We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · The haters *wish* they had a weighted eye mask as deliciously comfortable as yours. 1. An Airplane Pocket tray cover that slides seamlessly over an airplane tray to create an instant, deeply convenient hub — this comes with a number of pockets so you can keep track of all your devices, snacks, and other odds and ends without rooting around for them in the gross back pocket or your carry-on the whole flight. Bonus: This bb is an excellent way to prevent touching a germ-y tray, and it's fully machine washable. Check out a TikTok of the Airplane Pockets tray table cover in action. Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products. I used this on a roundtrip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves! Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 2. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount designed for use on all airlines — not only can you mount it to the tray table of an airplane seat, but to the arm of a chair or any flat surface, so you'll be able to stream content easy as pie wherever you roam. Reviewers have used it on everything from their car dashboards to carry-on handles to office desks to bedside tables. Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on the go. Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip, and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers." — Earendil Get it from Amazon for $9.78. 3. A sleek, cleverly designed expandable hardside carry-on suitcase that stores flat when you're storing it at home or stashing it in a hotel room, but magically expands to accommodate your things when you're jetsetting. This even comes with a built-in TSA-approved lock and USB/USB-C charging port! Promising review:"Lightweight and compact. This carryon is super sleek, stylish and exactly what I was hoping for. The expandable part is helpful, really small without it but probably perfect for a short weekend trip. One thing I would say is don't try too hard to squeeze things down — if you decide to stuff it, you must keep it expanded. Love the built-in lock system." — Reina Get it from Amazon for $64.99 (available in two colors). 4. A newly-updated AirFly, a handy gadget you can use to connect your wireless headphones to the headphone jacks on flights so you can stream The Fault in Our Stars and bawl thousands of feet in the air again without dealing with the poor quality of the airline's headphones or shelling out $$ for them. Bonus: you can use these to connect to audio jacks on gym equipment and gaming devices, too! Here's what BuzzFeeder Chelsea Stuart has to say about them: "Last year I splurged on some AirPod Maxes and for the amount of money I threw down on them, I was determined to get as much use out of them as possible and that included on plane rides. With the AirFly Pro, I can connect my headphones via Bluetooth and use the seat-back screen without having to fiddle with the free wired headphones they hand out that 1.) have horrible sound quality and 2.) don't fit my ears in the slightest. (I swear my ear canals are tiny or something??)" Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and bought it instantly for an upcoming trip. I wish I knew about this sooner so I could enjoy inflight entertainment without needed additional headphones. This allows for that, which is great. It works so well, my husband bought one as well. Highly recommend." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in three styles and three colors). 5. A brand spanking new 2024 *mini* Kindle — it's faster, it's brighter, and more importantly, it's TEENSIER. The new size makes it easier to fit in the palm of your hand, easier to travel with, and a heck of a lot easier to pack in smaller clutches and purses when you're commuting. It's also glare-free and has a battery life that lasts for up to six weeks on a single charge. Check out a TikTok of the mini Kindle in action. Promising review:"This is such a great Kindle! It's lightweight, the perfect size for going in a purse or bag, and the matcha is SUCH a great color. I already have a Paperwhite SE that I love, so I decided to get this Kindle for travel purposes. The battery life isn't as great as my Paperwhite, but it still lasts me a while with daily reading! It fits perfectly in my hands and makes reading very comfortable. The only thing it is missing is the warm light option, but that is not a deal breaker for me. If you are looking for a lightweight and comfortable Kindle, this is the one for you." — Christine Heath Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in black and matcha, and with or without an ad lock screen). 6. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~. They also feature a 3D contour, so they're hollowed out in the middle and won't rest right on top of your eyes. Amazon Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of ligh t. I love them. I would highly recommend. I'll probably never sleep without them again." — AJ Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.29 (available in seven sets). 7. A set of silicone "EarPlanes" with a twist-on structure to help relieve pressure that hurts your ears during altitude changes during landing and takeoff. Reviewers also swear by these for driving through altitude changes in the mountains and for helping with sinus pressure pain! Promising review:"This product has changed my life. I travel fairly frequently and always have issues with ear pressure on the plane. My ears will be clogged up, and it is painful to swallow for a day or two after short-distance flights. But now, I use these and fly incident-free. You are supposed to insert them before the plane takes off and then before landing. I have found that it works best if I leave them in the entire flight from before takeoff until landing, but they work almost as well if you take them out once you reach cruising altitude." — Thomasina Get it from Amazon for $7.89 (available in multipacks). 8. A durable bag strap gripper that not only keeps you hands-free when you've got extra shopping bags, jackets, and other accessories to cart around, but prevents you from forgetfully LEAVING said items in places where you will simply never see them again. (RIP to that one lost water bottle we're all still mourning.) Amazon Promising review:"I bought two straps to use for my trip. It was so worth it! It held my family's light jackets and kids travel neck pillow. We also used it to hold our water bottles on our hikes. I wish I knew about these sooner!" — Lisa H Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in six colors). 9. A deeply adorable retro-style portable Bluetooth keyboard you can connect to your tablet, phone, or computer to easily type if you're working while traveling (or just want to e-mail everyone about that croissant you just ate). Reviewers especially love the satisfying ~clickety clack~ feel of the keys! Promising review: "I got this keyboard because of its aesthetic. The look did not disappoint. Love it! Super easy to connect to my iPhone and iPad. It makes my typing and note creating on my phone quicker and cuter. I will purchase another for an upcoming friend's birthday. I know she'll love it as well!" — NT Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in nine styles). 10. A hands-free portable phone charger that sticks right onto your phone plug and chills there so easily that you might forget it's there in the first place. This mini charger is designed to give you one full iPhone battery per charge, making it a lifesaver for busy humans, particularly ones who love traveling. Check out a TikTok of the charger in action. Promising review:"I used these several times for the past year, traveling for business and leisure. It is always a challenge to find an outlet at the airport since some airports do not offer a charging station. Using those types can also be a security risk. That's why I love using these portable chargers. They are lightweight and fit in my travel handbag/or small backpack pocket. The portable chargers take about 30–35 minutes to fully charge if dead. Once charged, they charge fast and hold a charge for many hours." — J Get it from Amazon for $13.29+ (available in three colors). 11. Plus a tiny 3-in-1 portable charger you can fold down to the size of a little macaron, but expand to charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at the same time. If you have trips on the horizon or you're a busy human in general, you need to get yourself one of these adorable UFOs, fast. Promising review:"These are fabulous for travel — they charge three devices from just one USB port, especially [helpful] when frequenting hotel rooms. The first one is now permanently stationed bedside to help clean up the clutter, and this will go into my briefcase for future excursions. Compact, and effective!" — see2xu Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in four colors). 12. A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents. Amazon Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Promising review:"Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it's pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it's extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I'm especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what's not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" — Briana R. Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options). 13. An investment-worthy, super-soft Trtl neck pillow designed to support your head while you're snoozing in midair so you don't land in a new city with a new crick in your neck to boot. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Trtl neck pillow in action. Promising review:"Small and sturdy. Keeps your neck positioned up instead of lolling off to the side. You will wake up refreshed and not sore (in the neck anyways) airplane travel is stressful but this little gem makes it bearable. Kudos to the creator! First time I actually slept comfortably on a plane. Other neck sleepers don't compare." — Judy M. Get it from Amazon for $55.99+ (available in four colors). 14. Or an inflatable wedge pillow so you can fully conk out by turning that dead space between you and the chair in front of you into your own personal oasis — this is great for resting your head to watch stuff on your phone and also just for catching some ZZZs. Promising review:"Just received this and so far so good! Inflates within mere seconds, and the same to deflate. Seems really supportive and comfortable. I was influenced by a TikTok review." — Katelyn Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 15. A fully waterproof tricked out travel backpack complete with *deep breath* two laptop sleeves, a shoe compartment, a secret anti-theft pocket, a USB charging port, and a "wet bag" to keep sweaty clothes or liquids away from your tech. Oh, and it's cute as a BUTTON to boot. Who gave this backpack the right to flex on other backpacks this hard??? Promising review:"I recently took a cross-country flight with my three kids. I really didn't want to worry about checked bags getting lost so maximizing our carry-ons was a priority. This backpack fit an unfathomable amount of stuff! Lots of zippers and compartments for everything from shoes to laptops/iPads, easy access compartments for cell phones and boarding passes, I fit tons of neatly folded clothes. The best part was that fully loaded it easily slid under the seat." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $20.39+ (available in five sizes and 40 styles). 16. A digital luggage scale perfect for anyone who likes to play chicken with the weight limits on various airlines. This gizmo will quickly and accurately let you know in pounds *or* kilograms how much your suitcase weighs just by attaching it to the handle and lifting — no clunky floor scales required. Promising review: "I was looking for a lightweight luggage scale to ensure that when returning from vacation, my luggage was not overweight. This works amazing. Super lightweight and extremely accurate." — Taziree Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in six styles and in a two pack). 17. A luggage drink caddy for anyone who considers the Starbucks mermaid a copilot — this sticks right into your wheeled luggage and has two roomy pockets for drinks, water bottles, your snacks, your phone, and whatever else was taking up room in your hands on the go. Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it's my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." — Philip Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in 22 colors). 18. And an attachable luggage table to make an *instant* desk or meal tray in the airport without having to Hunger Games it out for the last sad table at the one open McDonald's in your terminal. Amazon Promising review: "Ingenious. How many times I have been in an airport with nothing to balance anything on, whether it be a computer or coffee? So, I have to hand it to the inventor that they have accomplished something truly useful. I really appreciate the ingenuity." — Anahata Get it from Amazon for $39.95. 19. A lil' snack pouch with a pop of 🌈 to add a little bit of cheer to especially long road trips and cross-country flights. Reviewers love that it keeps their carry-ons a bit more organized and that the clear exterior lets them see which treats they have in store. Sage Nation is a small business specializing in quirky organizational pouches for travel and home use. Promising review: "Lettering is spot on. Love the colors, and the clear bag makes it easy for kids to see what is available. Quality materials and construction." — Lisa Stanko Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 20. And a five-compartment snack spinner that'll prove itself as a flight MVP for anyone with picky eaters — not only does the spin factor make it fun and encourage kids to try a variety of snacks, but this gizmo stays locked in place to avoid messes (and is even dishwasher-safe!). Amazon Check out a TikTok of the snack spinner in action. Promising review:"I bought these before they were on Amazon. I'm obsessed. My kids think it's a game, and they're so intent on eating all the food inside. Even my picky eater. As a mom who absolutely hates to hand wash things, I'm so grateful that a) the entire thing comes apart for washing and b) it's completely dishwasher-safe. This thing is awesome. One of a kind. I own five right now. Will probably be getting more in the future for when the baby is old enough to snack independently." — Jordan Christman Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in seven colors and two sizes). 21. A waterproof family travel document holder for anyone who is traveling in a group — this keeps all your passports, boarding passes, and IDs in one easy place so you don't have to do a whole backpack opening circus every time you get in line at the airport. Promising review:" I took my kids on their first international trip, and this thing was a total lifesaver. It fits easily in a fanny pack or small purse for easy access, and it fits my whole family's passports, vaccine cards, boarding passes, and a pen with plenty of room for cash and cards if you decide to use it as a wallet for your trip. It made getting checked in a breeze and helped my family keep everything organized." — Kevin Garcia Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in five colors). 22. A compact travel cable organizer with two different pocketed compartments to keep your cords, earbuds, and chargers organized and safe — this is waterproof, so even if *you* get waterlogged on a trip or on your way to work, your gadgets and gizmos won't. Amazon Promising review:"This case has been amazing for storing my earbuds, various loose cable connectors, chargers, etc. I am using it right now on a trip, and it has been fantastic for keeping these items in one convenient, organized place. It is lightweight and fits easily into my one carry-on item when boarding the many flights I am taking. I'm pretty sure I will still be using it to keep all these items together and more easy to locate when I return home! I am so glad I bought this!" — V. Elia Get it from Amazon for $9.85+ (available in 19 colors and three sizes). 23. A TSA-friendly Burt's Bees travel pack, aka your new ally against dry air on the plane or in newer climates. This will keep your feet, lips, hands, *and* human body pampered and moisturized while you jet set. Each set includes a hand lotion, body lotion, lip balm, and a foot cream. Promising review:"The foot cream works wonders on the heels. It has a thick consistency and it's a bit greasy, so it may be hard to put on, but it'll be worth it in the end for those baby soft heels. I just put socks on for 15 minutes while I wait for my skin to absorb it. The lotion and lip balm are also great to have for travel, in the office, or in your purse." — Kerrrns Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 24. A fully adjustable Stanley bottle crossbody bag, because hydration is never not the hottest accessory. This sleek, leakproof, double-insulated bottle will keep liquid ice cold or toasty warm for hours, and thanks to this comfy crossbody strap, you can take a sip whenever you want. (No backpack wrangling required!) Amazon Promising review: "It's smaller than I anticipated, but I love that even MORE! It's super slim, lightweight, compact, with all your favorite Stanley cup features. Doesn't leak, easy to drink from. Love the color! Going to be my travel buddy from here on out! Saw it on TikTok — had to get it before it's gone." — ralliereviews Get it from Amazon for $75 (available in 10 styles). 25. A subtle amber reading light that's 99.94% free of blue spectrum light — aka, the light that signals to your brain that it's daytime and keeps you up and attem. Now you can read your book at during the flight further without disrupting your circadian rhythms *or* bugging your neighbors with the harsh overhead. Promising review:"This is a fantastic light! I use it every evening to continue reading while my son sleeps, it does not wake him or impede my sleep after I'm ready to go to bed. Great product." — Brian Masters Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colors). 26. A 4-in-1 flying USB port to condense the tangle of wires next to your bed or desk, whether you're traveling or dreaming of your next trip. This includes a 3.3-foot extension cord so your devices can stay close! Multitasky is a woman-owned small business established in 2020 that specializes in cute, functional gadgets for travel, office, and home use. Promising review:"It does as it says it does, allowing my Dell XPS15 to operate a pair of USB devices from my lightning port! The laptop has two USB ports, one of which is always occupied by my USB mouse dongle and the other by my protected USB drive. If I wanted to plug in my phone to switch data or add another thumb drive to transfer a device, everything might have to be disconnected, but not anymore. It was really worth it." — Liberty Get it from Multitasky for $25 (available in three colors). 27. A chic telescoping portable straw you can use in a pinch whether you're traveling or just really, REALLY don't want to eat soggy straw paper at places that have switched over to environmentally friendly options. Amazon Promising review: "I live in NJ and last year the state limited the use of plastic straws in restaurants, so often our only option is paper straws. I personally dislike the strange taste of paper straws and notice they tend to ruin any carbonation in a drink, so I bought this so I wouldn't have to use those. I keep it clipped onto my bag in it's little case so I always have it with me, and it's easy to wash once I get home. Highly recommend to fellow paper straw haters." — Jordan Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in seven colors and sets). 28. A pack of flight attendant–approved snacking olives with a true ~first class~ vibe, whether you're using them to jazz up the boring airplane meal or to eat with the lil' airplane mini of gin that you asked the flight attendant for within the minute of the baby behind you starting to cry. Amazon Promising review: "I used to be a flight attendant, and these were served on the plane. They are some of the best olives! I can't get them anywhere where I live, so I order them online. I recently went to see my friend (former flight attendant also), and she put them on the charcuterie board she made; everyone at the pool was eating them. Definitely recommend this brand if you like green olives!" — Lex Get a variety pack of 12 from Amazon for $19.92 (also available in four other flavors). 29. And a set of airtight, moisture-proof mini salt and pepper shakers because life is too short for bland food. Now you can have an easy "fix-it" when the airplane food tastes like cardboard. Amazon Signora Ware is a small business that specializes in portable food packaging and containers. Promising review:"These salt and pepper shakers are the perfect size for traveling, camping or going to work in my backpack! No leaks, and they work great. Very happy with this purchase." — Mark Pavey Get it from Amazon for $6.49 (available in three other styles). 30. An airplane footrest, because yes, it IS possible to sit comfortably on a plane — all you have to do is hook this onto the tray table, and boom, instant elevation (and a LOT less foot swelling to deal with post-flight!). Amazon Promising review:"This is a game changer when flying! Immediately takes the pressure off your legs and adds tons of comfort. I used it on an 11-hour red-eye flight for the first time and it was the best experience, aside from being in first class. Highly recommend! Even for short flights." — Isa V. Get it from Amazon for $12.99. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

This water bottle is well designed, holds water well and brings unnecessary attention but it's welcomed 😈. It creates a different drinking experience and it's unique yet awkward design fits in all bags. Even fits in my Vespa perfectly. I want to say the price is a little steep in my opinion, but after weeks of use, I get it." — Aaron V. Get it from Amazon for $60+ (available in two colors and four sizes). 8.

