Holiday Travel

Compression Socks

Compression socks are one of those things you don’t think you need until you try them—and then suddenly you can’t travel without them. Bombas makes the softest, least clinical-looking version, and they hug your calves just enough to fight swelling without feeling tight or itchy. They’re especially clutch on red-eyes or long-haul drives when your circulation takes a hit.

AirTags (4-Pack)

Drop one of these into your checked bag and you’ll know exactly where it is even when the airline doesn’t. They update in real time, so if your suitcase ends up in Cleveland while you’re in Miami, you’ll see it instantly. They’re also great for carry-ons and wallets if you’re the type who loses everything the moment you enter an airport.

QuietComfort Noise-Canceling Headphones

There are two kinds of travelers: those who use noise-canceling headphones and those who suffer needlessly. These turn a stressful flight into something almost peaceful—which is the closest thing to a holiday miracle. The audio quality is amazing, and they’re comfortable enough to wear for hours without ear fatigue.

Travel Steamer

Nothing ruins a holiday outfit faster than creases from being smushed in a suitcase, which is why a compact steamer is essential. The Nori is easy to travel with, heats up quickly, and is shockingly powerful for its size. We found that it’s great for delicate fabrics that hotel irons would destroy.

Everyday Suburban Mug

Our favorite tumbler keeps drinks cold or hot for hours (we especially love this limited-edition holiday design)—ideal when you’re stuck on a runway or sitting in bumper-to-bumper holiday traffic. The leakproof lid means you can toss it into your bag without worrying about spills, and it encourages you to drink actual water instead of surviving on airport lattes and vibes.

Travel-Size Healing Ointment

Cabin air is a menace for skin, and Aquaphor is the simplest way to prevent travel-induced dryness. It works as a lip balm, cuticle balm, under-eye moisturizer, and emergency anti-chafe product. One of those unglamorous essentials that you’ll always be glad you packed.

Mini Lip Sleeping Mask

This tiny tub is a hydration powerhouse. A little goes a long way, and it’s richer than a typical balm, so it actually repairs instead of just masking dryness. Plus, the mini size is TSA-friendly and takes up no space—ideal for makeup bags that are already overflowing.

Luka Belt Bag

A belt bag is the ultimate travel fashion hack, and CALPAK’s version strikes the perfect balance between chic and comfortable. The fabric is soft but durable, so it’s comfy for long wear. It's the best way to free up your hands for coffee, boarding passes, and survival-mode multitasking.

Portable Charger

Airport outlets are either nonexistent, broken, or perpetually taken, so a portable charger is the closest thing to insurance you can buy. Anker’s version is small but powerful enough to revive a nearly dead phone multiple times. It charges fast, which is crucial if you’re hopping between flights with short layovers.

Silk Sleep Mask

If you can’t sleep on planes, a good sleep mask helps more than you’d think. Slip’s silk version blocks out harsh cabin lights and feels super soft, not scratchy or tight. Trust, you'll be able to relax a little easier even in a cramped middle seat.

Travel-Size 24-7 Moisture Cream

This mini moisturizer is one of the most reliable travel creams for keeping your face from turning into sandpaper by the time you land. It feels rich without being heavy and brings even the driest post-plane skin back to life.

Compression Packing Cubes for Travel

If you’ve ever torn apart your suitcase looking for something, packing cubes will change your life. Bethenny loves this ZON set because it’s super lightweight but surprisingly roomy (and you can't beat the under-$50 price tag.)

Sonicare Battery Toothbrush

An affordable electric toothbrush from our holiday gift guide that travels easily and doesn’t clutter the bathroom with cords. Despite the low price tag, it cleans better than most battery models we’ve tried.

Adult Cozy Soft Microfiber Neck Pillow

Bethenny swears by this neck pillow for travel—the microfiber feels softer and plusher than your standard neck pillow, a difference you can definitely feel when you wake up in a cramped middle seat post-nap.

Needles No More, No More Baggage

This formula tightens, depuffs, and brightens undereyes within minutes—so fast that it’s become one of Bethenny’s long-time on-camera favorites. The miracle gel creates a smooth canvas for concealer, even after a full day of airport chaos.

Carry-On Suitcase

Bethenny is obsessed with this chic suitcase—it comes with a built-in tracking device that eliminates the stress of lost luggage during peak holiday travel. The wheels are incredibly smooth, the shell is durable, and the interior is organized in a way that makes packing feel oddly satisfying.
