Amazon Prime Day is here once more—and there’s no better time of year for travelers to refresh their gear and get a head start on holiday shopping. Prime Big Deal Days returns this year following Amazon’s annual July sale, offering shoppers a second chance to save on best-selling tech, luggage, outdoor gear, premium beauty, and of course—must-have travel accessories. The best travel accessories help make the journey on any long-haul flight, cross-country road trip, or transatlantic cruise a smoother one. There’s hundreds of cant-miss deals on travel accessories this Prime Day, from supportive neck pillows and lightweight steamers to portable chargers and noise-canceling headphones. We’re seeing markdowns on some of our editor’s go-to essentials, with discounts as high as 60 percent off. But hurry—these deals only last through tomorrow, October 9, so don’t delay adding something to your shopping cart if you see something you like.
For even more Prime Day sales, head to Traveler‘s Amazon Storefront.
Find the best deals:
Noise-canceling headphones
Noise-canceling headphones were among our readers’ most-purchased items last Prime Day, so we’re glad to see bestsellers from Bose, JBL, and Apple 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 transmitter
A Bluetooth transmitter comes in handy when you want to watch movies on a flight using your own headphones. It connects to up to two devices and the built-in battery provides up to 20 hours of playtime.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
