    Lots of reviewers who drive for a living rave about it. 

    Promising review: "I got this for a return flight because I was sitting on a metal bar in the seat for five hours. I had it shipped to my hotel. It made a huge difference in sitting in my seat on the way home. I was comfortable and not grumpy." —Kindle Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $36.76+ (available in three color combos).

    3. An Apple AirTag for each bag to give you peace of mind even if you're driving to your destination and are just leaving your luggage at the hotel before check-in time!

    Piles of suitcases at an airport

    Storytime: After traveling summer 2022 carry-on only, and being a person who tries to carry on whenever possible, I finally bought a couple of Apple AirTags during 2022 Black Friday sales. And I am SO grateful I did. My normal carry-on bag was too big to fit the Lufthansa luggage requirements (and BOY, do they check that!) so I had to check my bags for a December 2022 trip to Vienna and back from Prague (with a layover in Frankfurt). My bag didn't make it onto the plane in Frankfurt, and once I landed in Newark, New Jersey, I pulled up the app on my phone and saw that yes, my backpack AirTag was indeed with me, but my suitcase AirTag was still in Germany. (The screen grab is from an Amazon review, but you get the gist.) The AirTag also helped me track FedEx's delivery of the suitcase to my parents' house, where I was spending the holidays immediately after my Europe trip ended. I was even able to see it on a highway less than an hour's drive from my parents' house. TL;DR: I think AirTags are very much a worthwhile investment if you travel a few times a year. And I'm not the only one who thinks so.

    Promising review: "This was my very first AirTag, but it will not be my last. I travel quite a bit, and it's comforting to be able to watch your luggage as it travels with you through the airport, into baggage claim, and back out. I've heard of a few success stories with lost luggage in which these things saved the day. Worth the price, and the setup is super easy with an iPhone. I appreciate that you can name them and assign your favorite emoji to the display. Will be purchasing more for myself and as gifts." —Malissa

    4. A flat RFID-blocking fanny pack that'll work underneath your clothes or as just a regular waist bag.

    Promising review: "Comfortable to wear. It is sleek and can be worn discreetly under clothes to protect your passport and valuables. I like that it is breathable, which is good for summer travel." —Casey

    Get it from Amazon for $23.95.

    5. A trifold travel wallet so all your important documents are in one place and you're not wearily holding up the line when it comes time to show the TSA agent your passport and boarding pass. 

    The wallet has a passport pocket, boarding pass compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, slim pocket, a ticket slot, a cellphone pouch, a coin zippered pocket, key holder, and pen holder. 

    Promising review: "I went out of the country for the first time and am so glad I bought this wallet. It holds all my documents and IDs, and makes going through airports easy with everything right at hand. It's a good size and fit nicely in my cross-body travel bag. So, if you need a nice travel wallet, give this one a go. It's a good quality and price." —khaleesi

    "I only use this thing for travel. It's compact and lightweight, very comfortable for traveling." —Carolina B.

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 32 colors).

    6. A portable door lock to attach to any regular old door for your budget-friendly hotel, vacation rental, room in a guest house, or, well, just any door. It's super easy to install and won't damage the door. It'll be a comfort for solo travelers, especially.

    If you're flying with this in your carry-on just make sure that you put it in an easy-to-access pocket because I've had security look for it in my bag after going through the X-ray. 

    Promising review: "I'm getting ready to move, and the drive is going to take me a few days. I got this to feel more comfortable staying in hotels and motels. I feel really good about my security with this on the door. It was very easy to install, and it's super strong." —Victoria Ciavarelli

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    7. An anti-theft neck wallet that's also RFID-blocking to help you more easily navigate your cruise-ship excursions without having to keep your hands hovering over your pockets the entire time. Pickpockets exist, and you've gotta be aware of 'em, but let's focus on taking in the sights.

    8. An Arden Cove anti-theft *and* waterproof vegan-leather purse that won't *look* like an anti-theft bag — in case that's the reason you don't already own one. Gotta love a bag that'll get you through sudden rain.

    Check out a TikTok of the portable fan in action. 

