Reviewers also love this suitcase because it's easy to wheel around if you're walking through a terminal or hotel!

Béis is a woman-owned travel accessories brand founded by actress and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell. You'll find carry-on rollers, weekender bags, packing cubes, and more practical goods for your next trip!

Promising review: "Flawless! I am obsessed with this luggage. I ordered the three-piece set and the weekender bag! The zipper slot to slip the bag over the luggage handle makes loading and trekking through the airport so much easier. The interior of all the pieces is great quality, and I love the small touches (pockets, laundry bags, etc). Zippers are all sturdy, and the locks are very easy to use. A++!" —Lisa B.

Promising review: "I bought this a few months ago when I knew I'd be flying across the country (more or less) twice this past spring/summer; it was the first new luggage I had bought in about 25 years. I've taken the set on several trips now — two round-trip flights with plane changes, a couple of two-night road-trip hotel stays, a six-day 1,800-mile road trip, and a mandatory wildfire evacuation, and I really, really like it. It rolls like a dream on hard floors, sidewalks, and parking lots — makes it easy for two people to manage three suitcases, each with a laptop bag or duffel attached. The bright red color (my favorite shade of red) really pops and makes it easy to pick out of a luggage carousel. It's lightweight and goes in and out of a hatchback with ease. This set truly makes travel even more fun. Well worth the money." —Rachel

Promising review: "I love this thing! I always hated putting things in the seat pocket on planes. It was easy for things to get lost in there, or sometimes the pockets were pretty tight. This thing was amazing. I was able to get everything out of my bag that I might need during the flight and had easy access to it all. It was so much better than having to pull my bag out constantly to get stuff I needed. It also folds up nicely, so it doesn’t take up much space in your bag." —Corey

Promising reviews: "I would absolutely recommend this for anyone who travels, especially internationally, because of all the extra costs for going over in weight. We were among the few people in line who didn’t need to rearrange our luggage at the airport to meet the weight requirements in Milan. So easy to pack and take with you." —Addison

"This little device was well worth the money spent. It saved us a lot of money on our flight home since we knew the weight was over and could pre-purchase the overage in the app instead of paying double at the airport. I’ll never travel without it!! Very easy to use." —Michael Ellis

Get it from Amazon for $8.90 (available in four colors and also as a two-pack).

Promising review: "I took my kids on their first international trip, and this thing was a total lifesaver. It fits easily in a fanny pack or small purse for easy access, and it fits my whole family's passports, vaccine cards, boarding passes, and a pen with plenty of room for cash and cards if you decide to use it as a wallet for your trip. It made getting checked in a breeze and helped my family keep everything organized." —Kevin Garcia

Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in five colors). 

Reviewers say it's ideal for a suitcase that can roll on four wheels! If you have a suitcase that tilts while rolling, just be careful if the drinks are open at the top.

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, I dropped and spilled my drink everywhere when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket. It was a nightmare! This time, I bought this cup holder to 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 $11.99+ (available in 20 colors/prints). 

Promising reviews: "I bought this as a purse for traveling to populated European cities, as there are heaps of pickpockets. It worked perfectly! It is the perfect size to fit everything I need and was super comfortable. Highly recommend." —Jessie Anela

"I bought this fanny pack to take on our trip to San Francisco, and it worked out better than I thought it would! We hiked through Muir Woods, and I loved that my hands were free from holding a purse! Then we walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, went to Chinatown, the wharf, etc., and again it was great not having to hold anything. This is by far the best bag I've ever traveled with. It is almost the exact same size as a name-brand bag, but a lot less. Best purchase for the vacation :)" —Pat

Unlike the regular U-shaped pillows, Trtl Pillows are machine-washable and fast-drying.

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 pack it easily into 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 for someone in the middle or aisle seat, it was ideal for me. I just got back yesterday. Again I used it — this time for a 12-hour flight." —Ambience

The pillow is made with a breathable, super soft bamboo fabric and is fully machine washable. 

