International Travel Gear was created to help travelers choose practical, carry-on–friendly gear without wasting money on items that don’t hold up in real travel conditions.

The site is run by a flight attendant with over a decade of experience traveling internationally, working long-haul flights, navigating airport security rules, and packing efficiently for constant movement. After years of seeing what works — and what fails — this guide was built to focus on function over hype.

Every recommendation is made with real-world travel in mind:

• Carry-on restrictions

• International liquid limits

• Durability after repeated trips

International Travel Gear is not a store and does not accept paid placements. Some links may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, which helps keep the site running while allowing recommendations to remain independent.

The goal is simple: help travelers pack smarter and avoid buying the wrong gear.