    I own this and use it ALL the time. It comes in handy in a variety of situations at home *and* while traveling — especially when you're sitting in a stuffy plane in Miami in July with the doors open, waiting for the pilot to board and take off. I def got some jealous side-eyes from other passengers as I kept myself cool with this. 

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four colors). 

    10. A luggage-mounted cup caddy with a pocket for your bagel or croissant (look at you being fancy so early in the morning!) so you can steer your way to your airport gate with your caffeine in tow.

    Promising review: "I love these bags. I frequently travel overseas and always want to bring olive oil, wine, or the like back from somewhere. These bags are perfect for protecting my finds, and I am comfortable that they will absorb the liquid if they do get broken. My husband actually put a bottle of cracked open wine in the bag to test it, laid the bag on its side, and it absorbed the liquid!" —JHN

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.50+ (available in four colors).

    13. A travel pouch that attaches to your bra so you can safe guard your cards and money — even when you're on the metro in Paris that everyone in your life warned you about before you set out on your trip. ATTENZIONE PICKPOCKET!

    the black pouch attached to a bra
    reviewer image of the pouch filled with money and cards

    Promising reviews: "This is a bit bulky for clipping to the front. I could see the outline, and there was bulging while I was sitting. However, this was very secure and comfortable when clipped to the side. It is perfect for backup credit/ATM cards and extra cash. It's not very large, so it isn't a good option for people looking to carry passports. It was easy to forget about. In fact, I forgot I had it on while going through airport security and to be searched because it looked odd on the body scan...just something to be aware of. I apologized, explained what it was, asked permission to take it off...which was a little awkward but doable without baring anything. Still, overall, I'm quite happy with it. Never worried about it coming undone." —Dalek

    Get it from Amazon for $18.30+ (available in three colors).

    14. A Bandolier phone case with a wallet and a strap that'll keep your phone RIGHT where you want it and know it is. Also, it just looks cool.

    Amazon, Abby Kass / BuzzFeed

    My colleague Abby Kass used these on a trip: "My mom and I both used these when we went to Paris in January 2020 and loved them. They're super convenient to use and since we visited in the winter, we actually kept them under our coats, so nobody (especially pickpockets) could see them. I like how nice the case and strap looked and that I could hold my phone out over the ledge of the Eiffel Tower ledge for an epic sunset shot, and not worry about it falling to its death. Plus, the attached wallet is perfect to stash a credit card, ID, and even a subway ticket. Can you see it chilling at my side in the right photo? Yep, that's where it was the entire trip and will be every other trip I take."

    Promising review: "The Bandolier is just slightly bigger than my iPhone 14 pro.....compact, lightweight, and comfortable to wear all day! My only displeasure is that the envelope-snapped pocket on the back is very tiny...it will only hold three thin items like credit cards, driver's license, OR cash. But I love the crossbody!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $98+ (available in five iPhone sizes and three color combinations).

    15. An anti-theft backpack because yes you should always be aware of possible pickpockets, but the main compartment's zipper facing your back will help you focus a bit more on La Sagrada Familia instead of if your wallet is still in your bag.

    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 am in the midst of a month-long work/learning trip to Guatemala, and I am so glad I purchased this sturdy attractive backpack. It easily fits my laptop and books, and I feel at ease in crowded situations with the safety features of front zip pouches and sturdy cut-resistant straps. Comfortable to wear (I am 5'8", and the adjustable straps are great. Great design, great product." —ChicagoMo

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in two sizes and 14 colors).

    16. An anti-theft messenger bag (that even comes with a spot for your water bottle) so you'll have plenty of room to tote around all the stuff you could possibly need while you're out and about sightseeing — think SPF, a light rain jacket, an extra pair of socks, all kinds of stuff! 

    The bag has hidden, slash-proof, Chain Link construction and an adjustable, cable-reinforced, cut-proof shoulder strap. Plus, a locking zipper. 

