Stop — You’re Not Done Packing Your Suitcase Without These 30 Travel Products

*Notices you didn't pack soap sheets* *Bombastic side eye* An Apple AirTag, an app that tracks the movements of your luggage, has been recommended by BuzzFeed's Elizabeth Lilly for travelers to keep track of their belongings from their phones. The AirTag was purchased during Black Friday sales and helped her track FedEx's delivery of her suitcase from Frankfurt to her parents' house in New Jersey. The app also tracked FedEx's FedEx delivery of the suitcase to her home in Germany, and was spotted on a highway less than an hour's drive from her parents’ house. The product is available from Amazon for $29 and four packs for $89.99.

An Apple AirTag so you can keep track of your belongings right from your phone! Fingers crossed you don't arrive at your destination *without* your luggage, but *if* you do, you'll have peace of mind knowing you can open your phone and see exactly where your baggage is. BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly raves about them. In her own words: "Storytime: After traveling last summer carry-on-only, and being a person who tries to carry on whenever possible, I finally bought a couple of Apple AirTags during Black Friday sales. And I am SO grateful I did. My normal carry-on bag was too big to fit the Lufthansa luggage requirements (and BOY, do they check that!), so I had to check my bags for a December 2022 trip to Vienna and back from Prague (with a layover in Frankfurt). My bag didn't make it onto the plane in Frankfurt, and once I landed in Newark, New Jersey, I pulled up the app on my phone and saw that yes, my backpack AirTag was indeed with me, but my suitcase AirTag was still in Germany. (The screengrab is from an Amazon review, but you get the gist.) The AirTag also helped me track FedEx's delivery of the suitcase to my parents' house, where I was spending the holidays immediately after my Europe trip ended. I was even able to see it on a highway less than an hour's drive from my parents' house. TL;DR: I think AirTags are very much a worthwhile investment if you travel a few times a year. And I'm not the only one who thinks so." Get it from Amazon for $29 (also available in a four-pack for $89.99).
