Got the HB blender as recommended via Amazon Prime. It arrived. It is good for powder for sure and ripe softer fruits. The SS container doubles as your cup. It slips over the blender for a compact package for travelling.

The issue of bringing a stick blender is looking for or bringing a cup that will hold what you intend to blend with margin to keep the splatter to a minimum. With the traditional blender you can fill up the cup and the lid prevents splattering.

This is as portable as you can get, but not very powerful. You can get probably get it cheaper locally. I had one for a long time. The plastic whisk detaches and the whole thing is about the size of a pocket flashlight. It's smaller and lighter than an Aerolatte frother.
It's powerful enough to scramble 2 eggs (slowly and laboriously) and mix protein shakes (also slowly, and add liquid gradually).

The Hamilton Beach single serve blender is comprised of the motor base, the cup/blade unit, and the top cover. Since the cup and blades are all one unit you don't have to disassemble it to clean it. I think it's a great compact blender but at a bit less than 2 pounds I would REALLY have to want a blender to lug it along on a flight.
