Smooth Travels With These Flight Accessories

Living on an island, we fly a lot if we want to go anywhere. We're always on the lookout for affordable and worthy flight accessories. I've selected several to feature on this page....all travel accessories I either use now or plan to use on my next trip.

Flight accessories can greatly enhance smooth travel and there is no need to spend a fortune on fancy gadgets. Because a huge majority of people like myself usually fly coach class, every product that offers comfort and convenience while traveling is appreciated. I believe the right flight accessories can make a great vacation even greater. :) Aloha!

Luggage Scales

One flight accessory worth it's weight! (get it?) ;)

Flight Accessories For Smooth TravelPortable luggage scales are handy and easy to use. They can save you literally hundreds in overweight or oversized baggage fees when you travel.

Luggage scales with a tape measure built in are ideal. (Flight accessories like these scales make great gifts for anyone who travels.) My luggage scales are always with me when I travel; I wouldn't travel without them!

This Cocoon GRID-IT Organizer guarantees smooth travel for those who like to keep their electronic gadgets close at hand on board. Watch the 28 second video below to see how it works!


"This is an excellent product, in fact I am seriously considering buying another. If you travel and struggle with organizing/storing cables and other gear like I did, this will make your life so easy. It's so convenient and I can get rid of the assorted bag's/pouches that I used to store my cables, peripherals, etc. in.. If your worried about stuff falling out while its in the bag, I haven't had one problem with that." Amazon review, Jan 28, 2012

"This product is great for travelling. With all the electronic stuff I have, cords and plugins and devices end up in a jumble in the bottom of my bag. I haven't tried it yet, but there is no reason that these couldn't be hung up on the wall by my desk to store all kinds of good stuff..." Amazon review, Jan 4, 2012

    Excellent lense ! Luggage scale, I went on a cruise and had to pay extra because I had so much inside the luggage. It was a hard lesson to learn, but I see there are scales. If I travel by air I will have to invest in one. Thanks for info.

    Definitely the reinvented travel pillow.. I always hated the neck ones as you could never find a comfortable position where it wont slip off your head. This lets you rest on it nicely.. Great travel accessories
