Who doesn’t love a good getaway? While just the thought of a vacation gets us excited, the high takes an instant swan dive when we think of how expensive travel gear can get. From luggage and travel accessories to tech and everything in between, things can add up before you even board your flight. Thankfully, with October Prime Day (October 8 through October 9) just around the corner, you’re sure to get huge savings on some of today’s best travel products — but you actually don’t have to wait to shop.
Just a few days ahead of the savings event, we found some impressive Prime Day travel deals that are worth checking out — and prices start at just $6. If you’re looking for the best way to stay organized while making it through TSA, this bag organizer is the way to go and it’s over 70% off — just $9! We’re also big fans of this eight-piece packing cube set that you can grab for just $14. The luggage savings also aren’t too shabby: This hard side Samsonite two-piece set is over $120 off.
If you want to catch up on some reading during your flight, Amazon discounted its Kindle Paperwhite bundle (complete with a fabric cover and power adapter) by $20! The best early October Prime Day travel deals are ready for liftoff below.
If you’ve been meaning to upgrade your current luggage, this two-piece set is screaming your name — and at just $50, you really can’t go wrong.
You’ll get a 20-inch suitcase that’s just the right size for those cramped overhead storage compartments, plus a personal item bag that slides over the carry-on’s handle with a trolley sleeve. Each piece has external zippered compartments to store your wallet, passport or any other essentials while you’re running to your gate.
“I’m a flight attendant and I absolutely love this luggage set,” one travel pro wrote. “This was a pleasant surprise. I am shocked at how durable and dependable this set is.”
Looking for a no-frills lightweight tote that’s just the right size for your personal item? This quilted option fits the bill and has space for all the essentials. It has one roomy main compartment, three interior pockets and a sleeve that fits up to a 15.6-inch laptop. Plus, it comes in nine vibrant colors. The price has fluctuated a few of times over the past three months, but this is as low as it goes.
“Lightweight, sturdy, great bag to carry essentials on the airplane, and fits nicely under the seat,” one fan shared. “I would highly recommend this product to anyone needing a good looking, sturdy, organized bag for travel. I will be using this as an overnight bag for weekend getaways in the future and am considering ordering another one for my daughter.”
When it comes to luggage recommendations, flight attendants’ opinions rank at the top of our list. It’s no secret that Travelpro is professional fliers’ favorite luggage brand, thanks to its durability and lightweight build. This 25-inch medium checked suitcase is the perfect size for week-long trips when you don’t want to lug around a huge checked bag.
“So lightweight and glides smoothly while holding a ton of stuff,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “I have a TravelPro carry-on that has taken a beating over the last four years, but still looks great. That gave me the confidence to buy this one sight unseen. Very satisfied.”
Speaking of what flight attendants prefer, this hard-sided Travelpro carry-on is what one crew member swears by when she’s not on the clock. It’s even been tested to fit in the overhead bins on most major domestic airlines (and passed with flying colors).
“This suitcase is excellent. I am flight crew and use the soft side for work, but prefer this design for leisure,” the travel professional wrote. “Super light and sturdy. I had to check it, and not a scratch to be found. Highly recommend.”
This two-piece Samsonite luggage set comes with everything you need for your trip: a carry-on and a large checked suitcase. Each piece is expandable and has whisper-silent 360-degree spinner wheels. Both suitcases also have divider pockets and cross ribbons for easy built-in organization. Right now, it’s just $20 more than the lowest price it’s been all year.
“I can’t say enough good things about my Samsonite hard luggage,” one impressed reviewer wrote. “It’s incredibly durable and built to withstand even the toughest travel conditions … The wheels glide smoothly, making it easy to maneuver through airports and crowded streets.”
One of the oldest secrets to staying calm when traveling is to stay as organized as possible — and this palm-sized passport wallet has just enough compartments to keep important documents within reach. It’s slim enough to slip into any pocket and has slots for a passport, credit cards, a boarding pass and even a pen. Best of all, there’s RFID blocking built in to protect sensitive personal data. This passport wallet also comes with two recovery tags from ReturnMe, the world’s largest lost and found company.
One pilot gave it a glowing review. “Got this to hold my important things I need to fly — certificate, medical [card] and passport,” the travel pro wrote. “They also offer you a lost and found reward so if you lose it, it can be easily returned to you and the company provides you a reward.”
This hanging toiletry bag strikes just the right balance between roomy and compact, and it has loads of convenient features that seasoned travelers love. In addition to the six built-in pockets and multiple slots, it comes with a detachable, transparent cosmetic bag that’s TSA-approved, making a trip through security speedier.
Several flight crew members praise this well-designed bag for simplifying traveling with toiletries. “As a flight attendant, this bag has saved me so much time and packing,” one travel pro wrote. “No need to have several different bags to pack your toiletries because this bag has so many compartments.”
Travel experts and frequent fliers say packing cubes are one of the easiest ways to stay organized. If you tend to overpack or always seem to forget something, they can keep everything tidy and easy to find. In addition to an array of bags in various sizes, this eight-piece set includes a toiletry bag, a shoe bag and a sock bag.
“I’m getting ready for flight attendant training and wanted to buy these to help me organize the many things I need to bring,” wrote one reviewer. “What surprised me is that both pairs of high heels fit in the shoe bag.”
How many times have you been next in the TSA line, ready to present your ID, but the traveler in front of you is fumbling through their bag, trying to find their documents? Yeah … don’t be that person. A bag organizer like this one will keep important items easily accessible.
The medium fits most standard purses and totes, but there are four other sizes too. It has 13 pockets (three exterior and 10 interior), so you’ll have more than enough places to neatly stow your passport, wallet, boarding pass, phone and much more. While this isn’t the lowest it’s been all year, at $9, it’s still a pretty major bargain.
