    36 Products To Seriously Improve Your Travel Experience

    All packed and ready for takeoff ✈️

    1. A TSA-approved set of silicone travel bottles to store your liquids and other toiletries. There are more than enough containers so you can bring your shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and perfume with you!

    Reviewer photo of travel bottles inside of the clear travel bag

    These BPA-free bottles feature a leakproof design so you won't have to worry about messy spills while traveling. You get four bottles, four jars, and two spray bottles. It also comes with two scoopers to use with the jars, a funnel for transferring liquids, a clear travel bag, a set of labels, and a cleaning brush.

    Promising review: "This little set is perfect for your travel toiletries. Instead of paying $3 for those little travel bottles, you can fill your favorite products in these. The taller tubes are silicone and easy to fill. The circular containers I used the little scooper to fill. I didn't use the spray bottles this trip but I did use everything else and I'm happy to say nothing leaked. Easy to clean after use as well." —Nicole

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    2. Or a waterproof toiletry bag for long trips that require plenty of toiletries. It even has a hanging hook for easy storage when you're traveling. You'll have four separate compartments, so you'll have tons of space for the essentials.

    Promising review: "I. Love. This. Bag. Seriously, I had a cheap toiletry bag from Target that essentially did the same thing, only way worse. It was too small, the hook didn't rotate so you could only hang it at an angle, if anything ever leaked, it would seep right through the bag, etc. But THIS bag has NONE of those issues! It fits everything I need and then some, meaning I don't have to skimp on my 10-step Korean skincare routine when I travel anymore. It never leaks. And I love that the hook swivels so you can hang it anywhere, and your stuff hangs perfectly. I also love the handle and the overall flatter shape. It makes it so easy to travel with! Cannot recommend this bag enough." —KaiEli

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors).

    3. A cute passport and vaccination card holder so you never misplace or damage important travel documents again. Keep it close and you'll breeze through the TSA line like a champ!

    Same reviewer showing closed case

    Promising review: "I needed a new pill case for everyday use and to travel with and I found this! I take a few pills and then also have the basic Tylenol & allergy pills but you never know when you will be put on a new one. Also, when my friends come to visit, I carry Benadryl on me in case of allergic reactions. Lightweight, easy to use. Love the pick to help open the pill case on the inside. Plenty of room for all size pills. Love love love the labels so I know which pill is which. I got my boss to order one and she fell in love." —Ashely Marie

    Plus, it's lead-, latex-, and BPA-free, is dishwasher safe, and can be used for hot or cold drinks.

    Promising review: "Well this is the coolest thing ever! I travel quite a bit, and I usually don't take a bottle with me because they are big and bulky and I usually lose them! This collapsible water bottle is a perfect traveling accessory. It stays collapsed until after security, and then I fill it up for the trip. It's a good size and fits in my side compartment in my travel backpack, and the cap screws in securely so I don't have to worry about it opening accidentally and spilling all over the place. I follow the instructions on how to clean it and it works just fine." —M. Lyons

    Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in eight colors).

    7. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter if you want to connect your wireless earbuds to the inflight entertainment system so you don't have to be at the mercy of poor-quality airline headphones.

    You can connect up to two pairs of earbuds at a time and you'll get 16+ hours of battery life that'll help you survive those extremely long flights.

    Promising review: "Ever since I purchased my wireless Bose earbuds, I always hated having to use another set when I was on an airplane with the seat-back entertainment system. I tried many different models to connect the system to my Bluetooth headsets until I came across this one, and it is amazing! It seamlessly connects to my headset, very clear and reliable audio, and it takes the stress away from having to carry multiple headsets! Thank you!!!" —Ryan Malloy

    Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (also available in two other styles). 

    8. An in-flight phone mount to keep you entertained when the airline isn't offering anything good to watch. Simply attach it to your seat-back tray and enjoy any movies or shows you downloaded before takeoff.

    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. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built, and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —Earendil

    Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (also available as a set of two).

    9. A luggage-mounted cup holder for when you're zipping through the airport with your hands full as you try to make it to the gate *without* spilling your drink.

    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 22 colors/patterns). 

    10. A discreet acrylic luggage tag in case you experience the unfortunate and *highly* stressful situation of losing a bag while traveling. This will ensure the airlines have your contact info. Plus, you can choose a bright color so your bag is easier to spot on the luggage carousel!

    Evy Little Design / Etsy

    You can personalize your luggage tag to include a name, address, and phone number or email. The shop also allows you to request a proof before the tag is made to confirm everything looks good.

    Promising review: "Perfect! I love them so much! Grabbed three. One for my backpack and one for each of my main suitcases! Bright and easy to spot on the luggage rack and carousel!! Planning to give some as gifts for the holidays!" —Caitlin Williams

    Get it from Evy Little Design on Etsy for $9.75+ (available in 40 colors and two loop options/sizes)

    11. A digital luggage scale so you can avoid unexpected (but also not totally surprising) overweight bag fees! Say goodbye to the embarrassing days of unpacking your suitcase in the middle of the airport to remove some weight.

    Promising review: "Buy this if you travel a lot. I travel with scuba dive gear and this saved me from going over the weight limit both going to the island and returning. I was a hero with my friends. They had no idea how much their bags weighed. I helped them too from going over their weight limit. It's easy to use and worth the money." —Kindle Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in five colors and a pack of two).

    12. An airplane footrest if you want to stretch your legs without kicking your seat neighbor. Attach it to the arms of your tray table and give your tired feet a rest. This'll help prevent lower back pain, stiffness, and leg swelling on those super long flights. 

    Promising review: "This is an amazing product. It's so simple but works incredibly to prevent swelling and pressure on legs while flying. I just flew the first leg of an international flight and used it, and I am on a layover now and had to pause to write this review. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! It easily attached to the tray table, and I adjusted it to my desired height. It is like a hammock for your feet. You just prop them up inside the thing/swing/hammock — which is very cushiony — and your feet are hoisted up comfortably. I'm a big girl and weight is no issue. DEFINITELY MUST HAVE ON ALL MY FLIGHTS NOW. This thing is great!!" —Queen

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in three colors).

    13. A set of travel games to keep your kids occupied on the plane or in the car. This set has six dry-erase game boards, including Hangman and Tic-Tac-Toe. It also comes with markers and a carrying pouch for easy storage on the go.

    Get it from Mister Crafter on Etsy for $39.80+ (available in two sizes and two colors, personalization also available).

    16. An external battery so your devices stay fully juiced while you're on vacation. No, seriously, this monster can bring your phone to full battery three times before the bank needs to be charged up again.

    Amazon

    BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel says: "I know external batteries are a snore and $31 seems like a lot compared to the cheap 'lipstick' ones, but I cannot recommend this battery enough. It can charge my phone a full three times, which is crucial for someone like me: a frequent-flying, Twitter-loving, podcast-downloading, battery-draining millennial who feels like they're drowning if their phone dies for one damn second."

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four colors).

    17. travel adapter and voltage converter for those international journeys that require you to plan ahead when it comes to plugging anything into the outlet. It comes with three international adapters, so you'll be good to go.

    There are also four USB ports, and it converts 220/240 V to 110/120 V.

    Promising review: "Worked perfectly on a recent trip to England and France. I used it to power a MacBook Air, a Windows laptop, two iPhones, and two portable chargers. I like the design of the case. The form factor is so much sleeker than most of the other travel transformers available. One thing I didn't realize when I ordered it (because I was in a hurry and didn't read the specs thoroughly) is that this device has a fan to dissipate heat from stepping down the voltage. While the fan is not extremely loud, neither is it silent. I found it a pleasant source of white noise that actually helped me sleep at night, but you might not." —Lake Mist

    Get it from Amazon for $33.98.

    18. And a six-USB-port wall charger to ensure you and your travel buddies can charge all your devices before you leave the hotel for a day of exploring! No more taking turns using the only two outlets in the room.

    Promising reviews: "This is perfect for traveling. I can charge my Kindle, my phone, my hearing aids, my watch and my earbuds, and have one port left to spare." —Amazon Customer

    "Anker builds good stuff. This is a great travel accessory for family or groups. Some riding buddies of mine got together and 4 of us shared a motel room. Everyone wants to charge phones, helmet com units, watches and whatever. Rather than fight over who gets to use the two USB plugs on the lamp or the 1 outlet by the door, drop this in and now you have 6 ports. Also useful in airport terminals when everyone wants to charge before the flight. It has the added benefit of knowing what you're plugging in to as it can be a security risk to plug your smart device in to an unknown port. —Max L.

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors).

    19. A set of travel laundry bags so you can separate dirty laundry from clean clothes in your suitcase! When you get home from a long trip, you won't have to do any guesswork about which clothes are clean and which are dirty.

    The bags are machine washable and made of flexible but durable nylon material that can be folded over to fit neatly in your suitcase. Each bag has a handy drawstring so you can close it tightly when you're in transit!

    Promising review: "If you are like me, like to keep your clothes separate. When traveling I do not like to put my dirty clothes back in my suitcase (unless I am flying). This is the perfect way to keep your clothes separated." —Katrina Batts

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 27 colors and as a one-pack). 

    20. Or some odor eliminators you can toss in your luggage so your dirty laundry and smelly sneakers don't stink up the entire contents of your bag. If you're taking a short trip or don't have room for separate laundry bags, these will def come in handy!

    The charcoal bag has no smell and absorbs excess moisture to prevent mold, mildew, and bacteria from forming on your clothes and in your bag. You can use them for up to two years, but you should put them outside in the sun for an hour once a month so they can ~rejuvenate~.

    Promising review: "These are the best travel buddies! I always pack one of these in my luggage and one in my boyfriend's. While traveling, we sometimes don't get to wash all our clothes, but these bags are brilliant at absorbing the smell of sweat on our clothes and shoes!" —J.L.

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available in sets four and six).

    Promising review: "I love that this lint roller has a close option to prevent it from picking up everything in my bag and wasting papers. It's such a nice size that I keep one in my work bag and one in my travel bag and it doesn't take up any space!" —Kehad

    Get it from Amazon for $6.95+ (available in eight colors).

    Amazon

    According to the instructions, you should take them at take-off, then every two hours, and then again once you arrive to help with relaxation and combat sleepiness. 

    Promising reviews: "I don't travel abroad without them. Between taking these, arriving to my destination in the late afternoon, and taking melatonin before sleeping, I have woken up on Day 1 ready to go with no lingering jet-lag feeling." —Audrey Schmedes

    "This is THE best travel hack for jetlaggers like me! I arrived at my destination like I had flown first class, I was so fresh and energetic! I tried this for the first time three years ago on a 23-hour flight across 11 time zones, and I arrived fresh as a daisy. I walked the new city for 12 hours with not a hint of exhaustion or sleepiness! I cannot recommend this product more. Get it!" —Sherri S.

    Get a 32-pack of pills from Amazon for $14.40.

    23. A Trtl neck pillow for maxin' and relaxin' on the plane without waking up to a sore neck. This nifty pillow keeps your head in a comfy position while you catch some Z's — without any head bobbling.

    The Trtl pillow is adjustable — you wrap the pillow around your neck and secure it with Velcro, and if you find it's too loose, just make it a bit tighter! I've truly never slept better on a plane than with this pillow.

    Promising review: "This was the most supportive and comfortable device I have ever tried for head and neck support during long-distance travel. I slept great on my transatlantic flight. I’ll never fly without one now!" —FloridaChillinMom

    Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in three colors).

    Promising review: "I’ve been using this mask for over a week now, and I must say that it’s the best mask I’ve ever used yet. I have used a sleep mask every night for... probably the last nine years, and it’s the most comfortable one I’ve ever used. I love the strap. No Velcro to get caught in your hair! It’s got adjustable wide elastic that is soft and comfortable. Not the stiff stuff! The mask has nice memory foam in it which cushions your face when sleeping on your side. It has nice deep eye pockets so there is never any pressure on your eyes or eyelashes, which I love. Overall, this is the best mask I’ve ever had. It’s made so well; I feel pampered in it." —DePlume

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in five colors).