It is always a challenge to find an outlet at the airport since some airports do not offer a charging station. Using those types can also be a security risk.

Lots of zippers and compartments for everything from shoes to laptops/iPads, easy access compartments for cell phones and boarding passes, I fit tons of neatly folded clothes. The best part was that fully loaded it easily slid under the seat." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $22.79+ (available in four sizes and 39 styles). 17.

Will probably be getting more in the future for when the baby is old enough to snack independently." — Jordan Christman Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in six colors and three sizes). 22.

Promising review:"The foot cream works wonders on the heels. It has a thick consistency and it's a bit greasy, so it may be hard to put on, but it'll be worth it in the end for those baby soft heels.

Saw it on TikTok — had to get it before it's gone." — ralliereviews Get it from Amazon for $75 (available in nine styles). 26.

I saw this product on Instagram and knew it would be a game changer. I was able to use it recently for the first time on an early morning flight and let me tell you, it is EVERYTHING I was looking for and more. It's comfy, cozy, oversized and the eye covers make you feel like you're in a whole other world and not packed like a sardine on a plane.

Promising review:"It does as it says it does, allowing my Dell XPS15 to operate a pair of USB devices from my lightning port! The laptop has two USB ports, one of which is always occupied by my USB mouse dongle and the other by my protected USB drive. If I wanted to plug in my phone to switch data or add another thumb drive to transfer a device, everything might have to be disconnected, but not anymore. It was really worth it." — Liberty Get it from Multitasky for $25 (available in three colors). 29. A chic telescoping portable straw you can use in a pinch whether you're traveling or just really, REALLY don't want to eat soggy straw paper at places that have switched over to environmentally friendly options. Amazon Promising review: "I live in NJ and last year the state limited the use of plastic straws in restaurants, so often our only option is paper straws. I personally dislike the strange taste of paper straws and notice they tend to ruin any carbonation in a drink, so I bought this so I wouldn't have to use those. I keep it clipped onto my bag in it's little case so I always have it with me, and it's easy to wash once I get home. Highly recommend to fellow paper straw haters." — Jordan Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors and sets). 30. A pack of flight attendant–approved snacking olives with a true ~first class~ vibe, whether you're using them to jazz up the boring airplane meal or to eat with the lil' airplane mini of gin that you asked the flight attendant for within the minute of the baby behind you starting to cry. Amazon Promising review: "I used to be a flight attendant, and these were served on the plane. They are some of the best olives! I can't get them anywhere where I live, so I order them online. I recently went to see my friend (former flight attendant also), and she put them on the charcuterie board she made; everyone at the pool was eating them. Definitely recommend this brand if you like green olives!" — Lex Get a variety pack of 12 from Amazon for $16.94+ (also available in four other flavors). 31.

Very happy with this purchase." — Mark Pavey Get it from Amazon for $6.49 (available in three other styles). 32. An airplane footrest, because yes, it IS possible to sit comfortably on a plane — all you have to do is hook this onto the tray table, and boom, instant elevation (and a LOT less foot swelling to deal with post-flight!). Amazon Promising review:"This is a game changer when flying! Immediately takes the pressure off your legs and adds tons of comfort. I used it on an 11-hour red-eye flight for the first time and it was the best experience, aside from being in first class. Highly recommend! Even for short flights." — Isa V.

These 31 Products Will Probably Make Anyone You Travel With Jealous
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · The haters *wish* they had a weighted eye mask as deliciously comfortable as yours. 1. An Airplane Pocket tray cover that slides seamlessly over an airplane tray to create an instant, deeply convenient hub — this comes with a number of pockets so you can keep track of all your devices, snacks, and other odds and ends without rooting around for them in the gross back pocket or your carry-on the whole flight. Bonus: This bb is an excellent way to prevent touching a germ-y tray, and it's fully machine washable. Check out a TikTok of the Airplane Pockets tray table cover in action. Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products. I used this on a roundtrip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves! Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 2. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount designed for use on all airlines — not only can you mount it to the tray table of an airplane seat, but to the arm of a chair or any flat surface, so you'll be able to stream content easy as pie wherever you roam. Reviewers have used it on everything from their car dashboards to carry-on handles to office desks to bedside tables. Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on the go. Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip, and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers." — Earendil Get it from Amazon for $9.78. 3. A sleek, cleverly designed expandable hardside carry-on suitcase that stores flat when you're storing it at home or stashing it in a hotel room, but magically expands to accommodate your things when you're jetsetting. This even comes with a built-in TSA-approved lock and USB/USB-C charging port! Promising review:"Lightweight and compact. This carryon is super sleek, stylish and exactly what I was hoping for. The expandable part is helpful, really small without it but probably perfect for a short weekend trip. One thing I would say is don't try too hard to squeeze things down — if you decide to stuff it, you must keep it expanded. Love the built-in lock system." — Reina Get it from Amazon for $122.99+ (available in two colors). 4. A newly-updated AirFly, a handy gadget you can use to connect your wireless headphones to the headphone jacks on flights so you can stream The Fault in Our Stars and bawl thousands of feet in the air again without dealing with the poor quality of the airline's headphones or shelling out $$ for them. Bonus: you can use these to connect to audio jacks on gym equipment and gaming devices, too! Here's what BuzzFeeder Chelsea Stuart has to say about them: "Last year I splurged on some AirPod Maxes and for the amount of money I threw down on them, I was determined to get as much use out of them as possible and that included on plane rides. With the AirFly Pro, I can connect my headphones via Bluetooth and use the seat-back screen without having to fiddle with the free wired headphones they hand out that 1.) have horrible sound quality and 2.) don't fit my ears in the slightest. (I swear my ear canals are tiny or something??)" Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and bought it instantly for an upcoming trip. I wish I knew about this sooner so I could enjoy inflight entertainment without needed additional headphones. This allows for that, which is great. It works so well, my husband bought one as well. Highly recommend." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three styles and three colors). 5. A brand spanking new 2024 *mini* Kindle — it's faster, it's brighter, and more importantly, it's TEENSIER. The new size makes it easier to fit in the palm of your hand, easier to travel with, and a heck of a lot easier to pack in smaller clutches and purses when you're commuting. It's also glare-free and has a battery life that lasts for up to six weeks on a single charge. Check out a TikTok of the mini Kindle in action. Promising review:"This is such a great Kindle! It's lightweight, the perfect size for going in a purse or bag, and the matcha is SUCH a great color. I already have a Paperwhite SE that I love, so I decided to get this Kindle for travel purposes. The battery life isn't as great as my Paperwhite, but it still lasts me a while with daily reading! It fits perfectly in my hands and makes reading very comfortable. The only thing it is missing is the warm light option, but that is not a deal breaker for me. If you are looking for a lightweight and comfortable Kindle, this is the one for you." — Christine Heath Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in black and matcha, and with or without an ad lock screen). 6. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~. They also feature a 3D contour, so they're hollowed out in the middle and won't rest right on top of your eyes. Amazon Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of ligh t. I love them. I would highly recommend. I'll probably never sleep without them again." — AJ Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven sets). 7. A set of silicone "EarPlanes" with a twist-on structure to help relieve pressure that hurts your ears during altitude changes during landing and takeoff. Reviewers also swear by these for driving through altitude changes in the mountains and for helping with sinus pressure pain! Promising review:"This product has changed my life. I travel fairly frequently and always have issues with ear pressure on the plane. My ears will be clogged up, and it is painful to swallow for a day or two after short-distance flights. But now, I use these and fly incident-free. You are supposed to insert them before the plane takes off and then before landing. I have found that it works best if I leave them in the entire flight from before takeoff until landing, but they work almost as well if you take them out once you reach cruising altitude." — Thomasina Get it from Amazon for $7.29 (available in multipacks). 8. A durable bag strap gripper that not only keeps you hands-free when you've got extra shopping bags, jackets, and other accessories to cart around, but prevents you from forgetfully LEAVING said items in places where you will simply never see them again. (RIP to that one lost water bottle we're all still mourning.) Amazon Promising review:"I bought two straps to use for my trip. It was so worth it! It held my family's light jackets and kids travel neck pillow. We also used it to hold our water bottles on our hikes. I wish I knew about these sooner!" — Lisa H Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in six colors). 9. A deeply adorable retro-style portable Bluetooth keyboard you can connect to your tablet, phone, or computer to easily type if you're working while traveling (or just want to e-mail everyone about that croissant you just ate). Reviewers especially love the satisfying ~clickety clack~ feel of the keys! Promising review: "I got this keyboard because of its aesthetic. The look did not disappoint. Love it! Super easy to connect to my iPhone and iPad. It makes my typing and note creating on my phone quicker and cuter. I will purchase another for an upcoming friend's birthday. I know she'll love it as well!" — NT Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in nine styles). 10. A hands-free portable phone charger that sticks right onto your phone plug and chills there so easily that you might forget it's there in the first place. This mini charger is designed to give you one full iPhone battery per charge, making it a lifesaver for busy humans, particularly ones who love traveling. Check out a TikTok of the charger in action. Promising review:"I used these several times for the past year, traveling for business and leisure.

