If You're Only Bringing A Carry-On On Vacation, You Should Pack These 12 Items

If You're Only Bringing A Carry-On On Vacation, You Should Pack These 12 Items

Buzz Feed02-05-2025
1. A waterproof Kindle you can consider a pocket-size portal to another dimension. It's compact, glare-free, and has a ton of storage for thousands of books, plus a battery life that lasts much longer than your seven-hour flight — up to 10 weeks!
It also features adjustable warm light that's much easier on your eyes.
Abby: ^ Yes, that is me sitting in a pool in Hawaii holding my Kindle over the water without fear or stress that if it falls in, it will break. Truly living my best life.
Promising review:"I LOVE reading and being able to access a book anywhere with this thing. It is easy to navigate, very easy to read and adjust the brightness or how warm the light is. It doesn't auto adjust, but I don't need that feature. I've read in bright sunlight to dark rooms, and it's always been so clear. You can adjust the font and use the library to search whatever books you want. Makes packing books for traveling very easy. Battery life lasts me two weeks if I'm reading every day for a few hours." — R@L0
Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (available in three colors and with or without lockscreen ads).
2. A set of packing cubes that help you squeeze in more by keeping everything neat and compressed. You'll be amazed at how much you can fit in your carry-on, and since everything is organized into little sections, it'll be a snap to unpack and get on with your trip!
Promising review:"I travel frequently and travel light. My luggage is usually limited to a backpack that slides under the airline seat. For a two-week European cruise, I added a carry-on rolling suitcase. I've used these packing cubes twice so far, and I am hooked. One cube holds everything (including clothing) I take on a three-night trip. The cube slides into my pack, saving massive amounts of room, and everything is easy to find during travel and at the hotel. Taking out one cube and unzipping is much better than digging through a pack! I will never leave home without these!" — Gura
Get a set of four packing cubes (also comes with a laundry bag) from Amazon for $21.99 (available in 25 colors and two sets).
3. Or a Stow-N-Go travel organizer that's basically a portable closet. You can arrange everything while you pack, and when you get to your destination, just hang it up and that's it! You'll have perfectly organized clothes for the whole trip.
www.amazon.com
Abby: Plus, it has a zipper compartment at the bottom you can put all your dirty clothes in, so they don't get mixed together and you end up just washing everything when you get home (because that's usually what happens to me).
Promising review:"I just love it. I travel a lot. Now I don't have to hang anything up but my organizer. I can see what I pack and where everything is. Just love it. I can easily fit seven days' worth of outfits and three pairs of shoes in a carry-on suitcase. Just great." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors).
4. A strap to keep your personal items (neck pillow, jacket, purse, etc.) together so you can easily run around the airport without worrying about leaving anything behind.
Amazon
Promising review:"I love this little gadget. I used it to attach my jacket and computer bag to my luggage on an extended business trip. It made my airport walks so much easier. Now that I'm back home, I've been using it daily to attach my jacket or cardigan to my work bag or purse." — Michele
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in six colors).
5. A splurge-worthy set of Cadence Capsules that stick together ~magnetically~ and take up way less space in your bag than big pill bottles. They'll help you condense so you're bringing what you actually need (and not overpacking); plus, they're leakproof and incredibly sturdy so you can fill 'em with whatever: creams, vitamins, small jewelry — truly anything small that you want to keep safe.
The "daily routine" set includes four medium and three small capsules as well as magnetic, interchangeable labels for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturizer, cleanser, a pill icon, and a blank tile.
They also offer skincare, bodycare, haircare, and pill case sets as well as extenders that increase the size of the capsule! And if you fall in love with these and *really* want to customize your collection, head to their site to build your own unique set.
Cadence is an AAPI woman-owned small business that was founded by Steph Hon with the goal of eliminating single-use travel-sized plastics. The containers are made from recycled ocean-bound plastic.
Abby: I have a set of four of these, and, wow, I love them so much. I used them on a six-day trip, and they were perfect. I customized the label so I knew which one was my shampoo vs. conditioner and did a general label for any other things I wanted to bring along. They do hold a surprising amount. According to the brand, they hold approximately one to two weeks of skincare products, more than two weeks' worth of serum, two to three days' worth of haircare, and more than 15 tablets (for medicine and such). And while two to three days worth of haircare might not seem like enough, I found it held more than that for me, but I also don't wash my hair every single day. They were small enough to slip right into my toiletries bag and go through TSA with no problem. The container was easy to open in the shower (even with wet hands), and I had no leakage from them (like I did from my face wash bottle that will not be making the trip with me next time. SMH). These are an incredibly useful tool anyone who travels will want in their luggage.
