1. A four-pack of Apple AirTags to keep your anxiety at bay while flying. I mean, who doesn't fear their bag being lost? Put it in your suitcase, wallet, or whatever you're afraid to lose and use the Find My app to always be able to see where your bag is.
You can put the AirTag on Lost Mode and receive a notification when it's been detected by the Find My app.
Promising review: "We purchased these for our trip in Europe. Landed in Rome and couldn't find my luggage. I checked the FindMy app and saw my bag moving away from the airport. I contacted the Baggage Claim folks and showed them the FindMy app. They quickly checked baggage left behind and contacted those folks. Within half an hour they found the person with my bag and had them bring it back to the airport. They held their bag until mine was in their possession. It took about three hours in total, but I got my bag back! I can't speak to battery life but I definitely think AirTags are worth the investment!" —DogsoftheWeek
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $78.99.
2. A portable digital luggage scale because every time you go to the airport your luggage is a pound overweight and you have to pay those outrageous baggage fees. Hook this bb to your luggage handle, lift it up, and the display will let you know how many more outfits you can cram into your suitcase without going over the weight limit. You'll feel SO godlike looking over at the mortals who are stressing and praying their bag isn't overweight.
You can switch between pound and kilogram measurements.
And check it out on TikTok!
Promising reviews: "When checking a bag, you always want to know the weight so you don't get charged extra. I was super nervous when this scale weighed a bag at almost 49 pounds knowing that the weight limit was 50 pounds and scales can vary. Was holding my breath when it was put on the scale at the airport and the scale came up as 49 pounds! Relieved and thrilled that this luggage scale was accurate!" —Sky & Nic
"This was a great investment. No more guessing what our suitcases weight before getting to the airport. Found the accuracy to be very spot-on. If you check a bag on your travels, you need one of these!" —pax
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.68 (available in seven colors/styles and as single packs).
3. A handy RFID-blocking travel wallet complete with a — *get ready* — passport pocket, boarding pass compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, a slim pocket — *takes a breath* — a ticket slot, a cellphone pouch, a coin zippered pocket, a key holder, and a pen holder, all in one place. No more searching for your boarding pass or digging through your carry-on for your credit card when purchasing your morning coffee.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this wallet. I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! I can fit my boarding pass, passport, ID, credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, and more in it, yet it doesn’t bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. It's just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese yen (¥), which are larger. I didn’t use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" —Anthony Luu
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 36 colors).
4. A TikTok-popular spacious travel-friendly backpack that'll hold SOOOO much stuff. It'll fit right under the seat in front of you so you can use it as the "personal item" you're allowed to bring along andddd it has a USB port! If you like piña coladas, getting caught in the rain, lots of pockets/compartments, and a separate waterproof wet bag, this is the perfect bag for you.
It also has a pocket for your shoes and a strap that slides down over your luggage handle for easy transport. Reviewers say it meets Spirit, JetBlue, American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Southwest, Delta, Frontier, and United Airlines personal item rules and fits under airplane seats!

Promising review: "One bag handled a week of travel! This bag is like magic! I fit four pairs of shorts, four shirts, underwear, socks and couple of workout outfits with sports bras, two pairs of sandals, four bathing suits, a coverup, sun hat, toiletries, cosmetics, a laptop, notebook, three device chargers (computer, phone and Fitbit) and an electric toothbrush. Even when packed to the max, the weight is comfortably distributed so it doesn’t break your back. It fits under the seat perfectly, too. I bought it when it a was 50% off but I’d pay full price knowing how awesome this bag is for travel." —AlexanderK
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four sizes and 27 colors).
5. An expandable hard shell carry-on suitcase with wheels, an internal compression divider, a TSA-approved lock, and a built-in CHARGER PORT!! 🥳🥳🥳 It has a designated pocket for your laptop (up to 15") and fits into most US flight overhead bins. Def will be an upgrade from your current carry-on — it's giving zero to hero vibes and this bb is obvi the hero.
You'll need a portable charger which is *not* included — it just has the port for easy access — so be sure to grab one!
