19 Ways To Upgrade Your Budget Flight Experience
An airplane window tray to hold your drinks and phone when you want to keep your tray table up or free to hold your laptop. Time to play Stardew Valley for 13 hours! :)
An in-flight foot hammock that hangs on the arms of your tray table so you can kick your feet up and pretend you have the ability to stretch out. Many reviewers (especially the vertically challenged) say it helps with soreness and swelling on long flights.
Or an inflatable footrest you can adjust to three different heights to create a more comfortable seating arrangement. It can be compressed and fits into a drawstring bag so you don't have to worry about it taking up all the space in your backpack. Speaking on things you don't have room for, reviewers say it's easy to blow up and deflate without a pump!
Snack containers with four compartments so you can set yourself up with one of those "cheese boards" they offer in first class. Fill 'em up with cheese cubes, salami slices, veggies, hummus, candy, or whatever you'd like! It's your adult Lunchable to customize however you see fit.
A tray table cover so all your snacks, books, devices, and other essentials are within easy reach. Not everyone can afford a fancy seat with extra storage room in the armrest, but anyone can get creative.
A seat extender that'll let your little one stretch out and even take a nap. The hammock-like device unfolds from a travel bag and buckles onto the chair and tray table arms. Oh, to be tiny enough to lie down in a single airplane seat.
Tower 28's daily facial spray designed to balance skin pH and help minimize irritation, redness, and flare-ups. It's perfect for giving your skin a reset after many hours locked into a stale-aired metal box with 300 or so people. It's the next best thing to the hot washcloths you've seen get passed around at the front of the plane.
A cooling memory foam contoured sleep mask to shroud your face in darkness when it's nap time, but your neighbor's reading light or open window is getting in the way. It surrounds your eyes without putting pressure on them — that means it can completely block out light while still allowing you to freely blink. Who needs a private mini cabin when you have this? OK, still me, but this softens the blow of not getting one.
A Vesta Loop travel pillow for anyone who wishes they had a little pet snake that could gently strangle them to sleep. The firm pillow twists and sits securely on your shoulders, keeping your head upright while you sneak in a nap and dream of what's going on behind that snobby lil' curtain.
Or an inflatable wedge pillow if you find neck rests simply don't offer the support you crave. You can faceplant on its padded top and loop your arms around the bottom. Now, you can catch some ZZZs and send a strong "do not disturb" message to your chatty seat neighbor.
Comfortable wax earplugs to help block out unwanted noises, from crying babies to arguing couples. They comfortably mold to the shape of your inner ear, ensuring a perfect, personalized fit. That means more time to nap and less time playing mediator in a lover's quarrel.
A wireless transmitter that'll connect your AirPods (or any other wireless headphones) to the headphone jack on the flight so you can get access to the free entertainment without having to use those tinny-sounding earbuds they offer during flights.
Or a hands-free rotating phone mount you can install onto your tray table or chair arm so you can watch your own entertainment — because sometimes the in-flight options are reminiscent of a DVD bargain barrel. This can mount onto almost any surface, so it'll also come in handy pre-boarding when they delay your flight yet again. This wouldn't happen if you had a private jet, but alas.
A hoodie made with a built-in eye mask so you can pull the hood up and get right to sleep before your seat mate starts showing you pictures of their time at Coachella.
Or a weighted hoodie to gently smoosh you to sleep if plane naps are normally out of the question. Like a weighted blanket, it can help reduce flight anxiety and soothe restless limbs, so you can sleep like a baby (not the one currently crying in 32A, of course).
A cocktail tin with everything you need (syrup, bitters, mixing tools, etc.) to make an amazing drink — just add an airplane bottle, and you're basically an in-flight bartender. Who needs the gross sparkling wine in first class anyway?
A luggage-mounted cup caddy so you can keep your smoothie or coffee secured while you run to your gate. We can't all afford an assistant to hold our things, and the last thing you need is to be sticky for a 10-hour flight.
A bunch of Sriracha packets to help make the bland airplane food taste sliiiiightly more edible.
A digital luggage scale so there are no surprises when it's time to check your bag. Drop off your perfectly weighted luggage with zero extra fees and finally not wonder if it's worth splurging on an elite airline credit card just to avoid future checked bag troubles.
