MORE TECHY TRAVELLERS

TILE PRO

Here’s a simple way to avoid losing luggage: put a Tile in your case or bag and you can find it from a phone. Tile’s clever trackers come in a number of shapes and sizes, and this version has the longest Bluetooth range of any Tile: up to 120m. Its battery lasts for up to a year of travelling and is replaceable. £30 / uk.tile.com

JHUA HANDHELD MINI FAN

Whether you’re packing a backpack or carry-on luggage, stick one of these in it: a tiny foldable fan that delivers impressive airflow near-silently. It’s made us a lot happier in stuffy transport hubs and too-hot hotel rooms… and the case even turns into a handy table stand. £14 / amazon.co.uk

AMERICAN TOURISTER SOUNDBOX 55CM

If you fancy packing your stuff into something with a distinctly retro vibe, this stylish suitcase is inspired by the grooves of vinyl records. It has a Tsa-approved lock and gives 38L of space in a case that weighs just 2.6kg. £145 / johnlewis.com

GO TRAVEL LUGGAGE SCALE

We’ve all seen them: the harassed families frantically unpacking and repacking their bags at departures because some of their bags are over the airline’s weight limit. With those limits seeming to get ever lower and the excess fees rising ever higher, this digital scale can save a lot of hassle. £10 / johnlewis.com

RETREEV

These luggage tags have a unique ID, a built-in NFC chip and a QR code, each of which can be used to notify Retreev of the location of any found luggage so they can tell you where it is. Unlike some trackers there’s no annual subscription: just buy the tag, activate it and use it for as long as you like. £13 / retreev.com

ZENDURE PASSPORT II PRO

If you need to travel with a lot of gadgets, this universal adapter is a must-have.

Its four different plug types work in over 200 different countries, it gets on with outlets from 100V to 240V, and with 61W power delivery it’s capable of charging up to six devices at once. £72 / amazon.co.uk
