Best Overall Amazon Prime Day Deals

Samsonite Freeform 28-inch Large Luggage

Name-brand suitcases are one big-ticket item certainly worth shopping for during the savings event, thanks to Amazon’s incredible luggage deals. Samsonite’s Freeform luggage is a Travel + Leisure tested favorite, and this 28-inch checked option is 52 percent off, bringing the price down to $145. It’s made with a scratch-resistant hardshell and 360-degree spinner wheels, but the expandable storage capacity is certainly a standout feature, maximizing luggage space—a necessity for overpackers like myself.  

OlarHike 8-set Packing Cubes

Save on luggage space and stay organized with this eight-piece set of packing cubes from OlarHike. They feature reinforced stitching and strong zippers that prevent the cubes from ripping, keeping your belongings safe and secure in your travel bag. This particular set, currently 32 percent off during Prime Big Deal Days, comes with four clothing packing cubes in varying sizes, one accessories pouch, one protective bag for shoes, one laundry bag, and one hanging toiletry bag.

Automet 2-piece Matching Set

I’m a firm believer that a two-piece set is the ultimate travel outfit, and luckily, there are plenty of marked-down options to shop right now. This $36 sweatshirt and sweatpants set from Automet is ideal for cozying up on an overnight flight, and the luxe-looking color options, such as this coffee grey, give the two-piece an elevated touch. One shopper raved that the set is “very warm and snuggly,” adding that it came out of the dryer “with no wrinkles or pilling.” 

Matein Travel Laptop Backpack

If you’re traveling with technology, you’ll want to make sure it’s as safe and secure as possible, and this Matein travel laptop backpack does just that—and it’s a whopping 52 percent off right now. The shopper-loved backpack features one laptop compartment that can hold up to a 15.6-inch laptop, a spacious interior compartment for tech accessories and carry-on essentials, and a front pocket with multiple pockets. It even features a USB charging port, so you can charge your device when there’s no outlet nearby.

Odoly Genuine Suede Clogs

If you love the look of Birkenstock Boston clogs but not the expensive price tag, these unisex Odoly suede clogs offer a similar look for a fraction of the cost. Oh, and did I mention they’re a top seller at Amazon right now? The fall-ready slip-on shoes feature a cork footbed that molds to your feet, providing arch support, and a non-slip outsole that makes them ideal for outdoor wear.

Napfun Neck Pillow

Enhance your in-flight experience with this supportive neck pillow from Napfun. The highly rated travel accessory relieves neck pain while flying and prevents your head from falling forward, thanks to its unique design featuring a concave chin rest and supportive memory foam material. With over 30,000 purchases in the past month, it’s clearly a favorite amongst shoppers. One Amazon reviewer shared that they “used it on a recent red-eye flight and, for the first time ever, [they] woke up without neck pain,” while another person wrote that it “provides great support without being too bulky.”

Baleaf Hiking Pants

Adventure seekers, now is the perfect time to stock up on hiking essentials, from durable boots to clothing staples like this pair of Baleaf hiking pants. The lightweight, breathable pants are water-resistant and offer UPF 50+ sun protection. The bottoms of the pants have adjustable cords that tighten around the ankle, making them easy to tuck into boots and keep bugs and dirt off your legs. As a 5-foot-tall shopper, I love that they’re available in petite-friendly sizing, in addition to regular and tall inseams.

Litfun Fuzzy Memory Foam Slippers

Cozy up in these fuzzy Litfun slippers throughout fall and winter. Made with a memory foam footbed and lined with a wool-like faux fur and fleece material, these comfortable shoes are a must-have for slipping on in-flight or curling up at home by the fire or at the ski lodge during a winter getaway. Additionally, the rubber non-slip soles make them suitable for both indoor and outdoor wear. Right now, these budget-friendly Ugg slipper lookalikes are 44 percent off, so don’t miss your chance to shop them before they return to their regular price. 

Stanley All Day Slim Bottle

One of the best Stanley deals we’ve seen during October’s Prime Big Deal Days is the top-selling All Day Slim Bottle. It’s designed to fit into a backpack or travel bag easily, and its double-wall vacuum insulation keeps drinks iced for up to 11 hours. It also features a dual-opening design, making it easier than ever to add ice to the bottle, even with its small sipping lid.

Apple AirTag 4-pack

As someone who constantly misplaces items, Apple AirTags have been a game-changer in my everyday life. I keep one in my wallet, my work bag, and on my keychain with this handy $2 holder, and I keep an AirTag in each of my suitcases, so I can see precisely where my luggage is at all times, from the moment I drop it off at check-in to right when I retrieve it from baggage claim. Apple products rarely go on sale, so now is the time to snag a four-pack of AirTags for under $20 each.

Apple iPad Air 11-inch

Speaking of rarely on-sale Apple products, this 11-inch iPad Air is $150 off, bringing the price down to $449 for Amazon’s October Prime Day. The ultra-lightweight device is the perfect travel companion for those who don’t want to be weighed down by a bulky laptop. It has all-day battery life, so you won’t have to worry about charging it midway through a long-haul flight, whether you’re loading it up with movies and books for in-flight entertainment or using it to get some work done.

It’s also worth noting that this model comes with an M3 chip built to support Apple Intelligence, which helps you streamline everyday tasks, write, and create with privacy protections to keep your data safe. While it’s a splurge, the iPad has garnered over 2,000 orders in the past month alone, proving it’s a worthwhile purchase for both traveling and everyday life.

Skechers Go Walk Arch Fit Iconic Sneaker

It’s never a bad idea to pick up a new pair of slip-on sneakers, and Skechers Go Walk Arch Fit Iconic Sneakers are 44 percent off right now. The comfort-focused footwear has podiatrist-certified arch support and removable insoles that mold to your foot, reducing shock and increasing weight dispersion. A traveler wrote that they wore these shoes “all over Europe,” and also pointed out that they’re “easy to slip on and off for airport security.”

Anker Ultra-Slim Magnetic Portable Charger

You never want to be in a situation where you have five percent battery life without an outlet in sight, especially when you’re traveling. This Anker portable charger remedies that situation by magnetically attaching to the back of an iPhone 14, 15, 16, or 17 for wireless charging. The slim, wireless charging pack fits snugly on the back of the phone without feeling bulky, allowing you to make calls, take pictures, and scroll without a clunky battery pack and cord hanging from it. It’s available in four color options, so you can choose a shade that best complements your phone.     

Forge TSA-approved Pack of 4 Cable Luggage Locks

Keep your bags safe and secure with these best-selling, TSA-approved luggage locks. The extremely durable and easy-to-use locks are made with steel cables and alloy lock bodies. If you somehow manage to break them, the brand notes that they will provide a refund or replacement, though it’s highly unlikely that anything can damage them. One Amazon shopper confirmed this, writing, “The locks held up through multiple flights, baggage handling, and rough travel without any damage or coming loose. 

Sony Wireless Noise-canceling Headphones

A reliable pair of noise-cancelling headphones is a travel non-negotiable, and the best time to invest in a new, high-quality pair is during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days. These sleek-looking Sony wireless headphones are an overall top pick from Amazon, with over 10,000 purchases in the last month. They have up to 30 hours of battery life with just one charge, and if you forget to plug them in overnight, a 3-minute charge can provide music playback for up to 90 minutes. Other useful features include Alexa voice control, sound isolation during phone calls, and impressive noise-cancelling capabilities, allowing you to tune out crying babies or loud talkers for a peaceful in-flight nap on your way to your destination.
