1. A helpful checklist so you can plan out everything you need to pack and not worry about getting that feeling of "what am I forgetting?"
Honestly, that feeling haunts me no matter if I go somewhere for a weekend or a month.
Promising review: "So helpful! I travel a lot, and so does my husband, and this pad makes packing so much easier and stress free. The list is quite extensive, while I probably will never need to pack all of it for one trip, it covers everything for a business trip or a pleasure trip. I don't worry about what I forgot to pack anymore. Use a pencil, erase it when done, and one sheet will last 3-4 trips." —Cktine
Get it from Amazon for $7.
2. A set of eight organizing bags each with a different label on it so you know exactly where everything is packed. That way you don't have to dig through your entire suitcase looking for your favorite shirt when you're in a rush and are about to miss your dinner reservation. Pus, the included laundry bag ensures that your clean and dirty clothes don't mix together during the trip and can simply take the dirty laundry bag right to the washer as soon as you get home.
Bag-all is a woman-owned small business founded by Jennifer Jansch in 2013 to create beautifully designed bags that could be reused. They offer a wide variety of organizing bags, travel bags, tote bags, gift bags, and more. This packing set includes three different-sized packing cubes, a laundry bag, shoe bag, tech case, a large divided case for socks and underwear, and a "various" bag for anything else you need to pack.
Promising review: "I used to have trouble unpacking from a trip after I returned home. Now, whether I’m packing to go or unpacking upon returning, it makes my life so much easier. Everything has a special place and it looks sharp!" —Heather L.
Get the set from Bag-all for $120.
3. A heat-resistant silicone mat so you can wrap up your hot curling iron and straightener and throw 'em in your bag as you run out the door to catch a cab to the airport because you're late...again.
Promising review: "This is great for travel! I love that I no longer have to wait for my straightener to cool down all the way when we are traveling. Now, I can let it cool a little then wrap it up and pack it away, saving me tons of time. I love that it has the slit to keep the cover on the iron. I also like to rest the straightener on it any time I use it to protect our marble countertops. Definitely recommend it!" —IDesign
Get it from Amazon for $10.95 (available in pink and gray and as a mat or a pouch).
4. A Béis seatback organizer that keeps all your in-flight essentials (phone, e-reader, magazines, etc.) in the pocket so you don't have to dig around in your bag on the floor the whole flight.
The seat-back pocket on a plane is great and all, but with all the random magazines and other items, your stuff can get lost. This little thing has a hidden magnetic closure, an interior zip pocket, and four slip pockets to keep your essentials close to you and ready for whenever you need them.
Promising review: "This is a new must-have for flying. I loved that it keeps my essentials organized not only in the seat back but also in my large tote. My husband laughed at me when I pulled it out of my bag but was soon jealous I had easy access to everything I wanted and needed during the flight." —Shelby D.
Get it from Béis for $24 (available in black and beige).
5. An external battery so powerful that it can charge your phone up to three times before it needs to be charged itself (now that's convenient).
Promising review: "I have used it for years. EXCELLENT!!! It has made my travel so much easier, as I don’t have to worry about my phone battery any more. Thank you for making this excellent product! It is small and compatible." —Amazoni
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in four colors).

6. A pack of collapsible pails to bring along on your next beach vacation so you don't have to ~shell~ out too much money. Since the pails collapse, they'll take up way less space in your luggage and can be used over and over and over again.
Promising review: "We travel a lot, carry on back pack only style. I try to find ways to not over stuff my bag as I don’t like to check bags. With this collapsing bucket, my son is now able to take beach toys to the beach. Before we didn’t pack sand bucket because they took up too much space. These are perfect for travel." —Khrys Monet
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes).
7. An Ethique shampoo bar so you can avoid using whatever they have at the hotel and also not worry about adding more liquids to your smaller-than-you-always-remember TSA-approved bag.
Promising review: "This was just an experiment, but I'm glad I tried this! I've been trying to find ways to buy less plastic, and this eliminates shampoo bottles, and I figured it would be much easier for traveling than liquid shampoo. But I didn't expect to like it even better than my other shampoos. It also seems like it will last quite a while. I've been using it regularly, and the bar is almost the same size and when I bought it." —Melusine
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 12 scents).
