25 Target Products To Make Your Flight More Enjoyable
Promising review: "I love physical books, but as a working mom of four (one being a baby), I wanted something I could throw into my bag and go. It's compact and charged well. I absolutely love my new Kindle. I'm on my fifth book this week!" —MamaoffourPrice: $109.99 (available in two colors)

Some classic Apple EarPods that are minuscule to store when you're not using them, don't require charging, and don't break the bank. I'm a believer that these classics are underrated, especially when it comes to traveling light.

Promising review: "I've been looking for something to put all my writing in, and this book is awesome! The quality of the paper and the lines aren't that close, and it allows you so much room per page. Will buy again!" —KimbePrice: $24.99 (available in six colors and three page styles)
Some strawberry lemonade flavored Liquid IV so you can pack a little more hydration into the water you bring onboard. Getting up to go to the bathroom on a flight is the worst. Make the most of the liquid you decide to drink!
FYI, depending on your situation, water may be enough to rehydrate you! Read more about electrolyte-enhanced drinks and hydration at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I've had nearly all LIV flavors and this is my fave. A little less sweet than the regular strawberry, but still overall sweet with a slight saltiness. Doesn't taste artificial. Perfect for a hot day or before/after working out." —rashifflerPrice: $16.19 for a pack of 10
A small pack of disinfecting wipes to give you peace of mind when using high-touch surfaces away from home. Nothing worse than discovering your airplane tray is mysteriously sticky.

A silk eye mask if you're bothered by light but still want to try to get some shut-eye before you reach your destination. And that silk will keep so nice against your skin. Ahhhh, soft.

An E.l.f. lip mask formulated with hyaluronic acid, squalane, and castor seed oil to keep your pout feeling its best, even if your seat neighbor's little air thing is pointed right at you.
Promising review: "This lip mask is amazing I put it on every night before bed and wake up with bigger lips, it's not that huge of a difference once you begin and even when you get in a good routine with it but it's pretty amazing because that's not what the product is for." —LydiaPrice: $7
A memory foam travel neck pillow — classic! Rest your head, take a little nap, and when you wake up you'll be in [insert your dream destination here].

An AirTag so you can track your luggage juuuuust in case it gets lost. No more looking out the window watching the airline workers load suitcases on the flight, praying yours makes it on.

A pair of compression socks to help keep swelling at bay, a huge setback and discomfort during long-haul flights. Now when you land you can immediately run right to the street, yell "Taxi!," and be whisked right to the city, head sticking out of the window grinning. That's how things still work, right?
Read more about compression socks and swelling on long flights at Cleveland Clinic.

A Takeya water bottle with a fold-down straw whose small 18-ounce size is perfect for tossing in a carry-on. It's not gonna take up too much space or be too heavy, but you will have a nice serving of water to dip into whenever you need it. Balance, people!
Promising review: "My husband and I received these as a gift for our wedding. I was hesitant at first because I'm picky about water bottles. BUT...I now use mine almost every day. I took my daughter to pick out a new water bottle for school, and she picked the Takeya with a straw. She was nervous it would be hard to suck through, but it's not! We all love ours from the handle to the grip bottom!" —TarynPrice: $28.99
A fleece half-zip pullover so you have the perfect spare layer to bring along. Being trapped on an ice-cold plane knowing you have four more hours of frost is the definition of h-e-double-hockey-sticks.
Promising review: "Great color. I have two, and I love the fit. Looks like a big name brand sweatshirt for less cost." —Lynn325Price: $25 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and four colors)
A travel-size Evian facial spray for keeping that gorgeous face of yours nice and hydrated from liftoff to touchdown. All the better if you're traveling somewhere dry and can use it there, too.
Promising review: "This is my favorite facial mist to apply before serums. I've tried lots of expensive ones and always come back to this one. It doesn't have any harsh ingredients, it's all-natural, it's truly for all skin types, and it's affordable. I highly recommend it!" —KTPrice: $10.39+ (available in three sizes)
A small bottle of CeraVe Moisturizing Cream so you can have access to your favorite moisturizer during your long, drying flight! Ack, that plane air always really gets to me.
Promising review: "I have severe patchy dry skin. I've used higher end stuff and nothing worked and some cheaper end stuff that people swore by. Dermatologist stated to use this and it really works. My skin is 80% better. I still fight with dry skin as I've only used a few days, but it has been the best by far for my super dry skin." —BrittPrice: $7.69+ (available in four sizes)
A pair of Stasher reusable silicone travel bags to keep all those extra travel bits and bobs stored safely in your carry-on. I vote you use one for tech and one for cosmetics.
Promising review: "I recently used these to store small hair accessories and toiletries on a vacation, and they worked out great. I plan to also use them for small snacks, but the possibilities of what you can use them for are really endless. They are very durable, and I believe they will be long-lasting. Great alternative to plastic bags. I highly recommend these and all of the other sizes they offer!" —MorganPrice: $17.69 for a set of two
A pair of Bose noise-canceling headphones so you don't have to blast your headphones to hear your podcast over the plane's engine. With an adjustable noise-cancelling level and up to 24 hours of playback, these are a worthy investment for your travels and for your everyday life.
Promising review: "I love the color. I love how comfortable they feel. They really block out background noise." —GagaPrice: $249.99 (originally $349.99, available in four colors)
An expandable hard-shell carry-on suitcase with four spinner wheels and a built-in lock to bring your luggage firmly into adulthood with you. RIP, soccer camp duffel bag. You will not be forgotten.
Promising review: "We have had two of these bags for the last 10 years. It's a great bag. Perfect as a carry-on and fits at least two weeks' worth of clothing in it. We are an airline family; therefore, we fly standby, so checking in bags gets tricky. My older son's bag is now showing some signs of wear. I have been looking at new bags, but I can't find anything that will accommodate as much as this one." —MPrice: $89.99 (available in six colors)