Get the daily routine set from Amazon for $138 (available in three colors and other sets).
6. Or a TSA-approved 16-piece travel toiletries set with a container for each and every one of your tried-and-true faves so you don't have to spend more money on the travel-size versions. These are reusable and leakproof, so your products (and other stuff in your bag!) will stay protected.
www.amazon.com
The set comes with four bottles, four jars, two spray bottles, two scoopers (to help transfer creams), one funnel (to help transfer liquids), one cleaning brush, a page of labels, and a bag that everything fits in.
Promising review:"I've purchased a lot of different travel sets for my toiletries over the years. Inevitably, they are hard to fill and tend to leak. This set was magic! The wide mouth made it easy to fill from a larger bottle, and the little scoops made transferring creams to the jar containers very easy and with much less mess. The only con (hardly worth mentioning) is that once you squeeze the bottle, it takes a few minutes to expand with air again, so the sides are a bit sunken. I solved that by unscrewing the top just a bit for a quick release of the vacuum pressure. I had no leaks, and plenty of containers for every toiletry." — MDC
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight colors).
7. A Hackwith Design House shirt because there's nothing more travel-friendly than a top you can wear *five* different ways (that we know of — but you might discover more playing around with it). It's timeless because you can always change how you style it, and it's made from a high-quality fabric that's soft, breathable, and can last for years.
Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small business that creates made-to-order apparel. This shirt can be worn as a V-neck, off-the-shoulder, boatneck, V-back, and even open as a jacket. And the color is simple, which means it can be paired well with many different bottoms.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart says:"I have this shirt and I *love* it. All credit for its discovery goes to TikToker @jennifer.bianca who I happened to stumble across on my FYP. It checks all my boxes: black, comfortable, versatile, and durable. My initial worry was that I wouldn't feel secure in it (I have a 34G chest and most wrap tops/dresses I've tried haven't stayed where they're supposed to), but I haven't had an issue with this! I've worn it tied in the front giving me a square neck (like the middle picture) and tied in the back giving me a V-neck up front (just like the photo on the right) — both were super comfortable, and I didn't have to adjust myself at all. As someone whose weight fluctuates, I also appreciate that this piece can handle pounds gained and lost. The fabric is medium weight, so I'll be wearing it season to season, and there's just enough elasticity in the arms that if you roll up your sleeves, they won't fall back down. All that is to say trust that I will be buying additional colors!"
Get it from Hackwith Design House for $145 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and in three colors).
8. A 2-in-1 hair tool that curls and straightens so you can achieve the perfect balance of texture and shine with just *one* tool. It's easy to pack for trips, *and* it's dual-voltage so you can have gorgeous hair no matter the country you're visiting.
Amazon
Promising review:"Don't be fooled by the tiny price or size, this little baby is serious. If you are looking for a small travel option rather than lugging your big straightener and giant curling iron around the world, than I think you'll love this. It performs really well, turning my frizzy wavy hair into a smooth and sleek style. The curling iron option also creates shiny, silky lasting curls! It's easy to transition between both. I also like the grippy handle and the fact that the curling iron clip is a different color than the straightening bars because that helps me see how I should be maneuvering it around. The voltage goes up to 240m, so you are good using it internationally without a converter (but you will need an adapter just to fit it into various foreign outlets). At this price, definitely give it a try and flaunt your tresses abroad." — Christine
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors).
9. A portable rain hood to pair with *any* jacket so you don't have to try to cram in your practical raincoats. You can keep it in your bag for any impromptu downpours!
Amazon
All it is is a hood attached to a vest you can wear under *any* jacket to protect yourself (and your hair) from whatever the weather has planned.
Promising review: "I love this! The quality is very nice and it fits great. Wore it last week in the rain with a coat I love that doesn't have a hood and it was perfect. It slips right under your jacket so all you see is the hood, so it pretty much blends in with your jacket. Such a great idea! Wish there were more colors and patterns, I'd order more." — Jill Hammel
Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in two sizes).
