Planning your next big trip? Packing can be a tricky task, especially when you need the right accessories to keep things easy and organised. It’s hard to know what’s essential, and you don’t want to be that person frantically digging through your bag, looking for a passport or charger.

The good news? Laneway, Melbourne Airport’s online duty free shopping platform, makes your travel prep much smoother. Our convenient Click-and-Collect service lets you grab what you need at great prices without the stress.

To help make packing, travelling, and arriving at your destination a breeze, we’ve rounded up the best-selling travel essentials on Laneway. Here are some top picks that travellers are raving about:

1. Universal Travel Adapter

Travelling means taking along a bunch of gadgets that need charging. Whether you’re heading to Europe or flying into Australia, a universal adapter is a must-have. It lets you plug in anywhere without worrying about different socket types.

At Laneway, you'll find heaps of options, from Korjo’s travel adaptor sets to power adaptors with built-in USB sockets that let you charge your phone, camera, and laptop all at once.

Having an adapter saves you from scrambling at the airport or overpaying for one when you get there. Make sure you grab a reliable one that can handle all your gadgets and power banks.

2. RFID Credit Card Defender

When travelling, security is key—and that includes protecting your personal data. RFID Credit Card Defenders are slim sleeves that block unwanted scanning of your credit cards. This stops anyone from skimming your card details when you’re out and about. The RFID Credit Card Defender from Korjo is a simple but effective tool that fits neatly into your wallet.

On Laneway, you can pick up a three-pack of these handy protectors to cover all your cards. They’re a small investment that provides big peace of mind, especially in crowded tourist spots.

3. HRMC-Approved Luggage Lock

Luggage tags are great for identification, but they won’t keep your bags safe. That’s where HMRC-approved luggage locks come in. These locks are specially designed so that customs officials can open them without breaking them. They’re ideal for securing duffle bags, tote bags, and weekender travel bags—especially those without built-in locks.

And if you're travelling to the United States or Europe, make sure to grab a TSA-approved lock. It secures your bags while offering easy access for security inspections.

4. Heavy-Duty Luggage Strap

Luggage straps do more than just hold your suitcase closed—they add an extra layer of security and make your bag easy to spot on the luggage trolley. A heavy-duty luggage strap like this one from Korjo keeps your belongings secure if your suitcase takes a tumble or the zipper gives out.

5. All-in-One Travel Wallet

Travelling with a passport, multiple cards, cash, and boarding passes can get messy. That’s where an all-in-one travel wallet comes in handy. This travel wallet/passport holder by Korjo is compact but spacious enough to keep your passport, credit cards, and cash organised and accessible. It even has an RFID feature that keeps your cards safe from digital theft.

Plus, it’s much more comfortable to carry than a bulky crossbody bag, especially when all you need are the basics. Having everything in one place makes going through customs much faster and easier.

6. BPA-Free Travel Bottles

Having your own travel bottle is essential, whether you’re filling it up after airport security or just want to keep hydrated during your trip. These bottles are designed to prevent leaks and are sized to fit carry-on restrictions—so you won’t run into trouble at airport security.

This BPA-free travel bottle from Day Off is a great option. Not only is it made from safe, non-toxic silicone, but it also comes in a compact size that’s easy to throw in your bag.

7. Memory Foam Travel Pillow

Whether you’re flying across the globe or taking a long drive, a good neck pillow can make all the difference. Memory foam travel pillows provide firm but comfortable support that helps prevent a sore neck. It makes those long flights or overnight bus rides far more bearable.

Plus, some travel pillows come with a clip, so you can easily attach them to your carry-on when you’re not using them—no need to waste space inside your luggage.

8. Sleep Mask

Getting some shut-eye while travelling isn’t always easy, especially with all the lights and noise. A sleep mask helps block out distractions, making it easier to rest.

The Slip Pure Silk Contour Sleep Mask is an excellent option, thanks to its contoured design. Unlike standard eye masks, the contoured design sits comfortably over your eyes without pressing down on them, which is especially important on long flights. This sleep mask is available in one size and comes in a soft silk finish that’s gentle on your skin.

9. Compression Socks

Long flights or road trips can leave your legs feeling stiff. Compression socks help improve circulation, making long stretches of sitting more comfortable. They work by applying gentle pressure to your legs, reducing swelling and helping blood flow.

This pair of compression socks by Korjo is ideal for travellers and is available in a classic black shade. And if you think they're just for older travellers, think again. These socks are a must for anyone who wants to stay comfortable during a long journey.

10. Anti-Nausea Bands

Feeling queasy during travel? Anti-nausea bands can be a lifesaver. These bands work by applying pressure to specific points on your wrist, helping reduce feelings of nausea—no pills required. They’re perfect for anyone who struggles with motion sickness during flights or long car rides.

These anti-nausea bands are small enough to fit into your organiser or toiletry bag, meaning you can always have them on hand without taking up too much space. They’re also reusable, making them an excellent travel companion for any future adventures.
