Travel has changed a ton in the last decade alone. For one, now you can book everything from your flight to your Airbnb using just your phone. For another, thanks to the best travel accessories, it's easier than ever to minimize inconveniences, fit all your essentials in one suitcase, and stay comfortable in any corner of the globe. The travel industry expects a boom in smart technology for 2020, and manufacturers have followed suit with brilliantly designed travel items you never knew you needed. 

Maybe it's been a while since your last vacation, or maybe you're an avid traveler who's always adding to their must-have collection. Either way, once you've invested in the best luggage for 2020, consider filling it with the best new travel inventions on the market: gadgets that keep your phone charged without an outlet, loungers and neck pillows that help you sleep anywhere, and accessories that make it easy to Marie-Kondo your suitcase. You can even sip your favorite cocktail on a flight while your dog sits next to you on a memory foam mattress. (If any visual is going to hold you over until your next vacation, it's probably that one.) 

And the best news of all? You don't have to deal with crowds, lines, or counter-intuitive department store layouts. These well-designed inventions are all available online, so you can consult reviews and make your travel-friendly purchases without leaving the comfort of your own home. That way, when departure day finally rolls around, you're well-rested and adequately prepared for anything your adventure throws at you. 

So go ahead — book your flight, rent that RV, or reserve a gorgeous campground. No matter where you're headed, these 22 travel accessories are a must-have for 2020, all because they keep you safe and comfortable on the go.
