Quick Answer: What Are the Best Travel Essentials?
The best travel essentials are a comfortable neck pillow, noise-canceling headphones, a power adapter that works where you are going, a way to track your bags, and packing cubes to keep everything organized. Here are the five I would grab first.
1. Cabeau Air Evolution Inflatable Travel Pillow. A washable neck pillow that packs down small for long flights.
2. Sony Noise-Canceling Headphones. Quiet for long flights, and the pick I waited far too long to buy. If you are packing light, then go for the Apple AirPods Pro 3. If you only want to block out noise, the Alpine Silence is amazing.
3. Anker European Power Adapter. Charges your devices in Europe and adds 2 USB ports.
4. Apple AirTag 2 4-Pack. Peace of mind for suitcases, bags, and purses.
5. LEVEL8 Packing Cubes. Perfectly sized for clothing and accessories.
Travel Essentials for Long Flights
Long flights can be uncomfortable, especially with a connecting flight or a long layover. To make the journey more bearable, pack a neck pillow, noise-canceling headphones, an eye mask, and a good book.
A neck pillow will support your neck and head, making it easier to sleep on the plane. Noise-canceling headphones will block out the sounds of the plane and other passengers, allowing you to enjoy some peace and quiet. An eye mask will block out light, creating a dark environment that makes it easier to sleep or relax. Lastly, bring a good book, magazine, or tablet to keep you entertained during the flight.
Here are my tried and true picks:
Sony Noise-Canceling Headphones
I avoided these for years! I preferred something more compact, but in reality, the quality sucked. Mr. Misadventures had these and finally convinced me to invest in them, and of course, getting them in navy blue was a huge bonus. I do not know why I waited so long to get them!
Best for: light sleepers and anyone who wants peace and quiet on a long flight.
Price: $250
Apple AirPods Pro 3
If you are really trying to travel light, these are better than over-ear headphones. Each earbud weighs about 0.2 ounces and the charging case weighs only 1.55 ounces, so they slip into a pocket instead of taking up room in your carry-on.
They have active noise cancellation and up to 8 hours of listening on a single charge, or up to 24 hours with the charging case. A five-minute charge gives you about an hour of listening. The case charges over USB-C, MagSafe, or a Qi wireless charger, and the earbuds come with five sizes of silicone ear tips (XXS to L) so you can find a comfortable fit for a long flight. They are also rated IP57 for dust, sweat, and water resistance, and Find My support with a built-in speaker helps if one goes missing.
Best for: travelers who want to pack light and still get noise cancellation, especially if you use an iPhone.
Price: $249
Alpine Silence Earplugs
Earplugs earn a spot in my carry-on right next to my noise-canceling headphones. Alpine Silence earplugs are comfortable and reusable, with soft oval tips that fit snugly no matter your ear shape, and they come in 4 sizes so you can find the right one. They block up to 22dB of noise, which is great for sleeping through engine hum or a chatty row mate. And on days when I want to listen to music or a podcast without outside noise competing for my attention, they work well alongside my earbuds for that extra bit of quiet.
Best for: light sleepers who want a snug, adjustable fit and serious noise blocking on a long flight or in a noisy hotel room.
Price: $25
Cabeau Air Evolution Inflatable Travel Pillow
I prefer an inflatable neck pillow as I don't want my travel gear to take up a lot of space. I have had my Cabeau for years and love it because it is washable.
Best for: travelers who want a neck pillow that packs down small.
Price: $40
Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Eye Mask
I love my Lunya silk sleep mask for home (and hotels), but it is a little too bulky for my taste on a plane. My carry-on choice is still silk. I have the Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Eyemask. It feels super soft and is also machine washable, which is a big bonus in my book.
Best for: carry-on packers who want a soft, washable sleep mask.
Price: $249
Bucky Comfort Travel Blanket Scarf
I love to travel with scarves. On a plane, I want something soft and compact. This jersey blanket scarf does the job and comes in its own bag for transport and packing in my carry-on bag. They also have a matching neck pillow you can buy too, although it is not inflatable.
Best for: a soft, compact extra layer on chilly flights.
Price: $29.99
More flight essentials
More Long Flight Essentials for Comfort and Health
These small items make a long travel day easier.
Bombas Compression Socks
Compression socks make a great gift because they solve a real travel problem: achy legs on a long flight. They come in comfortable, lightweight styles, including a travel version made with a merino wool blend, so they work on the plane and for a full day of sightseeing afterward. At $30 to $40 a pair, they feel like a thoughtful upgrade without being a big splurge, and most people would never buy them for themselves. They're also easy to give, since they come in ankle, calf, and knee-high heights.