29 Genius Travel Products For Chronic Overpackers
A digital luggage scale that'll squash *any* anxiety that your bag is too heavy. Now you don't have to worry about forking over more money (for that big overweight bag fee) or ripping open your suitcase in front of everyone — with this, you can avoid both! A packing checklist to keep you focused on all the things you actually need (socks, toothpaste, etc) so you don't panic stuff 10 pairs of jeans you can't possibly wear on your trip. You'll save space in your suitcase *and* not have to buy any forgotten toiletries from a local CVS or Walgreens — that's money best saved for sweet treats, souvenirs, and spontaneous activities. A flying USB port with four plug-ins for your phone, smartwatch, headphones, and other ~essential~ tech items, so you don't have to pack four charging cubes — only one! It'll also come in clutch for that one USB plug-in on airplane TVs — you'll charge four times the amount of things, all thanks to this little (and adorable) gadget! A set of packing cubes to help compress your million outfit changes (which are essential) so you don't struggle when zipping your suitcase shut. You'll fit all of your favorite tops *and* have them all nice and organized, so unpacking is quick 'n' easy. Or a pack of vacuum-free space-saving compression bags that can squish out all the air once it's been stuffed — aka you'll be able to fit so much more. One reviewer said a small bag was able to fit six t-shirts, seven pairs of shorts, and four boxers! So, a set of these will easily fit your week's worth of clothing at that rate. A 2-in-1 hair tool capable of curling *and* straightening so you don't have to jam in multiple hot tools to achieve all of the hairstyles you want on your trip — especially when you already have to sit on your suitcase to zip it up. A foldable jewelry organizer if you bling yourself out to the max while on vacay (each day is a new opportunity to accessorize!) without bringing a bulky jewelry box. This will compactly fit, organize, and protect your endless array of rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces while on the move. So bring those three sets of hoops! I can *also* tell they're all different — even if your partner can't. A Hackwith Design House shirt to help cut down on a couple of tops you have to pack since you can style it six different ways. You'll sneakily outfit repeat *and* save room in your bag in the process! A *mini* Kindle that's super lightweight, the same size as your bag of chips, and somehow fits your entire reading list in one sleek little gadget. With a glare-free screen that reads like real paper (even under blazing sun) and a battery that lasts up to six weeks, it's perfect for beach days, long flights, train rides, or pretending to read while people-watching in Paris. No Wi-Fi? No problem, you can download books before takeoff and get lost in them at 30,000 feet. A surprisingly roomy toiletry bag capable of fitting enough beauty products to rival a Real Housewife's glam squad team. You won't believe how much this fits — it's the same size as other toiletry bags, but the clamshell design and generous pockets make it wayyy more efficient. A Subtl Beauty Stack that packs a whopping five products (concealer! bronzer! highlighter! shine control powder! lip and cheek cream!) into one tiny compact. That means you can use alllll that leftover space in your toiletry bag for every single shade of lipstick you can't bear to leave at home — I know, I know, all your vacay outfits need their own complementary lippie! And bonus: reviewers love the pigmentation and how travel-friendly it is! And, Alleyoop's Pen Pal — a 4-in-1 pen to do your lip liner, brows, eyeliner, *and* highlighter. If your toiletries bag is already overflowing, this can still give you all of your beauty needs while traveling (without taking up precious room). Idk about you, but it's making me nostalgic for my 5-in-1 pen from elementary school. A travel belt for your personal item — aka the bag that holds everything that didn't fit in your carry-on or checked luggage. Just attach it to your suitcase so you don't have to lug around a heavy bag that's making your shoulder sore! A set of small, TSA-compliant Cadence Capsules because travel-sized versions of your favorite products don't exist — and you don't have room for your entire skincare and haircare routine anyway. Not only are these containers aesthetic, but the magnetic sides can help keep them together compactly in your bag. A hands-free portable phone charger so you can easily charge your phone when you find yourself at an overcrowded gate with no open outlets — Oh, the horror!! Well fret not, this compact charger can charge fast — it juices up an iPhone 14 a full 50% in just 30 minutes. Now you can dramatically listen to music as you stare out the plane window during takeoff. And, a *foldable* (and super compact) 3-in-1 magnetic wireless charger capable of juicing up your iPhone, AirPods, and smartwatch all at the same time *and* replacing two of your three chargers. Who needs a plastic bag full of cords when you've got this? A refillable, travel perfume atomizer reviewers say can hold up to a week's worth of product without taking up a ton of space — unlike your clunky bottles (that TSA could trash anyway). And it comes in a pack of three so you can bring multiple scents — 'cause it's not like you want to narrow it down anyways... A super spacious Beis backpack for your overflow of clothes that didn't quite make the cut for your suitcase — now they'll go in your carry-on! It has a padded sleeve for your backpack, a trolly pass-through, and lots of compartments so you can feel extra organized. Plus, it can be fully opened like a suitcase, so packing and finding your things is much easier! Or, a way more affordable travel backpack — it's just as roomy with just as many compartments, BUT it also has a slot for shoes, a wet bag for soiled clothes, *and* a secret compartment for valuables. Now, if you forget to pack your favorite pair of sneakers (after zipping your suitcase shut), you can just throw 'em in here! A comfy Trtl travel pillow with a slimmer and more compact design compared to typical neck pillows. You can easily slip this into your backpack — right next to your haul of snacks from Hudson News — so you can sleep like a baby as you're sky high! Or a neck pillow you can stuff with clothing that's practically designed to fool any gate agent — they won't know you're packing all that extra underwear... side note: why do I always assume I'm gonna 💩 myself every five minutes on a trip... One reviewer was able to pack four shirts, two long sleeves, one yoga pant, six socks, and one bra into this. An adorable on-the-go Gillette razor, your new go-to on trips because it barely takes up any space — *and* it does the same thing your full-sized razor does. You'll have baby-smooth skin in no time! A lightweight, waterproof raincoat that folds up perfectly into a little drawstring pouch, so packing it is easy peasy — unlike the jacket you use at home. If you're always debating between a third outfit option (for dinner, night two) or a jacket, let me just remind you that there's *ALWAYS* a torrential downpour when you don't pack a raincoat. And, a mini travel umbrella capable of squeezing into any nook and cranny left in your bag because it's so small — it can fit in the palm of your hand! Keeping this in your bag will make sure you never return to your hotel a sopping mess again, meaning you won't say "Oh brother" when the clouds turn black. A shoe bag that fits just three pairs to stop you from packing your boundless footwear collection — don't worry, your outfits will still be super cute. Avoiding the urge to pack seven pairs of shoes will make more room for your S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G 'fits. So if (or when) your bag is overstuffed, attach this to the outside of your carry-on using the trolley pass! A sturdy eight-compartment pill organizer to fit any and all of your pill needs in one lightweight container — meaning that you don't have to stuff six different pill bottles into your bag (and possibly get flagged by TSA). A super mini white noise machine because you can't fall asleep without one, especially when you're not in your own bed. This small but mighty device has 15 different nonlooping sounds (from pink noise to waves crashing), and it can last for days at a time off a single charge. And since your carry-on is probably packed to the brim, you can just throw this in your pocket! An itty bitty eye contact lens kit that comes with a mini bottle to keep your solution in, a suction stick, and tweezers. So when you need to take your contacts out while traveling, you can do so easily! It's also got a little cleaner container where you can put each lens in its own separate holder and let them soak in solution. An adorably small steam iron if you packed over 10 different dress shirts for the two nice dinners you're going to. Overstuffing your bag will definitely cause your clothes to get a little wrinkly — especially if you're using vacuum-sealed bags — so this will ~iron~ those out and make them look fresh out the dry cleaner!

