What is the Best Travel Organiser – EPIC Rundown 2024
After a few years of staying home and travelling only in our minds, borders are finally opening up for travel. There’s nothing better than setting off on an adventure, whether you’re crossing the ocean to a different continent or heading off on a backpacking trip around your home state. That being said, if you’re a seasoned traveller, you’ll know that a lot of preparation and packing goes into a trip, and it’s super important you have your possessions organised before you leave.
There are two types of packers in this world, the organised packer, and the chaotic packer. We’ve all indulged in a bit of last-minute messy packing in our time, chucking everything into a backpack unfolded and in a disorganised manner. But truly, there’s nothing worse than finding yourself at the check-in counter without knowing where your passport is or sitting on the flight wondering if you forgot to pack your toothbrush. Luckily, these experiences can only help teach us to be more organised in the future.
The easiest way to keep organised on your travels is by using a bunch of travel organiser bags, packs, and wallets to keep all your things in neat order. This way, there’s a place for everything, and you can visually see if something is missing from your packing list.
Not only do travel organisers make your life much easier when you’re packing and unpacking, but they also help you keep track of your possessions while you’re out and about on your adventure.
In this post, we’re going to highlight some of the best travel organisers for a range of adventures, from backpacks to electronics organisers, to make-up bags, to toiletry bags and everything in between. Whether you’re heading off for a local camping trip or are embarking on a worldwide adventure, there are a bunch of travel organisers on the market that will make your packing and unpacking duties less stressful.
Quick Answers – Stay Organised On Your Travels
No time to read the full article? Take a look at our pick of the top eight travel organizers for a variety of occasions and types of travellers:
#1 Best Organised Backpack – Tropicfeel Shell Backpack
- #2 Best Clothes Organiser – Nomatic Packing Cubes
#3 Best Electronics Organiser – WANDRD Tech Pouch
- #4 Digital Nomad Organiser- Nomad Organisers From Harber London
#5 Best Toiletry Organiser – Nomatic Hanging Toiletry Bag 2.0
#6 best travel document organiser – harber london super slim passport wallet, #7 best organised carry on – monarc settra duffel backpack.

About The Best Travel Organisers
The very best travel organisers in the world today, some more great ways to stay organised, final thoughts on the best travel organisers.
You’ll need different travel organisers depending on where you’re travelling to, how long you’re going for, and the type of trip you are taking. We don’t necessarily suggest you buy all of these organisers for one trip, but rather think about what will be most practical for you and your travel style. For example, a backpacking trip around Costa Rica will require you to pack very differently than if you were visiting Paris for Fashion Week.
The best travel organisers on the market are designed well-using quality materials and zippers. For many people, the whole point of packing well is to fit as much as you possibly can into a small space. For this reason, a good travel organiser should have practical storage compartments with optimised internal storage space for whatever they are designed to store. Some organisers even have customisable compartments, allowing you to design the internal storage space yourself.
![vertical travel pouch vertical travel pouch](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/shutterstock_1758805490-scaled.jpg)
If you’re travelling by plane or planning to lug your bag around by hand, you’ll also need to consider the bag’s weight. There’s no use being ultra-organised if you rock up to the airport with overweight luggage!
Price is also an important consideration, and you don’t want to end up spending an arm and a leg on travel organisers before you even embark on your journey. Most of the time, the highest quality products are the most expensive, but this doesn’t mean you won’t find practical and stylish travel organisers for a low price. Sometimes, it’s worth investing in a super high-quality bag if you plan on using it enough.

![vertical travel pouch Shell Backpack By Tropicfeel](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/tropicfeel-shell-wardrobe-05_6e05bf23-0063-4809-84b7-d9474fca8636_720x.jpg)
Tropicfeel created the Shell Backpack for the most versatile travellers. Whether you’re going on an adventurous camping trip or just a weekend away, this is the ultimate modern-day travel backpack and, without a doubt, one of the best travel organisers on the market.
While it’s called the Shell Backpack, this is much more than your ordinary shell. The main feature of the Tropicfeel Shell is its wardrobe system. This allows you to carefully organise your folded clothing into an easy-access foldable wardrobe and compress it into a tight space using the built-in compression system. With this practical technology, you’ll be able to fit in an additional 20% of clothing.
This 3-in-1 adjustable and adaptable design allows you to shift between a 22l and a 40l backpack. Expand it when you’re settled in your hostel, and contract it when you’re moving around.
The entire bag opens like a clamshell, meaning you can forget about digging your hand deep into the bag to unsuccessfully fish something out.
It also offers space to buy additional detachable accessories (such as a tech pouch, camera cube, and toiletry bag), which can be connected to the bag using magnetic Fidlock technology. This is ideal if you need a little extra space. Talking about space – there’s also a 6l expandable kangaroo pocket at the base of the bag, which is excellent for overflow items.
Of course, fitting so much into a small bag is bound to increase its weight. Luckily, Tropicfeel has thought of everything and has created a super durable and ergonomic backpack that is ultra-comfortable even when packed at full capacity. This is owing to the ergonomic back panel made from foam for lumbar support, as well as the adjustable and cushioned straps, hidden hip belt, and dual handle.
On top of all this, the Shell is weatherproof and built using sustainable fabrics and recycled materials. What more could you possibly ask for?
#2 Best Clothes Organiser – Nomatic Packing Cubes
![vertical travel pouch Nomatic Packing Cube](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Nomatic-Packing-Cube.jpg)
A packing cube can be one of the most useful products and the best travel organisers for your clothes. They’re small and compact and can fit into wheeled suitcases as well as backpacks.
Packing cubes are ideal for trips where you plan to move around every few nights. Without having to unpack and repack your suitcase at each destination, you can easily decompartmentalise the contents of your case without unfolding your clothes or losing track of anything along the way.
Nomatic has a range of three packing cubes (small, medium, and large) for different sized cases, all differing in thickness. They’re built using durable materials, including high-quality zippers, and are lightweight enough not to make much of a difference to your overall bag weight.
Each packing cube is designed with a zippered compression system to help you pack 50% more than you otherwise would. The see-through mesh allows you to see what you’ve packed, making it easy to find what you’re looking for without having to open up each pack.