Best for: keeping your legs comfortable on long flights.
Price: $30 to $40 per pair. Bombas everyday compression socks are 15 to 20 mmHg. If you have circulation concerns or a medical condition, ask your doctor which compression level is right for you
J&L Naturals Sustainable Lip Balm
Cabin air is dry, and a long flight can leave your lips feeling parched by the time you land, so a lip balm belongs in your carry-on. J&L Naturals Sustainable Lip Balm is made with organic coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, shea butter, and candelilla wax, and it comes in a plastic-free, zero-waste push-up tube that slips easily into a pocket or tote. It's vegan and cruelty-free, and it comes in scents like peppermint and eucalyptus, lemon and ylang-ylang, or unscented.
Best for: keeping lips comfortable in dry cabin air.
Price: $13.49 (for 2)
Hydro Flask Reusable Water Bottle
A reusable water bottle is one of the easiest ways to stay hydrated on a travel day. Bring it empty through security, then fill it up once you're past the checkpoint. A Hydro Flask keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12, so your water stays refreshing on a long flight, a train ride, or a day of sightseeing. It's also durable and dishwasher-safe, which makes it easy to keep clean on the road.
Best for: keeping cords, chargers, and gadgets in one place.
Price: $48
International and Europe Travel Essentials
International travel requires some additional preparation. Also, consider bringing a universal power adapter so you can charge your devices in any country. These are really the key international travel essentials.
A travel-friendly travel backpack or tote bag will also come in handy for carrying all your essentials while exploring a new city. And if you are going to Europe or any other region where money is mostly coins, don't forget a dual-sided coin purse; it is a lifesaver!
If you are heading to Europe, keep two things in mind. Most of Europe uses 230-volt outlets with round two-pin plugs, while the UK and Ireland use a different plug, so check your destination before you buy an adapter. And an adapter only changes the shape of the plug. Most phone and laptop chargers accept 100 to 240 volts, but hair dryers and other heating appliances often don't, so look for a dual-voltage label before you plug them in.
Portable Digital Luggage Scale
Okay, I think it is invaluable for any trip, domestic or international, but international airports are pickier about the size, weight, and shape of your luggage, and in particular your carry-on. Don't risk it; carry this scale!
Best for: avoiding overweight bag fees before you leave your hotel room. Airlines set their own size and weight limits, so check yours before you pack.
Price: $9
Anker Travel Adapter, European Travel Plug Adapter, US to Europe
The Anker European Power Adapter has 1 USB-A and 2 USB-C ports, plus the outlet plug. I like the whole Anker line; it's lightweight and compact.
Best for: trips to continental Europe.
Price: $15.99
Orange SIM Card for Europe
If you own your phone and want an internet connection when you can't access free WiFi, consider buying a SIM card for Europe.
Best for: travelers with an unlocked phone who want data without hunting for free WiFi.
Price: Orange's 20 GB Holiday Europe plan with calls and texts is $29.99 for 14 days as an eSIM through the Orange Travel app. Physical SIM cards sold through other retailers are priced separately.
Conair Travel Hair Dryer
I usually rely on hotels or Airbnbs for a hairdryer, but I have lots of friends who are picky about theirs, so they prefer to travel with their own. This dryer has a folding handle for compact packing in a suitcase or carry-on bag. With dual voltage, it's perfect for worldwide travel.
Best for: hair care on the road without worrying about the voltage.
Specs: The 1875-watt version runs on 120 or 240 volts and weighs about 15 ounces with its cord.
Price: $20
The Best Travel Gear: Tech
When it comes to traveling, the right tech accessories can make all the difference in making your trip smooth and enjoyable. Choose from a variety of travel items to enhance your travel experience.
Power banks are one of the most important travel essentials for keeping your devices charged on the go. A smaller portable power bank is perfect for extending battery life on a day out.
Accessories with built-in tracking can also provide added peace of mind when navigating unfamiliar airports and train stations. With so many travel necessities and accessories available, it's easy to customize your travel kit to fit your specific needs and preferences.
These should definitely be on your tech travel checklist:
Anker USB-C Outlet Extender
A lifesaver when you have a lot of items to charge! It's a single wall outlet with 2 USB ports, 1 USB-C port, and 3 AC outlets to power up to 6 devices.
Best for: hotel rooms with too few outlets.
Price: $19
Anker USB-C Charger (Nano)
A portable charger that can quickly charge your phone, tablet, and USB-C notebook. Perfect when you need your device ASAP!
Best for: charging a phone, tablet, or USB-C laptop from one small block.
