Baggage rules Here's the key information you need to know about regarding some of the key airlines operating in the UK. Ryanair All Ryanair passengers can bring a small personal bag on board but this must fit under the seat in front of you. It must be no bigger than 40cm x 20cm x 25cm. All over-sized cabin bags will be refused at the boarding gate, or where available put in the hold for a fee. Anyone wanting to bring another bag, you'll need to upgrade and pay extra for priority and two cabin bags or checked baggage. EasyJet The budget airline allows each person to bring a small cabin bag on board. It can be no larger than 45cm x 36cm x 20cm, this includes any handles or wheels, and it needs to be able to fit under the seat in front of you. The bag can weigh up to 15kg but easyJet says you must be able to lift and carry it yourself. Any bag larger than the limit, or any additional bags will be put in the hold and you'll have to pay an airport bag fee. Jet2 Passengers can also bring on board one piece of hand luggage when flying with Jet2, free of charge. It must not weigh more than 10kg and can't be any bigger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, including any wheels and handles. If your hand luggage is larger or weighs more, it will have to be put into the aircraft's hold, which might incur an additional charge. Travellers can also bring a small, personal item on board with them, such as a handbag, laptop case or a purchase made at the airport, but this has to be placed underneath the seat in front of you. British Airways All British Airways passengers can carry one piece of hand luggage and one small item on board. The hand luggage must not be bigger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm while the small item cannot exceed 40cm x 30cm x15cm. TUI People flying with TUI can bring on board one piece of hand luggage, weighing no more than 10kg for free. It must be no larger than 55cm x 40cm x 20cm and you must be able to lift your hand luggage into an overhead storage compartment by yourself. Items such as laptops, handbags and any item bought at the airport must be small enough to be stored under your seat. Wizz Air Wizz Air passengers can only take a small cabin bag for free onto the plane. Bags must be no more than 10kg, and measure no more than 40cm x 30cm x 20cm. Verdict Sports Direct comes out on top for the cheapest branded cabin case at just £14.99, while its £64 three-piece set is ideal for families or longer trips. If you're just after a single case, Dunelm offer solid one-off buys, while Matalan and Home Bargains are perfect if you want to pick and mix sizes. However, if you're after something that's compatible for Easy Jet, Jet2 and RyanAir, you'll want to head on over to Amazon. For overall value, Debenhams' £59.25 three-piece set is hard to beat – especially for shoppers after a full matching bundle without breaking the bank. Just remember – prices are correct at the time of writing but can change quickly, so it's worth snapping up a deal before it wheels away. How to compare prices While all these deals are solid, it's important to remember that not every 'sale' price is actually a bargain. That's where price comparison tools can come in handy. Websites like Google Shopping let you type in a product name or model number to instantly compare prices across dozens of retailers. How to bag a bargain SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain… Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with. Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks. Sales are when you can pick up a real steal. Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on. Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too. When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use and are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer. Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping. Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out. And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item. PriceSpy is great if you want to look at a product's price history – it tracks prices from over 3,000 stores including Amazon, Argos and the major supermarkets. Idealo works in a similar way and ranks products from the cheapest to the most expensive, while CamelCamelCamel focuses on Amazon deals specifically, showing you how prices have changed over time. Shopping around and doing a quick search can save you serious money and stop you getting caught out by sneaky markups. Just don't forget to factor in delivery fees and check stock before heading to stores to avoid disappointment.

