Reading Time: 8 minAmazon's Prime Big Deal Days might be over, but many deals are still available. So if you missed out on the two-day event earlier this week, it's not too late.
We've put together a list of our favorite "must have" deals when it comes to travel, including items that are still discounted, and others we're hoping to see come back next month during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Just keep in mind that if you don't have Amazon Prime, you may see higher prices.
Packing cubes are a must when it comes to packing for a trip, and the BAGAIL Compression Cubes are one of our favorites. This set offers four different sizes, allowing you to save up to 60% of the space inside your suitcase.
I've personally used these packing cubes, as well as many other brands, and the compression feature is one of the best. The only disadvantage is that you can't see the items in each cube due to the opaque material. But these cubes have truly stood the test of time for me.
Apple AirTags are a must-have to keep track of your checked bags, carry-on bags, and even your backpacks and purses. Just slightly bigger than a quarter, you can easily attach an AirTag to all your essentials. Then in the event your luggage gets lost, locating it is significantly easier with this tracking device.
I personally attach an AirTag to every piece of luggage I have. And during a recent trip where my checked bag never made it onto my connecting flight, the tracking notification came in quite useful. There have also been plenty of success stories of passengers being able to locate lost luggage thanks to an AirTag, when even the airline wasn’t sure of its location.
This TSA-approved Redfly Travel Bottle Set comes with four 3-ounce squeezable bottles. Bring along your own shampoo, conditioner, soap, and face wash to avoid having to check a bag solely for your toiletries. And with a 3-layer leakproof design, you won't have to worry about spillage either.
Portable chargers are a must have when it comes to traveling, and while there are many portable chargers available, the INIU Portable Charger is a great option.
I personally never depart for a trip without a portable charger. It ensures I don't have to find a plug at the airport or worry about whether my plane offers power outlets. Portable chargers also come in handy while I’m out exploring during the day, so I know I’ll never be left with a dead phone.
This particular INIU charger is extremely thin and weighs only 7 ounces, taking up little space in a backpack. It can also charge an iPhone up to 78% in just an hour.
If you want something slightly more discreet and smaller to charge your phone, the Anker Portable Power Bank Charger is a great option to have in your bag. With a USB-C design, it can charge all of the newer phones, including the latest iPhone models.
If you're look to purchase a tablet, his is a great time to snag the Amazon Fire HD 7 Tablet. With 32GB and 10 hours of battery life, this tablet is perfect for those on the go.
When you're on the road, you can stream or download your favorite movies or TV shows — or even connect to social media. And if you have kids, you can subscribe to Amazon Kids+ for kid-friendly books, games and apps.
Right now, you can snag this Apple iPad 9th Generation at a great price. With two different color options — Silver or Space Grey — and offering 64GB, this is the perfect purchase for any member of your family.
I actually purchased this same exact iPad for my son at year ago at a higher price point, and it comes in extremely handy during air and car travel. We can load it up with games and movies, and he's fully occupied.
Visiting Disney World or spending the day exploring a city? If so, a crossbody bag is a must-have. While there's many on the market, this Crossbody Sling Bag is offered at the perfect price.
If you're looking for a reasonably priced pair of headphones, the Sony WH-CH720N are a great option. Known for being lightweight and comfortable and with noise-canceling capability, you can easily drown out your flight’s background noise and focus on your work, or even sleep better.
These headphones have a battery life of up to 35 hours, charge quickly, and are Bluetooth compatible, pairing with up to two devices at a time. Plus, the included connection wire allows you to plug them into your plane’s seatback entertainment system to watch TV or a movie.
The Apple AirPods Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds are also on sale during this two-day Prime Day event. For those that have been on the fence about whether to get these highly desirable earbuds, now is your chance.
Never pay for overweight luggage again with this Travel Inspira Luggage Scale. This portable scale can weigh a suitcase up to 110 pounds, ensuring you're within the airline's weight restrictions. I personally have one in my house and it has definitely saved me some time and effort at the airport when a bag is a few pounds over.
This 3-piece luggage set is perfect for the family on the go. The hardshell suitcase is both durable and light, with a textured finish to prevent scratches. You'll also love the airplane spinner wheels and adjustable 3-level telescoping handle — two must-have features when it comes to walking through the airport terminal.
One nice-to-have feature of this set — and something you don't find with many hardshell suitcases — is that the largest suitcase is expandable, adding 15% more space. The set also comes in 7 different colors.
With firm memory foam support, the Ostrichpillow Go Neck Pillow offers a 360-degree design, which truly makes a significant difference for those trying to catch some zzzz’s.
It offers a soft and supportive structure to keep your head in place without bobbing around. The foam also compresses to 60% of its size, making it easy to store in my travel backpack.
I also love the fact that the pillow is machine washable, allowing me to get rid of any airplane germs. So even though the price might be slightly jarring, you’ll be extremely happy with your splurge.
If you don't need the full compression of the BAGAIL brand above, the Amazon Basics Packing Cubes are a great and cheap alternative. I have a pair for every family member — in different colors — and they come in incredibly handy on trips. I also love the mesh exterior on the outside, allowing me to see exactly what clothes are inside. There are many different size options to pick from, but I personally like the 4-pack multi-size option.
For any traveler, hand sanitizer is a must. And while you can buy any store brand, the Touchland Power Must Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Spray is extremely popular amongst the tween and teen groups. So if you have a child ready to embark on a trip (or even just going to school every day), this is the perfect stocking stuffer.
The kids can take as many books with them as they want on your next trip with the Kindle Paperwhite Kids. My 11-year old has a Kindle and absolutely loves it, as it takes up significantly less space in her travel backpack, and she doesn't have to worry about not having enough books on vacation.
With this Kindle for Kids, you'll receive 1 year of Amazon Kids+, an included cover, and a 2-year worry free-guarantee — just in case the inevitable happens. And no need to worry about constantly charging the Kindle, as it offers up to 10 weeks of battery life.
This is the perfect time to grab the super popular Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones. There are six color options to choose from, including some limited-edition colors, so you can pick a pair that match your personality.
These headphones receive phenomenal reviews thanks to their noise-cancelling capability, plush comfort earcups, and all-day battery life.
Sleeping on a plane is the worst for many people. It’s a challenge to get comfortable, and there’s a decent chance you end up with a crick in your neck. But while there are endless neck pillows on the market, the napfun Neck Pillow gets rave reviews, and it's also reasonably priced — especially with the current Prime Big Deals sale.
If you’re traveling internationally, a travel adapter is a necessity, and having one adapter that works in over 150 countries is ideal. With the EPICKA Universal Travel Adapter, you can charge up to six devices simultaneously, with access to one USB-C port, four USB-A ports, and one A/C socket.
This adapter is small in size and perfect for a family. But it's also powerful. You can charge a phone, iPad, MP3 player, and more — all together with no issues.
