Noise-canceling headphones
Noise-canceling headphones were among our readers’ most-purchased items last Prime Day, so we’re glad to see bestsellers from Apple, Beats, Marshall, Soundcore, Sony, and more are discounted again. These popular headphones tend to sell out quickly, so we recommend adding them to your cart ASAP if you’re in need of a new pair. Whether you’re trying to block out noisy plane neighbors or listen to your favorite podcast on your daily commutes, a high-quality pair of headphones is always an essential.
Portable chargers
Never worry about your phone dying just before takeoff ever again. A portable charger takes up little space in your backpack or tote bag and ensures you’re always powered up. Compact chargers from iWalk, Iniu, and more are currently on sale for Prime Day.
Bluetooth transmitters
A Bluetooth transmitter comes in handy when you want to watch movies on a flight using your own headphones. These audio transmitters can be connected to up to two devices and the built-in battery provides enough playtime for a long-haul flight.
E-readers and tablets
Prime Day is a great time to snag a new e-reader or tablet, with discounts as high as 50 percent off. These lightweight gadgets will keep you entertained on you next long-haul flight or train ride. These also make a thoughtful gift for the book worm or tech-obsessed on your shopping list.
Luggage tags
Frequent travelers have a shared fear of losing their luggage. To put your mind at ease, attach a luggage tag to your checked bag the next time you’re traveling. These tiny tags let you track any suitcase, backpack, or duffel you want to.
Wearable tech
Also on sale this Prime Day—wearable tech. From Oura Rings to smart watches, there’s plenty of discounts on these popular big-ticket items. Oura Rings allow you to track your sleep patterns, daily steps, and heart rate, making it easier than ever to stay on top of your goals while traveling.
Lightweight steamers
Another one of our readers’ most sought after gadgets last Prime Day was a portable steamer. Sure, some hotels have irons, but they don’t always do the job at dewrinkling formal dresses or suits. It’s a smart idea to bring along your own steamer that won’t take up a ton of space or weight in your suitcase, but still works well. Many of our favorites that have been tested and reviewed are on sale right now, including favorites from Steamery, Nesugar, and Hilife.
Neck pillows
Make sure to bring a supportive neck pillow with you on your next red-eye. These ultra-soft pillows help keep you a little more comfortable in that cramped middle seat. Many travel pillows on the market are bulky, but there’s plenty of options on Amazon that are lightweight, supportive, and best of all, packable. Find a few of our favorites below that all happen to be on sale.
Sleep masks
Speaking of catching some in-flight ZZZs, a super-soft sleep mask is a non-negotiable. These masks help block out light and soothe you as you soar through the sky. I also use an eye mask when I arrive at a destination in a different time zone when its time to nap during the day and I need to pretend it’s nighttime.
Portable speakers
Best-selling portable speakers are discounted, from top audio brands like JBL and Beats. These speakers are compact enough to toss in your tote bag or backpack for a trips to the beach or camping. Though small, they still produce clear, great quality audio.
Toiletry bags
Every traveler needs a roomy Dopp kit that can hold toiletries, skincare essentials, and makeup. Many of our go-to toiletry bags, like this best-selling hanging kit from Bagsmart, are discounted. Below, you’ll find options ranging in size and shape, with nice features like a water-resistant exterior and separate compartments.
Tote bags
A trusty tote bag is a must-have for any beach trip or day at the farmer’s market. I always pack one in my carry-on to hold souvenirs I pick up during a day of sightseeing. Below, a few stylish, packable tote bags on sale that we love.
Packing cubes
If you haven’t tried packing cubes yet (seriously, why?), now is the perfect time. Several packing cubes, including compressible versions, are a part of Prime Day discounts. Whether you’re a chronic overpacker who needs to save some extra room or a traveler who just wants to separate their shoes and dirty clothes, packing cubes will always come in handy. I never travel without them!
Reusable water bottles
It’s essential to stay hydrated on the go, whether you’re camping in the great outdoors or road tripping across the country. With deals on sleek, reusable water bottles from Simple Modern, Hydro Flask, and Contigo, it’s a great time to grab yourself a new everyday favorite. These insulated tumblers and mugs keep your cold beverages cool all day long.
Toiletry bottles
We’re also seeing discounts on reusable toiletry bottles. These leakproof bottles hold shampoo, conditioner, face wash, serums, sunscreen, and more without the fuss of buying miniature versions of all your everyday products. Larger sets with varying sized bottles are great for family vacations or extended trips. Our editors are particularly excited to see deals on Cadence capsules—these sleek, magnetic containers are designed without any edges, so you get every last bit of product out. Each container holds everything from liquid products to daily vitamins to hair pins.
Earplugs
If you want to block out some extra noise on a flight, pack a pair of earplugs in your personal item. Options like these are comfortable in your ear and really do the trick at helping you relax. For some travelers, Curvd Everyday earplugs can even help make flying with claustrophobia more bearable by blocking off the internal steady hum to create sensory deprivation which in turn calms your nerves.
Compact mirrors
I always like to keep a small travel mirror in my toiletry bag. This makes applying makeup on-the-go easy, and has come in handy during destination weddings and dinner dates. These compact options even come with a built-in light, so you’ll always be ready for a quick touch-up.
Travel umbrellas
Rounding out our list of the best travel accessories on sale this Prime Day are a few reliable umbrellas. They’re lightweight enough to fit in a tote bag or backpack, but still do the job of keeping you dry during a downpour.
