30 Travel Products For Always Being At The Airport
A 3-in-1 foldable charging pad to power up your iPhone, AirPods, *and* Apple Watch all at once without a million cords tangling in your lap. We all know how hard it is to find one outlet in an airport, let alone three! The pad is also magnetic in case the guy next to you has a case of wide elbows and bumps your charger — everything will stay in place. It's also collapsible to easily slide into your pocket. An eye mask AND travel pillow that wraps around the seat's headrest so you don't have to look (and feel) like a human bobble head trying to get a minute of shut-eye. This pillow will actually offer total head and neck support — finally, cricks be gone — and cover your eyes from your neighbor's annoying reading light. Now just close your eyes and try not to snore; we can't really help you with that. A universal travel adapter to keep your phone charged no matter where you take off and touch down. (It works in over 160 countries — just check the one you're traveling to!) Begone hefty tech bag full of a dozen different adapters and chargers. Now, wheels up! A pill organizer that'll make you the most prepared traveler ever with your own "mini drugstore" in your pocket. If your frequent flying has taught you anything, it's to always keep Pepto on hand for adventurous dining and Zyrtec in case your allergies kick in — and now you can stay ready for anything without a dozen bottles taking up your entire carry-on. An airplane seat back pocket so you can stash your overpriced water bottle, earbuds for watching Crazy Rich Asians, and *flight anxiety* stress ball right in front of you so that you never have to worry about your iPad slipping out of your personal item and sliding all the way to the back of the plane. And if you're always thinking about the people who sat in the seat before you and left their airplane cooties, just know this is machine washable! An AirFly wireless transmitter for everyone who opts for Bluetooth buds, because you're tired of putting up with the uncomfy complimentary earbuds ripping out of your ear after any slight movement in your seat. And since you bought those expensive noise-cancelling earbuds, why not use them and drown out that constant humming of the engine you swear you can hear in your dreams with the amount of flights you take? A set of "Earplanes" that can help regulate air pressure so you don't have to worry about any more in-flight discomfort, apart from your tiny, stiff seat. They're perfect for anyone who dreads the intense cabin pressure from takeoff or landing and wants to just travel stress (and pain) free during the countless work trips their boss swears are imperative. And they'll even drown out some of the noise from the roaring engines, but no promises they'll silence your talkative neighbor who keeps turning over to you with a very pressing question. An airplane window organizer in case you need every inch of that tray table to crack open your laptop because you *forgot* to mention to your boss that you were going on vacation a day early. Just slide it into the window and store your drinks and phone within arm's reach so they're secure and clean. The organizer also lays flat, so it's not a pain to pack! A rotating phone mount that can clip onto your bag when your flight keeps getting delayed with no explanation, and it's officially time to crack into your downloaded movie supply because you never come unprepared. You can even put it on your tray table once you finally get on the flight, so you can go hands-free during the snack and beverage service. A 16-pack of leakproof toiletry bottles so you don't spend all that money on those adorable little minis at Target every time you fly because that's a lot of Benjamins! And no more holding your breath while your bag goes through security because these are TSA-approved, so you won't get stopped... at least not for your toiletries, but no promises when you forget to take your laptop out every time. Or LeakLocks toiletry sleeves that fit snugly over your toiletries — ideal for anyone who's always worried peeking in their checked bag after TSA roughhoused it and seeing gross creamy liquids all over all those clean tees. Just slip these over your shampoo, lotion, and toothpaste, so you don't even have to attempt to funnel your fave products into a smaller bottle. A bendy memory foam travel pillow for anyone who will only ever pick seat A — or, depending on if it's a three-seat or two-seat aisle, perhaps F or D — you know the window is superior, but the plastic window cover needs some cushion. Just wrap this pillow around your neck or bend it like a comfy snake for your long haul, and you'll sleep so hard you might don't worry, it's machine washable! Or a Trtl travel pillow in case your constant flight tickets are racking up and you decide to save some $$$ and skip seat just means a lovely middle This is as easy as wrapping a scarf around your neck, but it'll def be comfier (and better for your neck) as you cozy up on your shoulder. You might even wake up as rested as you would if you were lying down in first class...a dream. Roll-up compression bags, aka an overpacker's new best friend — you'll finally be able to bring all the outfits you want without that annoying voice of rationalization saying no one needs four sweaters in Florida. Maybe you won't have to repack for all the different trips you booked to "make the most of PTO" and just shove it all it one bag despite the different dress codes. And if you come back from vacation with more clothes, or "memories" as you justify them, this will save you some moolah on picking up another bag. A hands-free cup holder your travel days really need so you don't play circus and keep trying to juggle your overpacked luggage, $50 snacks, and a burning hot latte all at once. Secure the