Travellers have been raving about a backpack dubbed the comfiest and most practical on the market – and after caving to the hype and trying it myself, I have to agree. 

The Osprey Fairview 40 Travel Pack is a must-have for globetrotters and is sized to meet most domestic carry-on requirements.

There are two variations – one designed to suit women’s torsos and another for men’s; it also doubles as travel luggage with a side strap.

The main compartment has a huge zipper opening with a generous amount of room inside along with an upper pocket for small essentials and compression straps to cinch everything down. 

While the bag has a higher end price tag of $499 on Amazon Australia – I can assure you it’s worth every dollar.

Last year I travelled to the UK and Europe for seven weeks and used the backpack along with a 23kg suitcase. The essentials were packed in the bag (pictured) and the multiple compartments have been designed to make life easier

As a seasoned traveller myself, I’ve tried countless bags, suitcases and luggage – and this pack is by far the best. 

The design is compact and flawless as everything has been designed with the goal of making it as easy as possible to get from A to B.

It’s available in four shades – black, jungle blue, night blue and red – and there’s a laptop sleeve and small top pocket for must-haves like headphones and snacks. 

A backpack also ensures you have both hands free at all times.

The buy has received hundreds of rave reviews online, with happy customers labelling the buy the ‘best travel bag ever’. 

One wrote: ‘I love this bag, it’s very comfortable and has a lot of space. Great that you can adjust the height depending on how long your torso is.’ 

Another said: ‘I chose this bag because it will be so versatile for flying and camping… I climbed a mountain wearing it and never had a problem with fit or it rubbing me on the shoulders even carrying a full load with a sleeping bag tied on the outside.’

‘I just used this pack for three weeks with a huge variety of travelling styles. Steps, elevation climbs, buses. This pack exceeded all of my expectations. I am 69 years old and this pack made it so much easier to travel,’ another added.

Another travel essential is the $39 Loop earplugs

When I went overseas for seven weeks last year I purchased a number of best sellers ahead of time that made the trip a breeze. 

The $49 Cabeau Evolution S3 Travel Pillow went viral on TikTok last year – and for good reason. It’s designed with convenient little straps to attach onto the head seat of the plane, making it easier to fall sleep. 

Alternatively the Trtl travel neck pillow also gained swift popularity thanks to its internal support system.

The hidden support provides ‘premium comfort’ using the ‘loop wrap and nap’ method and keeps your head and neck in an ergonomic position while you sleep – preventing the dreaded ‘head bobbing’.

Those who opt to stay in hostels and go camping may wish to purchase the SOMOYA Sleeping Bag Liners Camping Sheet from $40.15; those who have tried it dubbed it a ‘life saver’ when staying in budget accommodation.
