Travel Without the Tangle With These Tech Accessory Travel Organizers

Featuring gear picks both large and small, expensive and affordable, we prove there’s a much better way to get organized as you hit the road or tackle your morning commute.

Crash Baggage Pre-Damaged Luggage Wants Travelers to Handle Without Care
crash baggage pre damaged luggage 1

On the all-too-frequent occasion that our luggage is damaged in transit, most of us are quick to curse the airlines. But, there’s something to be said for embracing all those dents, dings, and scratches. Like old scars and war wounds, they’re usually signs of a life and a travel resume rich with experience. Of course, if you haven’t yet ventured as far as you’d like, your luggage might look a bit too fresh. Enter: Crash Baggage.

With the tagline, “handle without care,” Crash Baggage encourages travelers to embrace the inevitable destruction of their luggage. The Italian brand’s entire collection is delivered “pre-damaged” with the sort of wear that typically only comes with years on the road. Every bag is molded from lightweight polycarbonate that’s purposely designed to look dented, crushed, and thoroughly well-worn. It seems like a strange concept. But, considering many of us are happy to pay a premium for pre-worn items like ripped jeans, tattered baseball caps, and vintage books, maybe it’s not that strange.

Why Carbon Offset Should Be Your Essential Travel Accessory for 2020
Traveler watching planes from an airport window.

Accessories are an essential and much-loved part of the modern air travel experience. From neck pillows to tangle-free headphones to TSA-friendly skincare products, every year we’re bombarded with endless articles and listicles for the “Top Travel Accessories” or “20 Essential Accessories Every Traveler Must Have,” which we all dutifully buy and add to our ensemble. While most of these items are nice enough and in small ways can make flights more comfortable and endurable, the true value of travel accessories is in what they imply about the people who buy and use them. They mark their owner as a jet-setter; someone who’s worldly, sophisticated, and trendy. Someone with discerning taste and cash to spare. In short, a person most people aspire to be. 

But, with more and more people traveling every year (globally, 4.3 billion people flew in 2018), yearly flight carbon dioxide emissions topping 860 million metric tons (accounting for about 2% of total greenhouse gas emissions around the globe), and the increasing (and justified) pressure to either curb our flying habits or find some way to make them more sustainable, carbon offsets have emerged as one of the easiest solutions to immediately reducing your personal carbon footprint.

Delta’s $850 CarePod Is a GPS-Enabled Travel Carrier for Your Furry Friend
connor the puggle

As horrific as modern air travel might seem for us humans, pets often fare far worse in the skies. Dogs and cats carried onboard suffer the same turbulence, incessant engine noise, and surly fellow passengers as we do, except that we can’t explain to them logically that it’s all going to be OK. Animals traveling in the cargo hold experience all of the above, plus it’s often dark, cold, and lonely to boot. Now Delta is upping its travel game for our furry friends with a high-tech pet carrier unlike any other.

CarePod is a new $850 carrier that guarantees the best possible travel experience for checked pets. Industrial-grade walls provide insulation against the harsh climate changes pets often experience in flight. Built-in “blinds” are specially angled to block out unfamiliar outside stressors. All of the materials are human-grade and guaranteed non-toxic to animals, while a special antibacterial UV coating provides additional durability and sanitary protection. There’s even a spill-proof, liter-sized water dish that automatically refills to ensure every animal has constant access to fresh water. The best feature, however, is that each pod is GPS-enabled to connect to Delta’s Cargo Control Center. Trained, dedicated experts monitor every pet’s journey 24/7, and owners can track their pet’s progress via smartphone in real-time.
