    31 Products You'll Want If You'll Be On A Plane At Any Point This Fall

    The weather's about to get chillier, but your flight home for Thanksgiving just got a whole lot comfier.

    1. A practical tray table cover so that all the necessary knickknacks for your flight are within easy reach. Perfect to store your water bottle, headphones, book, tissues, snacks...oh, and lip balm (because we all know how dry the weather can get as fall settles in)! Now you can just place your bag overhead and kick your feet out while having everything right in front of you.

    Promising review: "I love this thing! I always hated putting things in the seat pocket on planes. It was easy for things to get lost in there or sometimes the pockets were pretty tight. This thing was amazing. I was able to get everything out of my bag that I might need during the flight and had easy access to it all. It was so much better than having to pull my bag out constantly to get stuff I needed. It also folds up nicely so it doesn’t take up much space in your bag." —Corey

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    2. A super handy luggage weight because once you have it, you'll never travel without it — especially if you don't identify as a light packer! This lets you know the weight of your luggage so that you never again have to awkwardly stop in the middle of the airport to re-distribute weight. Plus, reviewers rave about how accurate it is!

    Promising reviews: "I would absolutely recommend this for anyone who travels, especially internationally, because of all the extra costs for going over in weight. We were among the few people in line who didn’t need to rearrange our luggage at the airport to meet the weight requirements in Milan. So easy to pack and take with you." —Addison

    "This little device was well worth the money spent. It saved us a lot of money on our flight home since we knew the weight was over and could pre-purchase the overage in the app instead of paying double at the airport. I’ll never travel without it!! Very easy to use." —Michael Ellis

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four colors and also as a two-pack).

    3. Trtl neck pillow with soft fleece support that might actually make a restful nap on a plane possible. (Imagine that!) Its ergonomic design keeps your head from nodding back and forth to help avoid aches and strains. Plus, it's a lot more stylish than a bulky neck pillow.

    Unlike the regular U-shaped pillows, Trtl Pillows are machine-washable and fast-drying.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Ciera Velarde owns this comfy pillow and 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: "Used it for a 14-hour flight to Japan last week, and it helped tremendously. This was the first time I was able to sleep on the plane so this helped tremendously. Definitely a must-have for travel. It is very light so I was able to easily pack it in my under-the-seat wheeled trolley. I want to emphasize how much the light warmth of the fleece (and I don't like being hot) was just right to help me nod off to sleep. Since this is primarily for sitting upright in the seat or someone in the middle or the aisle seat, this was ideal for me. I just got back yesterday. Again I used it — this time for a 12-hour flight." —Ambience

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in five colors).

    4. Or a travel-friendly blanket-slash-pillow if you're someone who's constantly chilly on airplanes. This soft (and super cute, might I add) creation will let you stay warm and cozy on your next flight without having to take up extra space — it turns into a portable pouch that you can clip to your backpack or carry-on! With this, a restful snooze on your flight might actually be possible.

    Promising review: "I ordered two of these and my daughter and I both use them numerous times while flying recently. They compact nicely, have a loop that can go through the handle of a carry-on, and are the perfect size for snuggling up and sleeping on the airplane. It is lightweight and I will not fly again without it!" —SweetMama

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

    5. And a set of super-comfy wax earplugs because they'll let you finally be able to nap on your plane ride (despite your S.O.'s constant snoring). They block out noises by comfortably molding to the shape of your inner ear! Perfect for longer travel days when you just. need. some. sleep.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    Check them out on TikTok here.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord swears by these and raves: "The moldable silicone of Mack's Earplugs contours easily to the shape of your ear to block out noise much more effectively than other foam or plastic varieties, and the noise reduction is so good that if I pair them with a white noise machine (or just like a white noise loop on Spotify) I genuinely don't hear noises from outside my room. Not only that, but once they're in place, they stay locked there until you decide to pull them out.

