Introduction
Summer is here, and for many, that means it's time to travel. Whether you're planning a relaxing beach vacation or an adventurous trek through the mountains, having the right tech tools can make all the difference. The Verge staff recently shared their favorite travel gear, including apps, bags, gadgets, and more. This report will discuss some of the standout items mentioned and offer some philosophical insights and advice for travelers.
Tracking Flights with Flighty
Tracking flights can be a stressful experience, especially if you're dealing with multiple airlines or facing delays. Fortunately, The Verge's Deputy Editor Alex Heath recommends Flighty, a well-designed flight tracking app that provides real-time data on almost any route in the world. The app's Pro subscription offers even more features, including calendar sync, email import, TripIt sync, delay forecast, and flight archive. In addition to its practical benefits, Flighty highlights the value of indie software and power users who seek out niche tools that fill specific needs.
Luggage That Carries a Lot
Finding the right travel bag can be a daunting task, but The Verge's Audience Manager Kaitlin Hatton says the Lumesner carry-on backpack is a great option. It's roomy enough to carry a laptop, several days' worth of clothes, a large water bottle, and other essentials. The bag also includes packing cubes and comes at an affordable price, making it a practical choice for budget-minded travelers. Luggage is an important decision because it affects not only what you can bring, but also how you move through the world as you travel.
The Versatility of a Duffle Bag
Reviewer Victoria Song shares her love for the Baboon to the Moon Go-Bag Small, a versatile duffle bag that comes in bright colors and can be worn as a backpack or crossbody bag. The bag has multiple compartments and pockets, including an outside passport compartment, and is waterproof and easy to clean. Its spacious interior can hold clothes, shoes, toiletries, and more, making it perfect for both short and long trips. Song's emphasis on versatility reflects the need for travelers to be adaptable and efficient.
Organizing Your Tech Gear
Carrying multiple gadgets and chargers can be a hassle, but The Verge's Deputy Editor Dan Seifert recommends the Side by Side gadget bag to keep everything organized. The bag is slim when empty but can expand to hold multiple chargers, cables, and batteries. Its stretchy side panels make it easy to fit everything inside, and its vertical design allows it to be placed in a backpack without taking up too much space. Seifert's suggestion shows how important it is to have a system for managing and storing tech gear while on the go.
Comfortable Sleeping on the Go
For those who struggle with traditional neck pillows, The Verge's Senior Reviewer Monica Chin suggests trying the Cabeau Evolution S3, a neck pillow that attaches to the back of your plane or train seat. It's more comfortable than a regular neck pillow and doesn't shift during the flight, and it has pockets for storing small items. The pillow's usefulness highlights the importance of comfort and rest while traveling, and how finding the right product can make a big difference.
Mapping Out Your Trip with My Maps