Warning as Aberdeen man turned away from £1k holiday after being caught out by passport rule
An Aberdeen man has been left 'gutted' after being turned away at the gate of a holiday due to passport rules. James Clark, from Airyhall, was looking forward to embarking on a £1k trip to Tenerife yesterday to celebrate a friend's birthday – but it instead turned into 'the worst day of his life'. That's after RyanAir staff refused to let the 28-year-old on to the plane yesterday, due to his passport being deemed invalid. It left the student separated from his friends who boarded the flights to celebrate the birthday party abroad. Despite his documents being technically in date, he was denied due to a post-Brexit 'passport 10-year rule'. After the UK's exit from the European Union, EU countries no longer accept passports issued more than 10 years ago and with James' passport being issued in March 2015, he was out of luck. His passport was allowed through RyanAir's online booking system. James had spent £700 on flights and accommodation, and a further £200 on travel to and from Edinburgh. Speaking to The Press and Journal, James said he was devastated by yesterday's events. He said: 'It genuinely feels like one of the worst days of my life. He continued: 'I checked in with my passport number and put that in and it said everything was okay. 'But they wouldn't let me fly. 'I was just left there, and just had to walk out of Edinburgh Airport and had to trudge back up to Aberdeen out of my own pocket. 'I was just shocked, angry and confused. I'm gutted.' Travel expert and writer Simon Calder has previously spoken on this particular issue. His office told The P&J that this rule has caught out 'countless people' since its inception post-Brexit. A spokesperson said: 'This rule is catching so many people out. This happens all the time at different airports around the UK. 'It has ruined so many holidays, we can't even begin to count. 'We have always said that officials' voices are not saying enough on this particular issue because people are still experiencing these issues. It needs to be clearer. 'We receive calls about this situation at least twice a week. 'It's so frustrating for travellers.' James is currently in the process of trying to claim compensation from RyanAir. Previous communications from RyanAir on this issue read: 'Passports must meet the requirements for travel from the UK to the EU, which are set out by the European Commission Migration and Home Affairs Office – not Ryanair. 'Passports must be issued within 10 years of the date of departure into the EU. It is each passenger's responsibility to ensure that their passport is valid for travel in line with the relevant State requirements at the time of travel. 'These requirements are clearly set out on and passengers are reminded with pop-up messages during booking.' RyanAir was approached for comment.

Molly-Mae risks wrath of fans as she gets private jet to Disneyland
Molly-Mae Hague is risking criticism from fans once again as she boards a private jet to take her to Paris to start her 26th birthday celebrations with her family Molly-Mae Hague has started her 26th birthday celebrations in style as she revealed she is taking a private jet with her family to Disneyland, risking the wrath of fans. The influencer treated her followers to an array of snaps on her Instagram stories, showcasing her time at the airport before boarding her private jet. Molly first shared a picture of Bambi at the airport along with the caption 'Let's go to Disney' before sharing a snap inside the jet, complete with personalised decorations. The decorations included a banner of Molly's face wearing the iconic Mickey Mouse ears and a delicious-looking cream cake. Shortly after, she confirmed she had arrived in Paris with a snap of their luggage going into a black cab. Molly's experience with flying hasn't come without its backlash, with the former Love Island star claiming that she 'can't win'. She famously received copious amounts of backlash back in March 2023 when she went on a ski holiday to Courchevel in France to celebrate her friend's 30th birthday, and another time when she took a solo trip to Ibiza. The star received comments including 'terrible', 'do better' and 'unnecessary'. Shortly after taking a private jet, Molly was slammed for flying with RyanAir for her sister's hen do. Molly addressed the criticism on her YouTube channel, where she said, 'People talking about how they thought it was crazy that I booked my sister a Ryanair flight to take her on her hen do. They're like 'I can't believe Molly booked a Ryanair flight for her and her sister's friends when a few weeks before she got her friend a jet' Molly continued, "The amount of stick and the amount of intense comments I got from doing that treat for Taylor's birthday and getting the jet, made me think I probably won't ever do that ever again. It takes away that specialness of that experience because the reaction is just, so not worth it." However, it appears Molly is risking further backlash on her latest adventure with her private jet to Disneyland. Molly's holiday follows after she opened up about her health and detailed a recent issue which led her to be admitted into A&E. Speaking on her YouTube channel, Molly revealed she thought she had a blood clot after not moving around much on a flight. She detailed her symptoms, including a swollen, painful leg, which led her to seek help. After waiting in A&E for hours and being seen by the doctors, the star confirmed that she doesn't have a blood clot and feels 'fine' now.