![vertical travel pouch Wandrd Tech Bag](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Wandrd-Tech-Bag.jpg)
One of the most frustrating things you can do is forget a charger cable in a wall socket during your travels. Not only are cables, cords, and plugs super pricey, but it’s also impractical not to have your device chargers on hand. Whether you work in the film or tech industry or you’re going on a short or a long trip, these pouches have been thoughtfully designed using high-quality materials for all sorts of travellers.
The best travel organisers for electronics are also designed to keep your cables in good condition, reducing the possibility of them being bent at funky angles and breaking. We’ve all had a dodgy aux cable that just ruins the vibe!
To make your life a little bit easier, WANDRD has designed the ultimate tech pouch to stash your devices and electronic accessories. The pouch comes in three sizes (small, medium, and large), each of which has a unique webbing lock and clip system on the back panel, allowing you to connect two or three bags together depending on how much tech equipment you’re carrying. These tech bags have mesh organisation pockets, as well as pen loops and cord pass-through holes.
For added convenience, the tech bags can also attach to two of WANDRD’s most popular backpacks. However, if you aren’t lucky enough to be kitted out with this brand’s backpacks, you can also use the detachable carry straps to attach your tech organisers to any other bag. They might look small, but you’ll be surprised at how much you can fit into these bags!

From their smallest digital nomad organiser to their biggest, each organiser comes with a range of practical sleeves, pockets, clips, and rings to hold everything you might need. Loops and rings are ideal for keeping your keys in one place, as well as organising your electronic cables so that they don’t bend and get damaged.
You can even use the organiser as a wallet, with card pouches and zipper pockets added to keep your cards and cash safe. You also won’t have to worry about your laptop slipping out, as the bags come with security fasteners to keep them safely in place.

![vertical travel pouch Nomatic Toiletry Bag 2](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Nomatic-Toiletry-Bag-2.jpg)
If there’s one product on this list that you likely already have, we’d guess it was a toiletry bag. They’re a common product that helps us keep all our toiletries in one place, but they’re also super useful in case one of your products buckles under cabin pressure and explodes or leaks. If we packed our toiletries in and amongst our clothing, we would all land up with shampoo-drenched t-shirts.
The Nomatic Hanging Toiletry Bag is one of the best travel organizers in the business because of its hanging straps and internal organisational layout. Have you ever arrived at a hotel or hostel to realise the bathroom has no counter space to lay out all your things? Well, simply attach this bag to a hanger, the shower pole, or the door handle in your bathroom for easy access to your toiletries at any time.
This bag comes in small and regular sizes and is designed with a minimalistic style and slim profile, making it easy to pack into your suitcase or backpack. The bags are built using durable waterproof materials to ensure any leaks are contained (both from internal spills and outdoor weather!)
The Hanging Toiletry Bag is made up of a bunch of mesh compartments, making it easy to compartmentalize your products and see what is where at all times. There is even a dedicated toothbrush holder where you can stash your toothbrush and keep it clean.

![vertical travel pouch Harber London Super Slim Passport Wallet](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Harber-London-Super-Slim-Passport-Wallet.jpg)
We’ve all felt our hearts sink when we think we’ve misplaced a passport, card, or money while travelling, so keeping your travel documents safe is a top priority for any global traveller. Harber London has designed a simple and ultra-sleek leather document pouch to keep your passport, travel cards, and cash safe and in one place.
The ultimate goal of this passport wallet is to eliminate bulky pockets. Without this nifty wallet, you’ll have to store your passports separately from your cards and money, making for an uncomfortably chunky pocket.
The organiser can hold between one and two passports, many boarding passes and receipts, and up to four cards. The interior is made from a soft wool lining, which helps prevent your documents from getting scratched or damaged along your journey.

If you’re looking for the best travel organiser to take with you as carry-on luggage , look no further. The Monarc Settra duffel is basically six bags in one, making it one of the most versatile bags on our list.
This dual function bag can be used as either a duffel bag or a backpack and is TSA-approved for carrying with you in an aeroplane cabin. The Settra comes in a grey or a black colour and includes five accessory bags that seamlessly fit into them.

Fourth, you can make use of the tech pack to store all your devices, cords and cables, drives, journals, and pens. This section is even large enough to store an iPad Mini. There’s also a laptop pocket in the main bag which is large enough to store a 17-inch laptop.
Comfort is key when you’re backpacking, and while other duffel backpacks are typically less comfortable than traditional backpacks, the Monarc Settra has air mesh padding at the back to provide comfort and breathability.
Not only is it super functional and spacious, but it’s also made using 50 recycled plastic bottles and water-resistant fabric that is ethically sewn. Labelled the world’s first certified plastic negative bag, you can rest assured you’re doing your part for the planet when buying this bag.

Totes from Away, MZ Wallace, and Quince came highly recommended by T+L editors and travel experts.

