Best travel products on sale for Prime Day:
Packing Cubes
These are a must-have for any traveler who wants to stay organized. They are lightweight and come in a variety of sizes, so you can fit them to your needs.
My current go-to favorites are this set of Veken Packing Cubes. I bought them ahead of our two-week trip to Portugal, and they made packing and organizing our suitcases to much easier. These packing cubes seriously made me wonder how I ever managed to travel without them before.
They are currently on sale for $16.99 (down from $29.99)
Travel Adapters
If you're traveling internationally, then you'll need a travel adapter to plug your devices into the electrical outlets. When I first started traveling internationally, I bought country-specific plugs which soon became a hassle to keep track of. Not to mention, it’s made for quite the collection. More recently, I picked up a couple of these SAUNORCH Universal Adapters, which have made it so much easier. And those built-in USB ports? Lifesavers.
It’s currently on sale for $15.99 (down from $26.99)
Airplane Phone Mount
This is for those times where on-board entertainment isn’t complimentary, or there’s a show you’re just dying to binge. What better time than that cross-Atlantic flight?
A phone mount hasn’t been on my radar for very long because I’ve always been the type to sleep as soon as the seatbelt lights go on, but even I must admit this was a handy little gadget.
It’s currently on sale for $10.38 (down from $17.99)
Luggage Scale
Some airlines are stricter than others.
And when you’re in the habit of stuffing your luggage just a little too much (guilty!), this little travel inspira Luggage Scale can save you the embarrassment and frustration of having to pop your suitcase open in front of the check-in line. I’ve been there. It isn’t great.
Weigh your luggage as you pack and never have to worry about whether it’ll make it past check-in scrutiny.
It’s currently on sale for $8.99 (down from $11.99)
Airplane Footrest
Leading up to our 7-hour flight to Lisbon, I’ve been struggling with pesky hip pain that flares up when I’m in the same position for too long. A long flight was sure to put me out of commission, and that’s when I uncovered this handy Foot Hammock Airplane Footrest. What a difference!
It slings over your seatback tray, so make sure not to jostle around too much and disrupt the passenger in front of you. And also, keep your shoes on despite what the photos show. No one likes smelly feet.
It’s currently on sale for $14.97 (down from $19.97)
Laptop Carry-On Backpack
I can’t remember the last time I traveled without my laptop. It goes everywhere with me, just like my camera gear. And because my camera, drone & GoPro all take up a separate camera backpack of their own, a dedicated laptop carrier was needed for air travel.
This SwissGear 1900 Scansmart TSA 17 Laptop Backpack has been downright outstanding. It comfortably fits both of our laptops, carry-on essentials, books, headphones, water bottles, snacks and even the stray plush that we always manage to buy overseas. It’s a thing. It fits a lot.
It’s currently on sale for $64.31 (down from $89.99)
Travel Pillow
I’ve been traveling with bulky travel pillows for years. They hang onto my already bulky backpack (see above) and make it a truly cumbersome hustle around the airport. I’ve been hearing about the trtl Travel Pillow for quite a while now, and after getting thumbs up from several friends, decided to give it a shot.
This is the pillow that feels like a hug for your neck. It does get warm, so if you’re the kind of person that runs hot, I’d recommend getting their newer “cool” variant. But if you’re always cold on a plane, this will feel delightful all the while propping your head up for a fairly restful sleep. As restful as anyone can really get on a plane.
It’s currently on sale for $45.00 (down from $59.99)
After the last couple of trips, these are what I’d consider my must haves that have made the travel experience just a little easier. I hope you find some goodies this Prime Day!