We've got you covered with some other small and useful travel products, BTW!
8. A Hackwith Design House shirt actually made to be worn six different ways so you can totally pack light and still feel like you're not wearing the exact same outfit every day of the trip.
Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small business that creates made-to-order apparel. This shirt can be worn as a V-neck, off-the-shoulder, boatneck, V-back, and even open as a jacket. And the color is simple, which means it can be paired well with many different bottoms.
Promising review: "I’m being honest when I tell you this is the most 'worth-it' top around. I read a review from some frequent flyer who claims this is her go-to for flying. She said aside from the top’s flexibility – which allows much less packing as the top itself looks and behaves like four shirts and a jacket – it’s a savior on planes because it allows you to get into a usually overheated plane, and to weather the transition to iceberg, ho! that happens about twenty minutes into most flights, and it holds its shape and looks great. I was skeptical, as I do not have the money to blow on someone else’s opinion, but my husband told me to try it. I have the same issues with temps, and he’s probably self-protecting so as not to hear me complain so much. Long story short, I got it. It’s a gorgeous fabric despite my usually hating the ribbed thing. Not for my pleasure, thank you. But it’s nice. REALLY nice. Yes, it’s extraordinarily flexible, and yes, it’s like a jacket, and Yes, Virginia. There is a travel shirt Santa Claus. Ordering in the off-white now. Glad I read the article, and glad I bought the shirt. You should too." —Mary B.
Get it from Hackwith Design House for $125 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and in five colors).
9. A backpack specifically designed for travel that puts all other backpacks you've used before to shame. This genius backpack has a main compartment that fully unzips, meaning you can get to your things easier, but it also has a laptop sleeve, zippered pockets, padded straps, trolley passthrough (to hook it on your suitcase handle), and compression straps so you can fit up to five outfits in it. Talk about a bag that can basically do it all.
BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Chelsea Stuart says: "I just bought this bag for a five-day cross-country road trip and it came in so clutch. First, I flew with it and was able to stow it under my seat so not only did I not have to check a bag, but I didn't even have to deal with overhead storage. Then, it traveled through 10+ states and various hotels with me. My absolute favorite parts of the bag are the compression straps and the fact that it fully unzips. This makes it *SO* easy to pack, unpack, and take through airport security. I was able to fit ~four pairs of leggings, four T-shirts, two sets of pajamas, two pairs of shorts, two bathing suits, a sweatshirt, a week's worth of undergarments, travel toiletries, an iPad, my wallet, and more odds and ends."
Get it from Nordstrom for $78 (available in beige and black) or from Béis for $78 (available in black and beige).
10. An anti-blister balm for when you're in a ~pinch~ and want to make sure that you don't get blisters from walking all day.
Promising review: "I don't normally have trouble with blisters or pain from my work shoes, but I travel regularly to Washington, DC, for work. I walk a lot while I'm there, including when it's hot and muggy in the summer, and any kind of shoe I've tried gives me blisters when I walk five miles a day with extremely sweaty feet and no socks. I thought my only options were to coat my feet in Band-Aids or bite the bullet and start wearing tights or socks in the heat, but then I found this stuff. I just got back from a week in DC in shoes that have given me blisters before, and my feet are completely fine. I did reapply in the evenings going out for dinner, but otherwise, just a few swipes on the problem spots and I was ready to go, with no painful rubbing. And, of course, the size is convenient for travel and to keep in my bag in case I do need to reapply." —L. Kelly
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
11. And some anti-chafe balm to protect your inner thighs (or any other part of your body, really) from excessive rubbing while you're out on your adventure.
Promising review: "I was in Arizona during during a continuing 100+ heat wave on vacay tour. I didn’t use it the first day and ended up with rubbed thighs due to rough seams on shorts and excessive heat. I then used this everyday without additional rubbing rash. This stuff is awesome!!!! I will not leave home again on travel without it. It was not wet or tacky, just glides very nicely. It held up in 113 degree heat. Without it, it would have been a very different vacation. Thank you for making this product!!!!" —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five sizes).
12. An 11-piece travel accessory set so you have a way to transport your favorite beauty products and don't have to spend a crazy amount of money on travel-sized options. The set includes both bottle, spray, pump, and small container options, which means all your fave products will have a home while you're away.
