Amazon is a vast world for travel products. From bags and suitcases to electronics and destination-specific gear, you’ll find something for every type of trip. But when it comes to narrowing down items for each trip, frequent fliers know that there are some important travel essentials that should always be in your suitcase.
Personally, I never leave the house without a silk pillowcase. Blissy is my all-time favorite. We recommend buying brightly colored ones so you don’t accidentally leave them behind at the hotel (I speak from experience!). Silk material has multifaceted effects. It regulates your body temperature while you sleep, keeps your face from wrinkled when you wake up (especially important when you’re running behind us after falling asleep due to jet lag), and its scent reduces acne. He will do it for you. When I use hotel detergents (my skin is very sensitive, no matter how fancy the hotels are), the stains don’t come off for several days. Whether it’s a one-night stay or a multi-week trip, keep this travel accessory in your bag.
However, every traveler has their own go-to gadgets, from organizers for medicine and electronics to wrinkle-removal favorites like releasers and portable steamers. To find our new destination favorites, I spoke to 11 frequent travelers to find out what items they never leave their bags. All available for under $50 on Amazon.
Yunnyp PVC Inflatable Foot Pad

“For long-haul flights, I never travel without an inflatable footrest because I can’t sleep with my hips tilted forward,” says Nicole Chriest, a freelance writer who travels up to four times a month. I’ll tell you. “Isn’t it a little classy to blow up a footrest next to a stranger like a pool toy? Yes. But it’s worth a few minutes of awkwardness to get an extra few hours of rest.” ” Plus, it’s only $10 and extremely durable, making it an easy fix for long-term use.

When Kristen Shirley, founder of La Patiala, a digital platform that covers all things luxury from travel to fashion, travels frequently for work, she relies on this belt to keep her personal belongings secure above rolling luggage. I am. “If I’m using a different bag, like a chic work tote or a fun beach bag, I use the Cincha travel belt to secure it to my suitcase handle,” she says. “That way, your bag will stay safe as you rush through the airport or carry it up several flights of stairs.”

“The only downside to a tropical vacation is that your drinks can get hot quickly on the beach,” says Shirley. “That’s why I always travel with a Cokecicle tumbler. No matter how hot it is outside, it keeps my Diet Coke or rosé glass refreshing and cool.” Additionally, lounges and concession stands are phasing out to-go containers. This may come in handy if you want to drink coffee on the go and can’t find a cardboard cup.
Lifewit Monthly Pill Organizer

“Listen, a month-long pill box is essential not only for long-term travel, but also for organized activities,” says Joey Skladani, a freelance travel and food writer who travels every other week for work. He has a larger version with 28 slots. He likes the separate deep compartments that can be used for different types of pills. “I use the top row for prescription medications, the second row for immune-boosting vitamins, the third row for daily supplements, and the fourth row for emergency medications like Advil and Sudafed. Keep everything organized. It’s exactly what I need when I’m always on the go.”

Ariana Sarzetakis, founder of Uncover More, a hyperlocal guide to experiences around the world, travels two to three times a month.

I admired it. “For travelers, this tool brings peace of mind, especially when returning from a trip with souvenirs or extra items. It helps avoid the stress of last-minute repacking at the check-in counter.”

When it comes to looking fresh straight off the plane, Berkson points to this wrinkle remover (which comes in two TSA-approved bottles) to keep clothes clean. “A quick spray will crisp up your shirts and jackets, even after they’ve been packed in your suitcase.

Even after a long-haul flight, travel PR professionals know the importance of putting their best posture (and fashion!) forward in client meetings. “Sometimes the only thing you have in a hotel is an iron,” she says, noting that an iron isn’t always the best way to iron out wrinkles in your wardrobe when you’re on the go or short on time.

His solution is this foldable drink caddy that fits in your carry-on and is quick to grab when you need a hand. Hutton says the rolling bag can be slid over the handle to hold two drinks, and it also has a back pocket that can be used to store items you need quickly, such as a passport or cell phone.

Being a freelancer and traveling for work means juggling multiple clients at once. Therefore, every second counts. I love and appreciate gyms in luxury hotels, but sometimes they are located on the opposite side of the property and can take nearly 10 minutes to access. To save time traveling back and forth, I always keep one of these resistance bands in my suitcase and turn my room into a gym so I can use my precious time more efficiently. Masu. I like that they come in different resistances so you can have something lighter to work your arms and something heavier to work your legs.

Traditional electric toothbrushes can take up a lot of space in your luggage. Additionally, bulky cords don’t always work with overseas charging outlets, so you’ll need a reliable toothbrush if you’re going on a long trip. For Alyssa Fitzgerald, a freelance travel writer who’s always on the go, it’s this Oral-B battery-powered electric toothbrush. “I buy two or four packs so I have one for home and one for travel or even as a spare. The batteries are replaceable but they actually last forever ( I travel a lot).
