As we look forward to a brand-new year of travel, it's time to check out the best travel accessories for women in 2024. We're fans of simplicity, organization, and relaxation, and we've chosen accessories that match. From FTLO Gift Cards to packing favorites, these are the essentials we just can't travel without.
With a mix of tried-and-true classic staples and modern favorites, our 2024 list has been curated by the gals at FTLO.
AirPods Pro
It’s time to say night-night to all the crying babies aboard the plane to paradise and to do it in style. With Apple’s noise-cancelling AirPods Pro, flying has never been better. While some may be fans of larger Bose-style headphones, we love these sleek earbuds.
They weigh next to nothing, you can hide them beneath your hair, and they come in a convenient (still lightweight) carrying case.
Monos Carry-On
When we’re flying, we like to do it in style with luggage that can survive some bumps and bruises along the way. Since we aim to carry on whenever we can, we need a carry-on bag that’s up to the task. Fortunately for us, Monos has been rolling out (there’s a joke in there) some tough, stylish bags for quite a while now.
With smooth, quiet wheels and attractive designs, these are our favorite pieces to toss in an overhead while we hit cruising altitude.
Travelrest Nest Travel Pillow
So those blabbering babies are shut out of our lives with our handy noise-cancelling headphones, but these seats seem more uncomfortable than ever. Oh, the joys of flying. We’ll, luckily for our fellow travelers out there, there’s an easy fix to remedy these oh-so-achingly painful flights.
Hello, travel pillow, goodbye back, neck, and upper-body pain. You’ve probably seen these before, perhaps even scoffed at them. We’re here to tell you it’s time to join the party. Grab a memory foam Travelrest Nest pillow and hit the hay. With a convenient carrying case and soft polyester fabric to lull you to sleep, these are a must-buy.
Gonex Compression Packing Cubes
When it comes to packing up the Monos carry-on, some of us are divided on the technique. We’ve got lovers of the fold and passionate followers of the roll; however, what binds us all, is an obsession with putting those folded or rolled clothes in packing cubes.
Gonex has a fantastic selection of lightweight, durable cubes in various sizes that do the trick for us. Keeping our things organized has never been easier.
Kindle Paperwhite
While we’re big fans of getting out there and adventuring, we also love to kick back and unwind with a book by the pool, beach, or fire. And though we love the feel of having books in our hands, they’re just too cumbersome to travel with.
So, we’ve ditched one book and traded up for a few thousand all in one place. Not bad, eh? With the Kindle Paperwhite, we can travel anywhere with our favorite reads. The best part? How about a battery that can last six (!) weeks.
EPICKA Universal Travel Adapter
This one’s easy to overlook and uber-important. From your laptop to your phone, kindle, or headphones, you’ll need some juice wherever you go. Unfortunately for you, more often than not, that American charger’s not going to cut it.
There’s nothing worse than getting to paradise only to realize you can charge what you need. So, plan ahead and grab a universal charger. These adapters work anywhere in the world and even have USB inputs. We’ve found the EPICKA, which is one single piece, to be the most convenient one out there.
Aesop Deodorant
We’re on the move often, and that means, from time to time, we get a bit sweaty. Well, forget those worries, ladies; we’ve got the ultimate deodorant for you.
Aesop’s spray helps us feel fresh wherever we go. At 1.7 ounces, it’s small enough to fly with so that we can make sure we’re feeling like our best selves all over the world.
The Croatia Trip
If the ladies in your life have all the accessories they need to see the world, then give them the greatest gift of all and send them traveling.
FTLO's Croatia trip is the ultimate adventure for any worldly woman. Travelers will spend their days overlooking the sparkling, sapphire waters of the Adriatic sea with rosé in hand and their evenings strolling through the charming centuries-old neighborhoods that make up this popular European destination.
FTLO Gift Cards
For the ladies in your life, who don't quite know their next destination, give them the whole world. FTLO’s small group trips run throughout the year and head to the some of the greatest cities, seas, and parks on Earth.
Give $100, $199, $250, $500 or a custom amount of your choice in FTLO gift cards to the traveler in your life who just can’t kick that wanderlust (no judgment, we can’t either!).