Desperately waiting for Nathan Fielder to perform another Miracle Over the Mojave, but for comfortable airplane seats...

It has 4 stars on Amazon but this inflatable nap pillow doesn't live up to the hype — here's why
In a cramped space with an achy neck and restless legs, sleeping on the go is somewhat of a skill. However, there are now a bunch of accessories available to help you snooze wherever you are (or claim to do that). And the travel pillow market is getting particularly experimental. While you'll never get the same quality sleep as you would resting on one of this year's best pillows, there are innovative pillow designs to help you fit in ZZZs at your desk, on a train or mid flight. With a few trips planned for the summer, I decided to give an Amazon's Choice inflatable travel pillow a go. With an average rating of 4/5 stars and over 400 verified reviews, I was keen to try it out. My verdict? I won't be parting ways with my trusty neck pillow anytime soon. Even though this one is inflatable and packs down neatly, I find a standard travel pillow a more practical and comfortable option. I've been using the Maliton inflatable pillow, which is designed to support your head in various positions while sleeping on planes, trains, in cars or at the office. It's available at for $16.49 now after a 21% discount (was $20.99), or you can find it at retail price of £15.99 at The inflatable pillow is designed with holes for your face and arms and a 45° tilt at the top for optimal neck support. Plus there's extra cushioning around where you place your face for more comfort. Maliton Inflatable Travel Pillow: was $20.99 now $16.49/£15.99 at AmazonThe Maliton inflatable comes in four color options including black, navy, dark grey and light grey. You can get it for $16.49/£15.99 now and it'll be delivered for free the following day with Amazon Prime. Yes the nap pillow should, in theory, provide a comfortable means of napping no matter where you are. But, in all honesty, I don't recommend it and won't be packing it when I travel this summer. Here's why... The Maliton pillow claims to inflate in 5 to 10 breaths. Even after getting myself out of puff countless times, it's still not fully inflated, which means it's not very supportive and deflates quickly. The premise behind the pillow is strong. I like the idea of keeping the neck and upper back in correct posture to help you find comfort and avoid aches and pains in compromised sleeping situations. However, the Maliton pillow needs a sturdier build to be effective. Even though it can be folded up into a pouch, at 4'x6"x9" when packaged it's still a fairly bulky addition to your hand luggage. Though, I will say it is more smaller than an always-inflated pillow. Pulling out and blowing up this pillow, which stands at 13'x13'x20' when inflated, is likely to draw a few stares in a space-limited cabin. For this reason and safety precautions, some airlines forbid pillows onboard. Plus, with the effort it took to blow up to a half-inflated state, I'd rather slip on a neck pillow and eye mask without drawing attention to myself or disrupting others on public transport. But what neck pillow do I recommend? The memory foam Napfun travel pillow (now $15.86 at Amazon). For peaceful sleep on board, I'd recommend shopping other sleep products. A reliable sleep mask or sleep headphones, which could be more useful for sleeping while travelling to block out light and noise pollution that's sure to disrupt your rest. I particularly like the SOMO Sleep Fitness Mask, a luxury soft sleep mask that uses acupressure to help you relax. It comes with a premium price tag ($59). But it can help you sleep while travelling, bag an afternoon nap at home, or sleep better night after night thanks to its durable design. Additionally, a pair of sleep headphones or earbuds can help you drown out a noisy cabin, which is key to getting shut-eye when travelling. These will also come in handy (much handier than a obnoxious inflatable pillow) if you're struggling to sleep next to a snoring partner.