Kitsch is a woman-founded company that specializes in hair accessories and tools to make every day a good hair day! This set includes a spray bottle, two pump bottles, two mini jars, three flat pouch bottles, one reusable travel pouch, a mini funnel, mini spatula, and mimi pipette.
Promising review: "I love this! It's such a great price/bundle for someone who has to travel quite often for work like me. They’re so easy to clean and very compact- it makes it so easy to be on the go, but also be able to do my self-care routine wherever I am!" —Alexis P.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sizes and two colors) or from Kitsch for $28.95 (originally $33).
13. A portable rain hood you can wear with any jacket so you don't have to try and pack both your cute and practical jackets when you're tight on space.
All it is is a hood attached to a vest you wear under *any* jacket to protect yourself (and your hair) from whatever the weather has planned.
Promising review: "I love this! The quality is very nice and it fits great. Wore 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).
14. A Trtl neck pillow if you can never get your neck comfortable enough to sleep longer than five minutes (before you head falls over and wakes you up). This will support your neck so you can actually get some shut-eye. Plus, it's more compact than one of the filled neck pillows, meaning it will take up less space in your luggage when you're not sleeping.
Promising review: "I love it. It may take some initial time to get used to the odd structure and concept, but once you find your comfortable point with this pillow — its amazing. I typically do not like neck pillows, as they don't really support my face, and my neck hurts eventually. This pillow exactly supports your face weight, hence you can comfortably sleep without a sore and stressful neck. It made travel easier! It can be used in cars as well.." —Hitesh
Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in three colors and in a junior size).
15. A Tile Performance pack tracker you can attach to your keys, wallet, headphones, or even your luggage so you can keep track of where everything is at all times. It will give you a bit of peace of mind seeing all your valuables tracked through the smartphone app.
The performance pack comes with one pro and one slim tracker.
Promising review: "I cannot stress how may times having these tiles have helped my family. I purchased a unit for my husband, and after just one demonstration, he was so sold. He tells and shows everyone. We’ve now given sets to two of our four kids, and they’re loving them as well. They work well. Traveling back from Florida this spring, I left my wallet at a restaurant in South Carolina. Two days later, I noticed it was missing. I located where it was exactly, contacted the restaurant, and had it back within two hours. Panic had set in but nothing had been taken. If I hadn’t had a tile, I would have never had any idea where it was. Now with the ability to change out batteries, great feature. You can’t go wrong!!" —C. Drysdale
Get the starter pack from Amazon for $59.99.
16. A travel belt made so you can attach any bag to the top of your suitcase because sometimes the best carry-on bags are not designed with that handy sleeve on the back. With this, you won't have to lug your bag through the airport when your gate is the absolute last one at the end of the longest corridor.
Cincha Travel is a small Cali-based biz started by a BIPOC couple who makes these adjustable straps from vegan leather. The brand also donates 100 airline miles for each purchase, which are used to reconnect separated migrant families. The travel belt is adjustable to 38 inches so it will fit most bags.
Promising review: "I love this! I am constantly struggling between holding my jacket and two carry-ons. This is the perfect solution! I can’t wait to start using it when I’m back to regular business travel." —Allison
Get it from Cincha Travel for $40 (available in 13 colors and patterns, can be monogrammed for an additional $12).
17. A waterproof backseat cover here to protect your car from all the dirt and hair that comes with traveling with your pooch. It easily slips over the seats and gives them a place to comfortably hang out on your journey.
Promising review: "This works great for my three little dogs while traveling, and saves my seats from having fur and dirt. When not using, I just fold it up and store it in the trunk. Putting it back in rear seat is super fast and easy." —Heather W.
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes).

18. A luggage-mounted cup caddy so you have a place to hold your coffee (and water or snacks!) while you make your way through the never-ending terminal to find your gate. You'll never spill your coffee while trying to answer a text again!
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, I dropped and spilled my drink everywhere when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket. It was a nightmare! This time, I bought this cup holder to 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 $14.99 (available in 15 colors and patterns).
19. A super-cool duffel bag that actually starts out as a garment bag, so you only have to pack one bag with everything you need *and* not worry about your suits or other clothes getting wrinkled during the trip.
