A reliable, comfy pair of sneakers is a must for travel. Trust me, you’ll need them when you’re touring a new city or racing through TSA to catch a flight. You don’t want blisters or achey arches to hold you back.

I always keep a pair of nipple covers in my bag when I’m traveling. They seriously come in clutch when my go-to just doesn’t cut it.

We don’t mix our clean clothes with our dirty ones at home, so why make an exception while traveling? These bags make it easy to keep them separate—and they even compress, so they won’t take up extra space in your suitcase.

Not only is this a travel essential, but also a life essential! Retractable chargers are such a space-saving hack and let you adapt to whatever situation you’re in—whether it’s charging your laptop on the go or using an extra-long cord while lounging in bed. Believe me, wrestling with tangled wires is not something you’d want to do in the main cabin.

The last thing you want when it suddenly starts raining while you’re traveling is to be forced to buy an overpriced umbrella that probably won’t last long—or fit in your purse. Plan ahead and add this one to your cart: it’s so tiny it can fit in your pocket (it’s only about seven inches long!).

Carsickness and the first few days abroad—when I’m still adjusting to the time change—always trigger my nausea, so when I say I don’t know how I would’ve enjoyed any of my recent vacations without this inhaler, I truly mean it. It has a strong herbal aroma that brings almost instant relief and completely prevents that empty-stomach, queasy feeling.

Consider these on-sale AirPods your golden ticket to in-flight bliss. They'll drown out screaming babies and your seatmate's incessant snoring, no prob.

Reading a traditional book is charming—until you have to lug it around on a trip, risking bent pages and scuffed covers. A portable reader like the Kindle Paperwhite makes things much easier (and lighter!). Plus, it lets you carry an entire library in one compact device.

Personally, I can't leave the house—let alone the state or country—without my emotional support water bottle. If you're looking for a study-friendly option that keeps your drinks cold for hours and is easy to carry around, may I point you to this Stanley Cup that's on sale RN.

This chocolate brown color?? So chic—and on sale! You’ll get immersive sound (with two distinct listening modes), as well as one-touch pairing and up to 40 hours total of battery life.

Harsh plane A/C is no match for this cozy travel wrap-slash-scarf. Snag the style in organic cotton or the cashmere cotton blend if you booked your flight on points and have a few extra bucks to blow.

You will not catch me on an airplane without compression socks, that's for sure! They boost circulation and reduce swelling, which is a lifesaver at high altitudes.

It’s time you invest in an Apple AirTag if you’re someone who gets anxious about losing their belongings while traveling. You can attach it to your keys or put it inside a purse/luggage and you’ll be able to track its whereabouts as long as it’s within a certain vicinity of another iPhone.

Let me tell you—a travel bag designed for my hair tools has been a total game-changer. This one’s a standout because it doesn’t just hold your tools; it also rolls out into a heat-protectant mat, so you never have to worry about damaging furniture.

Hannah Oh, shopping editor, swears by this gem with over 35,000 reviews. "I, like most people, used to use a travel pillow, but my dad introduced me to the trtl years ago and I’ve never gone back," she said. "It stabilizes your neck because it goes higher up than your average donut pillow, so your head is less likely to fall forward as you’re trying to sleep in economy—and it’s significantly lighter and easier to carry around (plus you won’t look like a tourist if looking cool at the airport is something you care about)."

Instead of just throwing your shoes into your travel bag, put them in individual shoe bags! These keep them away from your clothes and other items you don’t wanna get dirty.

No need to stress about how you're gonna sleep abroad without your precious sound machine! This itty bitty one—that can legit fit on the palm of your hand—has 16 soothing nature sounds, including ocean waves, rain, birds, fan sounds, and white noise.

When you think of a Euro summer, cute bikinis and sandals might be the first things that come to mind. But don’t forget, it's definitely not complete without European-compatible plug adapters!

Never worry about your suitcase being overweight again with this handheld scale. Just loop it through the handle of your suitcase, lift it, and you’ll get its exact weight. And with over 65,000 (!!) glowing reviews, you know it's a trustworthy product.

If you’re traveling during the summer season or somewhere that’s going to have hot weather, trust me when I say having a portable fan will be a game-changer. (And FYI, I am a self-proclaimed sweaty girl so I know how it goes.) Whenever you’re feeling like you’re overheating, whip this bad boy out—it’s got five speeds and an ultra-quiet motor, p.s.—and you’ll instantly feel cool. It’s compact enough to fit in most purses so you can easily bring it around with you wherever.
