Travel trends may come and go, but necessities are necessities. You don’t just want to look good at the airport, you want to be prepared and comfortable for a no-fuss flying experience. As a road warrior myself, I’ve learned a thing or two about what is absolutely vital to airport survival. Below are a few of my favorite travel essentials for you, or that special traveler in your life.
1. Charger: There is literally nothing worse than having a dead phone in an airport and having to shoulder up next to someone who’s eating an Arby’s sandwich at an outlet to get a few precious bars of life to text your friends to tell them you’re alive and in O’Hare (inevitably) for the next 5 hours. Charge your batteries with this hybrid battery for iPhone 5 and never lose power or style while traveling. On Boostcase for $79.95.
2. Luggage Tracker: It’s a fun trend for airlines to lose my luggage then occasionally play all like, “You flew with us? When? This year? No record of that!” Some are better than others, but to be safe, keep tabs on your checked luggage with a Trakdot luggage tracker. On Trakdot for $59.99.
3. Travel Wallet
4. Oversized Sunnies:
5. Jewelry Roll:
6. A Go-To Tote:
