"There's an art to packing a carry-on bag: everything has to be accessible, organized, and serve a purpose. As a carry-on-only traveler, I'm big on packing my personal bag with intention and keeping my luggage as streamlined as possible; as such, there are a few tried-and-true products I always pack. Luckily, Amazon's stacked travel deals section always gives me a great excuse to stock up on those travel essentials that make all the difference."

"Whether you're planning a multi-leg summer trip or just looking to make your next flight feel a little more seamless, these products are tried-and-true favorites that I've personally packed, tested, and relied on over the years. Think: the luggage scale that lets me avoid baggage fees, the noise-canceling headphones I always keep in my belt bag, and the comfortable sneakers I've worn straight off the plane into a full day of exploring."