What's more vacuous than an endless vacuum? It's Lauren Sanchez and Katy Perry's party in space
Well, I watched every second of the buildup, flight and aftermath of the first Blue Origin all-female space trip. You've heard of one small step for man? This was one giant leap backwards for womankind. I'm kidding, I'm kidding! What could be more empowering or something than watching Lauren Sánchez make going to space sound like brunch with the girrrrrls. Sally Ride could never. Anyway, if you missed this, Jeff Bezos's fiancee took an 11-minute trip to the edge of space on one of his Blue Origin craft on Monday, alongside some all-female passengers – sorry, 'crew' – who included CBS anchor Gayle King and pop star Katy Perry. So yes: the Woman's World video is no longer the most plastic feminist thing Katy's done. Given the mixture of freebie rides and seats sold to the super-rich, the thing people always say about Blue Origin tickets is that prices range from zero to $28m dollars. A bit like a seat on a RyanAir flight to Tallinn. But these spots were all personally gifted by Bezos and Sanchez because this was an Important Mission. Which also meant the whole thing was exclusively documented by Blue Origin's Pravda-like web channel. Here, the anchors and reporters kept explaining that – unlike when men went to space in the past – this mission was all about emotions. But look, it's great that we're valorising emotions above all things, because it gives me permission to say how very much I hated this entire, hilariously vacuous spectacle. Lauren already bills herself as a children's author, helicopter pilot, journalist and philanthropist, and kept being told she was adding 'astronaut' to the world's longest multi-hyphenate. How did she find the trip? 'I don't really have the words for this, like … ?' OK but can you at least try? 'I can't put it into words but I looked out the window and we got to see the moon'. Back at the viewing platform in the West Texas desert, commentary was provided by, among others, Kris Jenner and a bottom-tier Kardashian (Khloé). Khloé glossed the moment of landing with the words: 'it's literally so hard to explain right now'. Other insights? 'There's one woman whose grandfather is back there and he is 92 and they didn't even have transportation back then.' I mean, the guy was literally pre-horse. Historic scenes. Amid extremely stiff competition, the most hardcore gibberish emanated from Perry, who served up an entire word salad bar involving the 'feminine divine' and being 'super connected to love'. 'It's about making space for future woman,' she explained. 'It's about taking up space.' Imagine going to actual space and talking instead about therapy-speak 'space'. When Buzz Aldrin beheld the surface of the moon, he described it as 'magnificent desolation'. Honestly, if he wanted to feel desolation he could have just tuned into this corner of West Texas on Monday afternoon. When a Stem advocate came for her post-flight interview, we got to see the apparently lobotomised reporter shriek: 'How do you look perfect after just going to space?!' In truth, how the women looked had been an overwhelming part of the buildup, and by their own design. In an Elle magazine joint interview with the passengers, Lauren showed off the hot space suits she'd personally commissioned, inquiring rhetorically: 'Who would not get glam before the flight?' 'Space is going to finally be glam,' agreed Perry. 'Let me tell you something. If I could take glam up with me, I would do that. We are going to put the 'ass' in astronaut.' A former Nasa rocket scientist said: 'I also wanted to test out my hair and make sure that it was OK. So I skydived in Dubai with similar hair to make sure I would be good – took it for a dry run.' Still want more? Because there was SO much of it. 'We're going to have lash extensions flying in the capsule!' explained Lauren. 'I think it's so important for people to see us like that,' explained a civil rights activist. 'This dichotomy of engineer and scientist, and then beauty and fashion. We contain multitudes. Women are multitudes. I'm going to be wearing lipstick.' Ooof. I always thought space travel was futuristic, but this was the first time it came off as travelling back in time, in this case using their little capsule to take us back to the most ludicrous inanities of 2010s girlboss feminism. Ultimately, it felt like a sign of the times that everything was about personal growth rather than affording any new understanding of wider humanity. As Gayle King put it: 'I'm so proud of me right now'. Everyone, bar none, talked in whatever trite solipsism language has been reduced to by a permanent diet of social media self-care. It all made me realise how much I miss humans not permanently crying on TV, and being able to find words that don't sound like they could be printed above a picture of a crossroads sign on Instagram, or maybe some sandy footprints on a beach. Having oh-my-godded her way through some pure gibberish, Lauren eventually announced that she'd learned: 'We're all in this together. We're so connected.' Agreed. In which spirit, please please please could Amazon pay full and fair tax in all the territories in which it, one of the world's three biggest companies, operates? Such an act of connection truly would be your and Jeff's gift to our planet that you apparently just got some kind of a perspective on while Katy Perry was floating around during the zero-gravity bit pushing towards the camera a butterfly printed with her next tour dates. Why do I feel like the most meaningful thing to come out of this will be a three-minute song called Space Cowgirl? Forget the right stuff. This was the wrong stuff.