    Promising review: "Bought this bag last minute before my 1-month trip to Spain. It was such a lifesaver! There is so much pickpocketing in the cities, and there was no way anyone could do this. I held both of my teenagers' wallets, and I could even go to Hydro Flasks on the expandable sides. Love this, and we’ll take it with me every time I travel now." —JLar

    "Used this travel bag while on vacation in Europe. I wore it as a cross-body bag and felt secure. The zippers have locks, and passports, credit cards, and money are protected in the pouch that rests against the body instead of in front. Felt more secure than a passport/ money belt around my waist and way more comfortable. Both sides open up enough for a water bottle and small travel umbrella, leaving hands free." —diane schoenhoft

    Get it from Amazon for $34.19+ (available in five colors).

    17. An Airfly wireless transmitter that'll let you connect your AirPods or any wireless headphones to your airplane seat...even without Bluetooth!

    Promising review: "The earbuds supplied by airlines are uncomfortable, especially on long flights. These make listening to anything on the airplane super comfortable because you can use whatever headphone/earbud of choice that you are used to. In my case, my airpod pros. So glad I found this product!" —Lingo

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three styles).

    18. hands-free (rotating!) phone mount to help you watch what you want or take advantage of the movies available online for those budget airlines without TVs in the back of the seats. It'll work on the plane *or* while you wait to board. A three-hour flight without a seat TV should be illegal.

    Perilogics is a small biz that specializes in tech-oriented travel products and backpacks.

    Promising review: "Got this to make it more comfortable watching movies and reading books on my phone, while traveling. Used it on planes and a train. It takes a bit of getting used to, to know how to twist, squeeze, tilt, etc., to get it oriented how you want. And some arrangements will have the phone bouncing around a bit, which can be annoying. But I was always able to find an arrangement that held the phone well, at the right angle, without bouncing." —Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $12.29 (available in three colors). 

    19. A bendy travel pillow can help you catch up on some sleep you sacrificed for that budget-friendly morning flight. Buy that window seat, bring this versatile pillow.

    Promising review: "I always disliked the neck pillows that I used to use while flying as didn’t help. The flexibility and ease of use is amazing and this not only helps my neck, but also lower back! I used it for an international flight and it made it much more comfortable. You can even use it alongside your back and the cover comes off to clean!" —Fred Paisley

    20. Or an alternate Trtl travel pillow that, thanks to its scarf-like construction, you can easily to adjust to your perfect comfort level and tilt angle to get some Zzzzzs while someone else gets you to where you're going.

    Ciera Velarde, a former editor here at BuzzFeed, also loves this! She says: "I've used this for the past few years and swear by it! Before this, I always found traditional neck pillows uncomfortable and would end up ditching them halfway through the flight and getting frustrated. 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: "I love this TRTL!! I first used it on a trip from Seattle to Buenos Aires and will now always use it. It made it possible for me to be comfortable on that long flight. I found it to be the best neck support in how it holds up my neck in a comfortable natural way. I love how I can use it on either side of my neck, and even in the front and back of my neck. I love how I can cover my face to just below my eyes if I want privacy. It is cozy, lightweight, durable and packs easily, or I can wrap it around my carry bag handle for quick transport. I bought one for a friend who took it on a Seattle to New York flight and she said it was a game changer for her as she was able to sleep for the first time while flying. Now I know that with my TRTL and Bose noise cancelling head phones, I can be cramped in a middle seat on a long flight and survive in relative comfort. Thank your TRTL!!! I just bought another one for a gift for my daughter. It is a well-designed product!" —Amis Balcomb

    Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in five colors).

    21. And because you deserve another option: A memory-foam neck pillow that comes high enough on the sides so your neck isn't lolling about and thus waking you up from your mid-flight slumber. 

    Promising review: "Plush thick pillow that holds your head comfortably during a flight. It fit great around my next and there’s a mechanism to adjust the fit to how you prefer. Super portable since it comes in a nice small bag you can fold it and store in. Highly recommend." —L Caldwell

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five styles).

    22. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds some reviewers compare to AirPods for significantly cheaper. They'll be perfect for listening to a podcast while you take a train ride to that cute little town you've been meaning to visit.

    These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge). 