Promising review: "We got a few different types of travel pillows for a red-eye to Europe, and this was overall our favorite due to its versatility. The loop actually allows you to have various self-supporting positions, and it can contort into all sorts of ways to be a pillow, neck rest, arm rest…anything. It’s actually just good for any type of travel in general and got a lot of use on the whole trip. The material is soft and comfortable." —Tom Shaw

Get it from Amazon for $54.50 (available in nine colors). 

Promising reviews: "I have sensitive skin, so I am particular about my face products. I travel for work two to four times per year and usually once for vacation, and I try to avoid bringing so much liquid due to restrictions. I can bring these and leave both my face and eyes cleaner at home. They are great for use in-flight on long overseas legs and in your seat. No need to disturb anyone or spend extra time in the overused, tiny bathroom. I have never broken out, and they don’t bother my eyes. I do use my normal face lotion after these, unless on the plane. They don’t leave your skin dry." —Andrea Louise

"I use these for travel and freshening up on the plane before landing or whenever I am hot and am not in a place where I can wash my face. They are wonderful. I used to buy the big packs, but found them awkward to carry. With these, I throw a bunch in my travel pack, and I am off. Love them!" —BrianM_NJ

Oh, what was that? Sorry, can't hear you. I'm busy re-living the Eras Tour.

Promising review: "These headphones are a game-changer. As an avid music enthusiast, frequent traveler, and lover of movies in a loud and busy household, these headphones have improved my audio experiences in ways I never knew were possible. First and foremost, the noise cancellation is unparalleled. The moment you put these on, the outside world fades away. However, it still offers the ability to be aware of your surroundings when needed without stopping your audio. If you are traveling, you don't need to worry about the headphones going out on you, because the battery life is incredible. As with all Bose products, the craftsmanship and quality are top-notch. I have been hesitant to purchase Bose headphones in the past because I just didn't think that I would be able to tell enough of a difference. I was wrong. I am beyond excited to have these headphones, and it has added so much to my entertainment enjoyment." —P.O.

Promising review: "I've been a big fan of this lip balm for about seven years. It keeps my lips super hydrated. I live in a cold climate, and as a flight attendant, I'm in a super dry environment for 8+ hours a day. I swear by this product. My favorite flavor is the Mint, solely for the fact that I don't really like tasting fruity flavors on my lips, especially while I'm masked up. It's so good that if I run out of it, I'd rather do without than get something else. Good thing it's available on Prime!" —Joseph M

Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six flavors and also in packs of three).

Promising reviews: "I love travel razor! I go on a lot of trips for work and pleasure, and I like to keep my toiletries organized and minimal. This is a perfect size for my toiletry bag. The handle is big enough that it doesn’t interfere with the use of the razor, and the case is a great bonus. I’ll never travel without this again." —Joanne

"I bought this originally for traveling, but quickly switched to using it at home as well. I feel like you have a lot more control when your hand is closer to the blade. I cut myself way less with this than with a regular razor. Also, the case is great, not just for the plane, but also so much better than those dumb, flimsy suction cup hooks they give you. Blades seem to last longer because they're slightly more protected." —Lena V

EverSnug is a small business that sells travel sleeping care kits.

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 seven colors).

Promising reviews: "I loved it so much, I bought a second for my boyfriend! We both travel so much that sometimes you end up in a hotel room where the blinds still let in light, and this blocks it out without compressing your eyelids, where it feels like you’re being forced to keep them shut. I love that the compression contours around your eye so that you can open your eyes without feeling like you’re restricted. I love it so much I sleep with it at home now, and I never travel without it!" —Jordann

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in eight colors/styles).

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord swears by these and raves: "The moldable silicone of Mack's Earplugs contours easily to the shape of your ear to block out noise much more effectively than other foam or plastic varieties, and the noise reduction is so good that if I pair them with a white noise machine (or just like a white noise loop on Spotify) I genuinely don't hear noises from outside my room. Not only that, but once they're in place, they stay locked there until you decide to pull them out.