It made getting checked in a breeze and helped my family keep everything organized." — Kevin Garcia Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors). 22. And a compact travel cable organizer with two different pocketed compartments to keep your cords, earbuds, and chargers organized and safe — this is waterproof, so even if *you* get waterlogged on a trip or on your way to work, your gadgets and gizmos won't. Amazon Promising review:"This case has been amazing for storing my earbuds, various loose cable connectors, chargers, etc. I am using it right now on a trip, and it has been fantastic for keeping these items in one convenient, organized place. It is lightweight and fits easily into my one carry-on item when boarding the many flights I am taking. I'm pretty sure I will still be using it to keep all these items together and more easy to locate when I return home! I am so glad I bought this!" — V. Elia Get it from Amazon for $9.85+ (available in 19 colors and three sizes). 23. A TSA-friendly Burt's Bees travel pack, aka your new ally against dry air on the plane or in newer climates. This will keep your feet, lips, hands, *and* human body pampered and moisturized while you jet set. Each set includes a hand lotion, body lotion, lip balm, and a foot cream. Promising review:"The foot cream works wonders on the heels. It has a thick consistency and it's a bit greasy, so it may be hard to put on, but it'll be worth it in the end for those baby soft heels. I just put socks on for 15 minutes while I wait for my skin to absorb it. The lotion and lip balm are also great to have for travel, in the office, or in your purse." — Kerrrns Get it from Amazon for $17. 24. A fully adjustable Stanley bottle crossbody bag, because hydration is never not the hottest accessory. This sleek, leakproof, double-insulated bottle will keep liquid ice cold or toasty warm for hours, and thanks to this comfy crossbody strap, you can take a sip whenever you want. (No backpack wrangling required!) Amazon Promising review: "It's smaller than I anticipated, but I love that even MORE! It's super slim, lightweight, compact, with all your favorite Stanley cup features. Doesn't leak, easy to drink from. Love the color! Going to be my travel buddy from here on out! Saw it on TikTok — had to get it before it's gone." — ralliereviews Get it from Amazon for $75 (available in six styles). 25. A ridiculously soft Essential Hoodie from Pond LA, which is basically what happens when a cozy sweater and a sleeping mask join forces to create the ultimate lightweight piece you can use for everything from light naps to full-on workouts. Not to got a kangaroo pocket. Pond LA Pond LA is a California-based woman-owned, Asian-owned independent product design studio that produces in small, handmade batches from fabrics sourced in Los Angeles. Promising review:"I fly a lot and am constantly trying to find a hoodie with a big hood to cover my eyes so I can catch up on some beauty sleep on flight. I saw this product on Instagram and knew it would be a game changer. I was able to use it recently for the first time on an early morning flight and let me tell you, it is EVERYTHING I was looking for and more. It's comfy, cozy, oversized and the eye covers make you feel like you're in a whole other world and not packed like a sardine on a plane. My over ear headphone fit perfectly under it and I got the best sleep I've had on a plane — EVER!" — Heather G. Get it from Pond LA for $128 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in four colors). 26. A subtle amber reading light that's 99.94% free of blue spectrum light — aka, the light that signals to your brain that it's daytime and keeps you up and attem. Now you can read your book at during the flight further without disrupting your circadian rhythms *or* bugging your neighbors with the harsh overhead. Promising review:"This is a fantastic light! I use it every evening to continue reading while my son sleeps, it does not wake him or impede my sleep after I'm ready to go to bed. Great product." — Brian Masters Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 27. A 4-in-1 flying USB port to condense the tangle of wires next to your bed or desk, whether you're traveling or dreaming of your next trip. This includes a 3.3-foot extension cord so your devices can stay close! Multitasky Multitasky is a woman-owned small business established in 2020 that specializes in cute, functional gadgets for travel, office, and home use. Promising review:"It does as it says it does, allowing my Dell XPS15 to operate a pair of USB devices from my lightning port! The laptop has two USB ports, one of which is always occupied by my USB mouse dongle and the other by my protected USB drive. If I wanted to plug in my phone to switch data or add another thumb drive to transfer a device, everything might have to be disconnected, but not anymore. It was really worth it." — Liberty Get it from Multitasky for $25 (available in three colors). 28. A chic telescoping portable straw you can use in a pinch whether you're traveling or just really, REALLY don't want to eat soggy straw paper at places that have switched over to environmentally friendly options. Amazon Promising review: "I live in NJ and last year the state limited the use of plastic straws in restaurants, so often our only option is paper straws. I personally dislike the strange taste of paper straws and notice they tend to ruin any carbonation in a drink, so I bought this so I wouldn't have to use those. I keep it clipped onto my bag in it's little case so I always have it with me, and it's easy to wash once I get home. Highly recommend to fellow paper straw haters." — Jordan Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in seven colors and sets). 29. A pack of flight attendant–approved snacking olives with a true ~first class~ vibe, whether you're using them to jazz up the boring airplane meal or to eat with the lil' airplane mini of gin that you asked the flight attendant for within the minute of the baby behind you starting to cry. Amazon Promising review: "I used to be a flight attendant, and these were served on the plane. They are some of the best olives! I can't get them anywhere where I live, so I order them online. I recently went to see my friend (former flight attendant also), and she put them on the charcuterie board she made; everyone at the pool was eating them. Definitely recommend this brand if you like green olives!" — Lex Get a variety pack of 12 from Amazon for $19.55 (also available in four other flavors). 30. And a set of airtight, moisture-proof mini salt and pepper shakers because life is too short for bland food. Now you can have an easy "fix-it" when the airplane food tastes like cardboard. Amazon Signora Ware is a small business that specializes in portable food packaging and containers. Promising review:"These salt and pepper shakers are the perfect size for traveling, camping or going to work in my backpack! No leaks, and they work great. Very happy with this purchase." — Mark Pavey Get it from Amazon for $6.49 (available in three other styles). 31. An airplane footrest, because yes, it IS possible to sit comfortably on a plane — all you have to do is hook this onto the tray table, and boom, instant elevation (and a LOT less foot swelling to deal with post-flight!). Amazon Promising review:"This is a game changer when flying! Immediately takes the pressure off your legs and adds tons of comfort. I used it on an 11-hour red-eye flight for the first time and it was the best experience, aside from being in first class. Highly recommend! Even for short flights." — Isa V. Get it from Amazon for $9.99. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Shopping · Future you will be so glad you got the 3-in-1 portable charger and No Jet Lag pills. 1. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount that'll really come in handy when the plane doesn't have TV screens for all your entertainment needs. Thankfully, you can easily attach this to a tray table, an armchair, your luggage, or pretty much any other flat surface. No matter how short or how painstakingly long your flight is, you'll be so glad you packed this. Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on the go. Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra long-haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers." — Earendil Get it from Amazon for $13.97 (available in five colors and multipacks). 2. A 3-in-1 foldable wireless charging pad that charges your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time. You can stay organized by getting rid of tangled cords *and* the high-quality magnets in the pad make sure your items don't slip away. When folded up, it easily fits into your pocket! Lift up the circle on the watch charger that doubles as a watch stand. Green lights pop up when fully charged, but that feature can be turned off for those with sensitivity to light. People also add that they love this product for traveling because it is so compact! Promising review:"Super compact and sleek, so far no issues with charging my iPhone, Apple Watch, and air pods, and performance remains consistent. This charger has eliminated at least two additional cords and I deeply appreciate not having to shuffle chargers around when packing for travel. The charging light has an on/off feature by the watch pad, so I'm able to keep it on the bedside table at night without a bright green light shining in my face. Overall a great value for the money and such a great tool for staying organized during travel." — Cassandra Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors). 3. Plus, a slim profile phone power bank for those times you know you won't have access to an outlet or when all the charging stations are full by the time you get to your gate, and you're on 2%. 