Price: $29
Apple AirTag 4 Pack + Case Holders
This has freed my mind from the stress of not knowing where the heck my suitcases are! I also use them for bags, purses, and my hubby!
Best for: suitcases, bags, and anything else you hate to lose.
Price: $99 for AirTags and $7 for the cases
Samsung T7 1TB, Portable SSD
If you take a lot of photos while traveling or you want to carry some documents with you, this slim but mighty external hard disk should be in your tech kit!
Best for: backing up photos and documents while you travel.
Price: $244
CALPAK Tech Organizer
I carry all of these items in my CALPAK Tech Organizer
A tech organizer keeps every cord, charger, and gadget in one place, so you don't have to dig through your bag at the gate or the hotel. I carry all of my tech in my CALPAK Tech Organizer, and it makes packing and unpacking so much easier. Everything has a home, so I can see at a glance that I haven't left a charger behind.
Best for: keeping cords, chargers, and gadgets in one place.
Price: $48
Toiletries, Beauty and Health Essentials
I do not leave home without these!
Matador Soap Bag
Mr. Misadventures loves bar soap, and this case has been a savior. It is waterproof and leakproof, so it goes inside your toiletry kit without fear! Plus, with its Dry-Through Technology, you no longer have to deal with mushy bars!
Best for: travelers who prefer bar soap.
Price: $14
Matador Refillable Toothpaste Tubes
Also from Matador, don't pay for expensive travel-sized toothpaste; buy your favorite full-sized version and squeeze it into Matador's refillable toothpaste tubes. I am loyal to Tom's of Maine Fennel toothpaste, which doesn't even come in travel size, so this is my go-to way to travel with toothpaste. Clean in the dishwasher; it's safe! Two tubes are included, for 1 or 2 weeks.
Best for: travelers who are tired of buying tiny travel-size toothpaste.
Price: $11
Pilly Pal Travel Pillbox
Whether it's vitamins, probiotics, or medication, I'd say most people have a handful of pills to take every day. Say goodbye to the inconvenience of carrying multiple pill bottles. This pill box offers the comfort of having all your pills in one place, making pill management hassle-free and convenient.
Best for: keeping daily medications and supplements organized.
Price: $6
Travalo Classic HD Perfume Atomizer
I have been using these for years, and now Mr. Misadventures is using them too for his cologne. I have tried other brands and always come back to Travalo. It is easy to use and durable, and most importantly, it is very light. I find many other brands to be very heavy. I still have my first one, and it is more than 10 years old!
Best for: carrying a favorite fragrance without a heavy glass bottle.
Price: $20
Kitsch 11pc Travel Size Bottles
I like this set because I often buy beauty products in France (and Portugal) when I visit, and these travel bottles are lighter than the original bottles, which are often glass and heavy!
Best for: bringing home French and Portuguese beauty finds, or filling with your own products before you go.
Price: $12. The set includes a spray bottle, two pump bottles, three flat pouch bottles, two mini jars, and a 1-quart pouch, and every container is 3 oz (100 mL) or smaller.

Wander and Perch Wander Wet Bag
Eileen, the founder and creator of Wander & Perch, shares her philosophy on carrying around a bag for your summer suits: “Life is too short for ugly plastic bags. Travel life beautifully.”
I couldn't agree more! I love my Wander Wet Bag Nomad in Indigo blue! I only wish I had it when I was visiting all the thermal spas in the Azores – much prettier than my plastic shopping bags! The water-resistant interior is awesome!
Bonus: these bags are designed in Encinitas, California, and proudly made in the USA.
Luggage, Packing and Organization Essentials
The right suitcase and the right packing tools do more for a trip than almost anything else on this list. Good luggage should roll easily, hold up trip after trip, and fit however you like to pack, whether that means separate compartments, compression cubes, or a bag within a bag. Here is what I actually travel with, from the suitcases I trust to the small tools that keep everything inside them organized.
Delsey Paris Hardside Luggage
Delsey is classic French luggage, and I have traveled with the Delsey Paris Helium Titanium hardside set in black cherry: a 22-inch carry-on, a 25-inch medium suitcase, and a 29-inch large suitcase. After more than 10 years of duffel-style luggage, I finally had suitcases that seemed to float across the airport.
The polycarbonate shell felt sturdy rather than wobbly, and the four spinner wheels stayed put when I let go of the handle, unlike another suitcase I tried that rolled away from me at LAX. Every piece has two fully lined packing compartments with a zippered divider. One side holds my Eagle Creek packing cubes perfectly, and the zippered side takes my shoes and anything else that might shift.