Our Testing Process

- Why Trust T+L
Travel + Leisure / Jessica Juliao
While many travelers opt for a backpack as a trusted travel companion, we think tote bags offer similar (if not better) features for certain travelers. Tote bags are convenient for quickly accessing items like a phone or wallet since your belongings are kept closer to the body.
It’s important to invest in a tote bag (or any piece of luggage for that matter) that fits your needs as a traveler. There are tons of different bag styles out there, so we pulled recommendations and notes from seasoned travelers and Travel + Leisure editors to crowdsource the best tote bag options from travel experts. Plenty of packable, convertible, weekender, and leather tote bags came highly recommended, and we highlighted why each bag earned praise so you can make the most informed decision whether you’re a frequent flier, road tripper, or office commuter.
Best Overall
Mz wallace deluxe tote.
The large storage capacity and efficient organization make it an excellent personal item for flying.
The laptop pocket isn’t padded.
This quilted MZ Wallace tote bag earned major points for having a spacious capacity without feeling bulky or weighted down when it’s packed full. An ideal bag for air travel, it can fit carry-on essentials while still being able to fit underneath an airplane seat, and the zippered top keeps everything safe and sound. There are tons of pockets for storing items, including a 13-inch laptop pocket (unpadded) and five other smaller pockets for lip balm, phone chargers, and wallets. Although we found this tote bag to be exceptionally lightweight, it boasts a trolley sleeve to secure the bag to a suitcase to give your shoulder a rest when needed. It also comes with a detachable shoulder strap to carry the bag as a crossbody when desired.
This bag came highly recommended after thorough testing and the only slight inconvenience we ran into is that the tote is unstructured so if there isn’t a laptop in it, the items sag at the bottom. However, the variety of pockets help to distribute the weight, so we still think this bag is the ultimate travel companion for storing the essentials.
The Details: 11.6 x 9.4 x 12.7 inches | Nylon, leather | Trolley sleeve | 13-inch laptop pocket
Travel + Leisure / Jessica Juliao
Best Overall, Runner-up
Quince revive nylon large tote.
It conveniently folds up for packing and is impressively lightweight.
There isn’t a top zipper.
The Quince Revive Nylon tote bag was praised by our experts for its lightweight material and portable design for traveling. The bag is made with durable nylon, it never feels cumbersome to carry, and the fabric design makes it easy to fold up the bag to place it in a carry-on or backpack without taking up much space. With designated pockets for a laptop, water bottle, and smaller items, we love that there is a spot for both everyday and travel essentials for supreme versatility. If the tote gets dirty while traveling, you can spot-clean the nylon fabric with soap and water, and it comes in Oxford blue, olive, and black color options that easily hide wear and tear over the years. Because the tote bag doesn’t have a top zipper, it scored slightly lower than our top pick, but we still think the flexible fabric and slim design of the tote helps keep it close to your body while walking through a crowded airport or down busy streets.
The Details: 17 x 13 x 7 inches | Recycled nylon | Water resistant | 15-inch laptop pocket
Best Open-top Canvas
L.l.bean boat and tote bag.
It can accommodate bulky items thanks to the wide-mouth opening.
It doesn’t have any organizational features, so you’ll want to use packing cubes or pouches.
Beach days, picnics, and road trips are the best uses for this spacious canvas tote from L.L. Bean. Made from heavyweight cotton canvas, the tote was originally designed to carry ice from a car to an ice chest back in 1944, and it still boasts the brand’s impressive 500-pound weight capacity (though we hope your travel essentials will never weigh that much). While we’d normally be wary of a travel bag without any pockets, the bag has a generous capacity, which makes it ideal for blankets, lunch boxes, shoes, or any other bulkier item needed for a day or road trip. And when it comes to durability, you can’t beat a tote bag constructed with enough reinforcement to carry over a dozen cinder blocks.
The Details: 13 x 12 x 6 inches | Cotton canvas
Best Machine-washable
Baggu duck bag.
The cotton is machine-washable, and it comes with a crossbody strap.
The top has a magnetic button closure.
Traveling can be hard on luggage, so we love that you can toss the Baggu Duck Bag in a washing machine to prolong the life of the tote. It came highly recommended after one of our team members spilled an entire burrito inside, and all it took was one rinse cycle to get it looking good as new. The canvas material is made with 65 percent recycled cotton from pre-consumer waste like old socks or T-shirts. In addition to the tote handles, the bag also comes with an adjustable crossbody strap to carry the bag over the shoulder. It has enough room to carry a laptop up to 15 inches long, and there is a small zippered pocket on the inside for a wallet or earbuds. One thing to note is that the top has a magnetic button closure instead of a zipper.
The Details: 15.75 x 11 x 4.75 inches | Recycled cotton canvas
Best Open-top Leather
Milaner woven handbag.
It’s big enough to be an overnight bag if needed.
There isn’t a laptop pocket.
This woven Milaner leather tote bag is the ultimate tote bag for flying, commuting, or an overnight trip . The larger size can accommodate bulky items like clothing, shoes, or a laptop, and there are two small zippered pockets for wallets and phone chargers. Thanks to the structured design of the woven Nappa, suede, or Vachetta leather, this bag is super easy to pack with travel essentials without feeling cumbersome to carry. It doesn’t have a top zipper, but it does feature a slim shape so the bag is kept close to the body. We also recommend using the dust bag it comes with when placing the bag under an airplane seat to keep the contents from spilling out or getting the bag dirty from the airplane carpet.
The Details: 20 x 14 x 3 inches | Nappa leather
Best Sustainable
Béis east to west tote.
It’s made with 100 percent recycled material.
It only comes in two colors, and the white could get dirty quickly.
We’re big supporters of eco-friendly luggage that is still just as durable as this tote bag from T+L-loved brand, Béis. Made with 100 percent recycled polyester and recycled faux leather trim, the bag comes in simple black and white shades. There is a padded laptop pocket for laptops up to 15 inches long, two water bottle pockets, two slip pockets, and one zippered pocket so there’s a spot for everyday and travel essentials. Other helpful features for travelers include a trolley sleeve for carrying it on a suitcase, a key leash so you won’t have to dig around to unlock the door (plus you can attach an AirTag holder to it), and a zippered pocket in front. We can’t forget to mention the two lengths of tote handles and a detachable crossbody strap.
The Details: 17.13 x 14.17 x 9.06 inches | Recycled polyester, vegan leather | 15-inch padded laptop pocket | Luggage sleeve
Best Lightweight
Longchamp tote bag.
It folds into a fraction of the original size for superior packability.
The leather straps aren’t padded.
This lightweight tote bag is ideal for both maximalist and minimalist packers since it folds into itself and can easily be stored in a larger bag without taking up valuable space. Despite the featherlight design, the bag is made with a hardy recycled polyamide canvas that can withstand the test of time. Besides the excellent portability, we love that the tote bag has a zippered top with a large leather flap that closes over the zipper to give peace of mind that items are safely tucked away while traveling. There’s only one small zippered pocket inside the bag, which could be a slight drawback for some, but we think the packable design is well worth the lack of pockets. The bag comes in seven colors ranging from neutrals hues to bolder tones, and the leather straps, though unpadded, give the bag a chic look to complement any outfit.
The Details: 12.2 x 11.8 x 7.5 inches | Recycled polyamide canvas, leather | Packable
Best Convertible
Caraa studio tote.
It has a convenient modular design to carry the bag as a tote or backpack.
The exterior shoe pocket can only accommodate smaller shoes.
Can’t decide between a tote or backpack? This Caraa Studio tote bag has a two-in-one design to carry it as either, offering the best of both worlds. With detachable shoulder straps, the leather tote bag can be converted to a backpack in seconds or carried over one shoulder if you’re in crowded areas like a subway or sidewalk and want to keep the bag close. Best of all, there is tons of built in storage to stay naturally organized while traveling. Our favorite features include the 17-inch laptop pocket and shoe compartment on the side of the bag to separate footwear from the rest of the main compartment. Although the pocket can only hold smaller shoes, it can be a game-changer for certain travelers. And there are eight other pockets built into the interior anti-microbial lining to store phone chargers, wallets, passports, and more when you’re en route to a destination.
The Details: 18 x 13 x 7.5 inches | Italian leather | 17-inch laptop pocket
Most Durable
Carhartt legacy east/west tote.
This bag is made to last with a sturdy design and hardy fabrics.
The ends of the zippers don’t connect to the fabric, so small items could escape.
Camping, ski trips, beach days, and other outdoor activities can sometimes speed up the wear and tear on a tote, but that’s not the case with Carhartt’s Legacy East West Tote. We’re confident this bag is built to last due to the heavy duty 600 denier polyester and DWR coating to keep the elements from seeping into the tote. After four years of our constant use while traveling and commuting, the tote earned high praise for not showing any signs of letting up on quality anytime soon. With a zipper top and several slip pockets on the interior and exterior, there are spots to store a phone, keys, and wallets safely in the bag. There are gaps on each end of the bag because the ends of the zipper aren’t sewn to the fabric, so watch out for smaller items in the bag since they could fall out.
The Details: 16.5 x 13.5 x 7.25 inches | Polyester | Water resistant
Best for the Beach
Carve designs treasure tote bag.
It's the perfect size to fit everything you need for a beach day (including small towel.)
We wish it had some small pockets for storing accessories.
Whether you’re en route to the beach on foot or airplane, this tote bag is specifically designed for tropical vacations. While this tote is essentially one large pocket (without smaller areas to store accessories or essentials), it's the perfect size to take with you to the beach and to lunch afterward without lugging too much around. It's stylish enough that light packers may even use this as their main vacation purse and, paired with the matching treasure clutch , everything you need will be kept organized and ready to go. We love the white cloud texture of the outer materials paired with the stylish brown straps that are both comfortable and durable.
The Details: 14.5 x 15 inches | Cotton
Best for the Office
Bandolier tote bag.
It has various pockets for a laptop, sunglasses, and a water bottle.
The tote straps could be more comfortable.
A day in the office is like a mini trip, so it’s important to be organized and have plenty of space for items when you’re away from home. The Bandolier tote bag offers a spot to pack office essentials like a laptop, a water bottle, a phone charger, snacks, a wallet, and more. The laptop pocket can fit technology up to 15 inches wide, and there is a leather sunglasses sleeve to protect fragile eyewear en route to the office. There are several other zippered and slip pockets to organize smaller items or a water bottle, and the D-ring loop on the tote handle is designed to hold other Bandolier accessories like a keychain or earbud pouch. The entire bag is made with a sleek pebbled leather, including the leather tote straps, which could be more comfortable with padding. It also comes in black, brown, and gray colorways.
The Details: 18 x 12 x 6 inches | Leather | 15-inch laptop pocket | Sunglasses pocket
Best With Shoe Compartment
Minkars weekender bag.
The bag comes with a separate shoe compartment, toiletry case, USB port, laptop pocket, and plenty of other thoughtful features for travelers.
It can get heavy when packed full.
A dupe of the iconic Béis weekender bag, this wallet-friendly version has similar features for a fraction of the price. While it’s jam-packed with helpful features for travelers, it received the highest praise for the separate compartment at the bottom of the bag that can store shoes, toiletry cases, hair tools, or any other item you want to keep separate from the main compartment. The structured bag has a wide-mouth opening and is super easy to pack thanks to the 15.6-inch laptop pocket, included toiletry case, and various other pockets for staying organized. Plus, the weekender comes with convertible straps to carry it as a tote or crossbody bag as needed, and it comes in pink, black, or cream color options.
The Details: 17 x 16.5 x 8 inches | 15.6-inch laptop pocket | Shoe compartment | Toiletry bag includes | Trolley sleeve
Best Multi-use
Dakine verge weekender tote.
It’s useful for the outdoors or traveling.
It might get heavy when it’s packed full.
This spacious tote bag from Dakine is equipped for everything from camping and beach days to trips to the office and air travel. When it comes to traveling, the bag features a padded laptop sleeve for devices up to 16 inches; a handy trolley sleeve; and a separate zippered compartment in the bottom of the bag to organize items like shoes, toiletry cases, or clothing as desired. Made with durable recycled nylon and polyester, the tote looks rugged and works well as a weekender bag for camping or for packing beach day essentials like towels and snacks. Travelers can carry the bag as a tote with the top handles or it also comes with a detachable crossbody strap.
The Details: 23.5 x 16 x 11 inches | Recycled nylon | 16-inch padded laptop pocket | Trolley sleeve
Best Organization
Troubadour carrier tote.
It has tons of pockets to stay naturally organized while traveling.
The bag might be too large to fit underneath an airplane seat.
Minimalist and practical, Troubadour’s Carrier Tote is our favorite bag for packing efficiently and staying organized on the go. The designated laptop pocket is padded and can fit devices up to 17 inches in width — the largest pocket size for laptops of all the bags recommended. In addition to the protective laptop pocket, the tote features a quick-access phone pocket; a medium-size zippered pocket for an e-reader; and several other slip pockets for items that can easily get lost at the bottom of a bag like charging cords, lip balm, and keys. The only possible downside to this sleek bag is that the 24-liter capacity and stiffer fabric makes it difficult to fit it underneath an airplane seat.
The Details: 18 x 12 x 7.5 inches | Recycled polyester, vegan leather | 17-inch laptop pocket
Best Foldable
Away the packable carryall.
It’s a very spacious tote that comes with a stuff sack to pack it away in a backpack or suitcase.
It has a flimsy shape, so small or heavy items fall to the bottom of the bag easily.
Away’s The Packable Carryall is the perfect packable tote bag to toss in a purse whether running errands or sightseeing in a city. The tote bag is incredibly spacious when it’s folded open, but it compresses down to a mere fraction of its usual size thanks to the lightweight recycled nylon material and stuff sack. Sometimes packable bags can lack travel-friendly features, so we love that the bag features a zippered top for security; a trolley sleeve for portability; and an interior zippered pocket for storing phones, wallets, and keys while on the go. To keep track of the stuff sack, there’s also a loop to secure the zippered pouch on the inside of the tote. The unstructured design of the tote means that small or heavy items with a pool at the bottom of the bag, but beach towels , jackets, or any bulkier items will fit perfectly and provide some structure to the bag.
The Details: 19.7 x 15 x 9 inches | Recycled nylon | Water resistant | Trolley sleeve

