BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - Jun 7, 2011) - On Sunday, June 19th, dads across America and around the world will be honored by their loved ones on Father's Day. Wondering what to get for the world's number one dad this year? Cheapflights.com, the online leader in finding and publishing travel deals, suggests there's no need to settle on the typical, tired choices of golf clubs and ties. If dad is an avid traveler, consider one of Cheapflights.com's Top 10 Father's Day Travel Gadgets that are clever, affordable and suitable for dads who travel on business, for adventure or simply for fun with the family.

Below are five of Cheapflights.com's Top 10 Father's Day Travel Gadgets for the frequent flyer father.

  • Kodak PlaySport Video Camera - When you want to shoot video without lugging around a large camcorder, the palm-sized PlaySport is a nifty hand-sized alternative. It shoots in 1080p HD video and has software for simple social media sharing to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Perhaps its most family-friendly feature is that Kodak engineered the PlaySport to be tough: it has great image stabilization, a hard shell in case it's dropped, and is water resistant for up to 10 feet.
  • Walkin' Bag - If you're traveling with little ones, an older parent, or your own sore back, having a place to sit can be invaluable in long lines and crowded airports. Swany America makes a line of carry-ons and suitcases with built-in, fold-out seats that hold up to 300 pounds. No more sitting on the floor or crushing your luggage by using it as a makeshift seat.
  • Revolve - If you've dealt with dead batteries while hiking, camping, rafting -- or just being away from the power grid -- you know how frustrating the lack of power can be. To the rescue are Revolve's solar-powered chargers that let you recharge more than 3000 different types of devices -- including iPhones, iPads and BlackBerrys. The built-in battery also doubles as an emergency power source.
  • Otterbox - There's nothing worse than getting your phone, keys, wallet, and other electronics and essentials crushed, stomped on, chewed, or drowned in water. Solving that is OtterBox, maker of protective cases for phones, electronics, cameras and other valuables that protect against scratches, drops, water, and almost everything else you can submit them to.
  • Bento Diaper Bag by Skip Hop - These are more than just diaper bags -- they're multifunctional mini-luggage with enough compartments and pouches to carry everything needed. They attach to nearly any stroller, and even have insulated cooler compartments for food and snacks. Watch out -- they're so cool, Dads may want to use them instead of a briefcase for everyday commuting.

PacSafe, Theft Defender, Belle Hop Travel Door Alarm, Eton Raptor Emergency Radio and Lotuff and Clegg products round out the top 10 list.