Granted, I can still hear my alarm, and like, if the fire alarm went off or something, I'd definitely wake right up. But noises that are distant and loud are pretty easily canceled out by these.

I've also *loved* these for traveling — if you put these babies in on a plane, not only does it help reduce some of the YIKES factor when the plane takes off (it's loud!!), but it cancels out the murmuring noises of passengers on the flight and makes it easier to get some shuteye." 

For more info on melatonin, visit The Mayo Clinic.

As someone who has a hard time napping at home (much less on a plane), I have been using these tablets for years now. I can't say enough about how well they work at giving you a soft, sleepy feeling without making you feel heavy or drowsy. They also seem to last FOREVER. Personally, I'll take even half the tablet and I'm off to Dreamland. The yummy berry taste is also a bonus, and I wake up feeling rested and refreshed! 

Promising review: "I travel internationally frequently and constantly struggle with jet lag. I've tried many different melatonin sleep aid pills. And while many of them do help somewhat, these melatonin tablets have consistently worked the best. They work fast and give me a full night's sleep. I highly recommend them." —Just Joe

Tower 28 is an Asian woman-owned business designed for sensitive skin. Their products are free of any sensitivity-causing ingredients and are also vegan and cruelty-free.

Promising review: "So, I love this thing. I usually end up with horrible skin after flying. Especially if it's a long-haul flight. So now I spritz this on my face a few times during the flight, and I arrive at my destination with fantastic skin. One day, I boarded the plane with my skin already broken out, some pimples and all, and by the end of the flight, it was all gone. It's a miracle worker!!!" —FabsConti

Get it from Sephora for $12+ (available in three sizes).

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. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel, too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards, and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well built, and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far, it still feels solid, and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —Earendil

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in seven colors and packs of two). 

You know how everyone has those little items that are permanently in their carry-on bag? This is one of them for me. Being able to get some nice airflow wherever I go has been so amazing; I can never go back. And not even just for travel! I also take it to amusement parks and on hikes, and I even use it throughout my makeup routine to help set products in place. Plus, the battery life is *top tier.*

Promising review: "This thing was a godsend while I was in Florida in the summertime. Love that it has a flashlight, and you can use it as a backup power bank in a pinch. For me, this fit all my needs, it kept me cool in Florida, fit perfectly in my purse/backpack, and on my wrist. I pretty much took this wherever I went and even used it on the plane during boarding when it was super hot in there. I’m giving this five stars, it worked perfectly for me." —Erica

Get it from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "LOVE this adapter! I travel from time to time internationally and have always used just the 'standard' adapters found in airports. Could not pass up the opportunity to purchase this one after reading the reviews. Exceeded my expectations of what it was capable of. Used on a recent trip to Germany, and it handled everything needed — laptop, cell phone (USB ports are so very welcome), alarm clock, dryer, etc. Did not miss a beat on the power provided. And it is also attractive-looking. ;-) Thank you for making such a great, dependable product!" —Monkey 

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (also available in several other formats).

Promising review: "I will never fly again without this. I've recommended it to everyone. East coast USA to Southeast Asia, 24 hours in long-haul flights each way, with a serious low back pain condition to start. But being able to hang my legs, even in a sideways position, saved me from hours of pain that I had endured previously flying with economy leg room. So easy to loop over the tray table brackets in both the stowed and open positions. This is a must-have for any flight." —DL Flin

Get it from Amazon for $14.94 (also available in multipacks). 

Promising review: "I went on a long trip overseas and visited a number of less-than-sanitary areas. These were total lifesavers. My coworkers used them too. Wonderful. Plus, they're small enough to take on the plane. The TSA didn't even insist I put it in a quart-sized bag." —Kris Jennings

Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $19.75 (also available in a pack infused with essential oils!). 