Promising review: "I was reluctant to consider a hard shell roller bag, convinced they hold much less than my soft side one. This Aerotrunk 23" bag fits in the overhead bin and is very spacious inside. It rolls like a dream and the interior is very well laid out. Both sides pack plenty and secure contents well and the mesh zippered bags are great for toiletries, lingerie, etc. An added bonus is the outside laptop compartment, which also stores all other electronics you might travel with. It's also classy looking! All in all, a great buy." —LCM
Get it from Amazon for $199.95 (available in four sizes/styles, three colors, and in a three piece set).
6. And some luggage wheel protectors so you can waltz through the airport without hearing your suitcase squeak behind you.
Promising review: "These are fire! Definitely provides little grip, moves quietly, doesn’t mess with the luggage wheel rotation, and little less vibration, I guess, because rubber is absorbing. Love the bright red color that goes well with my carbon fiber luggage. Easy to install, and it’s funny they have directional line/arrow like car tires lol details count for me." —Tieng Nguyen
Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight colors).
7. A portable espresso maker because you need caffeine for your 7 a.m. flight but don't wanna pay airport prices or stand in those suuuper long lines. This bad boy lets you use Nespresso pods so you can have your morning coffee wherever and whenever you please.
Promising review: "The best thing for traveling ever!! I have to have espresso every morning and most small hotels and gas stations don't have espresso coffee so this is perfect! Easy to use. The cleaning takes 30 seconds; just rinse with water and let it dry." —Joanna Verdeja
Get it from Amazon for $54.90.
8. A lightweight, compact stroller that can fit in the overhead bin on a plane (cuz it folds up so small) so you don't have to rent one when you're out. Also a plus — you won't have to go wait for it when grabbing your luggage! Pull this baby out and stroll your kiddo right on over to grab your suitcases.
It can hold kids who weigh up to 55 pounds and it only weighs 9.5 pounds.
Promising review: "This is a must-have for all parents with toddlers, especially if you are going on a trip. We went to a place where they do not recommend a stroller because it’s too bulky and gets in your way. Well, using this was not a problem at all. People were amazed how this thing works, and it’s really handy. Very easy to fold. Very light and not space consuming in your trunk! Love it so much!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $219.99+ (available in two colors/styles).
9. A Cincha travel belt to securely fasten your bag to your rolling suitcase. It's adjustable and it comes in tons of cute designs that'll make it hard to choose just one.

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 16 colors and designs).
10. A 16GB waterproof Kindle Paperwhite with an anti-glare display so it'll feel less like you're reading from a screen and more like you're diving into a novel with actual paper pages. Perfect for some long flight reading. And if someone is splashing your way while you read by the pool, you won't have to worry about it ruining your new fave little gadget.
Promising review: "OK, I admit it, for a long time I resisted because I like the feel of a book in my hand. But too many planes and overstuffed carry-on bags changed my mind, and my wonderful girlfriend bought me this for Christmas. I love how light and easy to carry it is (back pocket of my jeans? No problem!) and it solves another dilemma — whether to turn on the overhead light on a late-night flight when I'm the only one awake! Initially I thought the battery had an issue, but now it seems fine and is only down to 60% after a week of use. Huge fan!" —Chris M.
Check out our review of the Kindle Paperwhite here.
Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available with or without three months of free Kindle Unlimited, with or without lock screen ads, and in three colors).

Twelve South is a husband and wife-owned biz based in Charleston, South Carolina that specializes in designing accessories inspired by and made for Apple products since 2009.
Promising review: "Bought this for my Bose headphones because we fly a lot and I got tired of being attached by wires. It worked perfectly during my Delta flight to and from the Caribbean. Easy to set up, just follow the simple instructions in the little booklet. Plugs right into the usual earphone jack. Easy controls for volume; I love that I don’t have to keep touching the entertainment screen. Just don’t forget to unplug it when you get off the plane. It’s small and possibly easy to overlook. Comes with a cute drawstring carry bag. It’s small enough so that I can store it right in my headphone case. Highly recommend." —Robin U
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four styles and two colors).
