Prime Big Deal Days is here, offering discounts on travel items during the 48-hour sale, exclusive to Prime members. You can also find deals on tech, sneakers, beauty and more.

I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a writer for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day travel deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated, at least 20% off and at its lowest price in at least three months.

4.4-star average rating from 1,325 reviews on Amazon

This 20-inch Travelpro carry-on has been my go-to bag for years — my father, who is a pilot, has had his for even longer. The rollaboard bag, which only has two wheels, weighs under 6 pounds and has one large interior compartment and a large zippered compartment on the inside of the lid.

Bagsmart The Space Saver Toiletry Bag

4.8-star average rating from 56,589 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

“I love this toiletry bag because it has multiple compartments, so everything has its own place and I can separate my makeup, shower and hair care items,” says Sadhana Daruvuri, NBC commerce social editor. “Since the compartments are clear, I can spot what I need immediately. The elastic loops in each section also help me stand products up to prevent spills.” The toiletry bag, which won an NBC Select Travel Award, folds open and has a built-in hook.

Epicka Universal Travel Adapter

4.7-star rating from 15,097 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz loves this universal travel adapter and thinks it’s one of the best travel accessories on Amazon. It has four types of retractable prongs that work in over 150 countries so you can charge devices powered by USB, USB-C and standard wall plugs, according to the brand. (Note: It’s not a voltage converter, so all devices must have dual or variable-voltage capabilities.)

Lowest price ever

If you love to camp, this portable power station has a solar-compatible battery that can charge your devices no matter how far away you are from home (solar charging panel not included). It can charge up to six devices at once and acts as an automated backup generator for appliances if you experience a power outage.

4.6-star rating from 6,131 reviews on Amazon

Another one of our favorite travel accessories, these Stasher bags are an eco-friendly food storage solution that’s also great for organizing toiletries, says NBC Select associate updates editor Zoe Malin. They’re BPA-free, dishwasher-safe and leakproof to prevent messes in your suitcase or lunch box, according to the brand. This four-piece bundle includes three sizes: one half-gallon, one snack bag and two sandwich bags.

Philips One Battery Toothbrush

4.5-star average rating from 16,239 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever
