Here is our full list of the best Amazon travel accessories for 2023.
1. Perfume Atomiser (Refillable Bottle) (£7.99 for pack of 5)
One of my biggest pet peeves about flying with hand luggage only is that I have to sacrifice my beloved perfumes. Fed up of not being able to give myself a little spritz before an evening out, I eventually invested in a perfume atomiser – and it’s been life changing.
This perfume atomiser is really easy to work and allows you to pump a small quantity of your favourite perfume into a travel-friendly spritz bottle.
I also use the atomiser day-to-day as it’s so easy to just pop into my handbag.

2. Cable Organiser (£20.12)
There’s nothing worse than a cabin bag, or suitcase, full of cables.
Scrambling around inside an overflowing backpack for your iPhone charger, while squashed between two strangers on a flight, is a situation I’ve found myself in far too many times.
Using a cable organiser (small enough for a cabin bag) has therefore been a game-changer. Now the proud owner of one, I fly with my Airpods and all cables safely tided away in my organiser.
The iMangoo case is shockproof and has a specific pocket for your Airpods, as well as space for a power bank charger.

3. Reusable Silicone Travel Bottles (£10.99 for pack of 4)
Save your bank account (and the planet) by buying reusable silicone travel bottles for your shampoos and lotions.
I bought these squeezy silicone reusable bottles, along with labels for each bottle, before a trip last year and have used them religiously ever since. The labels are particularly helpful, if you’ve forgotten which bottle contains what.
Say goodbye to the days of accidentally washing your hair with coconut body lotion.
4. Clear Travel Toiletries Bag with Zip (£6.99 for a pack of 2)
Fed up with using flimsy plastic bags for my plane liquids, I made the swap to these reusable, waterproof toiletries bags. They make my liquids feel much more organised and the zip keeps any leaks nicely contained.
I was a little worried these bags would be rejected during security, but I’ve used them on 10 + flights now with no issue.
5. Airplane Inflight Phone Mount (£10.99)
With no good place to prop your phone up during a flight, free your hands and sit back with an inflight phone mount.
This clever contraption clips over the plane table, providing a neck-pleasing angle for you to watch your favourite shows, without having to hold it for long periods.

6. Travel Shoe Bags (holds up to 3 pairs) (£10.99)
Keep your suitcase belongings clean and germ free with these genius shoe bags from Amazon. Nicely designed, I love using this pouch, which can hold up to three pairs of shoes.
7. Travel Jewellery Organiser (£15.99)
One of the best Amazon travel accessories that I’ve bought is this travel jewellery organiser.
Fed up of facing a tangled mess of necklaces and earrings when I landed back from holiday, I decided to buy this Amazon jewellery organiser and it’s been a dream.
I even keep my jewellery in it when I’m home, to ensure that everything stays beautifully knot-free.
8. Underseat Cabin Bag (£39.95)
With stricter rules being rolled out by most airlines, travelling with hold luggage has become much more expensive.
I was therefore keen to find an underseat cabin bag that I could use for long weekend breaks, without having to pay through the nose for hold luggage. Our friend, The Travel Hack, thankfully came to the rescue with her Travel Hack Backpack, which has made travelling without hold luggage incredibly easy.
I’ve saved myself so much money by just using the Travel Hack Backpack for travel and can highly recommend it.
9. Car seat Organiser (£19.99)
Since having Olive, I’ve become mildly obsessed with unearthing travel hacks for travelling with children. Tired of having bags of toys, snacks and nappies overflowing across the backseat, I recently invested in a car seat organiser.
I bought one designed for children, which lets me neatly display her Amazon Kindle Fire, books, toys and snacks all within easy access of her greedy toddler hands.
10. Handheld Travel Steamer (Steamery Cirrus 2 £85.00)
After years of searching hotel rooms for an iron (with mixed results), we decided to invest in the Steamery Cirrus 2 handheld steamer.
Small and compact, this is the ideal travel steamer and works wonders on your crumpled garments.
Read our full review of the Steamery Cirrus 2.
11. Universal Adaptor (£21.99)
Not one of the most exciting Amazon travel accessories on the list, but one of the most important, is the humble universal adaptor. Spare yourself hours searching for different country adaptors by buying a universal adaptor.
I bought one that has USB points as well as plugs, so it’s easier to use more than one item at once.
12. Travel Organiser for passport and tickets (£18.99)
Now that I’m in charge of more than just my own passport, I decided it’s time to store them somewhere more secure than my back pocket.
By chance, I actually won this travel organiser on an Instagram competition – and I’m thrilled with it. I can store all my cards, passports, keys and spare change in it and it doesn’t take up a huge amount of space in my bag.
13. trtl Soft Neck Support Pillow (£54.99)
Now, I must admit that I’m yet to try the trtl Soft Neck Support Pillow – but it is on my list to buy. I have a number of (similar aged friends) who were after a bit more support when flying and swear by this neck pillow.
The trtl Soft Neck Pillow is a little different to your bog standard flight pillow, wrapping around your neck to create your own unique support.
It sounds marvellous.
14. Hanging Toiletry Bag (£21.99)
There’s nothing more annoying when travelling than having no where to dump your toiletries. After years of keeping my toiletries bag on a hotel bathroom floor, I upgraded to a hanging toiletry bag.
I now hang my toiletry bag from the wardrobe door – keeping the bathroom clutter free and my toiletries safe and clean.
15. Extra Long Charging Cable 3m (£8.99)
One of life’s biggest mysteries is why hotels always decide to place their plug sockets as far away from the bed as possible. A design oversight, that seems to be a global phenomenon, I have lost many a good night’s sleep, scrabbling around in the dark to find my phone to check the time.
I actually bought my extra long charging cable ahead of my c-section (hospitals also like to place their plug sockets in remote locations), but it has now become a key staple of my travel accessories.
This 3 metre cable usually allows me to plug my phone in to charge across a room, while still reaching my bedside table.

