Here are 10 items that we love at TPG and consider bona fide travel essentials.
Apple AirTags

Tile trackers
AMAZON
Want a luggage tracker that isn’t an Apple AirTag? Tile trackers are worth checking out. The tracker is compatible with most cellphone operating systems, including Android and iOS, as well as various smart home devices. It’s also water-resistant, and a four-pack is slightly less expensive than a pack of four AirTags.
Buy: Tile by Life360 four-pack for $39.99 (normally $79.99; a 50% discount)
Avantree airplane Bluetooth adapter
AMAZON
The device you never knew you needed, this simple bit of kit can be plugged into any inflight entertainment system and allows you to link up your Bluetooth headphones. Even better, it has dual headphone capability so you can watch movies or listen to music with your travel companions. Never be blighted by poor-quality free airplane earbuds again.
