When traveling — whether your destination is domestic or abroad — it is essential to be prepared. Whether it’s the getting through the long flight or staying connected while hopping from country to country, there’s a lot to keep in mind while packing your bags.

An e-reader
The Kindle is great company for the avid reader in transit. Books take up a ton of space and are way too heavy to lug around from country to country. Instead, load your library onto a Kindle and take all your favorite adventures with you wherever you go.
Kindle Paperwhite, $99.99, available at Amazon.
Smart luggage
We previously covered the BlueSmart Carry-On as an essential travel item. The bag features a smart lock that connects to your phone, an internal battery that you can charge your devices with, and a sensor that can weigh your luggage so your bag is never too heavy for the overhead bin.
Bluesmart Smart Carry-On, $399, available at Amazon.
Noise-cancelling headphones
Noise-cancelling headphones will make any long flight more pleasant, replacing the droll hum of the engines with Taylor Swift, Beethoven, or whatever else you choose to listen to during your time spent at 30,000 feet. Additionally, if you’re in a city that parties all night (looking at you, Barcelona), they’ll help you catch some shut eye once you’ve landed.
Bose QuietComfort 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones, $299, available at Amazon.
