7 luxury travel accessories to cop if you are always on the move

Whoever said the journey is as important as the destination was definitely not flying from one place to the next. From last-minute packing stress, long security checks, to in-flight temperatures that make you believe you’re in Narnia, travelling is not always comfortable. But things like a do-it-all pouch or noise-cancelling headphones certainly help. We at Bazaar India track down the seven best luxury accessories that take the pain out of travel.

Travel cup

The frigid temperature of flights and the horror of using public bathrooms mean we end up having way less water than we are supposed to while travelling, which leads to splitting headaches, dull skin, and nausea. The secret to getting yourself to drink more water? Simple. Take a snazzy travel cup along that you won’t want to put down. Versace’s embellished version fits the bill perfectly–staying hydrated never looked this cool.

Noise-cancelling headphones

Crying babies? Chatty, loud, and annoying co-passengers? Flights can be an ordeal in more ways than one, but noise-cancelling headphones come in handy. Relax with a pair that helps you adjust how much of the ambient noise you let in, so you don’t miss an important announcement, or a question from the crew. Bose’s headphones are kitted with 'conversation mode', so you can tune in and tune out whenever you want.

Carry-on trolley

No list would be complete without a dependable carry-on trolley that everyone from light packers to over-packers can make the best of. Carry-on luggage should ideally be a sturdy case that is small enough to pass flight size limits but big enough to fit all your essentials. The silver aluminum alloy number from Tumi is a good option–it features a nifty USB port for last-minute charging and a built-in garment sleeve so your fits remain wrinkle-free.

Multi-purpose case

Travel pouches are a godsend for frequent fliers–they help keep your toiletries, cosmetics, and everything else that has a tendency to get lost in one secure (and stylish) place. Our tip is to keep one always packed and ready with your go-to essentials, so you can save up on time the next time you’re travelling. The cosmetic pouch from Jimmy Choo looks elegant with its black leather and suede finish, and the JC monogram all over adds just the right amount of glam.

Luggage tag

The worst travel nightmare–your luggage getting lost or misplaced. It’s important to fortify your belongings with a chic luggage tag that stands out so you don’t end up at your destination without your precious cargo in tow. Lucrin Geneva crafts leather accessories that look incredibly smart, and we have our eyes on their luxury tags that come in a variety of fun colours and are customized with your name, so you will have no trouble spotting your luggage from afar.

Hand cream 

Constantly washing hands, using sanitiser every few minutes, and the dry environment of flights can do a number on your hands. Make sure they remain soft and supple with a trusty hand cream. The one by Chanel is perfect for travelling–the luxurious cream is nestled inside a unique egg-shaped structure so you can slip it into your tote without fear of spilling.

Jacket or cardigan

The brutal air conditioning on flights can send chills down even the most cold-resistant traveller, so it’s best to bundle up with a light cardigan or cosy jacket, depending on your tolerance. As with all travel clothes, your winter wear needs to be both lightweight and comfy, and bonus points if it’s ultra-stylish too. This Armani sweater ticks all the three boxes, with its monochromatic colour-blocking and soft feel.