    Granted, I can still hear my alarm and like, if the fire alarm went off or something, I'd definitely wake right up. But noises that are distant and loud are pretty easily canceled out by these.

    I've also *loved* these for traveling — if you put these babies in on a plane not only does it help reduce some of the YIKES factor when the plane takes off (it's loud!!), but it cancels out the murmuring noises of passengers on the flight and makes it easier to get some shuteye.

    Get 12 pairs from Amazon for $12.99.

    6. A handy RFID-blocking travel wallet that can store so many of your usual travel and wallet contents, you'll think Hermione cast an undetectable extension charm on it. It can store your passport, boarding pass, three credit cards, a slim card, your ID, a ticket, your phone, your coins, a key, a pen, and...I think that's it? This is great for keeping everything together, especially for a multidestination trip!

    Check it out on TikTok here.

    Promising review: "I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! I can fit my boarding pass, passport, ID, credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, and more in it, yet it doesn’t bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. It's just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese Yen, which are larger. I didn’t use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" —Anthony Luu

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 38 colors).

    7. A roomy water-resistant duffel bag because it's the perfect travel companion for the upcoming rainy days. It comes with several interior pockets, a wet pocket (great for toiletries!) a tablet sleeve, and a strap to keep it secured to your luggage as you rush around the airport.

    A reviewer showing how well their pink bag fits underneath the airplane seat in front of them

    Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this travel duffel bag; it's been an absolute game changer for my trips. I've taken it on several journeys, including some rough adventures, and it still looks as good as new. The size is just perfect — it holds a surprising amount of stuff while remaining compact enough to fit in overhead compartments or under seats on flights. The compartments and pockets help keep everything organized, which is a lifesaver when you're on the go. The quality of the zippers and handles is top-notch. The shoulder strap is comfortable, and the option to carry it as a backpack is a fantastic feature. It's great for weekend getaways, business trips, or even as a gym bag. I've used many travel bags in the past, but this one truly stands out in terms of quality and functionality. It's become my go-to travel companion, and I wouldn't travel without it. If you're in need of a reliable, stylish, and spacious travel duffel, look no further. This bag is a winner!" —Liz

    Get it from Amazon for $21.49+ (available in 47 colors).

    8. A set of durable leak-proofing toiletry sleeves that stretch to seal most full-sized and travel-sized toiletries. Especially that lotion bottle in your carry-on! Not only does this season make us want to stay warmer — we gotta stay moisturized too.

    Rinseroo is a small, family-owned business based in New Jersey.

    Promising review: "I travel a lot, and was getting tired of storing shampoo, conditioner, creams, etc. in zippered plastic bags — then having to clean the leaked product off the container and the inside of the bag. Bought two sets of these for an international trip, and they worked so well that I’ll skip the plastic bags next time! No leaks at all. Also, very easy to clean between uses. Great product, works on various sizes and shapes of container." —Dawn C.

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available as an eight-pack).

    9. And a set of TSA-compliant leakproof travel capsules if you're looking for an easy way of traveling with your face creams, vitamins, and dainty jewelry that'll compliment those fall outfits beautifully. These leakproof lil' containers will hold them all securely. They're also magnetic — they'll stick together so you don't have to be digging around your bag for the one specific capsule.

    Cadence is a woman-owned small business specializing in personal care travel solutions. Each mini capsule is created from recycled ocean-bound plastic and is refillable and reusable!

    Check them out on TikTok here.

    Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jasmin Sandal uses these travel capsules and said: "I love my little containers that allow me to downsize but still carry my necessities while I'm traveling. They're not only cute to look at but they're pretty practical. I have used mine to store my vitamins, earrings, face cream and have not run into any issues. They have tight, screw-on tops so you know everything is secure *and* you can customize their labels so you know exactly what's in what. Oh, and the fact that they're magnetic? Genius. This way, they stay tightly together in your case or can be conveniently stored in a makeup bag." 