Plus, the bag is water-resistant and has two exterior zip pockets, two interior shoe pockets, and a padded handle wrap. Yes, this one bag really can do it all.
Promising review: "I purchased this in preparation for some day trips for work and it sure did the job. My suit stayed crisp, and I was able to fit everything I needed. The bag feels very durable, which I can't say for some of my other bags that cost five times the amount. Although many bags have a separate compartment for shoes, be careful not to overlook the importance of this feature when shopping for luggage. The last thing you want is to wake up and get dressed, only to find that something on the bottom of your shoes found its way onto your clothes. The side pockets make it easy to get essentials out of your bag, including when it's in the overhead bin on a plane." —Ronald
Get it from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in five colors).
Here are some more useful and organized bags!
20. A JetKids ride-on carry-on suitcase I'm pretty sure is about to become your new favorite product for traveling with kids. Not only does it have wheels, but it's designed so your toddler can sit on it, making it easy for you to wheel them through the airport. Then when you get on the flight, it easily transforms into a leg rest or in-flight bed to keep your kids comfy while in the air. How neat is that???
It's recommended for kids ages 3–7 and fits most standard economy seats. Plus, it has an adjustable strap so you can carry it over your shoulder, a top handle, and a mattress inside that can be removed and used while in the flight. Parents have even used this product while in the airport waiting for the flight to keep their kids comfy and happy.
Promising review: "Traveling with a toddler is always a challenge. but comfort is key, and this little magic package makes the airport trip that much smoother. We can store small toys, pillow, and one throw blankets for our family of three. Great idea and great buy. We will be using this until it breaks." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $199.
21. A pair of shoe covers you can slip over your favorite sneakers to make them waterproof so you don't have to pack yet another pair of shoes that most definitely will not fit in your carryon.
Promising review: "My husband and I were going to Alaska and we wanted to take boots with us. Long story short after packing everything, we found that our boots were weighing us down, and we took them out. Meanwhile my husband came across these shoe covers while he was flipping through the Amazon pages, and we decided to order each of us a pair. These shoe covers were perfect! They are lightweight, come in a variety of colors, and easily slip over any style of shoe. They come in their own resealable pouch and tuck perfectly in our backpacks. We used them in the rain, in the snow, and in the mud. They easily rinse off and can be refolded to go back in their pouch. Best of all, they are affordable and look good too!" —Margaret A. Dreshman
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and eight colors).
22. A sleeping mask designed with a 3D-contoured shape, which just means there's more space where your eyes go so there's no pressure on them (you can also even open them). It still provides total darkness so you can try and catch some ZZZs when you have a 6 a.m. flight you had to get up at 3 a.m. to catch.
Plus, it comes with a set of earplugs to block out all the noise around you!
Promising review: "I have been sleeping with a sleeping mask for years now. I like the complete darkness around me when I close my eyes. It’s just so much easier to relax and fall asleep. But all the masks I have had, there have been irritating things about them like shot out the light completely. Too tight elastic, or scratches. But these are just beyond amazing. First of all; the elastic is of great quality. It’s thick wide and adjustable. Second, the fabric is so soft. There is a cavity inside the sleeping mask for the eye so my eyelids is not in contact; GREAT PLUS. I travel a lot and uses my sleeping mask on the plain. All others have made my makeup look horrible after I wake up, but these; you can even see I closed my eyes. I cannot recommend these enough. They changed my sleeping habits, no irritation and no light coming through. I absolutely love mine! :)" —Anette Normark
Get the set from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).
23. A Dagne Dover duffle bag made out of neoprene and mesh for a super soft bag you'll be able to fit SO much stuff in that you'll never travel without it again.
I've had this duffle for years now, and it's one of my favorite things I own (and still looks the same as the day I got it). I'm not exaggerating when I say it is the PERFECT carry-on bag. The neoprene fabric makes it so it can fit so much and slide perfectly under the seat in front of you. Yes, even the XL sizes fits under the seat. I love that while everyone is fighting for overhead bin space, I have everything I could put in a carry-on suitcase in the duffle sitting at my feet. The pockets inside make sure everything has a place and stays organized. And one of the coolest features is the small outside pocket that fits your phone perfectly. It's also a great bag for a weekend trip as a duffle. I let my mom borrow mine when she traveled across Europe a couple of months ago, and then I had to get her her own for Christmas because she joined the #TeamDagneDover travel team.
Get the XL size from Dagne Dover for $230 (available seven colors and four smaller sizes).
24. A flying USB port with four places to plug in all your cords so you only need one plug in your bedroom to keep all your electronics (phone, watch, tablet, etc.) at 100% during your whole trip.
Multitasky is a female BIPOC-owned small biz that began in 2020 as a way for founder Julia Xu to create products that were both functional and cute.
Promising review: "What can I say? 😍 I’m obsessed with Multitasky’s blush pink collection! This Flyport is one of my faves — I always need more ports to charge all my devices, from my phone to my watch to my power bank to my AirPods. So convenient and cute!! It's perfect for traveling too because hotels never have enough USB ports!" —Ginger D.
Get it from Multitasky for $20 (originally $25; available in three colors).
25. A waterproof Kindle so you can take as many books as you want on your trip without having your carry-on weight 100 lbs. Plus, you can take your reading anywhere, yes, even INTO the pool. This is a game-changer.
^ Yes, that is me sitting in a pool in Hawaii holding my Kindle over the water without fear or stress that if it falls in, it will break. Truly living my best life.
Promising review: "I LOVE my kindle Paperwhite. I even upload the PDFs I have to read for school onto it and read them on there, because it’s so much nicer to not have to stare at a computer screen to read pages, and pages of a document. I love the Kindle Unlimited as well. That way when I travel, I can just pick a new book, trade it out and start reading something new. It makes traveling lighter so much easier, because I don’t have to grab and carry multiple books, I’ve got all of them right in my hand. The battery lasts FOOOOREVERRRR too! I don’t have to worry about charging it every night. I charge about once a week." —Aryn
Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in 8 and 32 GB and in four colors).
26. A sand-free beach blanket designed so that sand rolls right off it, so you can pack it up and put it back in your luggage without worrying that you'll find sand covering everything else in your suitcase weeks later.
Promising review: "I recently purchased this blanket for a family vacation to Florida, and everyone LOVED it! It's lightweight, big enough for the whole family to lay out on, and the sand rolled right off. One of the things I loved most about it is that it rolled up super compact and light so it was easy to pack! When you are going to the beach with kids, you drag along a lot of equipment! It was nice that this was easy to pack and travel with. Fun fact: If you have one of those canopies to bring to the beach, this blanket fits perfectly under it!" —Megan
Get it from Amazon for $33.97+ (available in two colors).
Or check out our picks for the best beach chairs, including ones that are ideal for traveling.
27. A eye contact kit small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but genius enough to fit a case, tweezers, small solution tube, *and* a mirror so you can take your contacts in and out without having to squish yourself into the tiny airplane bathroom.
28. A reversible packable puffer jacket designed to fold up small into a convenient travel pillow so you don't have to worry about carrying around a super-heavy coat when traveling between different climates. Plus, since you can wear it two different ways, it means you'll have more options with the same amount of space. Amazing!
Promising review: "I had been looking for a bomber jacket for awhile. I came across this one and decided to give it a try. I was more than impressed. It's warm without being too thick. I travel a lot, so I love that it becomes a pillow and saves me loads of packing space. A real steal at the price" —Ian P.
Get it from Summersalt for $95 (available in women's sizes XS–2X and in two colors).
29. A doggie travel bag with a space to hold everything you could possibly need for your pup during the trip. The front pocket folds down and turns into a placemat with silicone food bowls, so your dog can eat their dinner at the exact right time (because that matters even when you're traveling).
Promising review: "I recently got a service dog for a medical condition. I was honestly looking for something like a diaper bag for baby’s except I needed one that could carry the dogs stuff and mine. I needed one I could take to work, when I travel and when we are just out and about. I found this brand searching for almost a week and most of the reviews were good regarding the quality and the amount of storage space. This bag has everything you need for any travel situation. I holds all my stuff. It's definitely worth the money and a wise investment if you travel with your dogs or any animal for that matter." —Christopher Enzor
Get it from Amazon for $56.88+ (also available in black).