    25. A pair of Apple AirPods Pro if you're desperate to drown out the noise around you while traveling! These have noise cancellation, over 24 hours of listening time, and they come with three different size silicone tips so you can find the perfect fit for your ears.

    Promising review: "Saw these on Prime Day and had a trip coming up. Figured I would give them a try. Why did I wait so long? I had no issues with fit, sound quality, or connectivity. Will never travel without them." —Steve

    And here's more from BuzzFeed Shopping senior writer Emma Lord: "I have a pair of these, and they're not playing around. Once they're securely in your ear, you can toggle the headphones between noise-canceling and regular sound, depending on your situation. I've been working from home, and the noise canceling is so effective that I can work next to a window where my neighbor is doing heavy construction and I don't hear anything louder than a faint buzzing. It's quieter than if I'd just plugged my ears with my own fingers. I'm also a runner, and these don't budge when you're sweating, which is nice. It's also handy that these toggle out of noise-cancellation mode, because I feel better being able to hear traffic and other people around me when I'm out and about. The TL;DR is: I love these so much I have zero interest in owning another pair of headphones for as long as I live." Read her full review of the AirPod Pros here!

    Get them from Amazon for $179.99.

    26. Or wireless headband headphones for anyone who struggles to keep a pair of headphones on, especially while traveling. The battery lasts for over 10 hours and you won't have to worry about your earbud falling onto the airplane floor!

    The headband has a breathable mesh lining on the inside with hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking material to keep you comfortable while you wear them. The soft, stretchy material is designed to fit most head sizes. The headband is machine washable, too! Simply remove the control pod before putting it in the washing machine. 

    Promising review: "My husband and I travel a lot! I bought each of us one for our last cruise. They were a Godsend! The headband is easy to use and holds a charge for days. We were able to Bluetooth to our own devices. They are comfortable enough to sleep in, we slept with ours on every night for the 7-day cruise. We find ourselves using them a lot here at home as well. The material is comfortable and breathable. I don't think it would keep your ears very warm in the cold but I also don't think the material is thick enough for you to sweat in either. Overall we are both very pleased and plan to purchase some for Christmas and birthday gifts." —Jenn S.

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 13 colors).

    27. A pair of compression socks to help prevent swelling and excessive sweating on long flights where you're doing a whole lot of sitting. This can do a number on your legs and feet, but these socks can help!

    Promising review: "With three weeks of international travel coming up, I purchased these to combat swelling in my feet during the flights. I had noticed swelling after three-hour domestic flights, so I was worried about what almost 30k miles would do! I wore these on every leg of the trip and never noticed any swelling — even after the 10–15 hour flights. They are very comfortable, too!" —J. Beaty

    Get them from Amazon for $10.08+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 13 colors).

    Courtney Lynch / Buzzfeed, Allbirds

    I've owned these sneakers for over a year now and I never travel without them. It's my ideal airport shoe because you get solid support and a flexible fit, so your feet are never sore after a long travel day. If you're like me and love a sneaker that you can slip on and off *without* untying the laces (perfff for the TSA line!), these are a true gem. I also wear them for my daily walks and when I'm running errands because they're just that comfy. You can even toss them in the washing machine on a gentle cycle when they need a good cleaning. I also feel good investing in these sneakers because I know they'll last, but also because Allbirds is committed to sustainability and plans to cut its footprint in half by 2025.

    Get it from Allbirds for $110 (available in women's sizes 5–11 and 16 styles).

    29. A travel laptop backpack that'll protect your computer and anything else you use it for! It's got a durable design, tons of compartments, and a convenient USB charging port for your external power bank!

Don't forget about the USB port so you can plug in your external battery and keep your device charged *and* secure in the hidden anti-theft pocket!