Nearly 16,000 Amazon shoppers say this No. 1 bestselling add-on keeps everything in its place no matter the bag. “This thing kept me organized the entire time. No digging around in the TSA line trying to find identification,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “I had zippers for cash and credit cards. It was great.”
Why is it that your purse or personal item always seems to fall off your carry-on while you’re rushing through security? If you don’t have a bag with a built-in trolley sleeve, no need to buy one — just grab this popular travel belt that fastens your bag to your carry-on handle. It keeps your bag in place even when you’re running for the gate, and since it made its debut on Shark Tank, it’s gained a huge following. This is also the most affordable it’s been all year.
“Best travel purchase I’ve made in years,” one shopper wrote. “It totally changed my airport experience with my bag falling off the top of my rolling suitcase. Makes going through customs a breeze and staying organized about 10 times easier.”

Can’t take a trip without your favorite fragrance? I’m with you! Since most bottles don’t fall within TSA sizing guidelines (and who wants to take up precious luggage space with big perfume bottles, anyway?), investing in a few atomizers will save you money and space. This set is 40% off, making these the lowest it’s been all year.
“I love these refillable travel perfume bottles,” one reviewer wrote. “I can literally carry five different perfumes at once. It is easy to use and refill and there is hardly any mess.”
Travel is rarely as simple as grabbing a bag and heading out the door. Nowadays, you likely need to pack your laptop, tablet, earbuds and phone — and don’t forget the chargers. This case keeps all of the cables neatly organized with layers and a variety of compartments to make sure nothing gets tangled. While this isn’t the lowest it’s been, it’s currently only $1 more than it’s all-time lowest price.
“This is perfect for all the cords and gadgets for a flight,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “It’s about the size of my hand, and even comes with a wristband. This is very lightweight, but really nice quality.”
It’s not often that you find a genuine leather wallet at such a great price — and right now this No. 1 best seller is almost 40% off ahead of October Prime Day. There’s space for cash and cards aplenty, and it’s available in over 30 colors. This is also the lowest we’ve ever seen this 100% leather wallet.
One of over 40,000 five-star reviewers said this is just what they needed for their long trip. “We just spent three weeks backpacking through Europe, and this was very useful,” the shopper wrote. “I needed a small, thin wallet to hold my bills and main cards in the money belt. … This minimalist wallet did the job.”
Save $5 lowest price ever
If you don’t need a full packing cube set and you’re just looking for something to separate your shoes from the rest of your gear, these affordable nylon shoe bags are just what you need. They’re spacious enough to fit high heels and high-top sneakers, and at 55% off, you can’t go wrong. This is the lowest we’ve seen these — ever!
“I took my workout shoes, hiking boots and everyday casual shoes when traveling [to] Asia for several months last year and these were perfect to keep shoes clean, and also from rubbing up against your clean clothes in a suitcase,” one five-star reviewer wrote.
Save $12 lowest price ever
If you’ve ever tried to settle in for an in-flight snooze, you know it’s a challenge. Travelers say this 100% memory foam neck pillow is the closest they’ve gotten to sleeping on a real pillow while they’re on a plane. It even comes with a drawstring carrying bag. It’s currently only $3 more than its all-time lowest price.
“I’ve gone through several kinds of neck pillows and this is my favorite,” one flight crew member wrote. “I have a bad neck (arthritis and a reversed C-spine). I had to sleep with it once in a hotel because their pillows were dreadful and found it more comfortable! As a flight attendant, I recommend!”
There’s nothing worse than getting off a plane only to learn that your luggage is lost. I always pop one of these in my checked bag when I travel so I’m able to track its location no matter where it is. Right now, this travel favorite is at the lowest price it’s been since early August.
“Our luggage did not make it to our ship,” one reviewer wrote, sharing that he and his family used AirTags during a cruise vacation. “No one seemed to be able to tell us where our luggage was, but we knew. We were so thankful for these AirTags.”
This Tile tracker is a shopper favorite with over 16,000 five-star reviews. It performs similarly to the Apple AirTag and while it isn’t at the lowest price we’ve seen this year, $19 is still a pretty fair deal given that you’ll get to use this little guy over and over again for years.
“This year, I traveled to Spain and [my luggage] was lost again,” one reviewer wrote. “But because I had this device in my luggage, I could actually see where it was and also how [my] luggage was moving.”
This is one of the most thoughtfully designed wireless charging stations I’ve ever used. And since it folds up to be the “size of a pack of playing cards,” it’s easy to take on trips. It charges your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods all at once and when it’s time to pack it away, it folds up small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Prime members are in luck as they get it for its all-time lowest price ever.
“Great charger for a frequent traveler,” one impressed shopper wrote. “The foldable design of this charging station is a stroke of genius. It’s compact enough to slip into my bag when I’m traveling and it unfolds to charge my iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch simultaneously. The build quality is solid, and the magnetic hold is just right — not too strong, not too weak.”
Reading a book is one of the best ways to pass time on a long flight. But books can be heavy and they take up valuable space in your carry-on or personal item. A Kindle e-reader lets you download as many books as you’d like, and since it’s almost paper-thin, you won’t sacrifice much space in your bag.
This one comes with a few extras that you’ll be glad you got in the long run: a fabric cover to protect the device and a power adapter. While this isn’t the lowest it’s been all year, given what you get in this bundle, you’re getting so much bang for your buck.
“This was such a good purchase,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “I have read more books in three weeks than I have read in years. Instant library at my fingertips. The backlight is perfect — it seems to adjust to the ambient lighting a bit. The screen doesn’t strain my eyes at all.”
