Inflatable foot cushion
The first item in the set of must-haves is such a useful thing as an inflatable foot cushion. Use it for air travel. It is placed under the feet, but not for softness, and then, in order to extend the seat in a peculiar way, transforming it into a general plane like a bed.
Especially relevant is the use during travel with children, which in this case it turns out to be normally laid, giving the opportunity to stretch your legs and not bend the letter "zyu". Similarly, it can be applied by small adults.
It can also be useful in a car or on the railway, and the mind is attentive and flexible, pragmatic is able to come up with many other uses for it - instead of an ottoman or a bedside table in a hotel, a bedside table or god knows what else. Placed on the floor in the second row of the car's interior, the pillows are damn useful for organizing sleeping space there without having to fold the front seats.

Luggage lock
Not every suitcase, bag or backpack is equipped with a locking mechanism, and if this is your case, it is best to purchase a special small hinged lock with a key or code in advance.
The mechanism of its application is simple: the arch is shoved through a hole in the bullet or keychain of the dog and snapped.
Some are made of steel, others are polymeric, there are options in the form of a cable, but everything is united by a relatively high strength, sufficient to protect property from criminal encroachments of any kind, because it will be possible to get access inside only by breaking the mechanism, which is not easy to do with your hands without a tool.

Baggage belt
Zippers on bags break, disperse for one reason or another - if the suitcase fell to the floor, it was mistreated or due to natural wear - there are many reasons. When receiving luggage, it often happens that a pile of rag belonging to you is first thrown onto the conveyor belt, and then a barbarically unraveled suitcase.
To combat such excesses, it is customary to tightly wrap suitcases with a film in hundreds of layers or dress them in a cover. There is a more elegant solution - belts. Such a belt is shoved through the handles of your bag, tightened with a special mechanism called fastex - and fixed, tightening.
Some versions are equipped with a combination lock, which combines safety and ease of use. If necessary, the strap can be used as an additional holder - so that at a critical moment you do not find yourself the owner of a suitcase without a handle.

Travel bottle
A travel bottle is a manifestation of a sensible compromise between the desire to provide yourself with as many cosmetics, conditioners and shampoos, balms and masks as possible on a trip - and the lack of the opportunity to carry a huge container with you. Plus, recently in airplanes you can not take large bottles of liquid substances, and in a miniature tube or bottle you can pour as much as you need.
Unlike regular options, they are not made of glass or brittle plastic. They are equipped with reliable and tightly worn lids or compact sprayers, take up a minimum of space in your suitcase or travel kit.
It is believed that these things are needed only by the fairer sex, but this is not so - men also use them very actively, only the amount of containers they have is noticeably less. It is also important to note the low cost, accessibility and simplicity: if necessary, such a bottle can be thrown away in order to attach shopping fruits or souvenirs in its place.

Earplugs for sleep
There are no irreplaceable people, and among the things are these miniature plugs that save from chattering neighbors in the compartment, roaring children, sociable ladies of age and a dozen other smaller troubles. In the hotel, if the roommates or even behind the wall are in no hurry to go to bed, this is also the first assistant - much better than cotton wool in the ears or a pillow on the head.
New models are carried out on the basis of numerous scientific and medical research, the latest technologies. Usually they are made of silicone, but cheap models can be made of rubber, and expensive - from a plastic mass that acquires the shape of an external ear, which allows you to achieve almost one hundred percent cut-off of toxic sounds.
Sleep, by the way, is not the only reason for using earpluns. For example, a trip to the river or to the pools can thus be made less risky in terms of ear diseases. Only it is necessary to apply in such cases it is the option of silicone as a material that does not let water inside and does not soak it.