10. A flying USB port with four spots to plug in your gadgets so you don't have to pack different power adapters. And bonus: This allows you to make the most of that one working outlet you managed to find at the airport!
Multitasky
Multitasky is a woman-founded and -run small business that began in 2020 as a way for founder Julia Xu to create products that were both functional and cute.
Promising review:"It does as it says it does, allowing my Dell XPS15 to operate a pair of USB devices from my lightning port! The laptop has two USB ports, one of which is always occupied by my USB mouse dongle and the other by my protected USB drive. If I wanted to plug in my phone to switch data or add another thumb drive to transfer a device, everything might have to be disconnected, but not anymore. It was really worth it." — Liberty
Get it from Multitasky for $25 (available in three colors).
11. A Subtl Beauty Stack to condense up to nine makeup products into one small stack. You can customize yours with anything from lip tints to face powder. And as convenient as it is for travel, it's also perfect to keep in your purse for any on-the-go touch-ups!
Subtl Beauty
Each stack also includes a mirror lid, a base, and a mini brush.
Promising review:"I absolutely love how compact this product is. I have been pleasantly surprised at how natural the makeup feels and I love the natural look it provides. I originally purchased it for traveling, but have been using it daily and love it!" — Paula Bowie
Get the Starter Stack from Subtl Beauty for $60 (available in 19 tones), or customize your own stack starting at $12+ per layer, with up to nine product types available.
12. A skyline mini wallet emergency kit packed with the practical items that are easy to forget (like hair ties, tampons, Tylenol, and more!) while still being small enough to fit in your purse — so it definitely *won't* take up too much space in your carry-on.
Anne Cate
Anne Cate is a woman-owned small business based in Cleveland, Ohio that handmakes minimalist keepsakes with a skyline from more than 100 cities and colleges around the world!
The kit includes a hair tie, ChapStick, two floss pics, a sewing kit, bandages, emery board, two safety pins, two earring backs, a makeup wipe, two bobby pins, two mints, a deodorant wipe, a Shout wipe, a tampon, hand sanitizer, and Tylenol.
Promising review: "I'm heading to Rome this fall with my best friend and our husbands. I thought this would be the cutest little emergency case to bring along so I got each of us one. I am so excited to give it to her. She will love the Rome skyline and all the goodies inside." — Jen
Get it from Anne Cate for $25 (available in 96 skylines).

The most powerful passports of 2025: The US and the UK fall, while India rises

Singapore has the world's strongest passport — again, according to the latest Henley Passport Index. The ranking, released Tuesday, shows the small nation-state retaining the top spot in the index, after it broke a six-way tie for the accolade earlier this year. In 2024, Singapore shared the top ranking with Japan, Germany, Italy, Spain and France. The latest ranking shows Japan and South Korea tied for second place, with the other former No. 1 contenders tied for third place with Denmark, Finland and Ireland. The Henley Passport Index is a widely followed ranking of global passports, which assesses passport strength by one metric — the number of destinations holders can visit without needing to obtain a visa. The index ranks countries according to data provided by the International Air Transport Association, it said. The ranking focuses mainly on ease of travel, while another ranking closely monitored by CNBC Travel, the Nomad Passport Index, ranks passports by five criteria, including taxation, and is more focused on global citizenship. Henley's latest ranking shows the U.S. passport slipping to 10th place from United Kingdom's passport also moved down the list, landing in sixth place from fifth, it showed. This represents a continuation of a "long-term downward trend" for the two countries — both of which were once considered the most powerful passports in the world, according to Henley & Partners. "Notably, the U.S. is now on the brink of exiting the Top 10 altogether for the first time in the index's 20-year history," the company said in a statement. The top 10 list shows a ranking mostly dominated by European countries, but led by three key Asian economies: 1 Singapore 2. Japan2. South Korea3. Denmark3. Finland3. France3. Germany3. Ireland3. Italy3. Spain4. Austria 4. Belgium4. Luxembourg4. Netherlands4. Norway4. Portugal4. Sweden5. Greece5. New Zealand5. Switzerland6. United Kingdom7. Australia7. Czechia 7. Hungary7. Malta7. Poland8. Canada8. Estonia8. United Arab Emirates9. Croatia9. Latvia9. Slovakia9. Slovenia10. Iceland10. Lithuania10. United States Singaporeans can access 193 countries without needing a visa, while the countries tied for the 10th spot can access 182, according to the ranking. India's passport jumped the most of any country in the past six months, rising to 77th from 85th, according to Henley & Partners. An analysis of the ranking over the past decade showed the UAE rising 34 places in the ranking, the company said. It is the only "big riser" to break into the top 10 during this time, it said. China also rose 34 spots in the past 10 years, the company said, a move it called "particularly impressive" considering that China doesn't have visa-free access to Europe's Schengen Area. Afghanistan's passport remained in last place on the list, granting visa-free access to just 25 countries worldwide, the company said.

