As 2025 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to look back at the travel products Points Path members gravitated toward most over the past year.

Whether you’re looking to up your travel game in 2026 or scrambling to finish up your holiday shopping, these are the 14 most popular items purchased by members this year — with No. 1 being the most popular among our readers.

The Apple AirTag 4-Pack was by far the most popular item purchased by Points Path members this year — and for a very good reason. At slightly bigger than a quarter, an AirTag can easily attach to all your travel essentials — including your checked or carry-on bags. Then, if something gets lost, misplaced, or even stolen, tracking it down becomes much easier —  especially now that over a dozen airlines are partnering with Apple.

I personally have a few packs, and keep an AirTag even in my carry-on luggage — they're not just for checked bags. Setup is a breeze, and I appreciate the security it gives me while traveling.

In fact, having an AirTag in my checked bag a few years ago came in handy, as the device alerted me well in advance that my bag never made it on the plane — and then allowed me to track my suitcase for the next 24 hours.

There's even an AirTag bracelet to keep track of your kids — especially helpful in large cities or at Disney World.

A close second in popularity were EPICKA's travel adapters — most notably the EPICKA Pulse 45W Travel Adapter and the upgraded EPICKA Pulse Duo 45W Travel Adapter.

Both models stand out for their impressively compact design, no additional attachments required, and their ability to work in more than 200 countries and regions. Each offers 45W charging capability, with the Pulse Duo 45W adding the benefit of concurrent charging and an extra port for powering multiple devices at once.

For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, the EPICKA TA-105 Universal Travel Adapter was also extremely popular among our community this year. It features a similar all-in-one compact design, works worldwide, and supports multi-device charging.

In case you missed it...

The booking rule that's worth breaking more often

The Twelve South AirFly SE is a must-have if you're flying with Bluetooth headphones — and a great holiday present for the travel-loving friend who already has everything.

Just plug this Bluetooth transmitter into the audio jack of your plane's in-flight TV system, and you can connect your Bluetooth headphones in no time, without any wires dangling around. My family brings this on any flight we take with an in-flight TV system.

Also almost equally popular were the Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 and Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 Deluxe. These are great picks if you're looking to connect two headphones at a time, with some extra bells and whistles.

If you're in the market for a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, Apple AirPods — specifically the AirPods 4 with ANC — have been a top pick this year. With best-in-class active noise cancellation and spatial audio, along with up to 30 hours of listening time, these are a must-have for travel and everyday use.

For those wanting the latest and greatest, Apple AirPods Pro 3 just debuted a few months ago and have gained traction among Points Path members. They have upgraded features and enhanced performance across the board.

And fortunately, both versions have decreased in price significantly over the past few months.

For the travel neat freak, the FYY Travel Cable Organizer Pouch helps keep cords organized and free of tangles. Available in a variety of colors, the pouch is made from waterproof and shockproof material.

Slightly less popular amongst the Points Path community, but still one of my favorite travel cases, is the EPICKA Electronics Organizer Travel Case. It's slightly more expensive, but it has a higher-end look and a roomier design.

I was thrilled to see the Loop Quiet 2 earplugs so high on this list, as they're a personal household favorite. Not only do these earplugs feature a powerful 24dB of noise reduction, but they're also extremely comfortable to sleep in and come in customizable fits for all ear sizes.

You'll also get a carrying case to avoid losing them, and can choose from multiple colors to fit your personality.

Keep all your essentials organized and within reach with the Airplane Tray Table Cover with Pocket Organizer. It's great for a long trip or when traveling with kids. You'll thoroughly appreciate all its slots for your electronic devices, water bottle, and snacks, plus a cover for the tray table when it's folded down. And best of all, this reusable item is machine-washable.

Due to its popularity, I recently pulled the trigger on the Perilogics Airplane Phone Holder, and I must say, it's an incredibly easy item to use. With this compact device, you can watch your favorite TV show or movie on the plane — hands-free — by connecting it to your seatback tray table.

It's actually on my daughter's holiday list, as she keeps stealing mine.

The secret to cheaper hotel stays, revealed

Think you already found the best price on your next hotel stay? Think again. This clever service keeps checking for lower rates even after you’ve booked, and automatically rebooks you if it finds a better deal. It’s like having a personal travel assistant quietly working to make sure you never pay more than you should. The best part is you can try it completely free — no credit card, no catch. Just enter your dates, sit back, and let it hunt for hidden savings. It’s the easiest way to make sure your next trip costs a little less without lifting a finger.

The travel inspira Luggage Scale is one of the few items on this list that I don't personally own, but based on the 40,000+ reviews on Amazon, I'm not surprised to see it a fan favorite among Points Path members.

This portable scale can weigh a suitcase up to 110 pounds, ensuring you're within the airline's weight restrictions.

We've written about many power banks this year, but the Anker Zolo Power Bank seems to be the top pick — it's also the one I use when traveling (and even at home).

It has its own built-in USB-C cable, and with 20,000mAh, you can get around two full charges on your iPhone. Plus, it can power your iPhone to over 50% in just 30 minutes.

There's also a 10,000 mAh option if you're looking for a slightly lighter power bank.

Points Path members purchased many different packing cubes this year, but the BAGAIL Compression Packing Cubes clearly stood out as the top choice. They’re budget-friendly and excel at maximizing suitcase space thanks to their double-zippered compression design.

Close behind in popularity (although it didn't make the top 14 list) were the EPICKA TripCozy Compression Cube 4-Pack. While they come at a higher price point, I find them easier to pack.

This leakproof silicone Tocelffe 18-Piece Travel Bottle Set ensures that your favorite toiletries — shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer, and more — can be brought in your carry-on. With many toiletry sets available, this is the set I personally use as well. With an included carry case, taking out your liquids during an airport security check is easier than ever.

Just loop the riemot Luggage Travel Cup Holder onto your luggage handle, and you can easily take extra items with you on the go. It acts as an extra set of hands to hold your coffee or water cup, cell phone, sunglasses, or any other accessories that you need easy access to.

Neck pillows can be a personal preference, but based on 2025 purchases, the FlyHugz Neck Travel Pillow was a clear winner (it's my personal favorite travel pillow, too).

With a 360-degree fit and adjustable design, your neck and head will stay put without flopping around. The cover is fully machine washable and compresses into a small travel bag when not in use.