30. A stroller so lightweight and compact, it can fit in the overhead bin on a plane. This means you don't have to wait around for it to be retrieved from storage after you deplane. You can just open the stroller and go.
It folds up so small that it was awarded a Guinness World Record in 2014 for the most compact stroller. It can hold kids who weigh up to 55 lbs. and only weighs 9.5 lbs.
Promising review: "We are frequent travelers. I've been on 15 flights with my 17-month-old toddler. I wish I would have bought this a long time ago. It's the best purchase we have ever made. It is sturdy, folds very easy, has a great design, and can literally fit in a reusable grocery bag. Highly recommend!" —Kateryna
Get it from Amazon for $279.95.
31. A HappyLuxe travel wrap designed to be used as both a chic scarf and then as a blanket when it gets super cold on the plane and you want to sleep comfortably.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this wrap!! It is the perfect weight and size for travel. It didn't leave my side on an 11-day backpack trip through Europe and was used as a scarf, blanket, towel, and wrap all through the trip. Fashionable enough to dress up a basic travel day outfit, warm enough to keep away a chill on a cooler night, and light enough to pack away small into a bag or tie around a purse strap. I can't say enough great things! I am buying these as gifts for everyone I know who travels." —Jenn
Get it from Amazon for $44+ (available in six colors).
32. An anti-theft backpack with the main body zipper on the inside (against your back while in use) so you can feel safer knowing that nobody will be able to unzip it when you're in a crowded unfamiliar space.
Not only does the backpack open from the inside, but it also has a phone pocket, document pocket, front zippered pocket, and an exterior side pocket. It's also made of nylon, so it's waterproof and has a strap to change it into a shoulder bag.
Promising review: "I used this bag at the airport and over a trip to Europe for two weeks, and it worked perfectly! I found it so much easier to travel with this over a purse since I could keep my hands free. It was great when shopping and storing any souvenirs I bought! :)" —Laura Granillo
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors).
33. A portable white-noise machine that'll work hard while you sleep at night to block all the noises that come with staying in a hotel room. (Looking at you, elevator and ice machine!!!!!)
Promising review: "WOW! SO much more than what I was expecting for such a small device! We always sleep with a fan, but in the winter, it makes the bedroom too cold sometimes, so we started looking for a white noise machine. I was pleasantly surprised at the power of this little thing! The volume control is wonderful, and the three sounds are so soothing, I sleep so good!! It charges with a USB cable, so no need for batteries or a cord and the charge lasts surprisingly ALL NIGHT!! It makes traveling so much easier than having to drag along a fan also! The only thing I wish it had was a jack for headphones, but other than that, it's WONDERFUL!!! Two thumbs WAY UP!!" —C.B. Wimberley
Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in four styles).
34. AirFly, a wireless transmitter that'll connect your AirPods (or any other wireless headphones) to the headphone jack on the flight so you can enjoy all the free entertainment without being forced to bring two sets of headphones or use the crappy ones they have the AUDACITY to charge for on some flights.
It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual.
Promising review: "I love this gadget ... I fly a lot and this works on the majority of wide-body planes I’ve taken over the past six months. Just plugs into one of the three-prong outlets (or single outlet in economy), and you can connect any Bluetooth device. Doesn’t always connect on the first try as I have multiple devices that my headphones are searching for, but if you turn off all other devices it seems to connect right away. Once connected, it works for many hours. A few planes I’ve taken recently (Qatar Airways) have USB charge points so close to the headphone jack that you can even plug it in while its working and never lose the charge. Highly recommend for travelers." —Joseph Sikorsky
Get it from Amazon for $54.99.
35. A digital luggage scale so you don't have to spend any time worrying that your bag is overweight at the airport and then trying to rearrange while your suitcase is open on the floor, for the whole airport to see. 😳 Maybe this is a very specific fear that I personally have, but owning this scale will ensure that you never have to pay an overweight baggage fee if you buy too many souvenirs on the trip.
Promising review: "Extremely accurate! What I love is that you have the ability to weigh individual items. Let’s say your bag is 48 pounds, and you have room for two more pounds, you can just weigh an individual item placed in a bag and the zero out the scale before you put the item in it. It makes traveling so much easier. One of the best items I’ve ever bought on Amazon!" —Soul2Soul
