Make travel more bearable: Carry-on restrictions with endless lines at security and flight delays -

Let's face it, these days, air travel consists of one hassle after another. 

For those of us who don't have private jets, the editors at men.style.com, the online home of Details and GQ, have scoured the globe to find 20 gadgets, services, and places that are making travel just a bit more bearable. In fact, before you know it, you may even enjoy traveling again.  
 
 Highlights include: 
 
Clear Registered Traveler:

this new security screening system that gets you from check-in to takeoff in a matter of minutes. For $100 a year, CRT members undergo thorough background checks and receive special cards that let them bypass conventional security lines.

Ritz Carlton's Luggage-less Travel service:

if you're a frequent visitor to a particular Ritz Carlton outpost, you can leave your stuff in your room at check-out and staffers will launder your clothes and store them until your next visit, as well as stock your bathroom with your favorite products.

SynCh Charger:

recently introduced by British tech firm MDI, this all in one gadget charger let's you juice up your iPod, cell or laptop while you are on the road. Simply plug the SynCh into any American or European outlet (it works with both) and connect your device using one of the USB or power ports.

New menus on Delta Business Elite:

finally breaking the stereotype of airplane food, Delta's new menus were developed by Food Network celeb and restaurateur Michelle Bernstein. With the menu changing monthly, these five course meals are paired with nearly 20 global wines or signature cocktails. 

US Helicopter:

the hellish drive from Manhattan to JFK has ruined many a vacation before they've even started. Since March, though, U.S. Helicopter has cut that commute to nine pain- free minutes. You can now enjoy the NYC skyline on for just $159 each way, just twice the price of a car service, and even check your bags at the heliport, eliminating the wait at security. 

Ikarus at the Salzburg Airport:

this contemporary pan-European restaurant receives monthly guest-visits by the world's top chefs. They'll debut their dishes in a soaring glass-and-steel dining room whose design  and dishes are a world away from the typical terminal food court.

Wi-Fi Skype Phone by Belkin:

Belkin's new Skype-enabled Wi-Fi phone, which offers free calling to fellow Skypers and low-cost calling to everyone else, is easy to carry and at only $159, easy to afford. 

Rozerem Sleeping Pills:

this is the first prescription sleeping pill that shows no potential for abuse or dependence and won't leave you with a nasty headache. It targets the body' s master clock and encourages it to naturally shift into sleep mode.