Velcro around your roller bag's handle, and you'll look like you really know what you're doing. Do you like, live here or something? A tangle-free cable and electronics organizer that'll keep all your chargers, headphones, and devices in one little pouch without taking five whole minutes to untangle them. And don't worry about the crying baby next to you spilling their juice on this pouch because it's water resistant. A 4-in-1 makeup brush designed to apply powder, concealer, eyeshadow, and foundation because who wants to bring their entire makeup brush collection in their suitcase? You want your limited luggage space to go to things that matter... like another pair of shoes you probably won't even wear. Or a silicone brush and sponge holder if you can't bear to leave your tools behind when you keep booking flight after flight with all those airline points. This organizer will not only protect your brushes from any rough treatment, but it will make sure no eyeshadow brushes fallout and get left behind with the magnetic clips. A discreet and slim money belt for anyone hyper worried (with good reason) about misplacing their passport or cash while traveling — all the great travelers you've met throughout the years have made it known you really can get stuck abroad. Just fill it with everything you want to keep extra safe, or if you need to know where your passport is at all times. It's so thin that no one will know it's there! A lightweight portable speed charger because you never know if you'll get stuck sitting in the seat with a broken outlet on a 12-hour flight. And if your phone is literally about to die because you were planning to charge it on the plane, don't worry because this can get your iPhone up to 78% in just one hour! Now you'll be able to hit the ground running to all those coffee shops and tourist spots you found online. A travel wallet that'll keep your passport, plane tickets, IDs, and cards all in one place so you don't hold up the TSA or customs line digging in your personal item because you can quickly grab whatever you need. Wow, you really must be a pro at this. A collapsible water bottle because there's no way you can keep buying $20 water bottles in your dehydrated desperation every time you go to the airport... we're pushing hundreds of dollars at this point (just this year). And this bottle collapses so small you can finally be sure there aren't any stray water drops in the bottle you internally panic about before going through the security line. A portable hanging toiletries organizer that'll save you the hassle from ever unpacking your toiletries because there's always a possibility you spot a deal on a flight to Cabo that takes off tonight or your boss wants you to be in New York tomorrow. Just unzip the organizer and hang it in the bathroom for easy access to all your products! Now you won't need six different plastic bags to pack all your toiletries, and you can keep them all in one place. A pack of adorable compression socks because we've all felt the soreness and achiness in our feet after a long flight, and you'd like your shoes to feel like they're not two sizes too small when you touch down. Compression socks can help prevent swelling and stimulate blood flow — so even though you keep taking off and touching down, you might not be stuck elevating your feet on the wall after every flight. A super cute and super practical pack of hand sanitizer spray to kill all of those icky germs you swear you can just ~feel~ on your hands, because who knows the last time that handrail was cleaned? When you've seen as much as you have while traveling constantly, it just becomes routine to whip out the antibacterial wipes and hand sanny. A set of compression packing cubes because constantly being at the airport has shown you how important it is to be organized AND fully prepared — go ahead and bring those four extra outfit combinations. You know someone's a frequent traveler when their entire suitcase isn't sprawled across the room by the third day of a trip but still neatly tucked away and compression cubes. A travel "before you go" toilet spray anyone who experiences an upset stomach from traveling, pre-flight nerves, and 5 a.m. coffee needs. No matter if you're in the airport bathroom, 30,000 feet in the air, or at your final destination, this spray won't let anyone be the wiser about your trips to "powder your nose." A pack of deodorant wipes for the underarm aftermath of TSA *ever so gently* reminding you of all the things you needed to take out of your bag while removing your shoes and trying to chug the rest of your water bottle... I'm stressed just thinking about it. These wipes have advanced odor control (from mandelic acid) and a long-lasting fresh scent in case you need to freshen up before your potential budding romance picks you up from the airport. A 2-in-1 Fjällräven duffle and backpack that is the ultimate carryon for keeping your clothes neatly folded and organized while also being so easy to carry. Duffles caaaaaan sometimes be a risky choice at the airport — what if there are no hooks in the bathroom to hang your bag — but the backpack straps are a game changer. Just unzip the compartment the straps are stored in and attach the clips to the rings on the side... and voilà a backpack. Anyone else singing Dora The Explorer's song now? And finally an adorable fruit or flower shaped leather luggage tag because we've all had that awkward moment when you had to ask a stranger if they accidentally took your bag because of course everyone has a plain black roller. Now your bag has a bit of personality and is clearly labeled — it's almost like the name says "Best Traveler Ever." This also has a protective case for an AirTag when you need to be sure that checked bag made it to your finally destination... or maybe you want that voucher.

