INNOVATIONS FOR TRAVEL IN 2025
During the travel season, we’re constantly bombarded by social media and advertisements on various channels, showcasing travel hacks and accessories that claim to revolutionize our travel experiences. Truth be told, many aren’t as innovative or useful as they seem. To simplify your life, we’ve compiled the top three travel innovations that genuinely enhance your travel experience.
Smart Suitcases
This innovation promises to revolutionize the way we travel. The term “smart suitcase” is broad, englobing various types with different in-built systems and functions. Generally, it refers to any suitcase equipped with electronic components. Smart suitcases come in many sizes, but you most commonly find them as carry-ons.
In the market, you’ll find basic options with a built-in power bank or tracking chip for security. These are great for budget-conscious travelers who know how challenging it can be to find an available and working outlet at the airport or how terrifying it is to lose sight of your luggage. For those willing to invest more, three standout features are:
- In-Built Scale: This feature indicates if you’ve exceeded weight limits, eliminating the need for a portable scale or unpleasant surprises when checking baggage.
- Motorized Suitcase: This can be used as regular luggage or driven as an electric scooter in a seated or standing position at speeds up to 12 kilometers per hour—ideal for long journeys with extensive walking.
- Self-Driving Smart Suitcase: Powered by AI, this luggage follows you around, ensuring a hands-free experience and avoiding obstacles. Note, however, that it may be heavier due to its internal battery and power systems.
It is advisable to check any restrictions on in-built technology by your airline beforehand.
Innovative Travel Pillow
As we enter 2025, it’s key to be aware of the innovations around travel wellness, for example the Original Plus travel pillow from Be Relax. This design features an adjustable front-chin support, keeping you away from neck strain and muscle stiffness. Its 360-degree ergo-smart shape reduces neck pressure, adding height on both sides to reinforce and support your neck. The package includes an ultra-compact travel pouch for reducing pillow size and a reusable heat patch to ease neck tension. Find the pillows in two colors, in any Be Relax spa worldwide.
Best Travel Apps
As technology continues to simplify travel with new products, travel apps keep pace with innovative ways to search for flights, discover new destinations, and track upcoming trips. For instance:
Flighty: The most comprehensive flight-tracking app on the market. Flighty provides real-time updates, often before official airline announcements. You can track the selected aircraft 25 hours before departure to anticipate delays due to weather or other factors. Plus, it allows you to share flight details with family or friends, keeping them updated on your flying conditions.
Wanderlog: Ideal for group travel, this app lets you collaborate with friends in real time, similar to Google Docs for travelers. It includes expense tracking, considering your budget, and splitting travel costs among your companions—all shared in real time with your tripmates. Additional features include creating packing lists, receiving destination-based recommendations, and uploading flight and hotel details to centralize information in one app, eliminating the need to switch between multiple apps.
Timeshifter: The comprehensive science based app that promises to reduce your jetlag by readjusting your circadian clock. By controlling the timing of light exposure and avoidance correctly. In this app you can create a personalized jet lag plan, based on your sleep pattern, itinerary and personal preferences.
We hope these innovations will enhance your travels in 2025. Don’t forger to visit our locations and follow our social media for daily dose of wellness.
