This is my favorite cable to pack when I travel, because I always have every charger I need on hand. While most of my tech uses USB-C charging, my iPhone 14 Pro still uses a Lightning cable. This keeps me from forgetting to pack one over the other or needing to keep two in my carry-on.

Spring or summer travels upcoming soon? This gadget turns your wireless earbuds into the perfect pair for in-flight entertainment. Call it a carry-on essential if you're a frequent flyer. While our expert Jada Jones reviewed the more advanced Pro 2 model, this cheaper AirFly SE is a great alternative. 

"If you'll likely use this product often, I recommend spending the $60 for a reliable and high-quality product. However, if you want a cheaper option, Twelve South offers the AirFly SE, but it doesn't have aux-in compatibility or dual headphone connectivity," Jones says.

Anker's newest 45W smart display charger is on sale again for 30% off, and it's a deal we haven't seen since the block launched a few weeks ago. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes and I both love this tiny gadget for charging our devices, and it can even activate charging modes designed to help extend battery lifespan. This is the charger I've been packing for weekend getaways and more.

While this gadget isn't on sale, I don't recommend skipping Apple's version of this accessory. If you don't want to wait for your vacation pictures to be uploaded from a traditional camera, this USB-C (or lightning) accessory plugs into your phone and uploads them to your camera roll immediately. Perfect for documenting all your travels and getting your pictures to your group chats or social media fast.

If you need a travel charger with more power, look to Momax. Expert Adrian Kingsley-Hughes says the 205W Momax GaN travel charger is perfect for jet-setters with more power needs. 

"I took the Momox 205W 9-in-1 universal travel adapter with me on a quick trip to Spain after some extensive testing in my home country, and it performed flawlessly. No matter whether I had earbuds connected to it, or a bunch of big things like laptops and drones," Kingsley-Hughes says.