We tried a new phone stand from one of our favorite brands. Here's how it compares
After two weeks of testing the Twelve South Curve Nano, the latest accessory from the popular maker of the AirFly headphones adapter, I've come to a few conclusions. This phone stand is well designed, fits easily into every sort of bag I own and it's super simple to use. But for as much as it makes me more productive, it's not a perfect fit for me. That's OK, though, because not everything is right for everyone; we all have different needs. And I do think it could improve many folks' workflows at the relatively low price of $35 (before any potential discounts). For everyone whose budget dictates minor upgrades over a whole new phone, this might be the new trick your old dog needs. Twelve South Curve Nano Phone Stand This folding iPhone stand is small and fits into most bags, and it makes it easy to keep your phone upright in portrait and landscape positions. I've recently been fighting diametrically opposed obsessions, as I both want to be informed and spend less time on my phone. Phone stands help me find a great middle ground, allowing me to check my phone without holding it, opening the lock screen and getting sucked into the apps. This is especially true for when I want to scroll without actually holding my phone in my hand, which makes me feel like I'm less attached to the screen by keeping it at a safe distance. I wish I had packed the Curve Nano when I was recently traveling, as it's much smaller than the stand I charged my phone on at night, and I would have been able to connect a charging cable while I used the Curve Nano. I first realized I wanted to keep my phone upright and vertical when I was testing the new PopSockets Kick-Out, which is half grip and half kickstand. That made for a winning combination in my testing, especially because I rely on the PopSocket part to help me hold my larger phone. The upright mode constantly proves useful, no matter if I'm answering a doorbell buzz from downstairs and want to see the video feed or viewing an array of message notifications from multiple apps. So, when I learned Twelve South was taking its own stab at the phone stand, I realized I needed to experience its take on my new favorite accessory category. And fortunately, I've learned it does at least one thing better than the Kick-Out. The best part of the Curve Nano is how it literally elevates your phone, specifically supporting all MagSafe iPhones, which means the iPhone 12 and later, and any Qi2 phones (more on that below). Frequent FaceTime callers will love how it enables hands-free video calls because we're all tired of holding our phones in the air during a long chat. It's also great for when I'm posted up at a coffee shop (or working at my dining room table) and just want to glance over and see the big time on my iPhone 16 Pro Max's always-on display and any errant notifications (which I've all but banned from my Apple Watch). The Curve Nano is also strong enough that it can keep the iPhone elevated when it's rotated horizontally in landscape orientation. This is my favorite of the stand's few features and an improvement on the PopSockets Kick-Out, which keeps your phone closer to the surface below when in landscape. And that positioning makes me feel and look like I'm in an 'As Seen on TV' infomercial, craning my neck slightly down to see what's going on. Also, the Curve Nano's foldable design allowed me to easily pack it into its fabric travel case, which helps me keep it clean and secure in my bag so I don't have to think about packing it. But as I implied above, the Curve Nano isn't going to replace my PopSockets Kick-Out. My iPhone 16 Pro Max's large dimensions make a phone grip that much more of an essential for me, where I'm OK with keeping an accessory snapped to the back of my phone constantly. Speaking of which, the Curve Nano and the Kick-Out both require you snap them off when you want to refuel with a MagSafe charger or a car phone holder, which is pretty easy. So, even though it's not going to be a part of my routine going forward, I could easily see the Curve Nano stand as a must-pack for iPhone users who like a little more productivity. It's a triple threat, as it's compact, easy to use and affordable. Seriously, I have to point out the $35 price, because those who don't need a phone grip will get more value here than with the $40 Kick-Out. What phones work with the Twelve South Curve Nano? What phones work with the Twelve South Curve Nano? The Curve Nano doesn't have many specs to speak of, but its magnetic back snaps onto all MagSafe-compatible iPhones (which are the iPhone 12 and later, excluding the iPhone SE and iPhone 16e) and any phone that supports the Qi2 standard. At the moment, very few phones include Qi2 support, but we hope that changes in the coming months. What colors does the Curve Nano come in? What colors does the Curve Nano come in? I tested the Coastal Blue model, and Twelve South also sells the Curve Nano in a off-white Dune and black Slate designs. How big is the Curve Nano? How big is the Curve Nano? As you can see, it's not as wide or as tall as an iPhone. At 4.4 by 2.6 by 0.3 inches, it's slightly taller than a standard deck of cards.

