Memorial Day travel deals are ready to take off: Save up to 50% on flight crew-approved luggage, packing cubes and more.

There are few things worse and more distressing than seeing that your phone has 2% battery life when you’re at the airport or already on the plane. The best way to ensure you’ll never run out of juice is to invest in a portable charger, and this affordable choice has over 78,000 perfect ratings on Amazon (including several from flight crew members). For reference, it charges an iPhone 8 up to 3.6 times on a single charge, so you won’t have to recharge it after every use.

“As a flight attendant, I use it almost every day!” » exclaimed one five-star reviewer. “This is the best portable charger I’ve had! I never write reviews, but this one definitely deserves six stars.”

It’s normal to travel with a bunch of tech – from your laptop and phone to your portable charger and tablet – but that means there are a lot of cables to store and organize. Flight attendants and frequent travelers say this double-layer electronics accessory organizer has room for everything and even has a designated slot for an iPad.

“I’m a flight attendant and I love this organizer!” a professional wrote. “I keep my iPad, passport, lanyards, paperwork, and hand sanitizer here. It keeps me organized!”

Sometimes a suitcase is just too big and a weekend or overnight bag is just what you need. This canvas pick with genuine leather details is half price on Amazon and is light enough to sling over your shoulder without too much strain. And if organization is a top priority for you, you’ll be happy to know that this bag has seven pockets, two pen holders, a canvas lining, and smooth zippers, so all your stuff stays organized and easy to access.

Still on the fence? Take it from this Amazon fan who bought this bag for her pilot boyfriend. She may have even become girlfriend of the year because of it.

“I bought this for my boyfriend who is a pilot and travels a lot,” the five-star reviewer wrote. “He loves it. So much so that he bought his dad one for his birthday too. Great quality, great looks and great price.”

This hanging toiletry bag strikes the balance between being spacious and compact and has many convenient features that seasoned travelers love.

In addition to the six built-in pockets and multiple slots, it comes with a clear, detachable makeup bag that’s also TSA approved, making passing through the security line much more convenient.

Several flight attendants praise this well-designed bag for making traveling with toiletries simple. “I’m a flight attendant and that has it all!!!” » wrote the five-star reviewer. “I love it! The zippers close easily and it is well thought out to meet all your needs. I can’t say enough about it.”

Sleeping on a plane is often even more uncomfortable than it seems. Investing in a travel pillow that makes falling (and staying) asleep a little easier is a tip that flight crew members swear by.

One flight attendant said he used this pillow when returning home after working grueling international red-eyes. He says it makes relaxing in friendly skies much easier. “It allows me to sleep and not wake up with a total neck ache,” the crew member exclaimed.

Traveling is stressful enough, so when you get on a plane and there’s no entertainment on board, it’s really disappointing. This phone holder allows you to prop up your device so you can watch your favorite shows or movies, hands-free, at eye level during a flight. It attaches easily to your luggage handle, making it a simple, space-saving addition. Flight crew members love it so much that they use it for traveling and then continue to use it once they return home. Who are we to judge if you find this gadget so useful that you use it daily?

“As a flight attendant, (this) comes in very handy!” said one reviewer. “At home, I like it sitting on the counter.”

You know what’s fun? Jetsetting to an exotic destination. You know what’s not fun? When your luggage decides to take its own journey. A Bluetooth tracker is essential for knowing if your luggage found its way to the lost and found, or if it took a trip to the Maldives instead of Mexico. Apple AirTags offer an audible alert feature as well as precise real-time tracking that even flight crew members appreciate.

“I put one in my flight attendant bag every time I have to check it in,” the reviewer wrote. “I put one on my dog ​​and the other on my keys. They were very easy to install and I was very impressed and surprised.”

Not an iPhone user? No problem, we’ve rounded up the best Bluetooth trackers on the market.

Packing cubes are a must-have for the savvy traveler. They keep your items organized and easy to find, both in and out of your bag. And, if you’re packing for a long trip or are a chronic over-packer, compression cubes can help you fit in those extra essential items you can’t live without.

This six-piece set stores everything from sweaters to shoes to underwear and can save you up to 30% more space. The mesh top allows air circulation and lets you easily see what’s inside, while the durable nylon bottom allows the cubes to easily slide in and out of your bag, whatever or its density.

“I’m a flight attendant and these are my favorite cubes,” one crew member wrote. “These expand and make packing easier. Plus, aesthetically, (they) look great.”

Travelpro is still a favorite brand among travel teams, thanks to its 360° swivel wheels and lightweight yet ultra-strong construction. These expandable bags are known for their durability, making them a favorite choice among pilots and flight attendants.

A flight attendant who owns the older version of this suitcase said it is the most durable one she owns. “It lasted me six years,” she wrote. “Keep in mind (that) I travel around the world, so this was very helpful to me.”

Monos is my favorite luggage brand, and it’s reassuring to know that the pros love it too. From my personal experience, they are some of the strongest, most scratch-resistant and lightest luggage I have used so far, especially when it comes to the carry-on range. The original carry-on is on sale (in select colors) and even flight crew members say it’s worth the investment.

“I’m a flight attendant,” one reviewer wrote. “This bag is awesome! Rolls really well and looks great!

Several travelers also said that flight attendants often stop them to ask where they got their carry-on bags — it’s that good.