😥 It's super slim, making it easy to pack, and it fully charges your iPhone up to *three* times! Promising review:"I like the solid and sleek construction. Fits easily in my pocket. Most importantly it works! Fast charging, enough capacity to charge my phone many times over several days, and withstands plenty of me dropping it and yanking the cord out awkwardly and accidentally." — Joe Hull Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors). 4. A set of vacuum-free compression bags, which are a lifesaver and literal space saver because all you do is zip up your clothes, roll, and voila! You just fit all of those cute vacay fits you so carefully planned out into just your carry-on. Say whhaaaaa----?!?! Emma Lord on our Shopping team says: HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn't require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion I still couldn't quite believe it. I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag. Truly all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and make a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips need them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home. I'm never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny. Get a set of eight from Amazon for $15.48. 5. An Airplane Pocket tray cover because if you've ever tried squeezing a full-size water bottle in the seat back pocket, you know the struggle. With the many pockets, you can keep all those Hudson News snacks, water, and your phone all in a secure spot without having to annoy your seatmates when you get up for the fifth time to get something from the overhead bin. Amazon, Check out a TikTok of the Airplane Pockets tray table cover in action. Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products. I used this on a roundtrip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves! Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 6. Plus, a patterned travel tray for kids you can use as a snack area, a place for contained toy play, and a way to hold your little one's tablet. This will definitely help reduce the amount of times there's a fallen marker, spilled snack, or an "Are we there yet?" Lusso Gear is a small business that specializes in travel products. Promising review: "Absolutely love this for traveling with kids!!! We bought this for a recent trip with our daughter and it made snack time and playtime on the flight so much easier and mess-free. It's sturdy, high-quality, and fits perfectly on the tray table and tablet. It's also a nice extra layer of protection from germs when traveling. Our daughter loved the cute mermaid design too!" — Laura Knotts Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in five prints). 7. A luggage drink caddy because the minute you get through security you bet your bottom dollar that you're stopping at the Starbucks for a drink and a sweet treat. This has super strong velcro to attach to your luggage handles and the elastic fits various-sized cups, letting you actually have a free hand! Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it's my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." — Philip Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in 23 styles). 8. Plus, an attachable luggage table to show off that you're standin' on BUSINESS when it comes to traveling (aka you're the CEO of being superrrr prepared). With this, you've got an instant desk or meal tray in the airport, no matter what seat you take. Amazon Promising review: "Ingenious. How many times I have been an an airport with nothing to balance anything on, whether it be computer or coffee? So I have to hand it to the inventor that they have accomplished something truly useful. I really appreciate the ingenuity." — Anahata Get it from Amazon for $39.95. 9. A set of Sea Bands for anyone who deals with motion sickness or nausea while traveling. This puts pressure on an acupuncture point to help you out during those long car rides, boat rides, or the "please fasten your seatbelts" type of turbulence on a plane ride. Promising review:"These were awesome! My entire family suffers from motion sickness, especially carsickness. My little one gets sick in the car on a regular car ride through the city. So I knew that a long road trip was going to be a disaster. I was amazed at how well these bands worked for everyone! Not one single person complained about being sick for 12 hours in the car. I have suffered for decades and now I know better. I will never travel without mine again!" — 1SmartCookie Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.05. 10. A set of silicone "EarPlanes" to help relieve your ears of that annoying pressure you feel during takeoffs and landings. No more constant gum chewing, ear tugging, or yawning to get rid of that "popping" feeling. AND, they'll even work for road trips with high altitude changes! Promising review:"This product has changed my life. I travel fairly frequently and always have issues with ear pressure on the plane. My ears will be clogged up, and it is painful to swallow for a day or two after short-distance flights. But now, I use these and fly incident-free. You are supposed to insert them before the plane takes off and then before landing. I have found that it works best if I leave them in the entire flight from before takeoff until landing, but they work almost as well if you take them out once you reach cruising altitude." — Thomasina Get one pair from Amazon for $7.89. 11. A fully tricked-out travel backpack with *brace yourself* two laptop sleeves, a shoe compartment, a "wet bag" for damp clothes, a waterproof interior, and an anti-theft design. Personally... this personal item is in a league of its own. Plus, it has a USB charging port! Promising review:"I recently took a cross-country flight with my three kids. I really didn't want to worry about checked bags getting lost so maximizing our carry-ons was a priority. This backpack fit an unfathomable amount of stuff! Lots of zippers and compartments for everything from shoes to laptops/iPads, easy access compartments for cell phones and boarding passes, I fit tons of neatly folded clothes. The best part was that fully loaded it easily slid under the seat." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five sizes and 41 styles). 12. An oh-so-chic adjustable mini belted pack that's basically a Lululemon look-a-like, but for way cheaper. This has tons of storage and can also be worn as a crossbody bag. It even has a sneaky little inner pocket that can be for your valuable items that you don't want any sticky fingers touching while abroad. Promising review: "TikTok told me this compared to Lululemon, and it's true, it is. Love this little bag! And the price — you can't beat it." — Jolie BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly also owns this — she packed it as her only bag for a trip to busy trip to Iceland, and not only did it hold a ton and keep her hands free, it easily fit around her waist over her outerwear. Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in 45 colors). 13. A car backseat organizer because you know how crowded things can get when you're doing a road trip with the fam. This hooks right onto the back of a chair and holds everything from snacks, drinks, electronics, and even grocery bags since there are little hidden hooks on the bottom. Promising review: "Our family car (Chevy Traverse 2019) unfortunately doesn't have adequate cup holders in the back for my kids. I bought these to see if they would help for our up coming road trip. We were very pleasantly surprised at the sturdiness and how stable these were. Very easy to install. They come with two size hooks, and I found the shorter (car) hooks worked better than the longer ones. It gave it a much tighter fit making me confident they wouldn't easily get kicked over and allowing me to trust the drink holder! One of my daughters has a 40-oz. cup that this easily accommodated. I would definitely recommend." — Mom O. Five Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 14. An AirFly since most wireless earbuds or headphones don't have the headphone jack anymore. There's nothing worse than wanting to do an Avengers movie marathon on that 10-hour plane ride and not being able to connect your earbuds. This small plug-in lets you actually enjoy your long plane ride AND actually enjoy the sound quality from those wireless headphones you dropped a pretty penny on. Here's what BuzzFeeder Chelsea Stuart has to say about them: "Last year I splurged on some AirPod Maxes and for the amount of money I threw down on them, I was determined to get as much use out of them as possible and that included on plane rides. With the AirFly Pro, I can connect my headphones via Bluetooth and use the seat-back screen without having to fiddle with the free wired headphones they hand out that 1.) have horrible sound quality and 2.) don't fit my ears in the slightest. (I swear my ear canals are tiny or something??)" Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and bought it instantly for an upcoming trip. I wish I knew about this sooner so I could enjoy inflight entertainment without needed additional headphones. This allows for that, which is great. It works so well, my husband bought one as well. Highly recommend." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three styles and three colors). 15. A compact but mighty 2-in-1 wall charger and portable power bank that can charge three devices at once (laptops included) *and* it can be your saving grace when you realize you're low on juice right when you get to the perfect photo op. Amazon Promising review: "I traveled for four weeks and this nice unit was perfect — charged everyone's iPhones during the day, and my iPad and my computer while taking the train for a few hours at a time. Other than it being a little heavy for all day carrying, it was a perfect unit to buy." — Julie Get it from Amazon for $88.99+ (available in two colors). 