A UPF 50+ Pashmina Scarf And 24 Other Genius Products That Make Traveling *So* Much Easier
An Alleyoop all-in-one razor — a TSA-approved gadget with a refillable spray bottle, shea butter moisturizing bar, and two triple-blade razor cartridges. The design is genius, but even better, the moisturizing bar won't melt so if you're traveling somewhere hot or just leaving it in your car's glovebox for pre-work touchups, it'll fare just fine. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter so you can use your Bluetooth headphones to watch all the movies you didn't feel like paying $18 to see in theaters. A set of compression cubes if — despite your best efforts — you're prone to packing everything but the kitchen sink. A luggage-mounted cup caddy because if you're anything like me, coffee is HIGH on your list of airport priorities and you could likely use an extra hand to carry it. A nifty universal phone mount so you can pass your high-altitude hours watching season 5 of You. Seeing as you spent all your time at the gate painstakingly downloading them over airport Wi-Fi, it'd be a total waste if you didn't. 🤷♀️ A set of Avarelle rounded or extra-large hydrocolloid patches that can suck all the gunk out of your whiteheads while you sleep. Idk about you, but my skin INSTANTLY knows when I'm away from home and acts up like nobody's business. A RFID-blocking travel wallet with slots, pouches, and pockets for every form of currency and identification one would need to keep on their person. This way, you don't freak out when it's time to board and you have to track down your ticket and passport. A bungee cord so you can strap your duffle bag or brief case right to your rolling luggage. That way, you don't have walk what feels like miles from security to your gate looking like a pack mule. Or a more fashion-forward Cincha travel belt that can accommodate most any carry-on as it expands to 45 inches. A pair of Levi's pull-on skinny jeans if you're someone who doesn't like leaving the house in loungewear but wants to *feel* like they're wearing loungewear nonetheless. An I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo that eliminates grease at your roots and keeps your scalp nice and healthy with antioxidant-rich black ginseng and nourishing biotin. A do-it-all backpack so ingeniously designed, you can fit a week's worth of clothes inside! You're probably thinking, "But, Chelsea, it's a is better than all the others??" Well, let me tell you. The main compartment unzips all the way so TSA is a breeze, there's a separate laptop sleeve, you've got zippered pouches for toiletries, a set of compression straps, a key fob, AND a trolley pass-through for hands-free carrying if you're also bringing a regular suitcase. A supportive and adjustable travel pillow because booking a red-eye flight saved you some serious $$$, but you're not about to sacrifice any sleep. An ultra-fine SPF mist so you can reapply your sunscreen on the go without even having to touch your face! It also goes on ~over~ makeup without issue. A bottle of Kenra's Platinum Blow-Dry Spray, which allows you to cut your drying time in HALF and acts as a thermal protectant and frizz tamer all the while. It's now racked up over 18,600 5-star reviews as well as a following on TikTok, sooo safe to say it's universally loved. A few pairs of breathable, odor-reducing briefs from ExOfficio — a brand that specializes in travel-friendly clothing. The undies are so fast-drying, you can wash them in a sink, wring them out, let them dry for a few hours, and wear 'em again. A drawstring makeup organizer that opens to reveal every cosmetic you own so you don't have to spend countless minutes emptying out every item just to *not* find your concealer. (Turns out it was in your purse all along 🤷♀️) A mini white noise machine so you can get a good night's sleep on the road instead of being kept up by unfamiliar noises like creaky Airbnb floors or rowdy hotel neighbors. A trusty pair of Reebok Club C Sneakers that 1.) are hella comfy and 2.) match just about everything so you have no excuse to pack multiple sets of shoes when one can do the job. A digital luggage scale so you don't have to frantically move items from your checked luggage to your carry-on in a desperate bid to stay under 50 pounds and thus avoid an overweight fee. A pair of compression socks that — while not the most fashion-forward garment — will help with circulation so your legs don't have to be any more uncomfortable than they already are. An acupressure wristband if you're looking for an all-natural way to alleviate nausea, motion sickness, or morning sickness because feeling like you have to hurl 24/7 — especially while on vacation — is a major downer. A personalized travel bag you can use to store your bathing suit, dirty clothes, or even toiletries if you're afraid of them leaking on your other stuff. A Pashmina scarf ready to be fashioned into a blanket or pillow when flying; a wrap when you're cold or need something modest for visiting cultural sites like temples; or even a shield from the sun as it offers UPF 50+ protection! An inflatable airplane bed for kids that not only gives them a place to peacefully nap, but prevents toys and snacks from going here, there, and everywhere.

