ear pain during air travel is REAL, and babies have every reason to cry because of it. Just saying.
Promising review: "A friend told me about these when I ruptured my eardrum a few days before I had to fly. I was expecting immense pain from my not-nearly-healed ear during takeoff and landing, but with these, I didn't feel the slightest additional discomfort." —Kathleen M.Price: $17.40
A carry-on friendly portable espresso maker, if the coffee carts at the hotel chains your corporation approves budget for are a far cry from the caffeine you want to drink in the morning. This ensures a delicious cup of joe, always.
A travel drink caddy if wheeling across terminals with your carry-on and (as the airlines dub it) your personal item (aka your purse) has led to several an airport Starbucks drink being spilled. This props iced coffee and water bottles upright so you can pull out your boarding pass with ease.
Promising review: "This is an amazing travel accessory! When you are trying to juggle your hot beverage with a water bottle, your phone, and a boarding pass, this is a handy, easily stashable uni-tasker to have. Fits perfectly on my carry-on bag and larger rolling bags as well." —PiratePrice: $14.99+ (available in 11 colors)
Anti-nausea ginger gum perfect for pregnancy morning sickness *or* long plane trips and train rides. Avoiding having to ask your seatmate to move so you can run to the bathroom is as easy as one, two, chew.
"I originally bought this gum for a getaway that I knew included a road trip because I get carsick on long drives and didn't want to become a miserable little gnat as a result. Let me tell you, this gum saved not only me but also almost everyone on my trip. Whenever someone started feeling nauseated, they just popped a piece of gum in their mouth and felt relief within minutes. The ginger taste is light, but it's still effective. It's actually really yummy! I can't imagine how many times we would've had to pull over so someone could get some fresh air or even throw up during our almost five-hour drive had I not brought this gum along." —former BuzzFeeder Jasmin SuknananPrice: $7.99
An anti-theft belt currently moonlighting as a fashion accessory to help hold up your mid-rise jeans when, in fact, it functions as a secret purse. This is actually equipped with a "secret" wallet for storing valuables whilst walking through a new city.
Promising review: "I purchased this for a trip to Cuba, where I needed to carry all of the money I needed for that week in cash. Although I am not typically worried/normally cautious when traveling, the idea of carrying that much cash on me made me nervous. Traditional money belts/fanny packs just didn't seem like a fit for me. I was worried they would become uncomfortable in the hot sun. This security belt was perfect. It allowed us to carry most of their money for the trip hidden within the belt, and carry in my purse the money I needed for that day. It also worked like a breeze with no issues getting through security. I'm not sure how much I'll use this in the future, but it was perfect for our needs for a trip to Cuba." —fendiPrice: $15.99
A contoured sleep mask, because — and gird your loins here — plane naps CAN be good. This helps alleviate pressure and prevents any light from ruining your snooze, plus the seamless elastic means it won't snag your hair in the process.
Promising review: "I've tried many sleep masks, but this is the only one I like. The foam around the eye sockets is soft and covered with soft material that forms a seal around my eye sockets. This makes it very comfortable and shields out any light, even if I want to take a nap during the day! I have been able to regulate my sleep better because I put it on when I want to sleep, and I am not awakened by light until I want to be. I usually stay up until at least midnight and wake up the minute the sun comes out, but I've been able to sleep many hours more than usual. This is THE ONLY mask I give as a gift, and the recipients tell me they have gotten the same response — longer sleep in the morning. Excellent buy!" —FanceyfootworkPrice: $21.99 (available in four colors)
A travel tray perfect for any accompanying kiddos. This collapsible accessory is equipped with a detachable cup holder, iPad viewing stand for Cocomelon marathons, side storage pockets for toys and other knick-knacks, plus a dry erase drawing surface base.
Promising review: "The perfect addition to our road trip! We were constantly battling with dropped snacks, toys, etc. My kiddo loved the compartments to hold everything, and the dry erase board was such a bonus! I love how well the removable pieces cling on, it's not your typical Velcro, much stronger and doesn't seem like it will wear down over time." —ARose Price: $28.99
A digital luggage scale — all I can say is that it's worth the $10 if you're prone to overpacking and have, on more than one occasion, been forced to pay an additional $100 luggage fee.
Promising review: "This luggage scale is so handy and is great for weighing your luggage. I was a little concerned before I got it because I wasn't sure how accurate it would be. When I used it when I went on vacation, it was dead on to what the airport said, so I highly recommend this. Plus, it's easy to pack in your bags." —Teresa DanielsPrice: $10.99
Luggage tags available in a bunch of vibrant, distinguishable colors that make spotting your suitcase at baggage claim into a no-fuss breeze.