Which size to pack: the carry-on is ideal for 2 to 3 days. The medium suitcase handled my 5- to 7-day trips with room for multiple outfits, shoes, and accessories, and it is my go-to size for most travel. The large suitcase is for longer or more complicated trips, like multiple climates or a business trip that needs a warm coat and layers.
Best for: travelers who want classic, lightweight hardside luggage in three sizes.
Price: Delsey's current best-selling Helium Aero collection lists at $199.99 for the 21-inch carry-on with a front pocket, $179.99 for the 23-inch, $167.99 for the 27-inch (regularly $209.99), and $179.99 to $239.99 for the 32-inch. The two-piece set is $329.99.
LEVEL8 Road Runner Carry On and Voyageur Luggage
I put all my gear, shoes, and clothes into my LEVEL8 cases. I have the Road Runner carry-on and the Voyageur Check-in and love them!
Best for: travelers who want a lightweight hardside carry-on paired with a larger checked bag.
Size: the 20-inch Road Runner carry-on measures about 21.6 x 14.9 x 10.2 inches. Airlines set their own carry-on limits, so check yours.
The Road Runner won me over. I do not normally travel with a carry-on except for very short trips, but with the 20-inch Road Runner I can set my MZ Wallace tote on top and glide through the airport, the train station, and the street. My favorite feature is the laptop pocket in the front compartment, which fits a laptop up to 17 inches and a tablet up to 10.9 inches, so I can grab my laptop without unpacking. It also has a polycarbonate hard shell, a dual locking system (a TSA-approved combination lock plus a front pocket lock), and 360-degree spinner wheels.
I have tried hardside bags that split down the middle into two shallow sides, and I found them awkward enough to go back to a duffel. The Road Runner was easy to open, close, and maneuver, even in small spaces, and I am now a convert.
For longer trips, I chose the 26-inch Voyageur check-in, in yellow and black. It has a wide aluminum alloy telescopic handle that is easy to grab, a Makrolon polycarbonate shell with an anti-scratch surface, TSA-approved locks, quiet 360-degree spinner wheels, and an interior compression system.

LEVEL8 Packing Cubes
I am a packing cube believer! I have been using them for decades and can't imagine packing for a trip without them. But not all packing cubes are equal, and quality matters! I just tried the packing cubes from LEVEL8 (the suitcase brand I recommend) for the first time, and they are perfectly sized for multiple needs, whether clothing or accessories!
Best for: keeping clothing and accessories sorted so you can find things fast.
Price: $49
Quince Packing Cubes
I am a huge fan of Quince packing cubes. Quince's Revive compression packing cubes six-pack includes one extra-large, one large, two medium, one small, and one extra-small cube. The brand says the compression zippers reduce each cube's height by up to 60 percent, and the set is made from recycled material. I
Best for: travelers who want compression and a range of cube sizes in one set.
Price: They were $45.90 at the time of writing, down from a regular price of $88.
Eagle Creek Pack-It Packing Cubes
I consider Eagle Creek the OG of packing cubes, and the company says it invented the concept in 1992. Their cubes are uniform in size, so they fit neatly inside a suitcase compartment. Pack-It sets come in Isolate, which is the lightest and most flexible, and Reveal, which is more rigid with mesh panels for quick visibility.
Best for: travelers who want the original packing cube and like uniform sizes.
Price and specs: Sets start at about $44.
Nori Press Iron and Steamer
I don't know about you, but I often have to cut some items from my wardrobe because they wrinkle when I travel. This is revolutionary! Now I can bring my favorite white shirt! It weighs 1.5 pounds and has six fabric settings.
Best for: travelers who want to pack wrinkle-prone favorites.
Price: $120.
Quince Leather Jewelry Travel Case
Elegant and practical, this travel case is ideal for transporting your cherished jewelry pieces with ease, keeping them tangle-free. Perfect for a weekend getaway or when you only want to bring your most adored items.
Best for: weekend getaways and short trips with a few favorite pieces.
Price: $40
TRAVEL ACCESSORY
FlipBelt Running Belt
This accessory is marketed to athletes and fitness buffs, BUT I think it is AWESOME for travel! A modern take on the old money belt our parents or grandparents used when they traveled, the FlipBelt is light and moisture-wicking. You can wash it too! Fit money and credit cards, your cell phone or passport, your important docs on a USB key, or just your room key and some spare taxi money. It comes in multiple sizes so you can get one that really fits you! Love this thing!
Best for: carrying your phone, passport, and cards hands-free while you explore.
Price: $46
Comfortable Walking Shoes
If you aren't sick of me writing about Jambu yet, I will remind you again that I think that Jambu shoes are the best travel shoes around! Plus, they also come with their own shoe bags!