Other Travel Tote Bags We Liked
The tote bags below still came highly recommended for travelers, but didn’t quite make our list of winners.
Portland Leather Tote Bag : It’s a very portable tote bag due to the smaller size, but it isn’t the most practical for long trips with less storage and organizational features.
Bellroy Tokyo Tote : This bag has tons of pockets and storage for just about anything you would need while traveling, but it’s on the smaller side, so it could fill up quickly.
Ogio Rise Tote : The bag can be converted from a tote to a backpack, which can be helpful for travelers, but the drawstring opening is a slight drawback for security reasons.
To create this list of the best travel totes, T+L editors and trusted travel experts recommended their favorite bags they have tested on their own travel adventures. With over 30 totes tested, we whittled down our list of the best bags for any and all travelers based on capacity, portability, ease of use, and overall value. From sleek leather totes to convertible weekender bags, we handpicked various bags that we can’t recommend enough for outdoor activities, air travel, or commuting to the office.
Tips for Buying a Travel Tote
Buy for your intended activity.
Not all tote bags are best for certain types of travel, so it’s important to invest in a bag that meets your needs. Traveling somewhere wet and rainy? You’ll want to opt for a more rugged tote bag that features waterproof or resistant materials like nylon or polyester for protecting items. Leather tote bags work well for air travel or office days, but you’ll likely want to skip bringing it to the beach or for camping where a canvas tote will hold up much better to wear and tear.
Consider organization and size requirements
When it comes to traveling by air, you’ll want to look at dimensions, organization, and other helpful features like trolley sleeves, USB ports, and convertible straps. For outdoor activities like camping and beach days, a spacious and flexible tote bag can be helpful for packing bulky items. We recommend packable or foldable tote bags for travelers looking for a backup bag to keep in a purse or suitcase, rather than using it as a bag to commute or fly with since they can lack structure and organizational features.
Prioritize comfort
Tote bags can be hard on the shoulders and hands when carried for long periods of time (i.e., navigating an airport or while out and about), so we recommend looking for lightweight materials and padded straps to reduce the possible strain. Some tote bags come with convertible straps to carry the tote as a crossbody or backpack, so be sure to look for bags with modular designs or trolley sleeves to place the bag on a suitcase if you’re looking for better portability and versatility in a tote.
Frequently Asked Questions
While it depends on the size of a tote bag, more often than not, it will count as a personal item or possibly a carry-on bag if it’s large enough. A personal item usually has to fit underneath an airplane seat and if it doesn’t, it could qualify as a carry-on bag, so you’ll want to double-check the size restrictions of personal items for your specific airline since it varies greatly depending on the carrier.
Tote bags offer the ability to quickly and conveniently access items like a phone and wallet since the bag is kept closer to the front of your body compared to a backpack. Backpacks distribute the weight of your belongings better, but a comfortable tote bag should never be too cumbersome to carry. Look for features like padded handles or a convertible crossbody strap for comfort. Tote bags are also easier to take on and off while traveling, which is convenient when you’re on the go and maneuvering tight places such as airplanes, trains, and cars.