These 28 Products Will Probably Make Anyone You Travel With Jealous
An Airplane Pocket tray cover that slides seamlessly over an airplane tray to create an instant, deeply convenient hub — this comes with a number of pockets so you can keep track of all your devices, snacks, and other odds and ends without rooting around for them in the gross back pocket or your carry-on the whole flight. Bonus: This bb is an excellent way to prevent touching a germ-y tray, and it's fully machine washable. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount designed for use on all airlines — not only can you mount it to the tray table of an airplane seat, but to the arm of a chair or any flat surface, so you'll be able to stream content easy as pie wherever you roam. Reviewers have used it on everything from their car dashboards to carry-on handles to office desks to bedside tables. A sleek, cleverly designed expandable hardside carry-on suitcase that stores flat when you're storing it at home or stashing it in a hotel room, but magically expands to accommodate your things when you're jetsetting.

A newly-updated AirFly, a handy gadget you can use to connect your wireless headphones to the headphone jacks on flights so you can stream The Fault in Our Stars and bawl thousands of feet in the air again without dealing with the poor quality of the airline's headphones or shelling out $$ for them.

A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents. An investment-worthy, super-soft Trtl neck pillow designed to support your head while you're snoozing in midair so you don't land in a new city with a new crick in your neck to boot.

A chic telescoping portable straw you can use in a pinch whether you're traveling or just really, REALLY don't want to eat soggy straw paper at places that have switched over to environmentally friendly options.

We've all been there — just as you're about to board your flight, it hits you: you left your wired headphones at home. That means you're stuck choosing between using the airline's flimsy freebies to watch a movie or skipping in-flight entertainment altogether. Even with those, you're not getting top-tier sound quality, and there's not a chance you'll have noise cancellation that can stand up to the loud noises of a plane mid-air. Well, thanks to the AirFly Pro, you won't find yourself in this situation anymore, and at 24% off, now is the perfect time to snag one before the summer travel season really begins. What is the AirFly Pro? It's a small Bluetooth transmitting device that plugs into a headphone jack and pairs with your favorite pair of wireless headphones or earbuds. By going wireless, you won't have to worry about getting tangled in the wires or plugging and unplugging headphones to let your seat neighbor up. With over 25 hours of battery life, you'll be able to take the AirFly with you on long-haul flights, and there's even the ability to pair two devices at once, so you and the person you're traveling with can share audio. I've used the AirFly Pro on a few flights and trust me when I say it's a total game changer. I was able to pair my Sonos Ace wireless headphones to stream movies mid-air, knowing that I'd get to listen with the sound quality and comfort of one of my favorite pairs of headphones. Amazon The Twelve South AirFly Pro is a compact Bluetooth transmitter and receiver designed to wirelessly connect your headphones to non-Bluetooth audio sources like in-flight entertainment systems. It supports dual-device pairing, allowing two users to enjoy the same audio simultaneously, and boasts an impressive battery life of up to 25 hours on a full charge.