Why Samsonite is the most reliable luggage brand, per extensive testing
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. After years of skipping across time zones with a passport full of stamps and a closet full of regretful suitcase purchases, I've learned the hard way that, when it comes to luggage, looks don't equal longevity. I've had hardshells that cracked at baggage claim, zippers that quit mid-transfer, and a carry-on that once got wedged into an overhead bin so violently I had to abandon it and wait for someone to help. So when it came time to put Samsonite's legendary luggage to the test, I was intrigued — and skeptical. Could something this minimal and affordable actually hold up to travel-adjacent abuse? Wheeling all three at once and even loading them into the ATV was an actual breeze. I've never felt such lightweight, durable luggage. Kendall Cornish I got my hands on the Outline Pro collection's carry-on, medium, and large size hardside spinners and decided to test them not on an Italian vacation, but in the wildest place I currently inhabit: a Texas ranch full of uneven walkways, animals, and unrelenting sun. Because if it can handle steep, rocky paths, curious horses, and general ranch-style roughhousing, it can probably handle Heathrow. Below is the breakdown of each size, plus my honest take on how Samsonite's hardside spinners compare to other brands. Our review Samsonite Pros: Tough, lightweight polypropylene shell Smooth dual spinner wheels Interior wet pack and zippered dividers Sleek, modern design with muted colorways Recycled, wipe-clean lining Cons: Not expandable No exterior pocket access May exceed carry-on limits for some stricter international airlines The Outline Pro Carry-On is Samsonite's sleekest small-but-mighty spinner, built with a hard-wearing polypropylene shell and lined with Samsonite's sustainable Recyclex fabric made from post-consumer plastic bottles. The shell resists scratches and dings, while the interior features compression straps, zippered compartments, and a TSA-approved removable wet pack for toiletries. It's designed to glide through airports with dual spinner wheels that feel buttery smooth across most surfaces. Stylish on the outside, surprisingly smart on the inside — it's a minimalist's dream carry-on. Type: Hardshell | Dimensions: 22″ x 14″ x 9″ | Material: Polypropylene shell with Recyclex interior lining | Weight: 7.5 lbs | Expandable: No Samsonite Pros: Excellent internal organization Sturdy shell protects contents during rough handling Eco-conscious Recyclex lining Sleek design and high-end feel TSA-approved lock built in Cons: No expansion zipper for squeezing in extras No external access once zipped Sized for longer trips or chronic overpackers, the Outline Pro Medium Spinner offers the same sustainable construction and structured layout as its smaller sibling, but with more space and deeper packing compartments. The interior dividers make it easy to separate outfits, shoes, or dirty laundry, and the recessed TSA lock adds peace of mind when you're checking it. Despite its size, the four double-spinner wheels make it surprisingly agile, and the matte shell hides wear beautifully. Type: Hardshell | Dimensions: 27″ x 18″ x 11.5″ | Material: Polypropylene shell with Recyclex interior lining | Weight: 9.2 lbs | Expandable: No Samsonite Pros: Massive interior capacity without sagging Durable shell handles aggressive baggage handlers Interior zip panels keep items neat and compressed Modern design that still feels professional Eco-conscious lining and thoughtful build Cons: Heavy when fully packed (and even when empty) No expandability The biggest of the trio, the Outline Pro Large Spinner is designed for extended getaways, checked-luggage warriors, or those who pack like they're leaving the country forever. It shares the same resilient polypropylene construction and minimalist aesthetic as the rest of the Outline Pro series but offers cavernous space and reinforced corners for extra durability. An ideal checked suitcase, it holds a full wardrobe, shoes, toiletries, and emotional baggage, too — all while keeping everything separate and secure. Type: Hardshell | Dimensions: 31″ x 20.5″ x 13″ | Material: Polypropylene shell with Recyclex interior lining | Weight: 11 lbs | Expandable: No Weight All three sizes strike a pretty solid balance between protection and portability. The carry-on is manageable at 7.5 pounds, but the medium and large aren't what I'd call featherlight. That said, the smooth-glide dual spinner wheels make them feel lighter than they are, even when fully packed with suspiciously heavy 'necessities' like backup boots and full-size skincare. Durability Here's where the Outline Pro surprised me. The polypropylene shell feels tough but not brittle — more flexible than polycarbonate, and less prone to visible cracks or corner crushes. I dragged the medium and large through gravel, barn dust, and a surprise rainstorm, and they held up shockingly well. No dents, no warping, just a few surface scuffs that wiped off easily. We love a TSA-approved lock (and a super-soft handle — no grip fatigue here). Kendall Cornish Aesthetic Clean, matte, and modern — these suitcases look like they belong in a Scandinavian design catalog. They come in a handful of muted, elevated colors (hello, midnight blue and sage green) that look expensive without screaming luxury brand cosplay. The exterior grooves add subtle style and grip without feeling overly trendy. How does Samsonite compare? Samsonite versus Travelpro is a showdown of practicality versus polish. Travelpro (especially the Platinum Elite line) has more exterior pockets, expansion zippers, and suiter systems, making it the king of carry-on optimization. Samsonite Outline Pro, though, wins on minimalism and long-haul performance. It's ideal for checked bags — especially if you're packing heavy or traveling somewhere your suitcase might take a beating (looking at you, JFK baggage handlers). Compared to Away, Outline Pro offers better shell durability and smoother wheels but lacks the influencer-friendly extras like built-in chargers or matching luggage tags. It's a no-frills upgrade for people who are tired of replacing their cracked carry-ons every two years. Who is Samsonite best for? The Outline Pro set is ideal for organized minimalists who prefer structure over stuff-it-all compartments. It's not for overpackers or those who need their suitcase to expand on a whim. But if you like everything to have its place, appreciate clean design, and want luggage that can go from Bali to Boston without falling apart or going out of style, this one delivers. Bonus: The full-size spinners are checked bag warriors. If you travel for weddings, business, or extended trips, the medium and large Outline Pro are ready for chaos. How we tested Let's just say it wasn't a glam jet-set test. I used the carry-on as a daily gear tote for the ranch, hauling everything from horse riding gear to bottles of plant fertilizer, rolling it through gravel paths and hard-packed clay. The medium spinner sat in the back of a dusty ATV for several days, during which there was a Texas-sized thunderstorm (whoops). The large one? It served as an impromptu side table, fan stand, and briefly, a place for my cat to nap after a long day of …napping. The interior wipes clean with ease. Pictured: medium spinner. Kendall Cornish I rolled these things through the mud. I banged them against the fencing. I stuffed them with irregular-shaped feed bags. And the interiors? Still pristine. The Recyclex lining wiped clean with a damp rag, and the zipper pulls — often a point of failure — remained firmly intact. If you're looking for luggage that blends structure, aesthetic, and hard-earned toughness, this collection passed the ranch test with flying colors. FAQs Is Samsonite a good luggage brand? Yes, Samsonite is one of the most trusted luggage brands in the world, known for balancing affordability, durability, and design. It's not the flashiest brand, but it's reliable and widely available, with options for every type of traveler. What's the difference between Samsonite's collections? Each collection targets a different traveler. For example, the Freeform collection is lightweight and budget-friendly, while the Outline Pro series is more premium, with eco-conscious materials and better durability. If you travel often or check bags frequently, Outline Pro is the toughest of the bunch. Does Samsonite luggage come with a warranty? Yes, most Samsonite luggage comes with a 10-year limited global warranty. That