Travel is rarely as simple as grabbing a bag and heading out the door. Nowadays, you likely need to pack your laptop, tablet, earbuds and phone — and don’t forget the chargers. This case keeps all of the cables neatly organized with layers and a variety of compartments to make sure nothing gets tangled.

“This is perfect for all the cords and gadgets for a flight,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “It’s about the size of my hand, and even comes with a wristband. This is very lightweight, but really nice quality.”

Once you start using Apple AirTags to keep tabs on checked luggage while traveling, you’ll never hop on a plane without them again. These tiny trackers use Apple’s Find My network to help you locate missing luggage — even if it winds up across the country.

Traveling is stressful enough, so when there’s no in-flight entertainment system, it’s definitely a bummer.

“I’m getting ready for flight attendant training and wanted to buy these to help me organize the many things I need to bring,” wrote one reviewer. “What surprised me is that both pairs of high heels fit in the shoe bag.”

If your feet swell when you fly, you’re not alone — it’s caused by cabin pressure, and investing in some good compression socks is an easy fix. They help increase blood circulation, especially if you’re on a lengthy flight and will be sitting for hours on end. These popular compression socks have over 59,000 five-star reviews and shoppers say they’re great for bigger calves too.

“Best compression socks I have ever bought,” one happy traveler said. “These are great quality and easy to put on but do not ‘strangle’ my calves. The compression is consistent after using and washing for months — they do not lose their elasticity.”

“I’ve gone through several kinds of neck pillows and this is my favorite,” one flight crew member wrote. “I have a bad neck (arthritis and a reversed C-spine). I had to sleep with it once in a hotel because their pillows were dreadful and found it more comfortable! As a flight attendant, I recommend!”

If you’ve ever tried sleeping on an airplane, you already know that it’s easier said than done. Reading lights, laptop screens and tiny bands of light coming in from the windows are all distractions to your slumber.

It’s soft on the skin and, while it’s structured around the eyes, it gives them ample space so they feel lightly cradled in darkness.

“What a difference it made!” one of over 70,000 five-star reviewers wrote. “[I] was able to sleep on the plane and have no disruptions from light.”

When it comes to air travel, your personal item is your BFF. It holds all your must-have essentials, ready for quick, under-seat access throughout your journey.

You’re in a brand new place — possibly one where you don’t speak the language — that phone of yours better not run out of juice! A high-quality power bank can keep this nightmare at bay. This model from trusted tech brand Anker juices up the iPhone 12 up to two times on a single charge. Since it’s super slim, you can just slide it in your pocket or bag and it will barely take up any space.

“This was a savior when I was traveling, to charge my iPhone whose battery dies quickly when taking a lot of pictures. This is a must-have item. Slim and sleek, a bit heavy if you are walking all day but worth it,” wrote one shopper.
