10 best tech gadgets for traveling – Mashable

Travel is back on the rise. This Thanksgiving, the number of travelers will be almost at pre-pandemic numbers (53.4 million). But with the pandemic still very much around, not to mention persistent supply chain issues leading to shortages, traveling might be a little more stressful than usual.

Whether you’re traveling for the holidays, or back to traveling for work, follow these recommendations of travel tech to make navigating travel a little easier.

If you’ve ever tried to pull a charger cable from the depths of your bag on a cramped plane, this one’s for you. Keep all of your cables and adaptors neatly tucked away so you don’t accidentally elbow a stranger. And it makes packing and unpacking a breeze. Reviewers praise this one for being compact yet functional, and it comes in different colors.

Can you use wireless headphones on a plane? The Federal Aviation Administration says yes, but each individual airline can also choose whether to allow or prohibit them. Why not bring a pair of wired headphones just in case? That way, you also don’t have to worry about losing battery. Plus, didn’t you know wired headphones are cool again?

Nobody likes keeping track of a bevy of passwords, or carrying around those dumb little keys. Instead use a padlock that unlocks with the touch of a finger. This one is waterproof, has a rechargeable battery that lasts for 2,500 unlocks, and is made of durable stainless steel.

Say goodbye to cumbersome padlocks.

Any experienced traveler knows that a good e-reader is critical. The latest from Amazon’s Kindle line has been getting rave reviews for its big display, thin build, and 10 weeks of battery life. In fact, Mashable’s own Alex Perry loved the new Paperwhite so much, it made him enjoy reading again.

This top-rated gadget comes with adapters for North America, EU, and UK outlets, has two USB ports (USB-A and USB-C), and its USB-C port is enabled with PD which stands for Power Delivery. Essentially PD is high-speed charging technology so you don’t have to hang around your hotel room waiting for your phone to charge.

Not just an adapter but also a high-speed charger.

Ironically, the features you need the most when you travel — GPS, translating app, podcasts, etc. — are the biggest drains on your battery. In normal life a dead battery is an inconvenience, but if you’re traveling, it’s a disaster. Arm yourself with a portable charger just in case.