12. A luggage drink caddy because those early morning flights are no joke and your iced coffee is a travel necessity. It'll stick right onto your wheeled luggage and has two pockets that can be used to hold your Starbies or Dunkin' drink, water bottles, snacks, your phone — whatever you need it to hold so you can keep your hands empty.
Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 25 colors and in two other styles).
13. A travel-friendly blanket that doubles as a pillow because why the heck are planes soooo cold?! It'll reaaaally come in handy when it's too hot to bundle up but you know you're gonna freeze your butt off the entire five-hour flight. No need to sweat it out in a hoodie and sweatpants — this soft little blanket will keep you warm and cozy as you watch the mortals shiver.
Oh! It also comes with a backpack clip so you can attach it to your backpack/luggage and avoid taking up precious carry-on space.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I ordered two of these and my daughter and I both use them numerous times while flying recently. They compact nicely, have a loop that can go through the handle of a carry-on, and are the perfect size for snuggling up and sleeping on the airplane. It is lightweight and I will not fly again without it!" —SweetMama
Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in six colors).
14. A pair of 2nd Gen Apple AirPods Pro with noise cancellation so you can drown out the sound of the screaming toddler on the plane. Plus, no wires getting tangled up!
Promising review: "I was skeptical to spend this much money on earbuds but now, I absolutely love them. I don’t leave the house without them and I use them every day. The noise cancelling is great on planes and at work too, so I can focus and block out all other noises." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $199.
15. An Airplane Pocket tray cover because you're a germaphobe and everything disgusts you, especially bacteria-filled surfaces on a seven-hour flight. This has four stretchy pockets so you can store your flight essentials and it's water-resistant and machine washable because yes, we've gotten to the age where we wanna clean things that help keep other things clean.
Check this bb out on TikTok; it's made by a small biz!
Promising reviews: "I used it last week and it was terrific. It fit everything: magazine, iPad, tissues, gum, glasses, phone, earplugs and water bottle. It stretched easily but tightly over the tray and both the flight attendant and my seat mates complimented me on it. I plan to use it every time I fly. It would be perfect for children, too. Highly recommend it." —Sue G.
"I love this for several reasons. One, it keeps me from having to touch the airplane seat pocket/tray table. Two, by putting my belongings inside I can’t leave anything behind. Three, It's lightweight and takes up very little space. And four, I throw it in the washing machine after every trip. No regrets and people always ask about it when they see me pull it out." —JHoov88
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
16. Plus a patterned travel tray for kids with different modes for "snacking," "tablet viewing," "contained toy play," and "free play," so your kiddo isn't touching a germ-y surface *and* so they don't make a huge mess on the plane tray.
Lusso Gear is a small biz that specializes in travel products.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this for traveling with kids!!! We bought this for a recent trip with our daughter and it made snack time and playtime on the flight so much easier and mess-free. It’s sturdy, high-quality, and fits perfectly on the tray table and tablet. It’s also a nice extra layer of protection from germs when traveling. Our daughter loved the cute mermaid design too!" —Laura Knotts
Get it from Amazon for $26.95 (available in five prints).
17. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount that can be used on ALLLLLL airlines! Mount it to your table tray so you can *easily* watch your fave movie on the flight, or mount it to the arm of a chair or any flat surface!
Perilogics is a small biz creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on the go.
Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra long-haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers." —Earendil
Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in five colors and in two-packs).
18. A pack of eight chewable Dramamine tablets for kids to help prevent and relieve nausea, dizziness, and vomiting. If you dread traveling long distances with your toddler because they get sick, you'll be soooo thankful to have these handy!
Recommended for children ages 2–12 but you should always consult with your pediatrician about medication for your child!
And if you get motion sickness on planes, make sure that you grab some Dramamine for adults!