Before I started using these a couple of years ago, my ears would *always* start to hurt when the plane began descending. I'd have to press my fingers on my ears and chew on gum just to try to dissuade some of the discomfort. Now, as soon as the captain announces they are starting the descent, I put these in my ears (BTW, they're surprisingly comfortable!), put my headphones on over them, and can actually enjoy the last half hour of my flight.

Promising review: "I am very sensitive to the change in pressure on airplanes, to the point where I am in tears on takeoff and landing. I finally had to do something about it, or I would fear flying again. I wish I had known about these years ago. They alleviated ALL sensitivity to the pressure change and made for a very comfortable and anxiety-free flight. I can't recommend them enough." —Nancy Cardella

Get a pair from Amazon for $7.69 (also available in multipacks and in kids' sizes).

Reviewers swear by these nonmedicated bands for nausea relief: they've used them while traveling on airplanes, boats, and cars, and for morning sickness during pregnancies. Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Promising review: "I bought these for an upcoming cruise, but thought I would try them out when flying (as I tend to get motion sickness even after taking Dramamine). I was very surprised that I had no motion sickness after wearing these on two different work trips. I also took these on a cruise and only had to use them once. Once I felt the motion sickness coming on, I put on the bands, and the sickness was gone in about 15 minutes. They came in a nice plastic case and are reusable." —Jessica

Promising review: "My family goes to Disney World every year, and even with rotating shoes every other day, we still get blisters. I bought this two months ago before our trip, and it was worth every penny. We rubbed it all over the top, bottom, and sides of our feet and toes each morning, and our feet did not blister! I highly recommend this product for long Disney days or any time you will be on your feet for a long period of time." —Cari Sanders

It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual. Traveling with a family member or friend? They can also sync their earbuds to this gadget!

Promising review: "Ever since I purchased my wireless Bose earbuds, I have always hated having to use another set when I was on an airplane with the seat-back entertainment system. I tried many different models to connect the system to my Bluetooth headsets until I came across this one, and it is amazing! It seamlessly connects to my headset, has very clear and reliable audio, and it takes the stress away from having to carry more than one headset! Thank you!!!" —Soccerboy

Get it from Amazon for $52.55+ (also available in three other styles and six colors).

Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this travel duffel bag; it's been an absolute game changer for my trips. I've taken it on several journeys, including some rough adventures, and it still looks as good as new. The size is just perfect — it holds a surprising amount of stuff while remaining compact enough to fit in overhead compartments or under seats on flights. The compartments and pockets help keep everything organized, which is a lifesaver when you're on the go. The quality of the zippers and handles is top-notch. The shoulder strap is comfortable, and the option to carry it as a backpack is a fantastic feature. It's great for weekend getaways, business trips, or even as a gym bag. I've used many travel bags in the past, but this one truly stands out for its quality and functionality. It's become my go-to travel companion, and I wouldn't travel without it. If you're in need of a reliable, stylish, and spacious travel duffel, look no further. This bag is a winner!" —Liz

Promising review: "I’ve had this bottle for over a year! It’s lasted with my family through Disney World, Destin spring break, and every time we go to the pool! I’ve had some bad sunburns. I slather this on and reapply after it’s soaked in, and I wake up with a deep tan. Whatever is in it is like magic! The smell is kinda weird to me, but as well as this lotion works, it could smell like cough syrup, and I’d still happily use it." —Natalie Smith

Promising review: "These headphones are great! They have a nice shape and comfort, and sound isolation that serves my kid well on a 10-hour flight with other screaming kids. These headphones have great sound isolation that makes it still possible for my kid to listen during plane rides despite volume limitation, and also able to ignore the four other screaming, tantruming toddlers in our cabin. I was just about to dig deeper in my pockets to buy much more expensive headphones for my kids, but these work great with a nice budget! They fold compactly, so they were easy to pack. The cord had a nice fabric soft feel. Highly recommend for travel." —Elizabert
