10 Must-Have Travel Accessories for Business Travelers and Frequent Flyers in 2025
Business travel in 2025 is faster, more connected—and often more stressful. Whether you’re hopping across time zones for meetings or squeezing in work during layovers, the right travel accessories can make all the difference. From productivity tools to comfort essentials, here are ten game-changing accessories every frequent flyer and business traveler should pack.
1. Smart Carry-On Luggage
Today’s smart suitcases do more than just roll. Look for carry-ons with built-in USB ports, weight sensors, and GPS tracking. These features keep your gear powered and your bag secure—no more panicking at baggage claim or searching for outlets at the airport.
2. Noise-Canceling Headphones
Whether you’re working mid-flight or trying to catch some sleep, noise-canceling headphones are a must. They block out crying babies, engine rumble, and airport chaos so you can focus—or relax—on your own terms.
3. High-Capacity Power Bank
Battery anxiety is real. A power bank with at least 20,000mAh and Power Delivery (PD) capability ensures your laptop, phone, and tablet stay charged even on long haul travel days. Ideal for gate delays or power-challenged destinations.
4. Memory Foam Neck Pillow
Not all neck pillows are created equal. Memory foam models contour to your neck for serious support during long flights. Bonus: many now compress easily into a travel pouch so they don’t hog space in your bag.
5. goDesk® Portable Luggage Desk
Need to work during a layover or in a hotel lobby without a table? The goDesk® is a portable desk that attaches in seconds to most 4-wheel roller luggage, instantly creating a sturdy work surface. It weighs just 1 lb, supports up to 12 lbs, and even includes a cup holder and media stand. Whether you’re typing up a report or enjoying a meal while you wait to board, this compact workstation makes productivity on the go easier than ever.
6. Universal Travel Adapter
Traveling internationally? A universal adapter is essential. Look for one with multiple USB ports and fast-charging capabilities so you can power multiple devices at once—no matter where you land.
7. Tech Organizer Pouch
Stop digging through your bag for tangled cords. A slim tech pouch with designated compartments keeps your charging cables, adapters, earbuds, and hard drives neatly in place and easy to grab.
8. Bluetooth Item Tracker (Like AirTag or Tile)
Slip one into your luggage or laptop bag. If it ever gets lost—or even just delayed—you’ll have peace of mind knowing exactly where it is with a quick app check.
9. Compression Packing Cubes
Stay organized and save space with packing cubes that compress clothing. Great for fitting extra outfits into carry-ons, and for keeping clean clothes separated from worn ones throughout your trip.
10. Global Wi-Fi Hotspot or eSIM Device
A portable hotspot or global eSIM ensures you’re connected at all times, without relying on unstable public Wi-Fi. Ideal for video calls, secure file access, and working confidently from anywhere.
Final Thoughts
With the right travel accessories, business travel doesn’t have to be stressful—it can actually be productive and even enjoyable. Whether you’re flying for meetings or working from an airport terminal, these smart tools help you stay organized, efficient, and connected. Don’t leave home without them—and if you’re serious about productivity, make space for the goDesk® in your travel routine. Your future self (and your back) will thank you.