Promising review: "We tried several natural remedies to reduce our daughter's severe motion sickness. Although they worked to some degree, we needed something that was more reliable and longer lasting. She would usually get sick after being in the car for 20 minutes. We gave our 30-lb toddler half of a tablet, according to her pediatrician's recommendation, before a four hour drive. She had no side reactions or sickness, was alert, and happily sang the whole way. Perfect. Since then, we have been on plane rides and 10 hour trips without any problems. She did get sick after traveling by car for about 14 hours, but she probably could have used another dose about an hour before. Although we dislike medicating our daughter, it is nice having a happy kid who now looks forward to trips." —MomofCuties
Get a pack of eight chewable tablets from Amazon for $4.49.
19. A Trtl neck pillow since on every flight you wake up and realize your neck is killing you from sleeping in such an awkward position orrrr that you've fallen asleep on your neighbor's shoulder. Simply adjust it for comfort and support and this lovely little pillow will make sure you wake up without a sore neck. It's also machine washable and fast-drying, unlike the U-shaped travel pillows.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Used it for a 14-hour flight to Japan last week, and it helped tremendously. This was the first time I was able to sleep on the plane so this helped tremendously. Definitely a must-have for travel. It is very light so I was able to easily pack it in my under-the-seat wheeled trolley. I want to emphasize how much the light warmth of the fleece (and I don't like being hot) was just right to help me nod off to sleep. Since this is primarily for sitting upright in the seat or someone in the middle or the aisle seat, this was ideal for me. I just got back yesterday. Again I used it — this time for a 12-hour flight." —Ambience
Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in three colors and in another style).
20. And a kid-size neck pillow so that they can take a much cozier nap on the plane. You can easily clip it to their backpack with the convenient ~strap snap~ and it's machine washable in case it gets all icky.
Promising review: "We bought this for our 3-year-old for an extra-long car trip, and it was amazing! It supported her head well, and she said it was cozy and soft. It allowed her to actually sleep on the car trip whereas before her nap was completely ruined because her head wouldn't stop falling down and waking her up, and she was miserable. Highly recommend!" —R. Thompson
Get it from Amazon for $42.97+ (available in two sizes for kids 3–7 and 8–12 and in 11 colors).
21. A transparent TSA-approved toiletry bag to make getting through security so much easier and keep all your liquids in one place. TSA will easily be able to identify the contents in your bag and they'll love you so much for it.
Promising review: "This bag held surprisingly more than expected. I put tiny travel jars for my skincare creams and other small toiletries in it with room to spare. I definitely feel like it was easier to pack and was also easy to grab out of my bag for security. It feels sturdy with nice, thick vinyl. The double zipper moved easily, and I was pleased that it opened completely for ease of getting the items I needed out of it." —Mrs M Tate
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 11 colors).
22. A flying USB port so that when you sit down for your layover and realize there are no more seats by outlets, you don't have to put your phone away to save battery and be forced to count the tiles on the ceiling to pass time. It's shaped like a cute little plane and has four places to plug in your electronics and keep 'em close to you, since there are always only like three outlets in resort rooms and NONE of them are close to your bed.
Multitasky is a BIPOC woman-owned and -run small biz that specializes in products that are both functional and cute.
Promising review: "What can I say? 😍 I’m obsessed with Multitasky’s blush pink collection! This Flyport is one of my faves — I always need more ports to charge all my devices from my phone, to my watch, to my power bank, to my AirPods. It's so convenient and cute!! Perfect for travels too because hotels never have enough USB ports!" —Ginger D.
Get it from Multitasky for $25 (available in three colors).
23. A skyline mini wallet emergency kit filled up with all the little things that *maaay* slip your mind when you pack — like a tampon, hair tie, bandage, and earring backs. It's small enough to throw into your carry-on bag or purse and will take up minimal space so you can grab it whenever you need.
Anne Cate is a woman-owned small biz based in Cleveland, Ohio that specializes in handmade minimalist keepsakes with skylines from more than 100 cities and colleges around the world!
The kit includes a vegan leather mini wallet, hair tie, chapstick, floss pick, sewing kit, bandage, emery board, safety pins, earring backs, a makeup wipe, bobby pins, a deodorant wipe, stain remover wipe, tampon, hand sanitizer, pain relief medicine, and mints.
Promising review: "The bag is perfect for travel/emergencies. It’s very well made and adorable." —Laura G.
