Because if a crossword book can make your trip even 1% better, it'll be worth it. 1. A Kindle E-reader so you can bring a ton of books with you without any bulk to speak of. Don't feel like reading your literary fiction? Switch to your beach read. Your seat neighbor isn't judging. Target 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!" — Mamaoffour 2. A laptop backpack with a trolly sleeve if you're in search of the most versatile personal item out there. If you need to access your computer in-flight, look no further than this beauty. Target Promising review:"I got this bag as my new travel backpack/carry-on.

A New York Times crossword book choc-full of entertaining puzzles if you want to use your flight time to get away from screens for once. This book is the easiest of the collection, and I still find it to be a nice challenge! 4. 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. Target Promising review:"After going through too many wireless earbuds to name, costing me so much money, I decided to follow the trend of the tried and true wired buds. The sound quality is great and the price even better." — aj 5. A ruled hardcover Moleskine notebook to use as a travel journal. I love writing small daily entries whenever I'm on a trip, but I hate lugging around enormous journals. This one is slim, easy to carry, high-quality, and always in my carry-on. Target 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!" — Kimbe 6. 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! Target FYI, depending on your situation, water may be enough to rehydrate you!

Nothing worse than discovering your airplane tray is mysteriously sticky. Target Promising review:"These are perfect for travel!

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. Target 11. A 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]. Target Promising review:"I chose the lilac color. Took a little getting used to this pillow as it is my first, but I will never travel without it again. Love the texture of the beads filling. It made traveling comfortable. Arrived quickly and simply packaged." — Ain 12. 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. 13. A Frenshe by Ashley Tisdale cashmere vanilla-scented body serum stick infused with magnesium and squalane to add a dose of moisture to any patches that start to feel a little dry or itchy in midair. Love some good mid-flight self-care, and if Sharpay from High School Musical makes it, consider it in my bag already. Target Promising review:"I've only had this for less than 24 hours and I already know this is a game changer for me! I carry so much tension on my neck/shoulder area and I feel immediate relief after applying this! And it smells so delicious!" — agf99 14. A pair of ultra-soft high-rise leggings so you can twist, turn, and cross your legs with ease and without a waistband digging into your belly. Ouch! Target Promising review: 'Literally the best leggings I've purchased. I bought the black and the brown! I am so happy I did. I've never felt so comfortable and confident. Please make more colors!' — Tab Pannell 15. A mini bottle of hand sanitizer spray because the fact is you're gonna be exposed to a lot of germs on your travels. Give yourself a little spritz before digging into that free bag of mini pretzels. Target Promising review: "The smell is AWESOME! I love the scent; it's not overwhelming, my kiddo loves it, and the spray makes it easy to take on the go and keep in our bags. We will be bringing these everywhere to keep hands clean when we can't wash them!" — Sam 16. A pair of compression socks to help keep swelling at bay, a huge setback and discomfort during long-haul flights.

Target Read more about compression socks and swelling on long flights at Cleveland Clinic.

This set is a must-have for any traveler and makes a great gift too." — Amandatwilight 18. An AirFly adapter so you can connect your Bluetooth headphones *right* to the in-flight entertainment for the highest quality sound without a wire in sight. Your fiftieth viewing of Paddington 2 is gonna be your best yet. 19. 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! Target 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!" — Taryn 20. 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. Target Promising review: " Great color. I have two, and I love the fit. Looks like a big name brand sweatshirt for less cost." — Lynn325 21. A travel-size Evian facial spray for keeping that gorgeous face of yours nice and hydrated from liftoff to touchdown.

I highly recommend it!" — KT 23. 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. Target 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!" — Morgan Price: $17.69 for a set of two 24. 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.

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. Target 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." — M Price: $71.99 (originally $89.99, available in five colors) The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.