    Promising review: "The ear buds fit perfectly. I use them when I ride my motorcycle, workout, phone calls and when I travel. They have never fallen out of my ear. They are comfortable; I prefer them over my headset when I fly. The battery life is good for working out or a short ride. However, I take a spare headset for longer flights. I highly recommend these ear buds, especially if you've had issues finding comfortable a comfortable, affordable set." —vdubzis

    Get it from Amazon $24.99+ (available in five colors).

    23. travel belt can help you easily secure your personal item (aka, a large purse or backpack) to the top of your rolling bag. See, getting through airport security *can* be a cinch. (Sorry.) 

    The travel belt is adjustable to 38 inches to fit most bags. The belt itself is vegan leather with elastic accents and a quick-release buckle.

    Cincha Travel is a small business in California that develops adjustable travel belts made out of vegan leather. The brand donates 100 airline miles for each purchase, which are used to reconnect separated migrant families.

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 17 colors).

    24. An *very popular* off-the-shoulder jumpsuit suited for just about any sightseeing needs.

    Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in four colors and also in a two-pack). 

    26. travel-friendly blanket-slash-pillow because those tiny plane pillows never do the trick and we can say the same about the blankets. With this, you'll have options. Oh! And it clips onto your backpack or carry-on.

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

    27. An airplane seat back organizer because those seat back pockets are NEVER as big as you need them to be. With this you can actually store your snacks, water bottle, and so much more without having to get up and get stuff out of the overhead throughout your flight. 

    Check out a TikTok of the Airplane Pockets tray table cover in action. 

    Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products. 

    My colleague Emma Lord owns and loves this: "I used this on a roundtrip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves!"

    Promising review: "Out of all the travel accessories and/or items I have purchased to make traveling more comfortable this ranks up there as one of the best. The material is soft and not too thin or too thick for that matter. It stretched perfectly over the table without a lot of extra material hanging off the table yet it wasn't so tight that it looked like it would rip. When the table was up there was plenty of room in each of the pockets for my cell phone, gum, ear buds holder, and two tablets. I am so happy with this purchase and recommended it to all my family members." —Mking110

    29. If you get jet lag, try a set of homeopathic jet lag pills made to help you fight off time zone changes and disrupted sleep schedules. Plus, you can actually sleep while taking these. I've taken them on a couple of red eyes and I think they help!

    Promising review: "I heard about this product from my cousin who used it for a trip Japan and it was very effective.

    Promising review: "These are snug enough to do the job; but comfortable enough that on a 5.5- hour flight I forgot I even had them on. I left them on 'til I got unpacked in the hotel, which totaled seven hours. They kept their shape and didn’t stretch out so I’ll get many uses out of them. I highly recommend them." —T. Schneider

    31. A weighted sleep mask to help block out the reading light and/or sunlight from your neighbor's open airplane window shade while you catch up on some of that sleep you sacrificed to get the early flight. Oh, and it's weighted!

    Promising review: "We bought this for a road trip with our little one, who is still rear facing — it was perfect! We knew the seat was warm from just driving around town and wanted to make sure it was comfortable for a long drive. It kept it cool, isn’t loud, and love that we could plug it in vs. only the battery. We use it regularly in town now, too." —K Maddock

    Promising review: "This is the perfect travel razor. It is very compact and has a comfortable grip. I honestly like it better than my normal razors. The heads are interchangeable with the normal razor heads also, so you can reuse this as many times as you want. I love the case it comes in because of the drainage holes on the bottom." —katie

    35. A pack of toilet seat covers can create a (colorful) barrier between your toddler's curious hands and public toilet seats at rest stops. 

    Promising review: "While traveling, this made my kid so comfortable to use the bathroom. It really did cover the entire toilet. Would buy again." —mitra

    36. A five-pack of packing cubes with mesh tops to help you separate everyone's clothes into different cubes while still making the most of your space. 

    Shacke is a small biz specializing in travel gear and accessories.