24 Products That'll Help You Fit Everything You Need For A Spring Vacation In Just A Carry-On
1. A capacious travel backpack to make the most out of your personal item (just make sure you can still stuff it under the seat). It has two laptop sleeves, a secret anti-theft pocket, a USB charging port, a shoe compartment, and a bag to isolate your dirty clothes or keep liquids away from your electronics. This thing is like the LeBron of backpacks. 🏀 Promising reviews:"Lots of space. I bought this for a business trip so I could carry my laptop and clothes for two nights and not check a bag at the airport. This worked perfectly and looks nice." — Angie J "This is the second bag we ordered. It holds sooooo much. We use a carry-on and this bag for our trips to Florida. No more checking bags." — Georgette Get it from Amazon for $20.39+ (available in four sizes and 38 styles). 2. A neck pillow you can stuff with clothing so you can bring some emergency underwear and extra tops and bottoms in case one of those "what if" moments actually happens on your trip. Some reviewers have fit 4–5 outfits in this, making it really helpful for getting around strict carry-on requirements! Check out a TikTok showing how someone used a similar neck pillow to just take that and a personal item onto a RyanAir flight that was charging for hand luggage. Promising review: "I bought this for my son for his trip to Europe. He was only taking a carry-on for a three-week trip. This proved to be very good quality, sturdy and functional. He used it as a neck pillow. It was the perfect size and soft enough. Very easy to transport by attaching it to his luggage and then use on the plane. He stuffed it with clothes for extra space and loved how comfortable it was to use as a neck pillow. Best purchase I made for his trip." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.95. 3. A Stow-N-Go travel organizer that's basically a portable closet. You can arrange everything while you pack, and when you get to your destination, just hang it up and that's it! You'll have perfectly organized clothes for the whole trip. Plus, it has a zipper compartment at the bottom for putting all your dirty clothes in so they don't get mixed with clean items (forcing you to end up just washing everything when you get home). Promising review:"I just love it. I travel a lot. Now I don't have to hang anything up but my organizer. I can see what I pack and where everything is. Just love it. I can easily fit seven days' worth of outfits and three pairs of shoes in a carry-on suitcase. Just great." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors). 4. *Plus* a set of packing cubes to help you squeeze in more by keeping everything neat and compressed. You'll be amazed at how much you can fit in your luggage, and since everything is organized into little sections, it'll be a snap to unpack and get on with your trip! Promising review:"These packing cubes are the best. I use them for long weekends or two-week trips. They help me pack things as I would use them and locate what I need inside my suitcase, especially on trips where we change hotels every couple of days and don't unpack into the hotel closet." — Pat Get a set of eight packing cubes (also comes with a laundry bag) from Amazon for $14.44 (available in 17 colors and a set of six). 5. A pack of vacuum-free space-saving compression bags so you can bring all your bulky sweaters and jackets on that trip to Scotland. These are great for cramming as much as you can (and then some) into your carry-on, AND they make it much easier to sort through your bag to pull out toiletries or other items for security. Emma Lord / BuzzFeed Just pack in your clothes, roll up the bag, and watch as the excess air is squeezed out. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord 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." Promising review: "I travel monthly for work, usually gone for 4–5 days. Before these, I would have to check a bag. Dress shirts and pants roll up nicely and stay wrinkle free. It's tempting to want to over-stuff these, but if you're packing golf shirts or cloths with 'slippery' fabric, they slide out of the top of the bag as you get close to the end. The clips take a minute to get used to, but after a couple of times zipping up the bags, it's pretty easy." — BigSkinny Get a set of eight from Amazon for $15.98. 6. Or a pack of vacuum seal bags if manually squeezing out the air feels like too much work. These come with a travel-sized pump, so you won't need to worry about finding a vacuum in your hotel to pack for the trip home. Promising review: "Bought these bags for traveling and they work GREAT. They suck every last bit of air out of the bag, so I was able to fit more items and travel with just a carry-on, which is always a plus!" — ITSJUSTME Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four sizes and various packs). 