    Promising review: "This is my go to for all my travel, gym, camping trips. I can keep enough for four to five days of skincare. The best set I've had for carry-on toiletries." —Cadence Customer

    Get a set of six from Cadence for $76 (originally $84; available in individual capsules, bundles of three or six, and eight colors).

    10. luggage drink caddy for anyone who considers Starbucks as essential as going through TSA when it comes to the airport. This sticks right on top of your wheeled luggage and has two pockets so that you can place your phone, snacks, and ~most importantly~ your PSL!

    Reviewers say it's ideal for a suitcase that can roll on four wheels! If you have a suitcase that has to tilt while it rolls, just be careful if the drinks are open at the top.

    Check it out on TikTok here.

    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 $11.99+ (available in 27 colors and patterns). 

    11. A pair of breathable high-waisted leggings with moisture-wicking, fleece-lined material so that you stay warm and comfy during your plane ride — especially as autumn settles in and the temps start to fall. They also have a hidden waistband pocket!

    Reviewer showing how the black leggings look on them from the front
    Reviewer showing how the black leggings look on them from the back

    Promising review: "I bought this pair of leggings initially so I could have something warm and comfortable to wear while working at home that wasn't just a pair of sweatpants — they ended up becoming a staple of my workout wardrobe too! I ended up getting two more pairs in the no-pocket style so I can cycle through them during the week for my outdoor walks/runs. Fit-wise, if you're not looking for something super-snug, I'd suggest going a size up. The legs are a little long on me, but I'm short (5'1") and I'm used to things being a little long on me. My only gripe about these is that the side pocket isn't anywhere near big enough to hold my phone, but I've got a huge phone, so I'm used to it not fitting in pockets easily. Long story short: I love these, and if you're looking for warm leggings, either for working out or for lounging around the house, you should get a pair of these." —Beth Lynn Nolen

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL, in 19 colors, and in three different pocket options).

    12. And a super cozy oversized pullover sweatshirt that is light enough to make it easy to travel with, but warm enough to keep you from getting chilly. It makes for the perfect casual airport outfit!

    A reviewer wearing the grey sweatshirt

    I recently bought this for a trip to Seattle and let me tell you, it was sooo comfy. I wore it on the plane, and it was warm enough to keep me from shivering (the way I always do on planes, because they insist on being super cold) but breathable enough so that it wouldn't feel too stuffy. I have it in both the cream and dark green colors — both are so cute and perfect to pair with leggings for a comfy airport outfit.

    Promising review: "I was in need of a jacket that was light enough to pack for a trip but warm enough for the environment that I was traveling to. This pullover delivered! I was able to roll it down in my carry on without being over weight. The quality is top tier. It’s very soft on the outside and warm on the inside. I did size up for that oversized fit so I got an XL. Very good decision. I want to get them in every color." —The Glamologist

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 27 colors).

    13. A pack of stain-removing wipes (plus a spray!) to have in your bag both on and off the plane. Whether it's a stain caused by turbulence or from spilling coffee on your shirt as you rush to your gate, this little guy will lift it right off and save you from going into panic mode.

    Simply spray, blot, rinse, and watch the stain disappear! These are free of peroxide, chlorine, phosphates, sulphates, perfumes, and dyes.

    Promising review: "Wow! Great for travel and for keeping in my purse. I found these at a party and used one to get red wine out of a pair of white pants. I was amazed at the effectiveness. Purchased a box to keep on hand. The wipes are exactly as described. No ring or stain was left behind on my white pants after spilling red wine. Easy to pack, cost is reasonable. The size of the wipe is useful and stays wet. There is a bit of texture to the wipe that aids in the removal of stains. Highly recommend. I don’t travel without them! A must have item." —Barbara

    Get a set with 10 wipes and a spray bottle from Amazon for $11.99 (available in multiple styles).