Get it from Anne Cate for $25 (available in various skylines).
24. A JetKids ride-on carry-on suitcase because you know your little independent one won't let you carry them and they have Hulk-like strength when they're mid-meltdown. This will give you the peace of mind that your kiddo is right next to you and your little one will think it's a preview of the Disneyland rides they're about to be on when you all land.
It's recommended for kids ages 3–7 and fits most standard economy seats. It has an adjustable strap so you can carry it over your shoulder, a top handle, and a mattress inside that can be removed and used while in the air. It can be used on your flight as a foot rest for your little one and parents have also used this product while waiting for their flight to keep kids comfy and content.
Promising review: "Traveling with a toddler is always a challenge, but comfort is key, and this little magic package makes the airport trip that much smoother. We can store small toys, a pillow, and one throw blanket for our family of three. Great idea and great buy. We will be using this until it breaks." —TifferTheTrend
Get it from Amazon for $213.48+ (available in six colors).
25. A collapsible water bottle so you can stay hydrated on your flight without taking up precious carry-on space since you'll be scarfing down margaritas for three days straight. Plus, how much is a bottle of water at Disney, like $10? Pfttt, frugal people unite, no park is getting that much cash outta us for some H2O.
Promising review: "We were taking the kids to an amusement park that doesn't allow any outside food or drinks. Water and other drinks are $5-8! I bought these to take in the park and save some money while staying hydrated. They were perfect!!! Fold up and fit in your pocket when not filled and riding rides. Would also be good for hiking! Great find. Boil them before using as the tag says to get rid of that "rubber" smell/taste." —Bowe
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in various colors, shapes, and styles and in multipacks).
26. A Montessori busy board to keep your kiddo entertained on your flight until they *hopefully* fall asleep (crossing my fingers for you 🤞!). It has a bunch of zippers, buttons, laces, and buckles for your toddler to fiddle with, and it folds up and has handles so it'll be easy to carry.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this busy board! We bought this to keep our 1-year-old distracted on a 3.5-hour airplane ride. She absolutely loved it and couldn’t stop playing with it. We tied it to the seat tray so it didn’t slide all over. It is easy to carry, fits into a backpack no issue, and I love that it is all one piece — no tiny pieces to misplace!"—LEG 585
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven styles).
27. An in-flight foot hammock because you have first-class standards with an economy budget. This'll make those basic seats a lot more comfortable. Put your headphones in, order a glass of champagne, kick your feet up, and you'll forget you aren't actually in a super expensive seat.
Promising reviews: "This little purchase will help mitigate not getting a first-class seat! It makes comfort class/main bearable, and the money I save! On a flight to Paris right now and sooo happy! But, you can't use this if you've filled up the underseat storage with a bag." —cmcb
"Last year, we went to Ireland and the 10-hour flight about killed me, and we were about to get on another 10-hour flight to Italy just a little over a year later. This sent me on the hunt for the foot thingy that made the lady on the flight to Ireland look so comfortable, and here it is. If you buy anything for a long flight get this. It is cheap, durable, and works amazingly. It somehow allows you to turn those cheap economy seats into first class. It literally felt as though my seat was reclined back further just because my feet were elevated. They come in their own little bags and easily clipped to our bags." —Dale & Tiffany
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in multipacks).
28. A set of super-comfy putty earplugs that'll mold to the shape of your ear and block out any screaming babies, snoring, or whatever other noise is disrupting your little airplane power nap. They can *also* help prevent swimmer's ear if you plan on spending your entire vacation in the water.
BuzzFeed shopping writer Emma Lord can't recommend these enough: "TBH, I swear by these so aggressively that I have them on a subscription. They're like ear glue. My apartment is on a busy street and my upstairs neighbor is a noisy human being (does this count as a subtweet??) and once I pop these babies in I can barely hear a thing. Plus, my ears never get sore with these in like they do with headphones or other earplugs."