Australian group TFE to debut in UK with two apartment-hotels

Australia-based hotel management company TFE Hotels is making its debut into the UK market with the opening of two Adina-branded apartment-hotels in Cambridge and Glasgow. The Hobson Cambridge by Adina and The Wellington Glasgow by Adina are scheduled to open in the third quarter of this year. TFE Hotels CEO Antony Ritch said: 'The UK debut and the establishment of a UK Country Office by Asli Kutlucan, CEO Europe, is a natural evolution of TFE Hotels' global strategy and signals the beginning of an exciting new chapter in one of the world's most competitive hospitality markets.' 'After more than two decades of successful growth across continental Europe, we're also excited to work with partners in the UK to bring the Adina brand to two cities that reflect our values—vibrant, globally connected, and culturally compelling. 'Europe is a real platform for growth for us as an organisation, and Cambridge and Glasgow as the ideal launchpads for our UK presence, offering strong demand across both leisure and corporate travel sectors.' The 56-key Hobson Cambridge by Adina is situated in a former police station and combines historic architecture with modern design. It will offer a signature bar and restaurant in a glass-roofed courtyard. Wellington Glasgow by Adina offers 98 studio apartments. TFE London chief investment officer Andrew Hunter said: 'We see the UK as a high-potential market that complements our existing operations. 'Establishing a presence here enhances global visibility for our brands and allows us to better serve long-haul travellers from the Asia–Pacific and North America, as well as intra-European guests seeking premium, apartment-style accommodation.' TFE Hotels has operations across Germany, Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Hungary, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. In February 2024, TFE Hotels announced the signing of a new property, the Adina Apartment Hotel Chermside in Brisbane. "Australian group TFE to debut in UK with two apartment-hotels" was originally created and published by Hotel Management Network, a GlobalData owned brand.

Easy Nonstops from LAX to Europe: Your Ultimate Shortcut to Seamless Journeys

Let's be honest. When Europe calls from our Southern California doorstep, there's only one way to truly answer: with a direct flight from LAX. Ditching those dreaded layovers isn't just about saving a few hours; it's about safeguarding your precious energy, arriving completely refreshed, and sliding effortlessly into the European rhythm the moment your wheels touch down. You know the drill: the frantic dashes through unfamiliar terminals, the last-minute gate changes, the nagging worry about a missed connection. It's draining. A direct flight eliminates all that. You settle in. You relax. You wake up there, ready to explore. For the discerning traveler who values efficiency and comfort above all, these non-stop routes aren't just an option; they're the ultimate travel strategy. So, let's talk about the absolute best direct connections from LAX. These are the routes that give you the most benefit for your in-air investment. They turn travel time into pure gain, especially when flying to the most popular destinations in Europe and beyond. On average, direct flights from LAX to Europe operate daily, with typical flight durations ranging from 10 to 12 hours, making your journey as efficient as possible. When it comes to flying out of Los Angeles International Airport, travelers are spoiled for choice. LAX is a true global gateway, with a lineup of popular airlines offering direct flights to some of the world's most exciting destinations – no layovers required. For those heading to classic U.S. hotspots, airlines like United Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, Alaska Airlines and Southwest keep the skies busy with nonstop flights to cities like San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, New York and Houston. Whether you're jetting off for business or a quick getaway, these carriers make it easy to find a flight that fits your schedule. But if you're dreaming of Europe? LAX connects you directly to the continent with renowned international airlines. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic whisk you straight to London, while Air France and Delta (often in partnership) make Paris just an overnight flight away. Turkish Airlines, ITA Airways and TAP Portugal open up even more European options, from Istanbul to Rome and Lisbon. But the world from Los Angeles doesn't stop at Europe. Air Canada offers direct flights to Canada's vibrant cities, while Asiana Airlines and Korean Air connect you to Asia and beyond. For something a little more exotic, Air Tahiti Nui can have you sipping coconut water in Tahiti, and Cayman Airways offers a sun-soaked escape to the Cayman Islands – all with a single, seamless flight from LAX. With so many airlines operating direct flights from Los Angeles, finding the perfect route is all about matching your travel dates, departure time and budget. Use online tools to compare flight times and prices, and keep an eye out for special deals – especially if your schedule is flexible. Whether you're chasing the bright lights of London, the flavors of Paris, or the energy of Rome, LAX's nonstop network puts the world within easy reach. London is the quintessential European entry point for a reason: Flying direct from the U.S. (yes, even the West Coast like LAX) to London Heathrow (LHR) is incredibly convenient. Carriers like British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, and United offer multiple daily flights. Many airlines operate modern Airbus aircraft, such as the Airbus A350-900 or Airbus A380, on this route, providing enhanced comfort and amenities. You have options. What makes it a game-changer: The flight time is typically 10-11 hours. That's enough for a solid night's sleep if you pick a red-eye. Arriving at Heathrow is remarkably efficient. The Heathrow Express whisks you to central London in a mere 15-20 minutes. Suddenly, you're not just traveling; you're there. From London, the rest of Europe is truly at your fingertips. Hop a Eurostar to Paris or connect to Brussels. Catch a short-haul flight anywhere else on the continent. London itself, of course, offers endless sophistication – world-class theater, unparalleled dining and layers of history. It's an ideal launchpad for the rest of the UK or mainland Europe, setting the tone for the entire trip. Direct flights to London may be available from other major airports like JFK, but LAX offers unique convenience for West Coast travelers. Ah, Paris! The City of Lights, of love, of impeccable taste. A direct flight from LAX to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is your instant connection to this timeless destination. Think Air France or Delta (which often share passenger loads). Why it's the smart choice: This journey is typically 10.5-11.5 hours. Plenty of time to unwind. CDG offers excellent RER train service directly into the heart of Paris. Or, opt for a comfortable taxi for a more private arrival. Landing direct means you can immediately immerse yourself. Imagine: a leisurely café morning, an exquisite evening stroll along the Seine. No pre-travel fatigue from a connection. It's the perfect way to begin a romantic escape or a solo cultural deep dive. Amsterdam. Many overlook it as a primary destination, but it's an incredibly convenient and charming gateway. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines provides excellent direct service from LAX to Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS). Why it just works: Flight duration is around 10-11 hours. And here's the best part: Schiphol Airport consistently ranks among the world's best. It's so efficient, so easy to navigate. The direct train service to Amsterdam Centraal station is swift and effortless. Once you're in Amsterdam, you're perfectly positioned. Explore the Netherlands' vibrant canal cities. Or, connect effortlessly via Schiphol's extensive short-haul network to virtually any European city. The city itself, with its beautiful canals, world-class museums, and relaxed atmosphere, offers a delightful, unhurried introduction to European charm. It's often my go-to for a relaxed entry point. If your European journey extends into Germany, Central Europe or even further east, a direct flight to Frankfurt (FRA) is a remarkably efficient move. Look for Lufthansa or United (often partners). How it's incredibly efficient: This flight typically takes 10.5-11.5 hours. Frankfurt Airport is a massive and well-oiled machine. It's known for its impressive connectivity and logical layout. You'll find seamless train connections to cities all over Germany, with high-speed rail links to neighboring countries like Belgium, France and Switzerland. While perhaps not as overtly charming as Paris for a first visit, Frankfurt's sheer efficiency makes it an ideal landing spot. It minimizes ground travel time after your transatlantic journey, which is crucial for maximizing your trip. Additionally, Frankfurt often offers competitive price options for travelers seeking both efficiency and value. Dreaming of endless green hills, cozy historic pubs, and that genuine 'céad míle fáilte' (that's a hundred thousand welcomes)? A direct flight from LAX to Dublin (DUB) with Aer Lingus or Delta is your absolute best bet. Why it's so welcoming: The flight duration is similar to other European routes, about 10-11 hours. Dublin Airport is well-equipped and easy to navigate. Straightforward bus and taxi services whisk you into the city center. Aer Lingus and Delta offer flexible ticket options, making it easy to manage your booking and baggage for a smooth journey to Dublin. Landing direct means you can much more quickly jump into Dublin's lively looks and friendly feels. Explore its rich literary history. Enjoy traditional music in a pub. Savor a perfect pint. From Dublin, the rest of Ireland is wonderfully accessible: think about those stunning coastal drives, ancient sites and the charming small towns or Éire. It's a fantastic choice for a culturally immersive trip with an actual relaxed pace. You feel like you're part of the country's fabric from day one. For those whose soul longs for ancient history, unparalleled art, and divine cuisine, a direct flight from LAX to Rome Fiumicino (FCO) with ITA Airways (Italy's national carrier) is simply a must. Why it's THE trip: This journey is one of the longer ones, clocking in at roughly 12 to 13 hours. But the payoff of landing directly without an intermediate stop is immense. FCO is also seamlessly connected to central Rome by the Leonardo Express train. It's a swift transfer. Imagine: you step off a plane, and just a short while later, you're gazing at the Colosseum, or tossing a coin in the Trevi Fountain. Instead of a connectivity hassle, all your energy is saved for exploring incredible layers of history and enjoying truly memorable Roman meals. Traveling to Rome in October offers pleasant weather and fewer crowds, making it an ideal time for a direct trip. If your European vision includes crisp mountain air, pristine lakes, and Swiss precision, a direct flight from LAX to Zurich (ZRH) via SWISS International Air Lines is an exceptional choice. It's beautifully seamless: The flight typically takes around 11 hours. Zurich Airport itself is a masterclass in efficiency and seamless design. It's directly connected to Switzerland's world-renowned train system. You can literally walk off your flight and onto a train. This train can take you to nearly any corner of Switzerland – from the majestic Alps to charming lakeside towns – often without a single transfer. Zurich offers a high quality of life, beautiful lakeside views, world-class museums, and excellent dining. It's a perfectly polished launching pad for an unforgettable Alpine adventure. Dec is a particularly magical time to visit Zurich, with festive markets and easy access to Swiss ski resorts via direct flights. For those captivated by the passionate energy of Spain, its rich artistic heritage, and an intoxicating late-night dining culture, a direct flight from LAX to Madrid Barajas (MAD) with Iberia or American Airlines is your direct invitation. Why so inviting? The flight generally spans 11-12 hours straight into Madrid's Barajas Airport; an effortless connection to the city center via metro or taxi. Landing direct means you can instantly immerse yourself in the Spanish capital's grand boulevards. Explore world-class museums like the Prado. Dive into vibrant tapas bars. And, bonus! Madrid also serves as an excellent central hub for exploring other parts of Spain via its extensive high-speed rail network. Day trips to Toledo or Segovia become effortlessly appealing. Iberia and American Airlines frequently offer special fare deals on direct flights from LAX to Madrid as well, so you can live that Spanish rhythm almost right away. Portugal's captivating capital, Lisbon, has truly blossomed into a must-visit European gem. A direct flight from LAX to Lisbon Portela (LIS) via TAP Air Portugal offers an incredibly convenient and charming journey. TAP Air Portugal's new direct flight provides multiple departures each week from LAX to Lisbon, giving travelers a huge flexibility in trip planning. Why it makes for a truly original vacation: Like many European destinations, this flight clocks in at approximately 11-12 hours. But here's here's a bonus: Lisbon Airport is surprisingly close to the city center. You'll find quick and easy metro or taxi connections that'll have you in the middle of the action in no time at all. Landing direct in Lisbon allows you to immediately begin exploring its historic, hilly neighborhoods, its vibrant culture, and its incredible, fresh culinary scene. From Lisbon, it's also remarkably simple to access other beautiful parts of Portugal – from the renowned Douro Valley wine region to the stunning Algarve coast. It's a fantastic choice for a rich cultural experience paired with that relaxed, sun-drenched atmosphere you're looking for. To truly maximize the benefit of these direct flights, consider a few invaluable tips. In addition to international routes, LAX offers easy nonstop flights to major U.S. cities such as Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Denver, Orlando, Phoenix, Seattle and Washington D.C. These destinations are served daily by multiple airlines and give you a wide range of convenient travel options.