    14. A lightweight anti-theft backpack because it's waterproof and has a wet bag, shoe compartment, laptop compartment, luggage strap, and a built-in charging port. It's also spacious while still being able to fit under an airplane seat. So basically, it's everything you could possibly need in a travel backpack.

    Promising review: "I have sent the link for this bag to so many loved ones because it has changed the way I’ve traveled. I have always been the over packers having to pay excess weight fees on my luggage. Since using this bag I have been able to cut down to a carry-on and personal item most trips. Come the end of this year, my husband and I will have been on eight trips. This bag has been with us for half of them. I use it as my personal item and easily pack shoes, a large cosmetic bag, hair tools, clothes, a steamer, snacks, chargers, and other small items — it holds so much. The cream color is very stylish and it is easy to clean. I cannot explain enough how much I love it. I’ll be ordering my husband one in another color for our longer trips." —Mads

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three sizes, two styles, and 32 colors).

    15. A highly portable small power bank charger because having a quick and easy way to get a charge on your phone is a MUST when traveling anywhere. (Especially when you know you'll be out all day!) Oh, and it has over 57,000 5-star ratings!

    Check it out on TikTok here

    Promising review: "This little gem is amazing! This year we were fortunate enough to do some local traveling and attend quite a few concerts this year. I take a ton of videos and pictures, often draining the battery. This power-packed product charged not only my phone when it was low, but my boyfriend’s AND the girl next to her!! Since you can only take small bags into venues, this slipped right into the pocket behind my phone! We had numerous comments on it because of the little paw charge indicator. The flashing came in handy a few times when we found ourselves in the dark! I will be buying more and giving them as gifts this year!" —Annetastic

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

    16. An exhaustive packing checklist to help ensure that you arrive at (and depart from) your destination with absolutely everything you need! Much more helpful than having to open up your Notes app every time you think of something you might forget to pack before you leave the next morning.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "We travel frequently and have two children. As any parent knows, packing for yourself and your children can be overwhelming (especially for a trip longer than a few days). I have found this list to be a lifesaver and I also give it as a gift for other traveling families. It is easy to plan, organize, and list out items that are easily forgotten. You can also list the quantity of each item needed. It has a variety of clothing options and space to add more. Overall, wonderful purchase and has likely saved me many forgotten items!" —I-really-bought-this

    Get it from Amazon for $7

    17. A large Béis suitcase you'll soon consider the luggage piece of your dreams. This spacious 29-inch suitcase features lots of pockets and can be expanded if you need that extra space (aka always). You won't even have to stress about its weight — it has a weight limit indicator that'll let you know if your baggage is too heavy! Be ready to look down on everyone else's ~basic~ luggage as you grab your super chic suitcase at baggage claim.

    Béis is a woman-owned travel accessories brand founded by actress and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell. You'll find carry-on rollers, weekender bags, packing cubes, and more practical goods for your next trip!

    Promising review: "Flawless! I am obsessed with this luggage. I ordered the three-piece set and the weekender bag! The zipper slot to slip the bag over the luggage handle makes loading and trekking through the airport so much easier. The interior of all pieces are great quality and I love the small touches (pockets, laundry bags, etc.) Zippers are all sturdy and the locks are very easy to use. A++!" —Lisa B. 

    Get it from Béis for $328 (available in 10 colors and also in two smaller sizes). 

    18. Or a lightweight three-piece luggage set that comes with a 28-inch suitcase, a 24-inch suitcase, and a carry-on 20-inch suitcase. They each have a TSA-accepted lock and 360-degree spinner wheels that'll make it super easy to rush from Starbucks to your gate when your realize your plane started boarding five minutes ago.