25 Inexpensive Travel Products From Amazon That'll Make A Big Difference On Your Next Trip
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Because you deserve to be comfortable on a flight for once. 1. A molded sleep mask that will majorly come in handy if you're sensitive to light and find yourself needing to snooze on a plane (or anywhere, really). Best of all, it won't smoosh your little eyes, so you can stay comfy and hopefully fall asleep even faster. Promising review:"This eye mask is perfect if you like to have total darkness when you sleep. It is so comfortable around my face, and the mask even comes with adjustable straps so you don't wake up with sleep lines. Included are cute earplugs enclosed in their own case and a silk drawstring bag to carry your things in. To add, I was also impressed with how aesthetically pleasing the packaging was. I totally recommend." — Bill Curtis 2. A digital luggage scale to ensure your baggage is in compliance with your airline's weight restrictions, avoiding some nasty fees in the process. Bring it along with you if you want to make sure you're good to go on the way home, too! All those souvenirs add up. Promising review:"Used this twice for our vacations. Really easy to use and accurate, and it's digital. Our friends were so impressed they bought some too. You can change to kgs or lbs." — Maureen Flores 3. A handy packing list so it's easier than ever to keep straight exactly what needs to get thrown in a bag and what can stay behind. Your free-flowing to-do lists have been a good start, but this just may be the key to really dialing in your packing. Amazon Promising review:"I've been using packing lists for travel, camping, etc. for 40 years. That saves me from remembering to take my phone on a trip, but forgetting the charger or taking my camera and forgetting batteries. I compared this list to my own and found its got all my essentials on it, plus a few more things to think about. A great convenience when I can finally travel again." — Alaskaguy 4. An inflatable travel pillow for anyone FULLY committed to getting some ZZZs while en route via any mode of transportation. And if you fall asleep better while you're watching something, you can even tuck your phone inside and peek at it through the pillow's little window. 5. A travel wallet to keep all of your travel documents and cards in one handy place. No more checking every nook and cranny of your suitcase to make sure you have everything you need. Promising review:"This is a great wallet! Fits all cards/passports/money comfortably. You can use this alone or as a wallet (which I personally do). It's perfect for travel also." — Lisa Michelle 6. A portable steamer so you can still look sharp if you're headed out of town for a work trip, wedding, or other special event. Now when you pull your dress out of your suitcase and see how wrinkled it is, there's no stress. Promising review:"I bought this travel steamer for my wedding weekend. Usually, I just rely on an iron in a hotel when I travel, but for this trip, I was staying in a different country and in a private villa and wasn't sure if they'd have an iron available. This steamer heats up extremely quickly. I'd say about a minute and a half if I had to guess! It's powerful, and it doesn't spill or spit water on your clothes, which was my fear. It's very high quality. Obviously, keep it upright and don't turn it downwards, or you're gonna spill the water yourself, haha. It gets out wrinkles, but it doesn't give your clothes a perfect wrinkle-free look like pressing an iron would. You might have a couple of faded lines that remain, but it's not nearly as bad as the item would have looked without a steam. A significant improvement is made, no doubt! I love this, and I would definitely recommend it." — Talia 7. A travel duffel bag with a trolly sleeve to make it easy to carry along with a roller bag. Best of all it's small enough to count as a "personal item" on most planes, ensuring you have the perfect carry-on-only setup with as much room as possible. Promising review:"This bag is perfect for vacation or anything else. I was looking for a bag that was durable and the perfect size for my birthday trip. It has lots of pockets for storage, and one of the pockets is waterproof. So, if you have important things to store, like your passport, this bag has you covered. I have a lot of stuff in it, but I didn't stuff it too much bc I didn't want the strap digging in my shoulder… I did add a few accessories to it that I also found on Amazon. Don't hesitate to buy this bag it is definitely worth the money. 💕" — 8. A pair of quick-dry water shoes for anyone whose only hangup about heading out on a tropical getaway is being skeeved out by their feet touching the bottom of the ocean. A little separation will let you relax. Promising review:" Buy these, you will love them! I love to walk barefoot on the beach, but it isn't always the wisest decision. I read so many positive reviews and thought, why not? I got my first pair and fell in love with them. I don't have to wear my sandals and leave them at the bottom of the steps. I can walk on the pavement to the beach and across the parking lot. I loved them so much that I bought a pair for my husband, sister, friend and an extra pair for me. My husband was very skeptical, but he loved them, too. I would absolutely recommend these." — Lauren A. Eason 9. An in-flight phone mount so even if your seat isn't equipped with a screen, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a show (without trying in vain to awkwardly balance your phone on your tray table). 