7. A garment and travel bag set so you can maximize your carry-on capacity. It transforms from a hanging garment bag into a roomy duffel with an anti-theft lock to keep your belongings in your possession (where they BELONG). You'll free up so much space in your suitcase, you may be tempted to pack even more. Beauty Goodies is a small business that specializes in chic storage and travel accessories. Promising reviews: "This garment bag is an exceptional value for the money. Well built, top quality materials, including 'beefy' zippers, should hold up well for airline travel. Minimal wrinkles if any in garments, and a cavernous bag for storing shoes and other items for a trip. Added bonus, it fits easily in the plane overhead storage, similar in size to a standard roller bag. I highly recommend this product." — Kindle Customer "Used this bag as my carryon during recent trip to Panama. It fit in overhead bin just fine, it held approximately seven outfits in the garment section and then another four or five outfits and three pairs of sandals in this bag. Beautiful way to carry a week's worth of clothing without checking bag. Leather is nice and soft." — Paula Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in two colors). 8. A fast-drying microfiber towel you can fold into a compact square and fit into the smallest of carry-ons. It's perfect for that upcoming spring break trip to Cancún! Promising review:"I bought this for a trip to Mexico, during which we moved from pool to beach to ocean a lot. This towel was the perfect travel companion to keep me somewhat dry and get me to the next stop. I especially appreciated taking it on our snorkeling trip because it could fit easily in a waterproof bag with my other things and not get wet. It was a great blanket when it was chilly as well. And it dries so quickly so you can be ready for your next adventure. I like the bag it comes in to keep it contained within your tote bag too." — dmw Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in 18 colors and six sizes). 9. A pack of mini perfume atomizers so you can still rock your signature scent of Dior J'adore while leaving the full-size bottle at home. These are super easy to fill, and reviewers love how the fine spray gives a nice, even application. To fill the atomizers, remove the spray cap from your perfume, then align the bottom of the atomizer with the bottle and repeatedly press it down until it's filled (but don't *overfill* it). Promising review: "I usually don't leave reviews but this was so worth the money. I'm traveling for the first time in 12 years and squeezing everything into one bag and a carry-on. This works for perfume, but I had the great idea of using it for things like my setting spray for when I travel. Game changer. Obviously only has about 15–30 sprays depending on how much you fill it, but this is great for a vacay or a weekend getaway other than perfumes!" — AnnCRosas Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in packs of four or five in various colors). 10. A 2-in-1 hair tool that curls and straightens so you can achieve the perfect balance of texture and shine with just one tool. It's easy to pack for trips and dual-voltage so you can have gorgeous hair no matter what country you're visiting. If you're traveling to another country, just be sure to pack a plug adapter, and you'll be all set to use this styling tool while abroad! Promising review:" Traveled with just a carry-on and personal item from USA to Italy and this worked perfectly. Convenient size for luggage and worked perfectly as a curler or straightener! My hair looked cute the entire trip so I was happy!" — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors). 11. A Subtl Beauty Stak for condensing up to 10 makeup products into one small stack. You can customize yours with anything from lip tints to face powder. And as convenient as it is for travel, it's also perfect to keep in your purse for any on-the-go touch-ups! Each stack also includes a mirror lid, a base, and a mini brush. Promising review:"I absolutely love how compact this product is. I have been pleasantly surprised at how natural the makeup feels and I love the natural look it provides. I originally purchased it for traveling, but have been using it daily and love it!" – Paula Bowie Get the Starter Stak from Subtl Beauty for $60 (available in 19 tones), or customize your own stack starting at $12 per layer, with up to 10 product types available. 12. A solid Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen that's carry-on friendly and works just as well as spray-on or lotion sunscreens. Now you can enjoy your sunny vacation without burning up or spending waaay too much on sunscreen while you're spring breaking in Hawaii! Amazon Promising review: "This was my go-to sunscreen stick for YEARS. I don't even know why I stopped using it… I recently repurchased and remembered why I loved it so much. As a dry skin girly, it really helps keep my skin protected from the sun but also hydrated. Love, love, love!" — Kateri Brianna Get it from Amazon for $9.88. 13. A roll-up straw sun visor to further help protect your beautiful face from sunburn while doubling as a cute accessory that elevates your outfit. It's very compact when folded up *and* retains its shape when un-rolled, so it won't look all droopy and wrinkly once you get to your destination. Promising review:" I get a lot of compliments when I wear this hat. I actually saw it on a friend, and it looked amazing, so I had to go and buy it. I also love how easily it rolls up for travel. In the past, I've had hats that were much more delicate. This hat seems to be resistant to bending out of shape, which is exactly what I needed." — Schiccatano Get it from Amazon for $15.29 (available in 13 colors). 