Need a flight-safe powerbank to keep your devices going on a long-haul flight? Meet the Iniu B6. According to our colleagues at TechRadar, the Iniu B6 is the top budget pick in their best power banks guide, outperforming models that cost much more. Forget the listed RRP; AU$29.99 is the usual price, and while this discount isn’t quite the lowest we’ve seen, AU$21.67 is not too far off. Plus, one of my favourite things about the Iniu B6 is the fact that it has a built-in LED torch, which is great for finding things in your suitcase or to use as a nightlight when jetlag's got you awake at 3am.

Need more juice to fuel the whole family's devices on the trip? The INIU B5 boasts a 20,000 mAh capacity and is now discounted to AU$39.99.9.

First off, we all know how uncomfortable long-haul flights can be, but with a nifty little neck pillow, every flight will feel like a luxury. The Trtl Travel Pillow — which is more like a scarf — supports your head when sleeping or napping upright, ensuring you don’t get a kink in your neck. This is a mighty fine investment to make, especially as the Trtl is now down to just AU$62.99 on Amazon.

Another great travel hack I've invested in is the Twelve South AirFly SE, a handy little transmitter that connects your Bluetooth headphones to your in-flight entertainment screen. This transmitter was an absolute winner in my books, as I was able to use my Apple AirPods Max throughout the entire 10-hour flight to Tokyo with no hassles (or annoying wires!). The Twelve South AirFly SE in white is now just AU$44, down from AU$59.99.

For me, the best travel companion is a great pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Right now, the Bose QuietComfort SC headphones are down 40% on Amazon. These over-ear cans offer excellent Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance and sound quality, though they process audio differently and lack the Immersive Audio mode of the premium QuietComfort Ultra. These foldable headphones also come with a soft case. While the SC model is frequently discounted and this particular offer is not the lowest price we've seen, it's still a solid deal.

Nab this 45% off deal on Samsonite's Oc2lite suitcase in the carry-on size. The Oc2Lite offers a smooth and effortless rolling experience, even when fully packed, thanks to its double wheels and thoughtful design. Lightweight yet durable, this suitcase features a reinforced shell for added strength and easy manoeuvrability. Plus, all sizes are expandable, allowing you to increase your packing capacity.

One of American Tourister's claimed best sellers, the Kamden backpack is slimline and simple, which makes it perfect for in-cabin baggage. With a 22L capacity, the bag features a tablet pocket and a laptop compartment big enough for most 15-inch computers.

Featuring a waterproof base compartment, laptop pocket, internal key clip, detachable shoulder strap, and a separate shoe compartment, this stylish yet durable bag is perfect for any weekend away or short trips. It's also the perfect size for carry-on luggage, with room to keep any travel necessities close by during long-haul trips.

This versatile bag is available in four colourways — ivory, olive, pebble and charcoal — and also comes in a larger Long Weekender size.

It also doesn't hurt to have an aesthetically pleasing, colour-coordinated luggage set to take on your travels. A four-piece luggage bundle from Showkoo on Amazon will only set you back AU$239.99, which is around AU$59.99 per bag. Available in a range of colours under the same listing, you're sure to find a set that suits your style.

Constantly worried about your luggage? July's got you sorted with its CaseSafe tech, a built-in, trackable TSA lock compatible with Apple's Find My and Google's Find Hub networks. During its Black Friday sale, July’s CaseSafe suitcases are discounted when you purchase a bundle. The cheapest set is this Qantas colourway duo, down to AU$640 at checkout.

If you don't need a luggage set, but need a bigger suitcase to lug your purchases around when you're overseas, might I suggest this 82cm bag from American Tourister. Now 45% off at Amazon, this Light Max case has double compartments, an expandable zip and is extremely lightweight, making it a dream to push around. Available in a range of colours under the same listing.
