New Travel Hacks

Airfly Wireless Transmitter

If you’ve got a long flight to the Orlando International Airport, you’ll probably want to watch a movie to pass the time. But the airplane TV screens only have AUX inputs — no Bluetooth capability here. That’s where Airfly’s Wireless Transmitter comes in!

This handy device plugs into the AUX input and then connects to your Bluetooth-compatible earphones! No need to break out your old wire headphones for your next flight.

You can get one on Amazon for $54.99.

Airplane Phone Mount

If your plane doesn’t have built-in screens (most planes used for shorter flights don’t), then you can provide your own with a phone mount. This mount can attach to the fold-down trays and securely hold your phone while you enjoy your show.

You can find one on Amazon for $12.97.

Suitcase Scooter for Kids

Traveling with kids can be extra challenging, especially if you’ve got several little ones in the group! Maybe a scooter suitcase will make it a little easier to get them moving and keep them happy at the same time.

You can get one on Amazon for $149.99, and it comes in a variety of colors and designs.

Portable Luggage Scale

We understand the struggle of trying to keep your luggage under the required weight for your airline. Does anyone else still try to use a bathroom scale to weigh suitcases before heading out to the airport? That works fine on your way TO the parks, but once you’ve loaded in a few souvenirs, you might need to re-weigh. That’s when this portable luggage scale might come in handy.

You can get one for just $11 on Amazon.

Luggage Coffee Caddy

A cup of coffee is mandatory for flights to Disney World. You’ve got to caffeine-load before hitting the parks, after all! To keep your hands free without spilling your cup of joe, check out the luggage coffee caddy, which has 2 pockets to hold coffee cups or anything else you might need to store.

It attaches to the handle of your suitcase with strong velcro straps. You can get one on Amazon for $15.99.

Lightweight Carryon Backpack

If you can manage to fit everything you need for your Disney trip into a carryon, first of all — HOW? But props to you, because you won’t have to wait around at baggage claim to get your suitcases! Some members of our team have recommended the Vancropack backpack, which can function as both a backpack and a large carryon.

This pack expands outward to fit more items, or it can be contracted to a smaller size. It measures 20 inches by 14 inches, which means it’ll qualify as a carryon and not need to be checked.

You can find it on Amazon now for $59.99.

Leak-Proof Travel Bottles

To make sure you’re not met with a mess of spilled liquids when you open your suitcase, you might need some leak-proof silicone bottles. Fill them up with any moisturizer, cleanser, or other liquids you’ll need, and shut the lids tight. (We’d put ours in a plastic bag too, though, just in case.)

You can get a 4-pack of 2 oz. bottles for $9.49 on Amazon.
