10 Travel Products TikTok Can’t Stop Talking About

Jetset Jack | Travel Gear Tips

Let’s be honest – TikTok is a dangerous place when you’re meant to be saving for flights. One minute you’re watching dog videos, the next you’re adding a USB-charging carry-on to your cart. But in the name of research (and a little retail therapy), I’ve tested or stalked all the top travel products TikTok can’t shut up about – and picked 10 that are actually worth packing, especially for Kiwis and Aussies on the move.

1. Compression Packing Cubes

These aren’t your mum’s packing cubes. These babies zip down into a compact cube, squeezing out air and giving you up to 60% more space. Perfect for when Jetstar tells you your carry-on is overweight.

2. Portable Espresso Maker

Kiwis and Aussies love a good flat white, and TikTok knows it. This handheld espresso machine has gone viral for making legit café-style coffee – from a campervan, a long-haul flight, or a beach in Bali.

3. Silicone Travel Bottles That Don’t Leak

These soft, squeezy refillable bottles have flip-top lids and a cult following for a reason: they won’t burst all over your toiletries bag at 30,000 feet. Also TSA-approved – not that it matters unless you’re flying out of LAX.

4. All-In-One Universal Travel Adaptor (With USB-C)

TikTok is obsessed, and rightly so. This universal plug fits over 150 countries and includes multiple USB ports *plus* a USB-C. Ideal for Europe, the UK, Bali, and even when you’re plugging into some weird wall in a London hostel.

5. Airplane Bluetooth Adapter

Ever wanted to use your AirPods on the in-flight system? This adapter plugs into the plane’s audio jack and connects to your Bluetooth headphones. Genius. And yes it works on Air New Zealand, Emirates, Qantas, and more.

6. Hanging Toiletry Bag with a Built-In Mirror

This clever design unfolds and hangs from any hook or rail, making it a breeze to use in tiny bathrooms, backpacker hostels, or cruise cabins. Bonus: a detachable mirror that actually stays put.

7. 100% Blackout Sleep Mask

TikTokers are swearing by these memory foam masks that block light *and* pressure. Great for long-haul flights or bright hotel rooms in Europe where blackout curtains are apparently optional.

8. Solid Toiletries: Shampoo Bars & Lotion Sticks

Aussie and Kiwi TikTokers love this hack for cutting down liquids. Try solid shampoo, conditioner, or lotion sticks to save space and skip the liquid restrictions at security.

9. Personal Item Backpack with a Luggage Sleeve

TikTok is full of airport girlies packing for Europe using this exact backpack. Fits under most airline seats (even Jetstar), slides over your suitcase handle, and holds more than it should.

10. Flight Phone Mount

Clip this to your tray table and watch Netflix hands-free on your phone. Genius for long flights, train rides, or ignoring your ex’s texts while solo travelling through Italy.

Final Word from Jetset Jack

Some TikTok travel gadgets are all hype, but these 10 are packing-game changers. Whether you’re off on your big OE, chasing sunsets in Fiji, or popping over to Melbourne for the weekend – these finds are worth their carry-on space.