16. A collapsible leakproof water bottle because you know that the airport is going to overcharge you for a plastic water bottle like there's no tomorrow. This is triple leakproof and it'll wow everyone else when you show 'em how small it gets when it's empty. Promising review:"I just bought this bottle and I'm already obsessed. I even ordered four more to bring with me on vacation and share with my family. I love how easily it folds back up and it doesn't leak at all. I just wish it came in more colors and can't wait to show everyone my cool new bottle!" — Brittany Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 17. The iconic Alleyoop Pen Pal, which is basically a cooler makeup version of the classic BIC 4 Color Pen. This has four retractable colors so you can touch up your brows, eyeliner, lips, and highlights. Plus, it takes up little to no room in your makeup/toiletry bag! Alleyoop is a woman-owned small business that specializes in functional makeup products. Here's what former BuzzFeeder Jasmin Sandal has to say about it: "I gotta say, I love the concept of the Pen Pal from Alleyoop! After using all of the functions (eyeliner, highlighter, lip liner, eyebrow pencil) and as someone who LOVES makeup but was applying as little as humanly possible during lockdown, I think it's a great tool for anyone looking to streamline their routine. It's ideal to use for touchups come the end of the work day, or a subtle, minimalist way to apply makeup in the a.m. The brow pencil is particularly soft and pigmented, and filled in my eyebrows quickly. I just adore the ease of application of each product, and appreciate the universal, does-it-all-for-you concept. Plus, it saves me so much room in my already-overflowing makeup bag!" Get it from Alleyoop on sale for $15 (originally $20; available in three shades). 18. And Alleyoop's portable travel razor that includes several razors, a moisturizing bar, and a refillable spray bottle to tackle those sneaky little hairs you missed last night while shaving in preparation for your beach vacay. Alleyoop is a woman-owned small business that specializes in functional makeup products. Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and just HAD to get it. It arrived the next day and it was so easy for me to use! I put it in my gym bag for when I need a quick shave and I am so glad I did. It is so travel-friendly and it's also super cute! People had NO idea it was a razor because of the cute shape. The moisturizing bar was really conditioning and it has two razors which is perfect because I would never pack an extra razor in my bag.. This is staying in my gym bag forever and I'm going to get another one for my car … and for my purse and for all my friends!!" — Grace Song Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in two colors). Psst — check out all of Alleyoop's other travel-friendly products for more clever options! 19. An expandable luggage strap that will carry pretty much anything you want it to. A jacket? Yep! Your personal item? You betcha! How about a purse or a neck pillow? Yes, and yes! Whatever you choose, you'll know it'll be secure and out of your hands, so you can hold that Starbucks coffee instead! Promising review:"I had this travel strap attached to my backpack as a just in case. It's small and hardly noticeable so it wasn't in the way. When I finally needed it while on a trip, it was a lifesaver. I was able to attach some shopping bags, thankfully being able to keep my hands free." — Jonesy96 Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four colors). 20. A magnetic folding pill organizer so you can have a mini pharmacy on hand in case the vacation bug gets ya! It's super compact, but it holds a lot thanks to the seven compartments. You can even use this for jewelry too! Promising review:"I purchased this because I saw them all over TikTok. As someone with chronic illness I honestly carry around like 10 different pill bottles for 'just in case' situations. This little pill box is a great size, I love that it's magnetic and each little compartment fits a good amount of pills. It won't fit a ton of Tums if that's what you're looking for, but the amount of space this has saved in my bag is amazing!" — Jasmin Salas Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes, multipacks, and 11 colors). 21. Or a weekly pill organizer to keep your medications and vitamins organized as heck in these portable containers. The push-through silicone lids make them easy to fill and the dual-sided containers are great if you've got morning medications and nighttime supplements! Amazon Sagely is a family-owned small business founded by husband-and-wife team Ellie Glazer and Ivor Miskulin, who spent three years designing the ideal, stress-free pill storage solution. The silicone lids are super secure but also designed for gentle and easy opening and closing to account for users with dexterity issues. Promising review: "Love this thing!!! Modern and cool. The little slots to push in pills are fantastic, and the containers are very large. It keeps my huge vitamin pills on either side and could fit over 10 large ones if needed. Love this thing. Worth the price, and it looks like it'll last forever. I do wish the magnets were stronger. They just keep them in place but will slide off if bumped. I assume this is helpful for people with arthritis. It's an easy fix. I will hot glue on some craft magnetics and velcro it upside down to my kitchen cabinet for easy access. I take down one day's worth of pills, set it on my counter, and now I am not too lazy to take my pills!" — Chicken McNugget Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in four colors). 22. A waterproof pouch because your tropical vacation calls for some cool underwater pics. This makes sure that your phone won't get drenched and it still lets you use your touchscreen in case you get a text while you're in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It fits any phone up to 100 mm x 170 mm (or about 3.9 inches x 6.7 inches). It's also a great fix for keeping out sand and dirt (and a great option for runners, if you're caught in the rain but still want to be able to toggle through your music options). Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about it: "With these, I find that they're good for about a day due to condensation. I've used this case to take underwater pics, on boat rides, and have worn it with the lanyard jumping off a boat into water. So I really trust these!" Promising review:"I purchased this case in July for an upcoming canoe trip with a friend and as luck would have it, we flipped our canoe. Being the rebel that I am, I chose not to wear my phone around my neck. And so it, my ID, and my debit card ended up at the bottom of the river. Fast-forward to this week. I was contacted via FB by an Alachua County Sheriff's Office diver and guess what he found? Yup, my phone case with all of the contents intact and dry as a bone! He had to cut the case open but there was not one single drop of water in it and he ended up purchasing a case for himself because he was just that impressed!" — Julie McDonald Get it from Amazon for $6.49+ (available in 14 colors). 23. An investment-worthy, super-soft Trtl neck pillow since you got stuck with the middle seat and knew you needed something to get you through that long flight. It's designed to keep your head upright while you snooze and help prevent annoying neck pain. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Trtl neck pillow in action. Promising review:"Small and sturdy. Keeps your neck positioned up instead of lolling off to the side. You will wake up refreshed and not sore (in the neck anyways) airplane travel is stressful but this little gem makes it bearable. Kudos to the creator! First time I actually slept comfortably on a plane. Other neck sleepers don't compare." — Judy M. Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in five colors). 24. Plus a set of homeopathic jet-lag pills, perfect if you're jumping to a time zone that makes it feel like you're time traveling. These don't have any side effects and might just help you acclimate better after your lonnnnggggg flight. According to the instructions, you should take them at take off and then every two hours and then again once you arrive to help with relaxation and combat sleepiness. Promising review:"I heard about this product from my cousin who used it for a trip to Japan and it was very effective. I used it for a trip to Washington, DC, that had a number of stops and delays — total of 15 hours to get to my destination. I was comfortable upon arrival. The next morning I was ready for a work day." — ELEANORE Get a pack of 32 pills from Amazon for $15.99. 25. A lil' snack pouch you can pre-pack with your favorite in-flight goodies and save yourself from paying for the airports' expensive snacks. Reviewers love how much they can store in this thing and that it's a great affordable alternative to similar ones from Stoney Clover Lane. Sage Nation is a small business specializing in quirky organizational pouches for travel and home use. Promising review: "Lettering is spot on. Love the colors, and the clear bag make is easy for kids to see what is available. Quality materials and construction." — Lisa Stanko Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 26. A portable rain hood so when Mother Nature tries to pull a fast one on ya, you can be like, "Not today!" It can be easily stashed in your purse when the rain finally stops, and it takes up way less room in your luggage than a regular rain jacket. Amazon Promising review: "I love this! The quality is very nice and it fits great. W ore it last week in the rain with a coat I love that doesn't have a hood, and it was perfect. It slips right under your jacket so all you see is the hood, so it pretty much blends in with your jacket. Such a great idea! Wish there were more colors and patterns, I'd order more." — Jill Hammel Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in two sizes). 