typically covers manufacturing defects but not damage from airlines, overpacking, or 'your toddler using it as a jungle gym.' Is Samsonite better than Away or Travelpro? It depends on your priorities. Samsonite wins on variety and accessibility, Travelpro wins on function and flight-crew-level features, and Away nails the minimalist aesthetic with trendy extras. If you want solid, dependable luggage without the influencer markup, Samsonite is a great bet. Can you use Samsonite carry-ons on international flights? Most Samsonite carry-ons, including the Outline Pro, meet domestic carry-on guidelines. However, some international and budget airlines have stricter size limits, so always check before you fly. Are Samsonite suitcases expandable? Some are, but not all. For instance, the Outline Pro series is not expandable by design. If you tend to overpack, look for collections like Freeform or Pivot that offer expansion zippers. Is Samsonite considered luxury luggage? Not quite. Samsonite sits solidly in the upper mid-range tier. It's nicer than your average department store suitcase, but not quite Rimowa or Tumi. Think of it as the dependable Honda of luggage: not flashy, but it gets you there in one piece every time. Hunting for a headline-worthy haul? Keep shopping with Post Wanted.

Ryanair cabin bag tops Amazon bestsellers and fits 'everything for a two-night trip'
Holiday-goers can take everything they need without splashing out on baggage fees with this handy backpack As the holiday season is in full force, getting the correct bags for travelling can be a pain if they aren't the right size. This often ends up in people having to pay extra prices at airports or scrambling around to remove things from their luggage. That is why there's been a surge in bags that are said to fit perfectly as cabin bags or as under-seat luggage. Now, shoppers are in luck as they can grab the Xkdoai for Ryanair Cabin Bags for £16.99 down from £30.99 on Amazon. The 20-litre cabin bag is said to be fully compliant with Ryanair's carry-on baggage size and also suitable for most airlines. Shoppers shouldn't be deceived by its size as it opens 180 degrees like a suitcase, offering lots of space and fits both in overhead bins and under seats. Not only does the bag offer ample space, but it also comes with a TSA-approved clear bag that lets shoppers quickly check in and pass through airport security. The bag additionally comes with a hidden zipped pocket at the back of the backpack for mobile phones, passports, wallets and other valuables. There is also a cable hole on the side of the backpack and can be connected with the charger in the bag to charge phones anytime, anywhere. The nylon pouch style cabin bag has a water repellent fabric that allows shoppers to also use the bag outdoors without worrying about their items getting destroyed. If this isn't the cabin bag that everyone wants, however, there are multiple alternative options to choose from. For example, the it Luggage 2 Wheel Soft Business Suitcase in Black for £45 from Argos, which is made with microfibre material. It has two inset wheels, a retractable handle, is cabin friendly and has five internal pockets, six external pockets, a mobile phone pocket and an iPod pocket. For a cheaper option there is also the Over Handle Travel Holdall for £10 from Dunelm which has a stylish and sleek design, is lightweight and water repellent and machine washable. The Xkdoai bag, however, has been rated a high 4.7 out of 5 star rating from 929 reviews on Amazon. One shopper said: 'Perfect travel bag! I recently bought this backpack for a trip to Germany and it is excellent! The straps are super comfortable and seem durable enough.' Another said: 'Excellent backpack. Bought for a two night trip to Dublin and it fit everything I needed to take. Lots of pockets for passports, toiletries etc. Sturdy, comfortable straps for carrying. I would highly recommend it.' 'These bags are brilliant," said another shopper. 'It fits in the Ryanair slot and has plenty of room inside with extra pockets.' Despite most of the reviews being positive, some people did have hesitation, as one wrote: 'It does not vacuum pack as I thought.' Another said: 'The bag itself, space-wise is good but the shoulder straps are so small for an adult.'