    Promising review: "I frankly don't like other people touching my personal clothing, and, as we know, TSA has the right to open your suitcase. Having my clothing confined makes me feel more comfortable when I arrive at my destination. In addition, if you're staying in a hotel or timeshare for a week or more, you can simply remove the cubes and place them in drawers. If you don't like living out of a suitcase while on vacation, this is the only way to go." —Lee

    37. A fanny pack with a ton of storage room inside that has a long enough strap to wear crossbody *or* comfortably fit over outerwear for some hands-free adventures. And in case it looks familiar, TikTokers compare it to the Lulu waist bag. Plus, it's cute enough to wear for fashion and you can pack one fewer bag as a result.

    I wear a size L/XL in clothing and sometimes waist bags just don't work out so well for me. With this one, I can confirm that it fit around my waist comfortably without outerwear, across my chest without outerwear, *and* over a thick coat and several layers. The pockets inside are so handy and I even had room to spare throughout my Iceland trip. This was the only purse I brought for the whole trip and it performed its job flawlessly. Just make sure that you zip the zipper ALL the way because the zipper goes down pretty far on the sides for easier access to contents. Having my hands free was wildly convenient for a number of reasons, including crawling around inside of an ice cave and putting out my hands for some extra balance while walking on sheets of ice along cliffs. Oh, and it comes in so so SO many colors. 

    Promising review: "I got this for our honeymoon for traveling overseas. It is the perfect size and fits a lot of the essentials! This fanny pack is sleek and very comfortable. It matches anything, and I can wear it for any occasion! Highly recommend!" —Alison H.

    38. A pair of lanyard ID holders with waterproof, detachable pouches so you can easily pay for stuff onboard or slip your badge into your pocket in case the nautical look doesn't jibe with your formal dinner attire.

    Promising review: "Does the job you would want it to do. It also detaches if you need to hand your card to a waiter/waitress which is very convenient. The lanyard is a very comfortable material too." —Amazon Customer

    39. A cruise-approved power strip that's surge-protected AND has USB-C, USB, and three standard outlet plugs that'll charge up all your devices you could possibly need on the ship or during excursions. Cabin with one outlet? NBD.

    Promising review: "I bought these for our recent cruise after seeing a recommendation. I’m glad we did. I felt much more comfortable about our bags making it to our cabin using these protectors (a co-worker recently had her bags not show up, possibly because her paper tags got ripped off in transit). I like that they come with metal cables to attach to my bags and the plastic covers are very solid with metal rings that won’t rip." —Richard Woolf

    41. Anti–motion sickness earplugs made for both adults and kids that reviewers say are more comfortable to sleep in than other motion-sickness blockers.

    Promising review: "I get motion sickness very easily. I wear an electric pulse band, which is great but at night it makes it hard to sleep. I decided to use the earplugs at night and it seemed to really help. They were comfortable and I could sleep with them in without issue. I still had some motion issues, but our cabin was right at the front of the ship. Don't do that!" —S. Beck

    Get them from Amazon for $17.99.

    42. A pair of quick-dry water shoes to help you traverse nearly every kind of ground you may come upon — whether it's while zip lining, walking along a rocky beach, or just walking around the ship deck.

    Promising review: "This is my second pair of water socks. I had to order another because they are comfortable and easy to pack while traveling. I learned from the first pair — order a size larger to get a better fit." —Amy

    Get it from Amazon for $7.88+ (available in sizes 4–13.5 and 44 colors).

    43. A set of DEET-free handy mosquito-repelling bracelets in case the thought of putting something else on your skin besides SPF (like smelly bug repellent) sounds like a total nightmare.

    Promising review: "Kept the mosquitos away! Used for a two-day camping trip by a river in Oregon and did not get bit once! I have large wrists and ankles, but it fit well and was secure, but still very soft and comfortable. I could barely smell them." —Erin Schumacher

    45. A wide-mouth water bottle that'll pack flat *or* roll up super small when empty. Reviewers say it worked well for water-filling stations on board cruises.

    Promising review: "These bottles work excellently when traveling internationally. Airline stewardesses were happy to fill them on the planes. While in Africa, we had an excellent way of carrying water. They are much more comfortable to carry than a bottle of water. They are cheaper to fill than buying bottled water. Zero complaints." —Ski