27. A portable hanging luggage organizer if you're a little bit lazy but still a little bit of a perfectionist, and you want everything in its place when you get to the hotel room... but don't feel like fully unpacking your entire suitcase. This has four different compartments, with one of them having a zippered closure! Bonus: This works with your existing suitcase, unlike versions of this that come pre-built into more expensive versions! Promising review:"I was able to pack seven outfits and have way more space in this organizer. I just packed the clothes in the organizer, closed it up, and placed it in my carry on. Once I got to the hotel, I just hung it in my closet. It would be perfect for cruises since their is never any drawer space and very little room to move around." — jess Get it from Amazon for $27.89+ (available in four colors and several sets). 28. A compact travel cable organizer because you've got gadgets and gizmos a plenty which all come with So. Many. Charging. Cables. This keeps everything organized in one convenient place, and it's even waterproof! Amazon Promising review:"This case has been amazing for storing my earbuds, various loose cable connectors, chargers, etc. I am using it right now on a trip and it has been fantastic for keeping these items in one convenient, organized place. It is lightweight and fits easily into my one carry on item when boarding the many flights I am taking. I'm pretty sure I will still be using it to keep all these items together and more easy to locate when I return home! I am so glad I bought this!" — V. Elia Get it from Amazon for $9.85+ (available in three sizes and 19 colors). 29. A quick-release vegan leather travel belt if your tried and true personal item isn't equipped with the trolley pass-through like some of the more modern ones on the market. This secures your bag to the top of your rolling suitcase so you can mosey on over to your gate without fear of a fallen bag. Cincha Travel Cincha Travel is a California-based small business that specializes in adjustable travel belts made out of vegan leather. The brand donates 100 airline miles for each purchase, which are used to reconnect separated migrant families. Promising review:"I try to go on trips with just a carryon and backpack. The issue is my backpack always gets so heavy and hurts my back in king travel days. This belt completely solves that problem! It is high quality, comfortable, and looks super sleek! It's my favorite travel precut hands-down! — Benjamin Get it from Cincha or Amazon for $39.99 (available in 14 colors). 30. A TSA-friendly "Wallet Ninja" that comes with so many features you may as well call it a jack of all trades. It's small enough to fit in your pocket or wallet but can function as a cell phone holder, bottle opener, screwdriver, ruler, and literally so much more! Amazon Wallet Ninja is a small business that specializes in card-sized, slim-profile tools and accessories. Each card includes: several screwdrivers, a letter opener, nail puller, ruler, bottle opener, can opener, box opener, cellphone stand, hex-head nut and bolts, and a fruit peeler. Promising review:"This is definitely helpful to have on hand! The Ninja is small and slim but punches above its weight class in terms of usefulness. The tools are all things you might find yourself searching through a drawer for and are useful in a pinch. It fits comfortably in your wallet and will help you open a beer or tighten a screw. The coolest feature that I couldn't find on most other similar products was the credit card phone stand. It i s great for planes and other travel applications (I haven't had trouble bringing this on a plane anywhere I have traveled, FYI)."— Mary Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (also available in packs of two, three, and five). 31. A hybrid travel planner and journal so you can plan out all your fun adventures and then write some juicy journal entries on the next page. Planning for the trip is fun, but recollecting all the memories you made ON the trip? Even better! The Lamare/Etsy The Lamare is a Florida-based small business that specializes in planners and journals. Promising review:"I loved this travel planner. I got it to plan my road trip and it is working wonderfully. It has a monthly overview so you can plan the month leading up to the trip. Also, you get a whole page for what and where you want to go and where you want to eat. And a whole page for a packeting list with blank labels for categories." — Sydney Smith Get it from Amazon or Etsy for $13.95+. 32. A Saucemoto dip clip you can attached onto your air vent so you can enjoy those nugs and fries without fear of spilling bright yellow Chik-fil-A sauce or ketchup on your fave heather grey sweatpants. Amazon, Saucemoto is a small business established in 2018 that specializes in unique car accessories. Promising review:"I don't like to admit it, but sometimes I eat fast food in my car, particularly on long road trips. This holder is exactly what I would have designed if I had thought of it. There really is nothing I would change. It's sturdy and I haven't found a sauce yet that doesn't fit; but if I do, there is a cup it comes with to hold 'loose' sauce." — Jr High Teacher Get set of two from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors). 33. A reusable, *delightfully* portable gel lint roller that effortlessly gets all those annoying hairs and unwanted fuzzies on your clothes. Once it's all dirty, remove the gel ball and wash it with water. The ball will be sticky and brand new after air drying, so you can continue rockin' and rolling sans lint. Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok a bunch of times and finally decided to get it. I hate the paper lint rollers, they never seem to work that well and I hate that I have to throw them away. This is awesome because it fits right in my bag, and I'm able to reuse it over and over. It's super sticky and works great!" — Ella Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors). 34. "The Ring Thing," — a waterproof holder that keeps your rings in a secure place whenever you don't feel like wearing them. This tightly clips onto your bag or reusable water bottle, and just like that, your most precious jewelry is safe and sound.

A water-resistant insulated water bottle carrier that'll come in handy for those long walks on the beach or when you're hiking with the family. It holds your water *and* has space for your keys and phone! Promising review:"Very handy when traveling or at the gym! I got this one after getting a different brand that is smaller. I love the extra pockets on this and the roomie section for ANY water bottle or a smaller water bottle and other stuff. The zipped pocket holds my iPhone Max just fine. Just took this on a cruise and several people commented wishing they had one. So much easier than a backpack or something for your water bottle." — Judy Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 14 colors). 36. A compact travel detangling brush, a must-have if you want to zhuzh up your hair while you're out on the town. This is meant for all hair types and saves space in your suitcase since it's way smaller than a regular brush. Promising review:"I have very curly hair so I can sometimes struggle to find a hairbrush with bristles that don't end up getting caught and broken in my hair. This hairbrush has lasted through several trips without any issues, is the perfect compact size in that it is small but doesn't feel awkward to use as a hairbrush, and also comes in a number of cute colors. Definitely recommend!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 11 styles). 37.

Ten stars — it fit every type of chair we encountered on our Kenyan vacation! Kept our toddler controlled and made feeding on the go so easy. Very lightweight and packable, a vacation must-have!" — Kireme1 Get it from Amazon for $27.99. 38. A rechargeable itty bitty white noise maker that'll help your little one (or you!) get a good night's rest thanks to the 15 nonlooping sounds. Sleepless nights shouldn't be getting in the way of your vacay, and this will help make sure that doesn't happen! Promising review:"I am a flight attendant and sometimes have a hard time falling asleep while away in my hotels without my home white noise maker. This is compact and rechargeable so it is super easy to keep with me on my trips! It also has great volume range from very low to quite loud! I would recommend even for home use if you don't have a ton of space but want to use a white noise machine." — Faith Morris Get it from Amazon for $17.09+ (available in 12 colors and in packs of two). 39. Self-heating soothing foot masks because your step count skyrockets on vacation which means you need something to soothe your achy feet after a long day. This is made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint for the ultimate self-care night. Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. Emma Lord on our team says: I'm a long-ish distance runner and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and after a few minutes feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days! Promising review:"Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018 Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97.