14. A pair of reusable waterproof shoe covers so those white sneakers you wear every day can stay white instead of getting soaked and covered in mud from all the rain. (There are only so many pairs of shoes you can bring on a trip, so keeping them clean is high priority!) These have a handy elastic tie at the ankle so they stay securely on and don't let any water in. Check the handy sizing chart on the product listing so you can find your ideal fit! Promising reviews: "Exactly as described. The size was exactly right for my shoe size. Perfect for a trip, as they take up very little space in a suitcase and work quite well to keep the rain out and puddles away from shoes." — Caroljean Get a pair from Amazon for $15.89 (available in unisex sizes S–4XL and five styles). 15. A compact eight-compartment pill organizer to avoid cramming a bunch of medication and supplement bottles into your bag, effectively taking up all the space you needed for socks. Psst — if you don't fill up all the compartments with pills, it's also great for stashing your earrings during travel! (Shoutout to this TikToker for the hack.) Promising review:"My husband and I travel a lot and take a number of prescription drugs. It was always a hassle accessing our medication when needed, so I purchased this organizer to make things easier. I used a label maker and labeled each little compartment and it has performed wonderfully. I highly recommend this organizer to anyone who travels and needs medications throughout the day." — Jacqueline Get a three-pack from Amazon for $8.47 (available in two colored sets). They don't sell them in singles, but if you don't want three, here's a similar option. 16. A teensy, on-the-go Gillette Venus razor with a small protective case that keeps the blades fresh. The rubber grip makes the handle so easy to hold, despite its miniature size! It comes with one handle and one blade refill! And the mini handle will fit almost any Venus blade refill, which is a major plus. Promising review: "This was the perfect small travel razor for traveling abroad. I was in a location with mostly outdoor showers, and the case was super handy for keeping lizards and bugs away from my razor. The case also has drainage holes, which make it easy to pack and transport. Highly recommend!" — Asha L. Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 17. Or a 3-in-1 travel razor that's got it all: a refillable spray bottle for easy skin prep, a shea butter moisturizing bar, and two triple-blade razor cartridges — everything you need for smooth, on-the-go shaving in one compact, travel-ready kit. Promising review:" I recently traveled and had no problem with TSA. I like the moisturizer; you can just rub it in. If you have coarse hair, the blades may dull sooner than later. I preferred just to wet my leg and then spray the water. It seemed to get more of a lather for me. Super convenient!!" — Western Pa mom/grandma Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in pink and blue). 18. A pack of Neutrogena makeup remover towelettes because unfortunately, you can't always bring your entire skincare routine on trips, but at the very least, you can always take off your makeup and hit the hay with a clean face. They're much more compact than any cleansing liquid or balm; honestly, you could just throw these in your travel bag and keep them in there indefinitely — and a huge bonus, they *won't* explode all over your stuff. Promising review:"Just what I needed. This worked perfectly on a recent business trip. Felt refreshing and left my skin feeling soft." — Glenda E Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $6.88 (also available in a larger pack). 19. Or a makeup-removing cloth that can take the place of your large (read: *not* TSA-friendly) bottle of liquid makeup remover or bulky pack of wipes. To cleanse your face, all you need is this and some water! Amazon, Promising review: "This product...I have no clue how this works, but it does! Let me start by saying I was wearing a full face of makeup. I mean foundation, contour highlight, eyeliner, seriously the whole nine yards. All I did was wet it and wiped my face, my jaw literally dropped. This is hands-down my favorite makeup remover. The best part is that they are reusable so you don't have to keep buying those expensive disposables that leave your face feeling greasy." — Heather Griffith Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in six colors and in packs of three or six). 