    Promising review: "I bought this a few months ago when I knew I'd be flying across the country (more or less) twice this past spring/summer; it was the first new luggage I had bought in about 25 years. I've taken the set on several trips now — two round-trip flights with plane changes, a couple of two-night road-trip hotel stays, a six-day 1,800-mile road trip, and a mandatory wildfire evacuation, and I really, really like it. It rolls like a dream on hard floors, sidewalks, and parking lots — makes it easy for two people to manage three suitcases, each with a laptop bag or duffel attached. The bright red color (my favorite shade of red) really pops and makes it easy to pick out of a luggage carousel. It's lightweight and goes in and out of a hatchback with ease. This set truly makes travel even more fun. Well worth the money." —Rachel

    Get it from Amazon for $179.99+ (available in 22 colors).

    19. stylish and durable travel belt to make sure your tote bag stays attached to your suitcase handle as you walk (or in my case, run) to your gate.

    Promising review: "Such a simple yet brilliant solution for the ever-falling bag when trying to juggle all your luggage. It definitely made traveling less stressful." —Samantha

    Get it from Cincha for $39.99 (available in 17 colors) or from Amazon for $35.99 (available in 10 colors).

    20. set of packing cubes because as the weather gets colder, the clothes we pack just seem to take up more and more room. These compact containers will let you maximize the amount of space in your luggage and the number of outfits you're taking. It's a win-win!

    This set comes with an extra large cube, large cube, medium cube, small cube, roomy shoe bag, and a laundry bag for dirty clothes!

    Promising review: "I found out about the packing cubes on TikTok from a woman that travels all over and she mentioned these travel cubes and knew I had to get them. I travel and usually stay in one spot for more than a month so packing gets tricky. I can now pack more neatly and have more room for all the clothes I travel with." —Magen Vaughn

    Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $21.99 (available in 13 colors).

    21. hands-free (rotating!) phone mount to use with your tray table, chair arm, luggage handle, or really any flat surface! They can dare to delay your flight again — you'll just sit back and sip your chai tea latte as you commence your annual Gilmore Girls binge-watch.

    Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multileg, 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+ (available in three colors). 

    22. And an AirFly Pro wireless transmitter if you're tired of having to use wired headphones during your flight. With this, you can easily connect to your seat TV screen with your AirPods and enjoy your selection of movies and TV shows without any annoying wires in the way.

    See one TikTok user using it with their AirPod Pros here

    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 more than one headset! Thank you!!!" —Ryan Malloy

    Get it from Amazon for $54.95+ (available in three styles and two colors).

    23. A pack of three compact pill organizers that make taking your daily vitamins and pills as easy as if you were home. They each have eight moisture-proof compartments, a double lock so that every pill stays in its place, and they come with handy labels.

    Check it out on TikTok here.

    Promising review: "I browsed several options for pill containers to use while traveling. I was looking for more than four compartments while still being compact. This container worked perfectly! The side with the two bigger compartments was necessary for my large daily multivitamin, while the smaller compartments held several doses of OTC medications to be used as needed. The container is very durable and I really like the security of the outside clasp. The standard weekly pill container I had been using was too long for my purse and the slots popped open on occasion. Not with this guy! I plan to use another one of the three containers for a first aid kit." —Melissa

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $6.62+ (available in three color combinations).

    24. A water-resistant cosmetic bag for anyone who can't help traveling with dozens of beauty products. It comes with four spacious compartments that'll help keep everything organized and a hook so that you can hang it behind a door or on a closet rod. (Hello, extra counter space!) With this, you'll have your entire beauty routine nice and spread out without even having to unpack it at all!

    Promising reviews: "I saw this on TikTok and purchased it for my trip! Got back home and use it in my own bathroom. I love it that much! Best Amazon purchase I’ve ever made!" —Amazon Customer

    "I bought this bag specifically for when I travelled across the country with my two small children. One of whom is a medically complex child. I put ALL of my toiletries, ALL their toiletries, and ALL of my son's medications in this bag. Everything fit perfectly, and nothing was broken. The hanger is durable and carried lots of weight when it hanged on the back of the bathroom door. I bought the largest size, and it was 100% worth what I paid for. If you are traveling by yourself, I would recommend the smaller size. But if you are packing for others or just pack heavy, definitely buy the larger size. I absolutely loved it! And it was very compact in my suitcase. Very sturdy as I carried it. I HIGHLY recommend buying." —Hannah Funderburk

    Get it from Amazon for $18.39+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors). 