If you are choosing walking shoes for a trip, here is what to look for. Cushioned support matters, because a day of sightseeing can add up to miles. Choose a style that slips on and off easily to make airport security lines less stressful. Leave a little room for your feet, since they tend to swell on long flights. And pack a shoe bag so dirty soles never touch your clothes, which is why I like that Jambu includes one.
Break in any new pair before you leave. Wear them around town for a week or two so your first long day of walking is not also their first outing.
The Right Travel Bag
Finding the right bag is like finding that perfect shade of lipstick. It is a lifelong search, and through my many years of traveling, I have decided there isn't just one! It depends on the trip. Short trip, long trip, business trip- the bag you will need will differ.
In my case, even within a single trip, I bring many different sizes. It starts with the plane or car: a carry-on backpack or small suitcase, then moves into the trip with maybe a tote bag, fanny pack, or crossbody bag.
Here is a simple way to think about it by trip type.
- Short trip: a carry-on backpack or small suitcase plus a tote bag for the plane. Skipping a checked bag keeps things simple.
- Long trip: a carry-on plus a larger checked bag. A luggage scale helps you avoid overweight fees on the way home.
- Business trip: a carry-on with a tote or crossbody bag for your laptop and documents, so you can move through the airport quickly.
- Exploring a new city: a tote bag, crossbody bag, or fanny pack that keeps your essentials close, plus a FlipBelt for your passport and cards.
I have dedicated an entire article to what I think the best travel bags are and why.

Travel Essentials FAQ
What travel accessories do I need for a long flight?
For a long flight, pack a neck pillow, noise-canceling headphones, an eye mask, compression socks, a refillable water bottle, lip balm, and a soft blanket scarf. I carry mine in my MZ Wallace tote so everything fits under the seat.
Do I need a power adapter or a converter for Europe?
For most phones and laptops, you only need a plug adapter, because their chargers accept 100 to 240 volts. Check the charger label to be sure. Hair dryers and other heating appliances often need a dual-voltage model, like the Conair in this post, or a converter.
Is a SIM card or an eSIM better for Europe?
An eSIM is easier because you install it on your phone without swapping anything, but your phone must support eSIM. A physical SIM works in any unlocked phone. Orange sells its Holiday Europe plans as an eSIM through the Orange Travel app, and a 20 GB plan with calls and texts is $29.99 for 14 days.
What are the top travel accessory brands worth buying?
The brands I come back to are Anker for charging, Cabeau for neck pillows, Sony for headphones, Bombas for compression socks, Travalo for perfume atomizers, Matador for toiletries, and LEVEL8 for luggage and packing cubes.
What should I look for when buying my first travel-friendly electronics?
Look for gear that is compact, charges over USB-C, and works on 100 to 240 volts, so it travels well anywhere. A small USB-C charger, a plug adapter, and AirTags for your bags are a good place to start.
Are compression socks worth wearing on a flight?
Many travelers find they keep their legs more comfortable on long flights. Bombas makes everyday compression socks at 15 to 20 mmHg. If you have circulation concerns or a medical condition, ask your doctor which compression level is right for you.
Are packing cubes worth it, and what should I buy?
Yes. I have used them for decades and can't imagine packing without them. Quality matters, so choose a set with several sizes for clothing and accessories, like the LEVEL8, Quince, and Eagle Creek packing cubes in this post.
What are good travel accessories to give as gifts?
Good travel gifts include a blanket scarf, compression socks, refillable toothpaste tubes, a travel bottle set, and a FlipBelt. See my holiday gift list above for picks at every price.
What are the best travel accessories for business trips?
For a business trip, pack a carry-on, a tech organizer for cords and chargers, a compact USB-C charger, AirTags for your luggage, and a plug adapter if you are traveling abroad.
What size suitcase should I bring?
A carry on works well for 2 to 3 day trips, a medium suitcase for 5 to 7 day trips, and a large suitcase for longer or more complicated trips with multiple climates or layers. Write out what you plan to wear each day before you choose.
What are the best travel accessories for international travel to Europe?
Start with a European plug adapter, a European SIM or eSIM, a dual-voltage hair dryer, a luggage scale to avoid airline weight fees, and packing cubes and travel bottles to keep your bag organized.

Don't forget to pin this for later!
I need some of these. We’re headed to Scotland and Ireland in July!

I so need a travel pillow. I like that your pick is inflatable so I can toss it into my travel bag.
having a universal adapter has proven so useful to us, and those shoes look so cool..
You are right! These are must have gadgets when travelling. But the FlipBelt Running Belt is something that I use very often even when I just go out for a walk!