20. Some Tide sink packets allowing you to wash your smelly clothes in the sink so they don't stink up your bag. These can easily fit in your toiletries bag — even when it's packed to the brim — and you'll be so glad you brought them when you run out of clean underwear. Tide Elizabeth is a big fan of these: "Each pack comes with three packets. And, because they *are* liquid, they'll easily slide into the side of your toiletries bag. I've packed these on international trips to much success!" Promising review: "I bought these just in case. I'm the overly prepared type. And then I was sitting there in Florence eating this incredible sandwich for lunch, and it all came pouring out the bottom on to my linen pants. Olive oil, liquid from sundried tomatoes.... FUUUUUUUUDGE. Luckily we were eating in our room, so I immediately stripped my pants off, put them in the tub and dumped in two of these Tide packets. We'd packed carry-on only, so I needed these pants frequently! The Tide saved the day. They also came in handy to refresh my husband's socks after walking around in the heat all day. GET THEM. It's an easy pack and a no-brainer." — NolaForever Get nine packs from Amazon for $6.99 (available in two scents and four pack sizes). 21. A TSA-friendly toiletries set that you can fill with your tried-and-true faves instead of spending more money on travel-size versions. These are reusable and leakproof, so your products (and other stuff in your bag!) will stay protected. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly owns and loves this set: "It includes the zippered bag, four soft silicone bottles with leakproof caps, three compact jars, and two toothbrush caps. I've used this set on more than five trips and for trips when I don't require body wash or shampoo (like to visit my parents) I use the extra room in the bag to shove in all my beauty products and daily contacts. Plus! It comes with labels that stay on the containers really well despite my thoroughly washing these containers between trips." Promising review: "If it wasn't for me forgetting them in the hotels, I wouldn't have to buy more. This is my third set and I love these things! I'm a flight attendant and these are easy to fill, use, and pack!" — Raena Hill Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three variations). 22. Or just a clear TSA-approved toiletry bag to keep all your liquid products together. Plus, there's nothing worse than frantically trying to get all your products in and out of your luggage — and this is so much sturdier than a Ziploc bag. Amazon Promising review: "I am a flight attendant and it's perfect for my international flights going through security. I love the handle, easy to pull out of my suitcase." — Kristi Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 11 colors). 23. A foldable jewelry organizer with an earring panel, necklace holders, padded ring rolls, and zippered compartments to organize all your different accessories. It's made from soft quilted cotton that compresses nicely so you can squeeze it in with everything else. Promising review:"My favorite traveling item! Before I was sticking jewelry in ziplock bags and in my suitcase and I'd lose them in there or they'd tangle and I was limited on what I could bring. I bring this with me every time we go out of town for business." — Kristy and Jose Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors). 24. Or a splurge-worthy set of Cadence Capsules that stick together ~magnetically~ and can be used for much more than just pills. They'll help you condense so you're bringing what you actually need (and not overpacking); plus, they're leakproof and incredibly sturdy so you can fill 'em with whatever: creams, vitamins, small jewelry — truly anything small that you want to keep safe. The "daily routine" set includes four medium and three small capsules as well as magnetic, interchangeable labels for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturizer, cleanser, a pill icon, and a blank tile. They also offer skincare, bodycare, haircare, and pill case sets as well as extenders that increase the size of the capsule! And if you fall in love with these and *really* want to customize your collection, head to their site to build your own unique set. Cadence is an AAPI woman-owned small business that was founded by Steph Hon with the goal of eliminating single-use travel-sized plastics. The containers are made from recycled ocean-bound plastic. Promising review: "These containers are perfectly sized for all my travel needs, whether it's skincare products, vitamins, or even small jewelry pieces. They fit neatly into my carry-on, saving space and keeping everything organized. No more messy toiletry bags or digging around for tiny items — everything has its place with Cadence. The quality of the materials is top-notch. The containers snap together securely, making it easy to keep them organized and prevent any spills. It's such a clever and practical feature that adds a touch of luxury to the whole experience. Plus, it's oddly satisfying to hear the little click when they snap into place! "I'll be honest — the price did give me pause at first. These containers are definitely an investment, but I can confidently say they're worth it. The peace of mind they provide, knowing my products are safe and secure during travel, is priceless. Plus, the high-quality build means they'll last for many trips to come, making them a smart long-term investment." — Randy G. Get the daily routine set from Amazon for $138 (available in five colors and other sets).