    25. A set of Sea Bands if you tend to get motion sickness on plane rides (or really anything that moves). It applies acupressure to each wrist and helps relive nausea and vomiting so that you can finally enjoy your much-deserved vacay.

    Reviewers swear by these nonmedicated bands for nausea relief: they've used them while traveling on airplanes, boats, and cars and for morning sickness during pregnancies. Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

    Check the bands out on TikTok here.

    Promising review: "I bought these for an upcoming cruise, but thought I would try them out when flying (as I tend to get motion sickness even after taking Dramamine). I was very surprised that I had no motion sickness after wearing these on two different work trips. I also took these on a cruise and only had to use them once. Once I felt the motion sickness coming on, I put on the bands and the sickness was gone in about 15 minutes. They came in a nice plastic case and are reusable." —Jessica

    Promising review: "My ankles got really swollen after a 14-hour plane ride last year so I thought I would give these a try. I recently completed another 14-hour plane ride and these socks really did their job! I had them on for a good 24 hours straight and they remained comfortable the whole time. My ankles were not swollen after the long plane ride. My legs and feet felt really good after the plane ride and the day after. The sock can be stretched over the knee but I did not stretch it that much and left the socks right below the knee. The socks stayed in place the whole time." —MYamo

    Promising reviews: "I bought this because of someone on TikTok who had purchased this. Extremely convenient and cute! They’re very soft, and I’ve been using mine to hold cash and lip balm. I wish there were more colors!" —Michaela

    "I bought these since I was going on a long vacation by myself. I rolled my money and was able to fit it inside the scrunchie. It’s soft, very stretchy and fits my wrist! I didn’t have any issues with the zipper. I wore it on my wrist all the time and put money/lip balm inside it. It worked great during my vacation. This would be perfect to stash some things inside!" —Jessica Sandoval

    Promising review: "Great for traveling! I’m visiting my sister and I always over pack. I honestly probably only need two pairs of shoes but I’m taking extra for different outfits. I was able to fit my Minnie Mouse Vans in the larger compartment, and Tory Burch sandals and my [faux] Birkenstocks in this bag. I like that it all fits in one bag versus having three bags to keep track of. Also the carrying handle makes it easier to carry all pairs together. The back also has a small pocket to store a couple of no-show socks (I have one pair in the pocket)." —Jackie

    Promising review: "This bag held surprisingly more than expected. I put tiny travel jars for my skincare creams and other small toiletries in it with room to spare. I definitely feel like it was easier to pack and was also easy to grab out of my bag for security. It feels sturdy with nice, thick vinyl. The double zipper moved easily, and I was pleased that it opened completely for ease of getting the items I needed out of it." —Mrs M Tate

    Promising reviews: "Just received this and so far so good! Inflates within mere seconds and the same to deflate. Seems really supportive and comfortable. I was influenced by a TikTok review so I’m assuming it’ll be a gem on flights!" —Katelyn

    "Used this on four international flights last month, and it made all the difference in the world. It's compact, quick and easy to inflate/deflate, very versatile in how you can position it, and it doesn't rely on the tray table. I can very comfortably lean forward in my seat and sleep almost like I can in a bed." —Still Chilly in Colorado

    Promising review: "The best stroller for traveling! We bought this on a whim for our last-minute trip to Houston. Our toddler is 2 years old, and what a breeze this was to stroll through the airport and fold up so it can stow away under our seats on the plane. It is so compact, so easy, and my husband enjoys entertaining everyone and showing them how small it gets. If you have a little jet setter and fly frequently with a little one, I highly recommend!!" —Kimmie Paulo
