DItch the overpriced water and plastic bottles.
We hate paying for overpriced water at the airport. Instead, we bring along the practical (and gorgeous) stainless steel Corkcicle Classic bottle and use a free fill station in the terminal. With a 16 oz capacity and the capability to keep drinks ice cold for up to 25 hours, they have you covered on even the longest travel days.

Take a (fashionable) mid-flight nap.
Who knew it was possible to comfortably rest on a plane and look cute at the same time? We love the Trtl Pillow, a travel pillow that looks like a scarf but provides all the support you need for a restful sleep.

Find your Zen at 39,000 feet.
We love the ZenBand, a soft and stylish lavender-infused headband that helps us travel more comfortably. The removable, flat, lightweight speakers and the perfect headphones for napping or relaxing on a plane, and the band can also be pulled down and used as an eye-mask to keep out light.

Bluetooth over-ear headphones for under $50? Yes please. Altec Lansing’s Evolution 2 headphones deliver great sound, comfortable padding and 12 hours of battery life.