Legendary surfer Dale Webster, who surfed every day for 40 years straight, dead at 76
Surfing icon Dale Webster, a California native who set the record for most consecutive days surfing, has died. Webster, also known as the "Daily Wavester" because of the incredible feat, passed away in Rohnert Park, Calif, his family confirmed to the New York Times and other outlets. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON No cause of death was confirmed, but Webster's brother told the outlet that the surfer had been dealing with a decline in health in recent years. Webster was best known for setting the world record in February 2004 when he hit 10,407 consecutive days of surfing. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, that mark consisted of him surfing at least three waves to shore every day. In an interview with SURFER in 2015, Webster told the magazine that the idea for surfing came about from a friend after he had already been on the board every day for more than two months. "There was a solid south swell in September, and I surfed every day during the swell," Webster said at the time. "Each day the waves got better and better. After surfing 85 days straight, my friend said, 'You should try to surf for 100 consecutive days.' When I got to 100, the story was in the local newspaper. That publicity gave me a little pat on the back to make it to a year. So then the challenge became a year. And so forth." Webster began his journey on Sept. 3, 1975, in Bodega Bay, California. By the time he finished, he had surfed 14,642 days consecutively before having to break the record because of a minor medical procedure. That time totaled over 40 years of consecutive surfing. "He was a surfer, that was his main thing, that was his life ambition. I don't think he ever second guessed it," William Beal, a close friend of Webster's, told the SFGate following the news of his passing. "I know he had a lot of good years here when it was not that crowded. I think he had a pretty well-lived life."