Promising review: "Bought these for a trip across the country (I went through five airports) and these made it easy to identify my suitcase at baggage claim. Happy with the quality for money spent!" —AnnMarie JohnstonPrice: $9.99 (available in 19 colors)
A large travel wallet because there is NOTHING WORSE than losing a connecting boarding pass while on a plane. Is it underneath your seat? In the carry-on you stored in the overhead compartment? Did you drop it en route to the plane? I don't know, I'm tired, just get this and save yourself the potential headache.
The wallet has a passport pocket, a boarding pass compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, slim pockets, a ticket slot, a cellphone pouch, a coin zippered pocket, a key holder, and a pen holder.Promising review: "I absolutely love this wallet. I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! I can fit my boarding pass, passport, ID, credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, and more in it, yet it doesn't bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. It's just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese yen (¥), which are larger. I didn't use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend it to anyone who travels a lot!" —Anthony LuuPrice: $11.99 (available in 39 colors)
Silicone travel bottles because — regardless of whether you're staying in a 10-person hostel or a 5-star resort — complimentary shampoo is almost exclusively trash. These bottles come with pre-printed labels that allow you to bring your favorite hair and body products along for the trip.
And it comes with a handy, clear zipper pouch!Promising review: "Just took a trip to the Dominican Republic and used carry-on luggage only throughout the entire trip, never once was questioned about the size. The bag they are in seems thin, but it worked great to put bottles back in, as well as some smaller items fit in the bag too, like lip gloss, mascara, and such. The holes are big enough to get your product into the bottles without any complications. My fiancé and I had plenty of shampoo, conditioner, sunblock, and lotion for seven days. Highly recommend these bottles, they are perfect for carry-ons!!" —Stephanie MillerPrice: $11.99+ (for a set of three; available in a variety of sizes)
Compression socks to help keep your feet from swelling up. TLDR: These can help prevent leg soreness, cramping, *and* use a moisture-wicking fabric.
Read more about compression socks and long flights at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I've been wearing compression socks to work for years and loved them, but these are the first pairs of compression socks I've tried for running. I had been having some leg cramping on my long runs, so I decided to try them and will never go back to short athletic socks again. I love the lack of fatigue I get from the pressure of these socks and the decrease in post-run pain. I will be wearing these when I cross the finish line at my first marathon this October!" —jamerz82Price: $6.95+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 11 colors)
Neoprene handle wraps available in fluorescent colors you can hypothetically spot from space. Or at the very least, you can spot them from baggage claim.
Promising review: "These are great! It was very easy to spot my bag at the baggage claim thanks to these handle covers and the coordinating luggage tags. I also appreciated that the comfortable handle made it easier to schlep my bag in and out of the car!" —RiverSongPrice: $9.99 (available in 11 colors)
BPA-free covers if you've gotten into the habit of flinging your toothbrush into your foundation-covered makeup bag and calling it a day. When you think about it: ew. This tiny doodad keeps grime off the bristles that are intended to disinfect your mouth.
Promising review: "Fits my double brush electronic toothbrush perfectly. Cleans easily. A perfect accessory for the health and cleanliness of the toothbrush. Great idea; and I like the way they look." —a l brock Price: $12.99
Packing cubes capable of helping you fit your entire 👏 friggin' 👏 wardrobe 👏 inside your carry-on. Plus, they keeps everything lookin' niiiiice and neat.
Promising review: "I am officially sold on packing cubes!! These things are amazing! I can believe I've been packing without them my whole life. The mesh lining allows you to peek inside, and I was able to pack all my clothes, shoes, and toiletries for a 10-day trip to Europe (full contents listed below). I packed them as I normally would first, and then packed them in the packing cubes. There was SO much more room in my luggage after packing everything in the cubes! Items I fit in the cubes and bag include two jackets, one jean vest, four pants/capris, two pairs of shorts, one romper, four dresses, one maxi skirt, seven tank tops, four shirts, three camisoles, three pajama sets, 15 undies, six pairs of socks, and four pairs of shoes. But why are you still reading?? Go buy these cubes!" —Tiffany Price: $22.99 (available in eight colors)
A TSA-approved transparent organizer so you don't have to fish around your suitcase for liquids (and then stuff them in a clear baggy) when going through airport security. Flying is nerve-wracking enough. Let's not be panicking about whether or not our favorite moisturizer will be unjustly confiscated.
Promising review: "I am a flight attendant, and this case is perfect for all my international flights that require going through security. Plus, I love the handle. It makes it easy to pull out of my suitcase!" —Krissti Price: $12.86 (available in nine colors)
Cable ties because tangled charging cords and headphones are the second most frustrating thing on the planet. (Forgetting said charging cords and headphones at home is #1.)
These cable ties are also great for when you're NOT traveling!Promising review: "I used the different colors to help sort and organize the cords we were bringing on our trip, and I love that you can leave them on and just wrap them back up when you are ready!" —Shelby S. Price: $6.99 (for a pack of 20)