EDC Pouch Organizers: 10 Great On-the-Go Options
Published on February 5, 2024 by Karlton Miko Tyack · Everyday Carry (EDC)
Looking for an EDC carry pouch to organize your multi-tools and every piece of gear you keep? Here are 10 excellent choices.
![vertical travel pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/EDC-Pouch-Organizers-1024x1024.jpg)
When it comes to my most minimal EDC, I’ve got my flashlight , my tactical pen, my watch, and my Swiss Army Knife.
And yes, the knife stays on my person even on my lightest days. This is partly because I’m old-fashioned and partly because I love an opportunity to save the day with that corkscrew. You never know when an impromptu imbibing session will come up.
Suffice it to say, I like a lot of everyday carry. What I don’t like, however, is bulk. I also don’t like disorganization.
When I’m in a full suit and tie at work, I don’t want my outfit’s silhouette interrupted. And when I need to slice open a package, I want to be able to quickly draw my knife like an action hero.
Fortunately, a good EDC organizer pouch can ensure all of this. Let’s take a look at 10 of them.
Here are our recommendations from the list:
![vertical travel pouch Stashlogix - Highland 3.0 Locking Stash Pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Stashlogix-Highland-3.0-Locking-Stash-Pouch.webp)
This activated carbon pouch is a blend of durability and deodorizing prowess. With optional shoulder strap loops, it offers versatile carrying options. Plus, rest assured with the zipper lock, ensuring peace of mind for your valuables.
![vertical travel pouch VIPERADE - VE18-S Small EDC Pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Viperade-VE18-Small-EDC-Pouch.webp)
The Viperade VE18 EDC Pouch offers ample hidden storage, reminiscent of Narnia, with three layers including two sides and a zipper, suitable for storing notebooks and various knives.
![vertical travel pouch Hitch and Timber - The County Fold](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Hitch-and-Timber-County-Fold.webp)
American-made with gear and wallet storage in thick leather. Includes tool pouches and ample flat storage, with a wallet section and two extra compartments.
Read on for more info and the complete list…
10 Best EDC Organizers
Here they are, in no particular order. All styles (most being pocket-sized) and budgets are, of course, taken into account!
Stashlogix Highland 3.0 Locking Stash Pouch
The handsome Highland 3.0 Locking Pouch is made out of activated carbon, which means it’s durable and even deodorizing. Trust me, there’s a lot of benefit to a smell-proof EDC pouch.
![vertical travel pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Stashlogix-Highland-3.0-Locking-Stash-Pouch.jpg)
You’re welcome to use your imagination, but I often like to keep a piece of garlic-flavored beef jerky on me for snack attacks.
It also comes with shoulder strap loops if that’s how you want to carry it. And heck, that army-esque olive green mixed with the khaki tone? It’s pretty stylish, so why not show it off?
My favorite part about this pouch is the fact the zipper locks, ensuring security and confidence. It’s like the future of EDC pouches.
Viperade VE18 Small EDC Pouch
The Viperade VE18 EDC Pouch has so much hidden room; it’s like the Narnia of EDC pouches. There are three layers of storage systems: Two sides and a zipper. You can keep anything in this, from notebooks to fixed and folding knives.
![vertical travel pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Viperade-VE18-Small-EDC-Pouch.jpg)
Even more, you’ve got some clever exterior pocket storage options. The front features webbing for anything you want to be able to grab with immediacy.
Meanwhile, the back is equipped with a velcro surface. That is a truly efficient use of every square inch of this carrier.
And by the way, I’ve used both the webbing and the velcro. Thankfully, having items on the exterior of the pouch doesn’t affect its pocketability.
Oh, and it gets extra cool factor points for that rubber Viperade logo with the snake-themed embossing on it.
Hide & Drink Multi-Tool Pocket Pouch
One of the things I find delightful about the Hide & Drink Pocket Pouch is its aesthetic. It reminds me of the army-inspired khaki rucksacks I loved in high school. One of its biggest strengths, functionally, is that one side is dedicated completely to a zippered storage.
![vertical travel pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Hide-and-Drink-Multi-Tool-Pocket-Pouch.jpg)
The non-zipper side can fit a simple pen, a knife, a small flashlight, and a small journal . Then, you can use the zipper storage as basically your wallet. Put cash, keys, bandages, IDs, snacks, a phone battery pack, what have you. It really ups the pouch’s bandwidth for storage.
They’re also handmade, so each carrier is a bit different, giving it an artisanal quality.
Stashlogix Durango Locking Sling Bag
Okay, so this Durango Sling Bag isn’t pocketable, but I figured I’d give you guys some options. Like the other Stashlogix entry, this carrier is strong, smell-proof, and is outfitted with a combination lock.
![vertical travel pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Stashlogix-Durango-Locking-Sling-Bag.jpg)
Inside, there are five whole sections divided by mesh. This way, your EDC stays organized, but you can still see and feel where everything is without confusion.
Style-wise, it’s an interesting take on a fanny pack. It’s a completely tactical remix, making it look more functional and less tacky. I think it looks pretty snazzy.
Hitch and Timber Pocket Tool Pouch
The Hitch and Timber Pocket Tool Pouch is simple yet efficient. It’s one of the best EDC pouches for minimal traveling. The zippered back has two tool carriers, and the front has a slip for phones, journals, or other relatively flat items.
![vertical travel pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Hitch-and-Timber-Pocket-Tool-Pouch.jpg)
So, the back middle zip is really convenient. The pouches on each side of the zipper can be used for pens, thin flashlights, and long pieces of gear in general. However, since nothing folds over the zipper itself, it’s easy to access anything you put in the zip storage, whether that’s cash or lip balm.
It’s an incomparably easy and user-friendly system. Plus, the canvas patinates beautifully, so it really tells your story.
Bradley Mountain Waxed Canvas Pocket Knife Roll Bag
Nothing makes you feel like a swashbuckler more than having a knife roll. The Bradley Mountain Pocket Knife Roll boasts seven whole pockets designed for knives . This is perfect if you can never decide whether to bring your drop point or your clip point.
![vertical travel pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Bradley-Mountain-Waxed-Canvas-Pocket-Knife-Roll-Bag.jpg)
Basically, if you’ve got a collection, this roll is for you.
The best part is that you can use these pockets for anything that will fit them: Flashlights, pens, rolled-up cash, anything really.
Once you’ve filled the slots, you’ll roll up that dapper waxed canvas, then wrap it up with an equally attractive leather strap.
Alpaca Zip Pouch Pro
If you’re not a notebook carrier, then the Alpaca Zip Pouch Pro is certainly one of the most efficient EDC pouches on the market. In fact, I deign to say that it might be the most efficient — again if you journal on your notes app instead of a physical book.
![vertical travel pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Alpaca-Zip-Pouch-Pro.jpg)
This fan-favorite pouch features a large tool holder on one side and two smaller ones on the other. Additionally, you’ve got a smaller zip facility on the side, which is perfect for flat items like single keys or even matches.
Then, the top zip serves as your wallet. You can still fit smaller EDCs in there, too, though, like mini knives and telescopic pens.
Tooletries Waterproof Mini Toiletry Kit
Are you out on the water a lot? (I’m talking to you fishermen, sailors, and Seattlites). Well, I recommend using a waterproof toiletry holder for your EDC. But don’t go for any toiletry holder.
![vertical travel pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Tooletries-Waterproof-Mini-Toiletry-Kit.jpg)
This kit from Tooletries is perfect for EDC because it’s made out of flexible and durable silicone and is leak-resistant on top of being waterproof. You can even keep small pieces of technology in there.
Conceivably, the designers of this kit had tools in mind over shampoo and conditioner. Feel free to use it for either or both, though.
Arc Company Marksman EDC Slip
The Marksman EDC Slip from Arc Company is incredibly slim. It sinks right into your pocket pretty invisibly.
![vertical travel pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Arc-Company-Marksman-EDC-Slip.jpg)
Still, if you carry simple items like pocket tools or a non-tactical pen, this is the guy for you. Actually, the middle pouch on the front is pretty sizable, considering how thin the construction is.
Meanwhile, the flat slip can fit a standard five-and-a-half-inch journal.
The third slip in the back is good for cards, cash, and other flat items.
Hitch and Timber County Fold
For you leather lovers out there, may I introduce you to Hitch and Timber’s County Fold . This American-made piece features both gear organizing and wallet-style storage in its thick leather composition.
![vertical travel pouch](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Hitch-and-Timber-County-Fold.jpg)
Keep in mind, though, that since the material is so supple and strong, it’ll take breaking in like any good leather item .
In addition to the tool pouches, there’s a lot of storage for flat items. Inside, there’s a wallet portion, which is a bit like the pocket of a good passport carrier. There are also two flat storage behind the tool storage.
It’s a good EDC pouch for those of you who like to keep a lot of small things versus just a few bigger items.