    Promising review: "Bought this backpack about a year and a half ago and I use it legitimately every day for work. I’ve traveled to Tahiti, San Diego and the Dominican Republic and used it as my carry on and the amount of stuff it holds is crazy. I can fit one to two extra sets of clothes, iPad, chargers, a couple of books, glasses cases and a ton of other odds and ends. The main compartments have small holes on the zippers for locks which is nice. The loop on the back to slide over your luggage handle is also super convenient. Definitely recommend this backpack for daily use and travel." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors).

    30. A travel belt for attaching your fave bag to your rolling suitcase. You'll have one less item hanging off your shoulder while traveling because who doesn't want to stroll through the airport without a care in the world?

    As if that weren't enough, it's also made of 100% recycled polyester!

    Promising review: "I bought this bag to bring on my month-long trip to Europe this summer. It served as a carry on and as an addition to my medium size suitcase. First of all, the quality of the materials is excellent, very sturdy and perfect for those hectic travel days. Also, it fits great in a plane or train overhead compartment. In addition, the pass-through is a godsend, it ensured that my bag stayed in place when put on top of my suitcase and as both bags were lugged around those small cobblestone streets. Finally, the bag is super spacious, I couldn't believe the amount of things that I could fit in it and the compartments allowed for great organization of those items. What more can I say, a great travel companion that I will be using for years to come and that I would highly recommend to anyone who is in the market for one. Thanks Everlane!" —Sara Anne

    Promising review: "SAVED OUR LIVES. IF YOU TRAVEL, YOU MUST BUY THESE. I bought two packages because two of us were doing some international travel to India from the USA. Had some fancy soirees, and dresses and tunics for a wedding. Rolled them up and literally made it a quarter of the size. There’s no need to have a vacuum pump but it just takes a strong arm and a tabletop to roll it out. It makes some funny sounds but really gets all the air out. Really good product and highly recommended. I have another package but not going to sell it back because I like them so much. They’re reusable too." —Victor Hammond

    33. A tote organizer insert because who wants to navigate a messy bag while traveling? You'll be able to find exactly what you're looking for rather than having to dig through an unorganized mess.

    Promising review: "This thing is great! I have a large bag I use as a carry-on when I fly by plane. Unfortunately, it has very few pockets and is just like a bottomless pit. This fit in perfectly. I was able to organize all of my items quite well. They were easy to retrieve in flight and in the airport. I didn't use the zipper compartment at all but did put that piece in to use it as a divider. It is well-made and sturdy. Be sure to measure your inner bag space first!" —Susan

    Get it from Amazon for $15.88+ (available in six sizes and 21 colors).

    34. A portable safe for guarding your belongings when you're out and about. If you have a tropical vacation coming up, this will give you peace of mind when you go for a swim and leave your valuables in your beach bag.

    Promising review: "This safe has become a MUST-HAVE on all our vacations. We no longer travel without it. We put two iPhones, cash, and car keys in this little safe, locked it to a beach cabana, threw a towel over it and took off for an hour of snorkeling. Never once worried about our belongings. We now use several of these as room safes AND as 'hide a key' lockboxes outside our vacation condo for teens who come and go throughout the day. They are invaluable!" —KeepIT Reel

    Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in three colors).

    35. Some travel-size hand sanitizer bottles so you can fight germs regardless of where you're headed. Stop desperately searching for that *one* hand sanitizer station in the airport and keep one of these bottles clipped to your bag!

    Promising review: "Bought for international travel. Just the right size to pass airport security. Lightweight so easy to pop in pockets to carry daily.

    And it must have helped as I didn’t catch a cold either during or after traveling. Used in conjunction with anti-bacterial wipes." —laurence r stevens

    Get it from Amazon for $11.14.

    36. And last but not least, a packing checklist to prepare for your next journey without forgetting anything important. Whether you plan ahead or pack last minute, this checklist will ensure you cover all your bases!

    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 three to four trips." —Cktine

    Get it from Amazon for $7.
