Luggage locks keep your stuff safe, of course, but they need to be the right ones. Look for TSA compliant locks made out of specific alloys, and that are designed to be opened and closed without needing to give out the combination by airport security employees.

Smells are going to happen, whether they're in your shoes, on your clothes, or in your luggage. Deodorizing balls can be handy on the go, as you can just throw them in and let them do the work as you keep rolling.