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 turned into a versatile stand that I could 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 Price: $12.97+ (available in seven colors and various two-packs) 10. A six-piece packing cube set to keep your items as compact and organized as possible. I used to be skeptical of packing cubes at first but can confirm they help even the most disorganized of travelers (me) maintain some semblance of order. Promising review:"Used these cubes about three times now. Currently packed for an upcoming trip in a week. Saves on space, and ladies, you can pack more clothes!!! Last trip to the Caribbean, I was able to get 13 outfits plus three bathing suits in one carry-on suitcase and still had room!!! I have always been skeptical about these until I tried them, and it's the only way to pack. So far, everything is still in one piece, and we have not had any issues with rips or broken zippers. Love them!!" — Aubrey M 11. A twistable memory foam pillow so you can get your head and neck in juuuuust the right spot to squeeze in a little nap on your next road trip, train ride, or flight. Promising review:"Most travel neck pillows make me feel completely overwhelmed, and this is especially great for those with shorter necks. It gives you control, and once you get the positioning that you prefer, it is really comfortable and provides the right support in the right places. Also, (and this was a selling point in the beginning,) having used this on several long-haul flights, I loved that after each trip, I could easily unzip the cover and throw it in the wash." — ltny 12. A luggage-mounted cup caddy because chances are your hands are gonna be full no matter where or how you're traveling. No need to forego the tasty bev with this handy dandy invention around. Promising review:"So handy. We travel all the time, and this is perfect for holding drinks while we are at the airport. Love it." — Bruce V. Hartley 13. And a waterproof pouch to allow you to keep your phone, cards, and even passport with you *while* you swim, thanks to its lanyard attachment. It also comes with a lanyard so you can wear it around your neck. Promising review:"This product is incredible. I purchased to use while in Key West for an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus, and Galaxy S6 Edge and it fits perfectly for each phone (but a little more snug with the iPhone 6 plus). It is completely waterproof and takes great photos and video through the case, but you have to press record prior to submerging the case underwater. My family went snorkeling and kept the case with the phone inside submerged almost the entire time and had no issues with leakage. My family and I got stopped numerous times being asked where we purchased this product. Perfect, even if you are just on the beach and you do not want to get sand or sunscreen on your phone and still want to take photos/text/browse the internet while on the beach. I will be purchasing this for everyone in my family as it has become a travel must-have! I highly recommend this product." — Amber Smith 14. A pair of SeaBands — it targets a pressure point on your wrist in order to help reduce nausea. According to reviewers they're worth trying whether you suffer car sickness, sea sickness, or any other travel tummy ailment. The band applies pressure on the P6 acupressure point, which is said to help relieve nausea and vomiting. Promising review:"I wished I tried this a long time ago. I used it on a 13-hour drive. Once at Disney World, I wore them for every ride, and it was the first time I did not get nauseous or sick. I was amazed. This is a must-have if you get car sick or can't ride rides at an amusement park." — Mimi145 15. A hanging toiletry bag you can put on the back of a door and roll down instead of spreading every single item out on a hotel counter. Honestly groundbreaking. Promising review:"Seriously?! Do you see how much this holds?! Full shampoo bottles, face washes, hair brush... everything I could need or want to bring, FITS IN THIS ONE BAG! And it's so cute! Feels like great quality, too — all the hardware came with protective wraps to keep from scratching, and the zippers feel very hardy. The hook at the top is also VERY WELL-SECURED to the bag, it's double stitched to the top panel and almost feels like seatbelt material. And I love the extra pockets and netting inside. I would absolutely recommend this!" — mahea_c 16. An anti-blister balm so your feet stay in tip-top shape even as you hop, skip, and jump all around the exciting city you're visiting for the first time. I use this stuff on my heels when backpacking and can confirm: it prevents blisters on my extremely blister-prone feet! Promising review:"This works great! I have trouble finding sandals that don't in some way rub me wrong, and this stuff has come to the rescue. I apply it liberally to my ankles and toes — anywhere that tends to rub and get irritated, and it makes a huge difference! I'm able to wear a pair of sandals all day and well into the night that I normally wouldn't be able to wear past lunchtime. It is a great product, and much more versatile than moleskin or bandaids since this is invisible! I must say, when I misplaced this tiny little stick one day, I used my regular, large-sized body stick instead, and that also worked great on my feet, so I'm not sure if this foot formula is really that special, but it's not expensive so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt!" — MEG327 Price: $8.99 17. A portable door lock to give you a little extra manual assurance that your door can't be opened when you're staying in hotels or new places. Doesn't hurt to be sure! Heads up that this may get flagged by TSA, so try to check it in your luggage if you're flying. Promising review:"This simple gadget, makes a big difference for safety. Highly recommended. I travel to many places for work and this is ideal." — Harvey 18. A simple luggage strap that'll give you another spot to clip travel essentials like neck pillows, packable jackets, zippered pouches or anything else you'd rather transport hands free. Amazon Promising review:"I love this little gadget. I used it to attach my jacket and computer bag to my luggage on an extended business trip. It made my airport walks so much easier. Now that I'm back home, I've been using it daily to attach my jacket or cardigan to my work bag or purse." — Michele 19. A pack of soft silicone earplugs to help you drown out the late-night yammering at a hostel or strange new noises while you're staying at a hotel. Either way, night-night! You're gonna be sleeping sound. Promising review:"These are the very best earplugs. Would not be without them. Because they are silicone, they fit well over the ear canal, stay in place, and make a huge difference in noise reduction. I take them everywhere as I'm a light sleeper. Tried MANY brands and these are by far the best. Excellent product." — Mareo Check out our full review of Mack's earplugs for more details. 20. A 12-pack of face masks so you can keep your face hydrated before, during, and after your flight. Your skincare routine is so dialed in — it would be a shame for the drying air in an airplane to throw it out of whack. Promising review:"Great value! Definitely a repurchase buy~. Plus you know when all the essence is FULLY absorbed because the layered sheet mask dries quickly allowing your face to be flooded with the serum which is quite different to the sticky gummy conventional ones e.g. rubbery ones I have used in the past." — song Price: $13.20 21. A compact jewelry travel case to keep your most precious cargo neat, organized, and — most importantly — untangled. Promising review:"This would be the perfect stocking stuffer!! I love mine and it held everything I needed. The dividers come out and can be a larger section if needed." — Rachel S 22. A rechargeable handheld fan aka a no-brainer for trips to hot locations and also for days spent at amusement parks. A Mickey-shaped ice cream bar will taste even better with a handheld breeze blowing on your face. Promising review:"I have ZERO complaints!!! My sister got married outdoors and I decided I needed a fan as I sweat a lot. Suffice to say I LOVE IT! I was cool the entire time in the sun, it has a handle and is not too big which makes it easy to tag along any- and everywhere. You won't regret this purchase." — DIONNE HOOK 23. A pair of joggers to help you stay as comfortable as possible during long travel days. Imagine spending all day in a plane or car in anything less than the softest fabric. Couldn't be you. Promising review:"I only write reviews when something really blows me wow. These joggers are SO soft and comfy especially for the price! If you told me these were Lululemon I would believe you. I'm obsessed with these, I got two pairs! They are extremely stretchy material and the waistband stretches a lot but isn't too big. For reference I'm 5'7' and 150lbs. I normally wear a medium and sometimes large depending on how I want things to fit. I got a large with these because I wanted them to be a bit baggier versus skin tight. If you want them a little looser size up. 12/10 recommend!!!" — Amazon Customer 24. A portable charger because in this day and age, traveling and having your phone die on you can be a genuine safety concern. That's your credit card, ride home, ticket, map, I've been rocking this Anker for years, and it's still going strong. 25. A universal travel adapter so you're never faced with an outlet you can't use when traveling internationally — a horrifying fact every traveler encounters at least once and vows "never again." Promising review:"I am a digital nomad so I travel full-time around the world. I have a lot of devices to charge (laptop, Kindle, phone, backup battery, portable Wi-Fi device, camera, the list goes on). A lot of times hostel bunks or hotel rooms only have one outlet and with the previous adapter I was using, I had to charge one device at a time. I used to literally set my alarm to wake up in the middle of the night and switch devices so that I could get more than one device fully charged overnight. I did my research finally and settled on this one because it is universal and has four USB ports. What a GAME-CHANGER. On my latest trip I was able to charge all my devices at once and it made traveling so much smoother. It seems well made and good quality, too. Definitely recommend for my digital nomad and traveling peers. Happy travels! :)" — Maggie A Price: $18.99+ (available in three colors) The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.
