From trackable suitcases to stylish carryons, the May 2022 travel trends reveal that many consumers are looking to upgrade their luggage.
After a few years of limited travel options, many consumers are once again booking trips to far off destinations. In anticipation of this spike in travel, many brands have rolled out a host of new luggage options that mean traveler's new habits and preferences. For instance, the Tag Smart Collection by Samsara was created specifically with Apple AirTag technology so that consumers can easily track their suitcases with the Find My app for iPhone. On the other hand, products like the Mother Lode bag cater to low-maintenance travelers looking for lightweight, yet versatile carryons.
The May 2022 travel trends show that travel accessories for pets are also on the rise. For instance, Maxbone's new Travel Home and Car Seat is a multi-functional pet bed that's perfectly designed for travel.
