Grab up to 42% off Samsonite suitcases, Apple AirTags and more editor-recommended travel must-haves.
Fall is one of my favorite seasons to travel; the weather is universally perfect (not too hot, not too cold), and post-summer, it typically affords cheaper prices and less crowds compared to other peak travel months.
Now, with Amazon’s October Prime Day sale, the season also offers a prime (pun intended) opportunity for me to stock up and save on the market’s best travel must-haves and accessories, all at a fraction of their usual cost—and ahead of my next big trip.
While Amazon’s October Prime Day event doesn’t officially kick off until Tuesday, October 7, the retailer is offering a bevy of incredible early Prime Day deals on travel products like luggage sets (and luggage scales!), TSA-approved toiletry bags, neck pillows, travel tech and so much more. From rare discounts on Samsonite suitcases to savings on Apple AirTags for more real-time luggage tracking, shop the best early October Prime Day travel deals below—according to a frequent flyer:
