There are two kinds of packers: those who stuff everything into a suitcase the night before they leave for their holiday, and those who start meticulously preparing for their trip by neatly packing their packing cubes with all their essentials in the days leading up to their departure.
And they get married, right?
Whether you're the former or the latter (I won't say which), here are the must-have Amazon travel accessories that will smooth the way to your next adventure.
Remove the air
If you've never had to deal with lost luggage at an airport, consider yourself lucky. If your luck runs out and your suitcase is left on the beach while you rush back to Pittsburgh, Apple AirTags can help you track your luggage. With a simple one-tap setup, AirTags connect instantly to your iPhone or iPad. I like this set of four because it gives me enough tags for all my previous luggage.

Packed
These sturdy, lightweight packing cubes make packing a breeze. This set of 8 includes standard cubes as well as a cosmetics case, laundry bag, underwear cube, and shoe holder. Not only will they help you save space in your suitcase, but the mesh panels on the top of the cubes make it easy to identify your items. Plus, this set comes in a variety of cute colors and patterns (I love the pink leopard print).

Neck to neck
Yes, the TrTL Travel & Airplane Pillow looks like a weird neck brace, but that aside, experienced travelers love this pillow's unparalleled neck and shoulder support. The pillow's patented design keeps your head and neck upright while you nap, preventing you from waking up in pain, tension, and distress. Lightweight and compact, this pillow also features soft fleece and plush cushioning.

Lead the charge
There's nothing worse than running out of battery on your phone when you're in a new place (or anywhere), and a portable charger can help prevent that from happening. Slim, lightweight, and battery-powered, the Anker charger has over 100,000 positive reviews and is compatible with iPhones, Androids, and other USB-charged devices. “Keeping this portable charger in your backpack means you'll never have to worry about running out of battery at the most inopportune time,” writes one five-star reviewer.

Fan club
I'm a fan of the mini electric fan I bought for my two grade-school-aged daughters to cheer on at football games in 90-degree August heat. This handheld, rechargeable fan is a cool companion for concerts, camping, and walking the hot, crowded streets of Disney World. Those who know, know. Bonus: This fan also has a built-in flashlight.
