People cannot get enough of this travel backpack from Amazon. It’s become a viral, social media hit because of its convenient and spacious design.

Travel Pillow

Hannah Oh, assistant shopping editor, swears by this gem with over 35,000 reviews. "I, like most people, used to use a travel pillow, but my dad introduced me to the trtl years ago and I’ve never gone back," she said. "It stabilizes your neck because it goes higher up than your average donut pillow, so your head is less likely to fall forward as you’re trying to sleep in economy—and it’s significantly lighter and easier to carry around (plus you won’t look like a tourist if looking cool at the airport is something you care about)."

Packing a chonky umbrella (or forgetting one in the midst of monsoon season) is something I know you definitely don’t wanna do. Hey, I’m with ya!
