Whether you’re embarking on a weekend roadtrip or flying to a far-flung destination for vacation, how you pack can make all the difference between a good trip and a really great one. So to help make all your trips really great in 2024, consider using these five suitcases and travel accessories.
Last month, LOJEL announced a spiffy refresh of its best-selling Cubo luggage collection. Now, all four sizes (Small. Medium, Fit, and Large) are manufactured with 50% recycled polycarbonate to be more sustainable, more durable internal reinforcements to endure heavy handling and weights, and user-friendly details like a removable and washable lining. As for what’s remained the same? The signature (and genius) flat-top opening and expandable capacity. The Fit size is an especially smart pick for jetsetters looking for quality hardside check-in luggage that looks sharp and effortlessly glides everywhere.
There’s little this well-designed and newly-launched bag from Lo & Sons can’t do. It’s a lightweight tote that can accompany you on your daily errands and tasks. It’s also a handsome weekender to store what you need (including shoes and dirty laundry in the genius zippered bottom pocket) for a quick getaway. Last but not least: it’s the ideal companion to your suitcase when you’re jetsetting far from home, since it neatly keeps your essentials (think laptop, keys, and passport) within easy reach.
While hardside luggage is definitely having a moment and won’t be going anywhere, don’t sleep on classic softside suitcases. Because more often than not, these versions are more affordable, durable, and lightweight than their sleek counterparts. Seeking a timeless style that checks off all the boxes with ease? Then give this streamlined and refreshingly simple model from Baggallini a go. It has all the features you require while taking a trip, with nothing you don’t.
If you’re someone who likes to stay organized and prefers a more minimalist look, opt for this genderless crossbody bag from Monos. The vegan leather is water- and scratch-resistant, and the main compartment easily seals shut with a magnetic flap. The interior is far roomier than you’d imagine with a separate pocket and two card slots, while the exterior sports an additional pocket for extra storage. In short: you can travel hands-free, while looking really chic with this accessory.
Since carrying your own refillable bottle is a good habit to get into for your health and the planet, why not choose one that looks sharp and makes maintaining your daily water intake a pleasure? This popular version from Takeya features a double-insulated stainless steel walls to ensure drinks stay refreshingly cold for up to 24 hours or steaming hot for up to 14. On top of

Winter means many travelers will be spending time in cold-weather destinations, heading out on ski trips and cozying up by the fire in cabins, but it also can mean dry, irritated skin. It’s no secret that cold temperatures often leave our skin feeling extremely dry—especially after a long-haul flight. While it can be daunting to switch things up if you’re afraid of breaking out or causing further irritation, your current skincare regimen might not be cutting it against harsh cold and dry climates.
Tourism in Jackson Hole may peak when throngs of travelers head to the area’s nearby national parks—Grand Teton and Yellowstone—in the summer, but the winter ushers in the famous snowfall. With anywhere between 75 and 450 inches of powder a year and temperatures that sit well below freezing, the Western region is a haven for winter sports enthusiasts. The months of world-class skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and snowmobiling are also interspersed with rousing events—including Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s annual freeride competition, Kings & Queens of Corbet's, in February—and a roster of cozier affairs, including Jackson Hole Food & Wine’s Winter Fest in March. Given the recreational area’s wide-ranging appeal this time of year, it’s always a good idea to book your accommodations as soon as possible.

Say goodbye to lukewarm beverages—insulated water bottles can keep beverages piping hot or icy cold for hours. Packing your own insulated water bottle when you fly can save you money (bring it through security empty and fill it up with chilled water at a bottle refill station) and help you keep that overpriced airport coffee warm through an entire flight. These are the best insulated water bottles for travel.