Conclusion: A Place for Your Daily Essentials
I hope that was helpful! Obviously, everyone’s needs vary when it comes to everyday carry pouch organizers.
And if you’re me, there’s a style factor to consider, too.

![vertical travel pouch away-the-everywhere-backpack.jpg](https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2022/06/10/8bd10ef1-2325-49a1-a5ac-e58b24defd75/thumbnail/620x620/89effffee3b43deed212a0d4c1cdc00b/away-the-everywhere-backpack.jpg?v=25685eaa472b1a5dbb5bd46ae506d232#)
Away's The Everywhere zip backpack contains plenty of features that will make lugging your personal items en route a breeze. You'll find multiple organizational pockets within, including one for a reusable water bottle , your tablet , glasses case, snacks and more. There's also a key clip and enough catch-all space to store your headphones and a hoodie for the inevitably cold plane.
Behind the handle is another large zipped compartment that can house laptops up to 15 inches . You'll be able to carry this comfortably while in transit thanks to the backpack's padded backing and straps. However, if you need a break, rest easy knowing that the backpack comes equipped with a trolley sleeve.
The Everywhere has a lot going for it, but our favorite feature, and something we don't see often enough in other travel backpacks, is how the bag opens. The bag opens like a clamshell, making it so much easier to see all your travel essentials as well as access them quickly.
![vertical travel pouch bellroy-transit-backpack.jpg](https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/08/20/904f0f16-2e3f-41cd-9cc9-8904ed27f5e2/thumbnail/620x567/a51c92a4d3e7f18cc68ab6e1ba82ae70/screenshot-2024-08-20-at-10-56-12-am.png?v=25685eaa472b1a5dbb5bd46ae506d232#)
This extra roomy backpack is great for over-packers, as it's about double the size of your average travel backpack. The backpack has so much extra space that it comes with a compression strap in its main compartment. This is great, as it allows you to pack a change of clothes in case the airline loses your luggage , or you find yourself caught up in a long flight delay.
There's also a large mesh pocket where you can store more clothes, and then a smaller mesh zip compartment on top of that that's big enough for small toiletries. The exterior is outfitted with a pocket for your water bottle, a slip pocket on the straps for AirPods, a zipped compartment on top of the bag specifically for your sunglasses , and a roomy front zipped pocket (outfitted with organization compartments, of course) to hold your phone , passport, wallet and pens. Traveling with your laptop ? There's a dedicated space for that too.
And if you're worried about carrying such a heavy load, you may be relieved to know that the backpack has a contoured back panel, padded shoulder straps and a sternum strap to help with comfort.
Regularly $259, you can get this backpack at Belroy for $179.
![vertical travel pouch fjall.jpg](https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2022/06/10/6d8ea63a-4262-4edd-8a7f-3eab4992986a/thumbnail/620x620/7d6839056198d016eff586440ded1c27/fjall.jpg?v=25685eaa472b1a5dbb5bd46ae506d232#)
One of our favorite back-to-school backpacks also makes for a great travel backpack for those who pack light. The main compartment offers enough space for in-flight necessities, including a water bottle, a 15" laptop, snacks, a jacket and more, while the front pocket is great for storing personal items you need to grab quickly, such as your passport, wallet and smartphone .
What we like about the Kanken is the fact that it comes with a padded foam backing, which will make carrying this Fjallraven backpack a lot more comfortable. And since the backing is removable, you can also use it as a cushion in case you need extra support while sitting on airport seats or the floor.
Another perk? There are 39 color options available at Amazon, ranging from terracotta brown to flamingo pink. (Price varies by color.) Order from Fjallraven direct and you can fully customize the colors and accents on the backpack.
Most affordable travel backpack: Amazon Basics carry-on backpack
![vertical travel pouch amazon-basics-backpack.jpg](https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2022/06/10/b56fb737-84f3-4bb6-abab-91080b273ed4/thumbnail/620x620/78dc8eae3ec9b9f30ee8891613a40934/amazon-basics-backpack.jpg?v=25685eaa472b1a5dbb5bd46ae506d232#)
Don't have an extra $100 plus to spend on a travel backpack? No problem. This affordable Amazon Basics carry-on backpack will get the job done. The backpack is roomy and built for comfort with its four zipped storage compartments, padded back and straps, sternum strap and waist belt.
The four compartments include a laptop sleeve, a large front pocket and front top pocket and a main compartment that has some pockets on the inside for greater organization. We really like the compression features available, which aren't as common in other travel backpacks. These include interior and exterior compression straps as well as a compression zipper for the main compartment.
Wondering what other travelers think of this backpack? Do know that it has a 4.4-star rating on Amazon. One customer wrote , "I bought this backpack before our trip to Europe for a couple weeks and it worked great. Considering the low price I was surprised with the quality and durability. It has plenty of pockets but not too many plus the zippers are very smooth. I'm glad I bought this one instead of the more expensive brands."
Best splurge travel backpack: Tumi Celina backpack
![vertical travel pouch 1465662693-main.jpg](https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/08/20/f1ff65bf-1bb3-4b9b-b30f-71bdcd97078a/thumbnail/620x753/09d83aa9c653fa1752fd4fce7cf0f1d1/1465662693-main.jpg?v=25685eaa472b1a5dbb5bd46ae506d232#)
If you've got money to spend, treat yourself to this luxurious travel backpack from Tumi. The Celina, part of the Voyageur collection, is stunning with its striking gold hardware and leather details throughout, including the top handle and the detachable charm that can be monogrammed with your initials.
The backpack has eight compartments that'll fit everything you need on your jaunt, including two main compartments, one specifically for your laptops (a Windows 15" and Mac 16" specifically) and other large travel necessities. There is also a water-resistant side pocket for water bottles or small toiletries and a quick-access phone pocket at the top of the backpack.
And don't worry about its good looks fading over time. The bag has been treated with a water- and stain-resistant coating to increase its longevity.
Pictured is the black model, but you can also get this in other colors, including olive, mauve (with silver hardware) and black with gunmetal hardware.
![vertical travel pouch travelpro-backpack.jpg](https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/08/20/b523c6d5-4afa-4fe6-8bfa-5cd7f7493798/thumbnail/620x620/5883eb7a93f632039388f0b2d1075d82/409180605-1.jpg?v=25685eaa472b1a5dbb5bd46ae506d232#)
Although marketed for business travelers, this Travelpro business backpack will be appreciated by all with its impressive features. The backpack has six roomy zipped compartments that can fit plenty of personal items big and small. The two main compartments each have a padded laptop sleeve able to fit computers or tablets up to 15.6 inches, making this an excellent laptop backpack for everyday use .
You'll find a series of storage pockets in the small and one of the main storage compartments, giving you dedicated spaces to put your phone charger, laptop charger, earbuds and more. We really appreciate the unique RFID-blocking pouch located in the front pocket, which should help protect credit cards and passports from identity theft.
We also appreciate the padding throughout the back as well as the sternum strap and trolley sleeve. What's more, the handle and trim are leather, adding a level of luxury to such an incredibly functional piece of luggage.
![vertical travel pouch monos-metro-backpack.jpg](https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2022/06/10/ef074c1e-9d73-4a5e-a167-a77e6f0b4b20/thumbnail/620x620/7bf7b18bbb0b63e930f9693889bcf63a/monos-metro-backpack.jpg?v=25685eaa472b1a5dbb5bd46ae506d232#)
This backpack was actually designed for more than just travel, with the brand recommending shoppers take this with them on their daily work commutes in addition to weekend getaways. The material can certainly hold up with daily use, as the vegan leather and nylon options were made to be scratch- and water-resistant.
The backpack has two main compartments, including one for a laptop (up to 15") and another that contains the brand's "privacy compartment", a waterproof storage space for your water bottle, toiletries or damp clothes.
The Monos Metro also has a front pouch that actually detaches, allowing you to carry around your most important items without having to lug the backpack around. This can come in handy while waiting to check into your hotel room, or if you're exploring a city for a short amount of time and want to store your luggage in a locker.