Promising review: "These ear plugs are my new travel companion. I can never sleep on a flight and decided to try these earplugs to see if these would help to get me through all of my holiday traveling — life-changing ear plugs! I finally was able to relax and rest on my flights like never before and on top of that, caught some great sleep at my parents' house despite having my snoring dad in the next room. Do not hesitate to buy these earplugs, they will improve your sleep immensely. Don't waste your time with knockoff brands — trust me, from my experience, you will not get the same result!" —Michael Johnston
Get a pack of 12 pairs from Amazon for $10.98.
29. And three pairs of kids' earplugs to help protect your toddler's litto ears from the sudden shifts in pressure that result in the dreaded ear popping. They're made of soft, hypoallergenic, latex-free silicone and will help keep your little babe from screaming the entire flight. You know, you gotta tread lightly with toddlers...if all else fails, throw them an Oreo.
Promising review: "Can't fly without these. Helped my 2-year-old soooo much! Surprisingly, he kept them in so I didn't have to worry about his little ears popping! Definitely recommend. —carolina alfaro
Get three pairs from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two styles).
30. An inflatable foot rest so you can literally kick your feet up, sit back, and relax like a god while you fly. It can be inflated to three heights and comes with an eye mask, earplugs, dust cover, and drawstring bag. So perfect for children and adults on long flights!
Promising review: "This footrest pillow is essential for those who travel very long distances. It is not only uncomfortable but unhealthy to leave feet dangling down for many hours or days at a time while traveling. I purchased this pillow to situate between my airplane seat and the seat in front of mine. It is wonderful to be able to prop my feet up, with bent knees, while watching movies or sleeping. I regularly fly the same route that is about 30 hours (including layovers), and when I am unable to get a seat up front, this footrest pillow keeps me more comfortable at the back of the plane." —Yvonne N
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors and in a two-pack).
31. And an inflatable wedge pillow because after being up at 2 a.m. to make a 6 a.m. flight, you're gonna reaaaaally want a nap and, let's face it, it's nearly impossible to get comfy on a plane. You can also prop your phone up in this and comfortably watch your fave show as you drift off.
Promising review: "I used this on four international flights last month and it made all the difference in the world. It's compact, easy to inflate/deflate, very versatile in how you can position it, doesn't rely on the tray table, and works well for bulkhead seats as well as those with someone in front of you. I can't sleep with my head back without snorting myself awake, so this is a perfect alternative. I can very comfortably lean forward in my seat and sleep almost like I can in a bed. I'm 6'2" and this pillow is plenty tall enough to just rest on my lap and let me lean forward into it without feeling crunched over. This pillow will easily let me get enough comfortable periods of sleep on a nine-hour flight that I don't feel completely drained upon arrival. My wife tried mine out before we left on vacation and loved it so much she had me order her one. We both wouldn't travel without them now." —Still Chilly In Colorado
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
32. A travel tray with a tablet viewing stand, a cup holder, a dry-erase board that doubles as an eating tray, and storage pockets for pens and toys — literally everything your kiddo needs for a long car ride. Now that four-hour trip to grandma's house will be a breeze and you can dread it a *bit* less.
Promising review: "Literal must-have for traveling with kids. We use this on long car trips or vacations. It’s a great place to color and keep markers and pencils close, and it's also great for eating in the car. Many vacations we grab fast food to eat while we are driving, and it’s so much easier for the kids to eat with this tray that keeps all their snacks and food close to them. I honestly don’t know how we traveled without this!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $28.95+ (available in 11 designs and in a two-pack).
33. A window seat BevLedge so you can double fist those drinks on your flight without worrying about taking up all the space on your little tray or having to hold one. It'll securely hook onto the window and there's even space to put your phone and earbuds!
BevLedge is a small biz.
Promising review: "A friend recommended this to me as a vital travel companion, now that I've returned to frequent flying. I initially thought of it as a novelty, but now that I've used it, it's a necessity. It keeps the workspace clear for my laptop, but it also organizes all the little pieces that can become so annoying to keep up with — glasses, earphones, etc. It got my seat mate's immediate attention, as well as a few other folks nearby. I suspect they'll have one soon. Watch for one soon in a window near you!" —Timothy G. Wolfe
