For their luggage…
1. Passport Covers
A passport is arguably the most important item on your packing list for overseas travel, so why not adorn your international form of identification with a stylish cover?

For their long flights…
3. Neck Pillow
Airplane seats can be uncomfortable, especially if you’re on a long flight to somewhere halfway across the globe like Tanzania. This particular neck pillow is great because it can be deflated and easily stowed away when not in use.