16. Chipolo Tracking Tags (£45.00)
I’d been considering getting some tracking tags for my luggage, wallet and keys for a while and started using the Chipolo tags before a trip to Jordan last year.
I have three small airtags, which I have attached to my phone, as well as popping one in both my hand luggage and hold luggage. I then use the Chipolo card for my purse, which fits neatly amongst my other bank cards.
The tracking is brilliant and on my iPhone I can see the whereabouts of all my valuables while travelling. As an aside, the Chipolo tags are great for using day to day, if (like me) your keys are regularly squirreled away by a busy toddler.
17. Phone Lanyard and Waterproof Case (£15.99)
I bought a phone lanyard and case after a recent trip to Jordan.
During a very testing hike, I was getting annoyed by having to constantly stop and pull my phone out my bag every time I wanted to take a photo. I noticed my friend had a phone lanyard, and wondered why I hadn’t thought to get one sooner.
The lanyard and case allows easy access to your phone, without needing any hands to hold it.
It’s proved very handy, especially in Iceland’s lagoons, where my phone could stay snuggled in its waterproof case around my neck.
18. Juice Portable Charger/Power Bank (£27.99)
An oldie but a goodie, you can’t have the best Amazon travel accessories list without including a portable charger. I’ve had many over the years, but would say the Juice power banks are by far the best when it comes to longevity.
I have the Juice 5, which charges my iPhone five times over in full. This has been a life saver when travelling to more remote places, like Wadi Rum, Agafay Desert or simply when on a long haul flight.
19. Clip on Toothbrush Protector (£5.59 for a pack of 4)
Simple yet effective, a toothbrush protector for travel is an essential.
With your toothbrush rubbing up alongside your other toiletries, or resting on questionable surfaces, the little toothbrush protector will keep things hygienic.
My favourite are these clip style toothbrush head protectors, which are quick and easy to use.
20. Gowraps Luggage Handle Wraps (£21.00 for pack of 5)
These luggage handle wraps are one of my favourite Amazon travel finds. As the owner of a non-descript black suitcase, I have spent many anxious minutes at luggage carousels, straining to identify my bag.
To avoid any more awkward interactions at the luggage carousel, I bought these luggage handle wraps, so that I could identify my suitcase quickly and easily.
Bright and colourful, these luggage wraps are also machine washable.
21. Reusable Leaklocks Toiletry Skins (£19.94 for pack of 4)
Although I’ve already mentioned reusable travel bottles in this Amazon travel accessories list, these reusable ‘leaklocks’ are also a must when travelling with larger items.
Nothing puts me in a worse mood than opening up my toiletries case and discovering that my shampoo has exploded. Thankfully, this rage inducing event is now a thing of the past thanks to these reusable leaklocks. You simply pop them over any toiletry bottles and voila – any leaks will be contained.
22. Foldable Travel Hangers (£7.29 pack of 8)
It’ll always be a mystery to me why hotel rooms offer so few when it comes to coat hangers. Knowing that guests will be arriving for a 2-week holiday, you’d think the wardrobes would be overflowing with coat hangers, but this is rarely the case.
Save yourself an argument with your travel companion by bringing your own. These foldable travel hangers are a true Amazon travel find and fold up neatly in your suitcase, taking up minimum space.

23. Foldable, motivational water bottle (£11.99)
After losing many water bottles during my adventures, I’ve now found the ideal bottle for travel that folds up neatly in my bag when I’m not using it.
I also chose to get a ‘motivational’ bottle, which reminds me to keep hydrated during days travelling and exploring a new destination.

24. Twelve South AirFly Pro (wireless connector) (£49.99)
The final item on our Amazon travel accessories list is expensive, but well worth it.
This clever little bluetooth device will let you connect to inflight entertainment with your own headphones. This means you can finally reject the uncomfortable, often useless, airline headphones in favour of your own.
Outside of travel, the Twelve South AirFly Pro is also very handy for connecting your headphones to gym equipment.
25. Magnetic Wireless Charger 3 in 1 for Apple
If you’re an Apple user, this product is an absolute must when travelling. The portable charger allows you to charge your Airpods, phone and Apple watch at once, without lots of cables or adaptors. The charger folds up neatly and be tucked into your luggage without taking up any space.
