Fit everything for your trip into a bag that slides under the seat in front of you.
1. Lululemon City Trek Trouser II
Minimize the load in your carry-on bag by bringing only one pair of pants. The moisture-wicking, extra-stretchy fabric in these trousers is designed for extended wrinkle-free wear. Slip them on for your evening flight, then wear them to your morning meeting the next day.
$128[1]
2. Allbirds Wool Loungers
Made from superfine merino wool, these shoes are as supportive as sneakers when you’re racing to the gate, as soft as slippers when you’re waiting to board, and as warm as fuzzy socks when the cabin gets chilly. Laceless construction makes them easy to slip on and off at security.
$95[2]
3. Mophie Powerstation AC
Don’t count on there being an outlet underneath your seat. This portable 22,000-mAh power brick lets you charge your laptop anywhere, anytime, with its built-in AC outlet. USB ports let you charge your phone, headphones, and other devices multiple times over.
$200[3]
4. Amazon Kindle Oasis
Rookie mistake: lugging a Zadie Smith hardcover in your carry-on. Use Amazon’s feather-light read-everything machine instead. The battery lasts for weeks, and this model comes with audiobook support for when you need to drown out that loud snorer in seat 23B.
$250[4]
5. HEX x Alyasha Owerka-Moore Travel Duffel
The rest of the plane can fight for the overhead bins—this 29-liter bag nestles between your feet. Classic tweed and brass complement modern updates: A padded sleeve pampers your laptop while interior pockets secure your toiletries, passport, and snacks.
$180[5]
