Eye Mask
Eye masks can be a great choice for mankind to travel more effortlessly for a few different reasons. The first is that they can help you sleep or rest anywhere, even if it’s bright or busy, like on a plane. Eye masks can also provide the added comfort of being able to block out sensory input, which can help you to stay calm and not overstimulated during your journey.

Waterproof Bags for Toiletries

Although you will need to make sure that it seals completely and there is no gap left around when the zip ends. For this purpose, reusable ziplock bags are often best, and as they come in all sorts of sizes, you can easily separate out different types of toiletries, making unpacking super simple once you have reached your destination.
Travel Adapter
It’s hard for any trip to be effortless if you cannot charge your devices on the journey or once you have arrived. That is why it’s crucial that you make sure you pack travel adapters.

Entertainment
One of the best ways to make sure your journeys feel quicker and more effortless is to pack entertainment in your carry-on luggage. Then they will be with you when you need them most. Of course, the type of entertainment you pack will depend on what you like, but paper books, or e-readers, tablets and laptops, which you can use to watch TV, Films or listen to music are all good choices. Just be sure to keep them charged up, as many countries will ask you to turn them on at the customer to check they are a real device.
Headphones
Headphones are also a great choice because they block out the noise of everyone else on your plane, train or coach and can make it so much less stressful when you are traveling. Not to mention that you can also use them to listen to music, audio books and podcasts that you have downloaded beforehand.
If it’s comfort that you are looking for, then choosing over-ear headphones with generous pads is a good choice. Although, for packability in in-ear headphones are great. You can even get in-ear headphones that are flat on the outside now, which means they are perfect for sleeping in.
Foot Rest
Last of all, if you truly wish to make your next trip effortless, then why not invest in a packable aeroplane footrest? Yes, that’s right, you can buy a device that allows you to comfortably put your feet up when you are flying, providing you with better circulation, and ensuring you feel well rested and ready to enjoy your trip, as soon as you walk off the plane.
