Traveling overseas, especially long-haul flights can be daunting for many people. To make your journey more pleasurable, I have put together a list of travel accessories for international travel that are must-haves in my eyes.

I have been traveling extensively with and without my family for years and have added more travel accessories that made my travels more enjoyable over time.

 Uxcell TSA 3-dial Approved Security Lock Travel Luggage Strap 

Due to security reasons, it is always recommended to travel with luggage (either a suitcase or backpack) with a built-in TSA lock. Well, after lots of research it turns out bags with a built-in lock are hard to get. Instead, I found an excellent travel accessory.

It’s called a Travel Luggage Suitcase Belt with a built-in TSA lock.

I like the idea of a travel belt since they are available in different colors. That means you can easily spot your bag in between all the other suitcases.

They also secure your luggage just in case something happens to it during the rough handling at the airport.

The Uxcell travel luggage strap is adjustable and comes in different color choices.

 Bach Rescue Remedy

This natural remedy should be an essential in everyone’s handbag or first aid kit. I have been using it for years for myself and my children.  It has helped us tremendously when dealing with jet lag, when we are feeling stressed or unwell in general.

Please try Bach Rescue Remedy for yourself. I recommend checking with your doctor before using it.

Bach Rescue Remedy is also available as pastilles and alcohol-free for children.

 Swiss Army Pocket Knife

I still remember when I started my travels around the world many years ago; my aunt gave me the Victorinox Swiss Army Pocket Knife (Red)as a farewell gift back then.

It turned out to be one of the most useful tools to have. Cut your nails, open a bottle of beer, need a screwdriver? It’s all there when you need it. I still have and use my pocket knife.

Important: Please keep in mind to put the knife in your check-in luggage when you fly otherwise it will go in the trash bin at the airport!

Compression Socks/Stockings

Wearing compression stockings during a long haul flight will make all the difference to your comfort. Compression stockings help to prevent varicose veins, but more importantly, reduces the impact of the air pressure on your legs on a long-haul flight.

I can’t stretch enough how much more comfortable you’ll feel when wearing these stockings on a flight. No more tired feeling legs or the need to walk up and down the aisle to get the blood circulation going. You can thank me later. 🙂

My preferred stockings are the open feet ones that go up to your thigh.

The LTHA stockings are latex free and a silicone band on the top keeps them in place. The stockings come with a 30-day money back guarantee.

Janska MocSocks

The first thing I am always doing, after I put my cabin bag away, of course, is taking my shoes off and slip into the snuggliest, most comfortable fleece socks. The Janska MocSocks are super comfortable and will keep your feet warm.

Thanks to the skid-resistant sole and a double layer of fleece, they are also great for walking around on the airplane.

I do love the fact that these slipper socks are made in the USA. They are available in seven colors and are machine washable.

Cabeau Fold‘ n Go Travel Blanket 

We all know how cold it gets on an airplane which feels even worse when you get tired. Even though the airlines supply blankets (on a long-haul flight), the blankets are usually too small and not warm enough.

The Cabeau Fold’ n Go travel blanket will become your essential travel companion so you will feel warm and cozy.

The Cabeau travel blanket is lightweight and comes with a convenient travel bag for easy storage.

It is made from soft French microfibre and is machine washable.

Snuggle up, relax, and stay warm on your next trip with the high-quality Cabeau travel blanket.

LANGRIA 6-in-1 Memory Foam Neck Support Travel Pillow

A good quality travel pillow is another must-have in my list of travel accessories for international travel. You’ll find a huge variety of travel pillows on the market, but my favorite ones are memory foam travel pillows.

The Langria 6-in-1 travel pillow is probably one of the most versatile and best travel pillows available.

It is constructed of breathable fabric and premium memory foam. It is extra-large for more support and offers six different sleeping positions.
