Summer is almost upon us and that can only mean one thing – holiday time!
With endless airport queues and shrinking plane seats, it’s safe to say travelling is all about the destination and not the journey.
Luckily, there are a few great items that can make your next holiday start from the moment you step out the front door.
Amazon’s travel section has launched, so we’ve put together our picks for making the whole experience a little more enjoyable.
Portable power
Price: $69.99
No one wants to be fighting for the last power socket at the departure lounge. Rely on your own power source with this ultra-high capacity power bank, which can charge an iPhone 7 almost seven times.
Amazon Kindle
Price: From $179
You can’t always rely on the in-flight entertainment. Make the trip go faster and travel lighter with a Kindle Paperwhite E-reader. It holds thousands of books, reads like real paper and includes a gentle backlight – perfect for when the cabin lights have been dimmed.
Travel e-book
Price: $25.19
Top of our travel list: Japan. Get this Lonely Planet guide for your kindle and see what adventures await. Or check out the full range of travel guides for all countries here.
Bose noise-cancelling headphones
Price: $410
Block out the plane’s engines (or your chatty neighbour) with these wireless headphones. They connect to your device via Bluetooth and come Alexa enabled for voice-controlled music.
Travel bottle set
Price: $12.99
Don’t get caught out by differing airport rules on liquids around the world. This set is internationally approved and means you can take your usual toiletries without buying expensive mini versions.
Travel Pillow Premium Memory Foam
Price: $21.95
The next best thing to a lie-flat seat, kind of. Once you’ve used one of these, you’ll never travel without one. The memory foam adjusts to help you avoid a sore neck, and it compresses when you’re done to easily slip into a carry-on.
Passport holder
Price: $19.99
Being organised doesn’t come naturally to everyone, so taking an extra precaution to protect your passport, credit cards and other important documents can make all the difference to keep you from being stranded overseas.
Swisse Ultiboost Sleep

This formula helps you get a natural restful sleep – a sure way to beat jetlag.
Amazon Prime
Price: 30-day free trial, then from $4.99 per month
Watch popular movies and TV shows, including Prime Originals like The Grand Tour, anytime, anywhere – great for travelling when you have time to kill, but don’t always have an internet connection.

This lightweight, worldwide adapter covers over 200 countries, comes with USB ports and can charge two smartphones at once.