31 Travel Products That Will Get So Many Admiring Looks At The Airport
HuffPost and its publishing partners receive a share from retailers on this page. Prices and availability are subject to change. Amazon Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Airplane Pockets tray table cover in action. Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products. I used this on a roundtrip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves! $30 at Amazon Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on the go. Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip, and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers." — Earendil $14 at Amazon Promising review: "Lightweight and compact. This carryon is super sleek, stylish and exactly what I was hoping for. The expandable part is helpful, really small without it but probably perfect for a short weekend trip. One thing I would say is don't try too hard to squeeze things down — if you decide to stuff it, you must keep it expanded. Love the built-in lock system." — Reina $65 at Amazon Here's what BuzzFeeder Chelsea Stuart has to say about them: "Last year I splurged on some AirPod Maxes and for the amount of money I threw down on them, I was determined to get as much use out of them as possible and that included on plane rides. With the AirFly Pro, I can connect my headphones via Bluetooth and use the seat-back screen without having to fiddle with the free wired headphones they hand out that 1.) have horrible sound quality and 2.) don't fit my ears in the slightest. (I swear my ear canals are tiny or something??)"Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and bought it instantly for an upcoming trip. I wish I knew about this sooner so I could enjoy inflight entertainment without needed additional headphones. This allows for that, which is great. It works so well, my husband bought one as well. Highly recommend." — Amazon Customer $30+ at Amazon Check out a TikTok of the mini Kindle in action. Promising review: "This is such a great Kindle! It's lightweight, the perfect size for going in a purse or bag, and the matcha is SUCH a great color. I already have a Paperwhite SE that I love, so I decided to get this Kindle for travel purposes. The battery life isn't as great as my Paperwhite, but it still lasts me a while with daily reading! It fits perfectly in my hands and makes reading very comfortable. The only thing it is missing is the warm light option, but that is not a deal breaker for me. If you are looking for a lightweight and comfortable Kindle, this is the one for you." — Christine Heath $110 at Amazon Amazon Amazon Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of light. I love them. I would highly recommend. I'll probably never sleep without them again." — AJ $17 at Amazon Amazon Amazon Promising review: "I believe this has been my best purchase of this year. This water bottle is well designed, holds water well and brings unnecessary attention but it's welcomed 😈. It creates a different drinking experience and it's unique yet awkward design fits in all bags. Even fits in my Vespa perfectly. I want to say the price is a little steep in my opinion, but after weeks of use, I get it." — Aaron V. Get it from Amazon for $50+ (available in two colors and four sizes). $50 at Amazon Promising review: "This product has changed my life. I travel fairly frequently and always have issues with ear pressure on the plane. My ears will be clogged up, and it is painful to swallow for a day or two after short-distance flights. But now, I use these and fly incident-free. You are supposed to insert them before the plane takes off and then before landing. I have found that it works best if I leave them in the entire flight from before takeoff until landing, but they work almost as well if you take them out once you reach cruising altitude." — Thomasina $8+ at Amazon Amazon Amazon Promising review: "I bought two straps to use for my trip. It was so worth it! It held my family's light jackets and kids travel neck pillow. We also used it to hold our water bottles on our hikes. I wish I knew about these sooner!" — Lisa H $8+ at Amazon Promising review: "I got this keyboard because of its aesthetic. The look did not disappoint. Love it! Super easy to connect to my iPhone and iPad. It makes my typing and note creating on my phone quicker and cuter. I will purchase another for an upcoming friend's birthday. I know she'll love it as well!" — NT $30+ at Amazon Check out a TikTok of the charger in action. Promising review: "I used these several times for the past year, traveling for business and leisure. It is always a challenge to find an outlet at the airport since some airports do not offer a charging station. Using those types can also be a security risk. That's why I love using these portable chargers. They are lightweight and fit in my travel handbag/or small backpack pocket. The portable chargers take about 30–35 minutes to fully charge if dead. Once charged, they charge fast and hold a charge for many hours." — J $14+ at Amazon Promising review: "These are fabulous for travel — they charge three devices from just one USB port, especially [helpful] when frequenting hotel rooms. The first one is now permanently stationed bedside to help clean up the clutter, and this will go into my briefcase for future excursions. Compact, and effective!" — see2xu Get it from Amazon for $71.99 (available in four colors). $77+ at Amazon Amazon Amazon Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Promising review: "Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it's pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it's extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I'm especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what's not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" — Briana R. Check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options). $16+ at Amazon Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Trtl neck pillow in action. Promising review: "Small and sturdy. Keeps your neck positioned up instead of lolling off to the side. You will wake up refreshed and not sore (in the neck anyways) airplane travel is stressful but this little gem makes it bearable. Kudos to the creator! First time I actually slept comfortably on a plane. Other neck sleepers don't compare." — Judy M. $65 at Amazon Promising review: "Just received this and so far so good! Inflates within mere seconds, and the same to deflate. Seems really supportive and comfortable. I was influenced by a TikTok review." — Katelyn $25 at Amazon Promising review: "I recently took a cross-country flight with my three kids. I really didn't want to worry about checked bags getting lost so maximizing our carry-ons was a priority. This backpack fit an unfathomable amount of stuff! Lots of zippers and compartments for everything from shoes to laptops/iPads, easy access compartments for cell phones and boarding passes, I fit tons of neatly folded clothes. The best part was that fully loaded it easily slid under the seat." — Kindle Customer $23+ at Amazon Promising review: "I was looking for a lightweight luggage scale to ensure that when returning from vacation, my luggage was not overweight. This works amazing. Super lightweight and extremely accurate." — Taziree $12+ at Amazon Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it's my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." — Philip $12+ at Amazon Amazon Amazon Promising review: "Ingenious. How many times I have been in an airport with nothing to balance anything on, whether it be a computer or coffee? So, I have to hand it to the inventor that they have accomplished something truly useful. I really appreciate the ingenuity." — Anahata $40 at Amazon Sage Nation is a small business specializing in quirky organizational pouches for travel and home use. Promising review: "Lettering is spot on. Love the colors, and the clear bag makes it easy for kids to see what is available. Quality materials and construction." — Lisa Stanko Get it from Amazon for $19.99. $20 at Amazon Check out a TikTok of the snack spinner in action. Promising review: "I bought these before they were on Amazon. I'm obsessed. My kids think it's a game, and they're so intent on eating all the food inside. Even my picky eater. As a mom who absolutely hates to hand wash things, I'm so grateful that a) the entire thing comes apart for washing and b) it's completely dishwasher-safe. This thing is awesome. One of a kind. I own five right now. Will probably be getting more in the future for when the baby is old enough to snack independently." — Jordan Christman Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in three colors and two sizes). $28+ at Amazon Promising review: "I took my kids on their first international trip, and this thing was a total lifesaver. It fits easily in a fanny pack or small purse for easy access, and it fits my whole family's passports, vaccine cards, boarding passes, and a pen with plenty of room for cash and cards if you decide to use it as a wallet for your trip. It made getting checked in a breeze and helped my family keep everything organized." — Kevin Garcia $8+ at Amazon Amazon Amazon Promising review: "This case has been amazing for storing my earbuds, various loose cable connectors, chargers, etc. I am using it right now on a trip, and it has been fantastic for keeping these items in one convenient, organized place. It is lightweight and fits easily into my one carry-on item when boarding the many flights I am taking. I'm pretty sure I will still be using it to keep all these items together and more easy to locate when I return home! I am so glad I bought this!" — V. Elia $8+ at Amazon Each set includes a hand lotion, body lotion, lip balm, and a foot cream. Promising review: "The foot cream works wonders on the heels. It has a thick consistency and it's a bit greasy, so it may be hard to put on, but it'll be worth it in the end for those baby soft heels. I just put socks on for 15 minutes while I wait for my skin to absorb it. The lotion and lip balm are also great to have for travel, in the office, or in your purse." — Kerrrns $13+ at Amazon Promising review: "It's smaller than I anticipated, but I love that even MORE! It's super slim, lightweight, compact, with all your favorite Stanley cup features. Doesn't leak, easy to drink from. Love the color! Going to be my travel buddy from here on out! Saw it on TikTok — had to get it before it's gone." — ralliereviews $75 at Amazon Pond LA Pond LA Pond LA is a California-based woman-owned, Asian-owned independent product design studio that produces in small, handmade batches from fabrics sourced in Los Angeles. Promising review: "I fly a lot and am constantly trying to find a hoodie with a big hood to cover my eyes so I can catch up on some beauty sleep on flight. I saw this product on Instagram and knew it would be a game changer. I was able to use it recently for the first time on an early morning flight and let me tell you, it is EVERYTHING I was looking for and more. It's comfy, cozy, oversized and the eye covers make you feel like you're in a whole other world and not packed like a sardine on a plane. My over ear headphone fit perfectly under it and I got the best sleep I've had on a plane — EVER!" — Heather G. $128 at Pond LA Promising review: "This is a fantastic light! I use it every evening to continue reading while my son sleeps, it does not wake him or impede my sleep after I'm ready to go to bed. Great product." — Brian Masters Get it from Amazon for $14.99. $13 at Amazon Amazon Amazon Promising review: "I live in NJ and last year the state limited the use of plastic straws in restaurants, so often our only option is paper straws. I personally dislike the strange taste of paper straws and notice they tend to ruin any carbonation in a drink, so I bought this so I wouldn't have to use those. I keep it clipped onto my bag in it's little case so I always have it with me, and it's easy to wash once I get home. Highly recommend to fellow paper straw haters." — Jordan Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four colors and sets). $9+ at Amazon Amazon Promising review: "I used to be a flight attendant, and these were served on the plane. They are some of the best olives! I can't get them anywhere where I live, so I order them online. I recently went to see my friend (former flight attendant also), and she put them on the charcuterie board she made; everyone at the pool was eating them. Definitely recommend this brand if you like green olives!" — Lex $17+ at Amazon Amazon Signora Ware is a small business that specializes in portable food packaging and containers. Promising review: "These salt and pepper shakers are the perfect size for traveling, camping or going to work in my backpack! No leaks, and they work great. Very happy with this purchase." — Mark Pavey $6+ at Amazon Amazon Promising review: "This is a game changer when flying! Immediately takes the pressure off your legs and adds tons of comfort. I used it on an 11-hour red-eye flight for the first time and it was the best experience, aside from being in first class. Highly recommend! Even for short flights." — Isa V. $10 at Amazon Flight Attendants Say These 25 Things Make Travel More Comfortable 10 'Fake' Engagement And Wedding Rings To Wear If You're Traveling The Best Anti-Theft Bags To Carry While Traveling