This Dagne Dover bag is a great option for people looking for a durable travel backpack that is also stylish. The Dakota neoprene backpack is quite trendy with its monochrome design and athleisure chic vibe. The colors also add to its allure, offering interesting hues such as a Piña, a light yellow with green undertones, Dune, a mauve with brown undertones, dark moss, and more. There are are also three mesh options, which gives the backpack an even greater edge style-wise.
The large backpack (pictured) comes with a main compartment that has a mesh laptop sleeve that can fit computers up to 16 inches. That laptop is made even more secure with an included fastener. It also has two vertical interior pockets, two mesh slip pockets, a key leash, and comes with a zipper pouch and a dust bag for your shoes.
The exterior of the bag has two water bottle pockets and three small pockets (one on the top of the backpack and two on either side) where you can store your phone, passport and wallet. What's more, the Dakota is made of 23 recycled water bottles.
Best Value travel backpack: Beis The Backpack
![vertical travel pouch beis323460-thebackpack-navy-product-side-5260.jpg](https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/08/21/900e58d6-d24a-46a1-be96-d3a7cbdb2287/thumbnail/620x930/60ce13ef0dbfcb1f89440fef21530705/beis323460-thebackpack-navy-product-side-5260.jpg?v=25685eaa472b1a5dbb5bd46ae506d232#)
Beis The Backpack is a great mid-range option for shoppers seeking to get a quality travel backpack for less than $100. We can attest to Beis' quality, as one of our CBS Essentials shopping experts tested out the brand's The Medium Check-In for an international trip and loved the luggage .
The Backpack is made of cotton, which is refreshing considering a lot of travel backpacks, even ones priced much higher than this Beis' bag, are made of synthetic fabrics. It comes with a padded laptop pocket, a trolley sleeve, two slip pockets for reusable water bottles and a front zipped compartment with organization pockets and a key leash.
The interior contains a compression strap and two large zipped compartments, including a pvc-lined one specifically for your toiletries. You can get these in one of eight colors, including navy, slate (a baby blue), olive, pink and beige.

The best and worst airports to have a red-eye flight, according to a travel expert who flies 200,000 miles a year
- Travel expert Gilbert Ott shared his favorite and least-favorite airports for red-eye flights.
- Ott emphasizes the importance of sleeping on the plane, and arriving refreshed.
- He highlights the role of restful lounges, healthy food, and transit ease at airports.
![vertical travel pouch Insider Today](https://www.businessinsider.com/public/assets/BI/US/logos/newsletters/insider-today-logo.png)
Flying through the night can be ideal for those trying to save time while traveling long distances — assuming you can sleep and arrive feeling refreshed, Gilbert Ott told Business Insider.
And he would know — the travel expert who flies 200,000 miles a year on average has had his fair share of red-eye flight experiences.
"People shouldn't hate on red-eyes — I think they can be really cool," he said. "But you don't want to show up haggard."
Ott added that restful lounges, healthy food, and ease of transit can make some airports better for red-eye flights compared to others. He shared with BI his favorite and least favorite airports for nighttime flights.
Los Angeles International Airport is one of the best for red-eyes with a wide variety of healthy eateries, Ott said.
"Most red-eyes involve jet lag because you're usually crossing a time zone, which is the reason for the red-eye," Ott told BI. "I try to eat before I fly on a red-eye because sleeping on the plane is vital . You want to try to get all the Zs you can."
When it comes to departure airports for night flights, Ott appreciates having healthy food options.
"I don't want to eat greasy fast food before I hop on a plane for six hours," he added. "I like a place that has a Chopped, a sushi kiosk, poke bowls, or anything that's a little bit lighter and easier to manage."
For example, Ott said Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has various healthy eateries, from the lounges to the food courts.
At LAX, travelers will find soups, salads, smoothies, and avocado toast.
"That's a game changer because then you can eat before you fly and get all the rest you need," he said. "And when you get on the plane, it's just about maximizing the rest."
John F. Kennedy International Airport also has quality food options, in Ott's opinion.
Like LAX, John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) has healthy options, Ott noted.
"They've done a good job of courting in a few decent restaurants," he said. "They have lots of lounges and there are lots of ways you can access the lounges ."
Ott highlights the Amex Centurion Lounge and the Chase Sapphire Lounge , which has dishes like farm-raised Atlantic salmon over braised leeks for light, healthy options.
"All of these spaces do a better job than fast food," he added.
And there's no better sushi than at Tokyo International Airport, Ott said.
At Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) , Ott said he's dined on the best sushi he's ever had.
"You can get it before your flight and carry it on," he said. "I love that."
Singapore Changi Airport is a great option for red-eyes because of the array of food and lounges, in Ott's experience.
" Singapore Changi Airport is always the leading G.O.A.T. of local food stalls," Ott said. "Some of the best local food is at the airport because famous places in Singapore set up locations there."
Ott added that the airport has impressive lounges with luxury amenities.
To Ott, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport is another leading airport for local cuisine.
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport is another airport with a wide selection of local foods, Ott said.
"They've tried to flip the model of having big chains and have hyper-local places that deliver an authentic Parisian experience," Ott told BI.
"Travel can feel very stale. It can feel very boring. So I think when you bring in something that makes people feel like they're in a certain place — that's a really cool thing," he added.
Ott said Stockholm Arlanda Airport is one of the best for red-eye arrivals because it's easy to get to your destination.
When it comes to red-eye arrivals, centrally located airports with efficient mass transit are ideal, Ott told BI.
"Proximity to the city is the biggest clutch thing for red eyes. I would shout out that Stockholm Arlanda Airport has amazing train links," he said. "They leave all the time, they're reasonably priced, and it takes 20 minutes to get to the center of town."
Conversely, Ott said Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is one of the worst for red-eyes because it serves mostly fast food.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is generally a good airport — especially for lounges, Ott said. Still, its restaurants make it less ideal for red-eye departures.
"Atlanta's food options are weak," he said. "It's very fast-food-oriented."
While London Heathrow Airport can be great for some arrival passengers with lounge access, it's one of the worst for departing red-eyes because it's tough to get around.
Ott said that Unlike Stockholm, London Heathrow Airport isn't well-connected, making it a drag for red-eye flights.
"I hate Heathrow for departure for red eyes," he said. "There aren't many of them, but it's just a long grinding airport — everything is disjointed."
At the same time, Ott said Heathrow can be great for arrivals if you're a rewards member of Virgin Atlantic or British Airways — which have lounges exclusively for arriving passengers.
"A great red-eye experience occurs when airlines curate it for frequent flyers or business-class travelers , including what they need when they land," he said.
For example, Virgin Atlantic's arrival lounge offers custom breakfasts and shower suites.
"They have the perfect setup for helping you freshen up," he said. "A lot of red-eye customers are flying for work and don't want to show up to work smelling like a sewer without having brushed their teeth."
Ott has found that small regional airports are some of the worst for red-eyes — like Hollywood Burbank.
Not many small regional airports have red-eye flights, according to Ott.
"For the most part, red-eyes are more focused on those hub cities where they get people from all the regional airports into their big flying hub and then ship them off from there," he said. "Most red-eyes have a transatlantic or transcontinental demand, with very few exceptions."
He added that one of these exceptions is Hollywood Burbank Airport in California, which has red-eye flights to New York.
Hollywood Burbank has fewer food and lounge options than larger hub airports , which Ott understands because regional airports are smaller.
"I think there's just an inherent advantage to being a big airport because big airports can attract retail," he said.
However, it's worth noting that Hollywood Burbank Airport has one of the shortest walks to the gate in the US.
