Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
You can currently score a pair of Apple's brand new, second-generation AirPod Pros for just $189. That’s the best price we’ve seen for Apple’s newest and best Bluetooth wireless headphones, which have better noise cancelation and longer battery life than their predecessors.
Only the brand-new USB-C charging case is available at this lower price.
Buy them on Amazon for $189Â (was $249)
Unlike the standard Apple AirPods (which are also on sale for just $89), the Pros are noise-canceling, they’re water-resistant, and come with custom ear tips. Our team swears by them: They’re well worth the additional money over the standard AirPods if you ask us.
Bose QuietComfort 45 Noise-Canceling Headphones
Bose makes some of the best noise-canceling headphones for frequent travelers in the world. Prices on one of their best Bluetooth headsets don't get much cheaper than this.
You can currently buy a pair of Bose QuietComfort 45 noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones for as low as $230. That's more than $100 off the list price for one of Bose's top products with unbeatable noise cancelation and one of the lowest prices we've ever seen.
Only the black model is available at this price.
Buy them on Amazon from $230 (was $329)
Bose 700 Noise Canceling Headphones
Want to take a step up from the Bose Quiet Comfort 45s? You're in luck there, too.
Bose 700 noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones are also on sale for just $279. That's not quite the cheapest price we've ever seen on these headphones, but it's $100 off the normal price for a 26% discount.
These newer headphones take Bose products to the next level. In our experience, they're just as comfortable but offer even better sound quality, and noise cancelation, and have a much better built-in microphone to eliminate background noise on phone calls.
But only the black color is available at this price.
Buy them on Amazon for $279 (was $399)
4 Pack of Apple AirTags for $88
Concerned about your luggage getting lost? Apple AirTags are a must-have travel accessory, and they're on sale for Amazon Prime Day.
You can buy a four-pack of AirTags for $88.99 – down from the $99.99 list price. It's one of the better deals we've seen on this location-tracking technology.
Buy them on Amazon for $88.99 (was $100)
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Amazon almost always has Prime Day deals on their own products. If you don't already own a Kindle but are in the market for an e-reader, this is a great opportunity to pick one up at a discount.
The Kindle Paperwhite has a larger, higher-resolution display with a built-in adjustable light. Even better is that this generation is now fully waterproof, with a bigger display and 2x the storage as older models. It's normally $139.99, so you can save $45 by picking this up today!
Even if you swear you need a physical copy to read, travelers should give this deal a long, hard look. I'm a Kindle Paperwhite convert, and this $89.99 price is one of the best deals we've seen.
Buy it on Amazon for $94.99 (was $139.99)
Amazon Fire 8 HD Kids Tablet in Kid-Proof Case
Need to keep your kiddo entertained on your next trip? You're not alone. Amazon is selling its Fire 8 HD Kids Tablet for just $74.99 – 50% off!
Buy it on Amazon for $74.99 (was $149.99)
Anker Power Banks for 20% Off (Or More!)
Anker makes some of the best power banks to keep your devices charged while on the go. And a metric ton of them are on sale for Amazon Prime Day, including:
- A 5,000mAh charger (good for up to nearly one full iPhone 13 recharge) that triples as a magnetic stand and phone holder for $39.99 – down from $69.99!
- The GaNPrime PowerCore 65W – a 10,000mAh battery pack that doubles as a way to keep three other devices powered up via USB and USB-C outlets – for $69.99, down from $99.99.
Buy them on Amazon starting at $19.99!
EPICKA Universal Power Travel Adapter
Long gone are the days when you needed a four-piece system to stay plugged in across the globe. There are plenty of single-unit options that allow you to charge your devices no matter where you rest your head. Our favorite is the EPICKA Universal Power Travel adapter, a compact cube that offers not just a power port, but four USB ports as well – plus even a fast-charging USB-C slot.
Unless if you’re traveling with heavy-duty electronics, this can be the one-and-done solution for staying powered up on international travels. It's the one I have in my bag at all times.
Buy it on Amazon from $18.39 (was $24.99)
TRTL Travel Pillow for $42
It may look goofy, but travelers swear by the TRTL travel pillow. And it's on sale for Amazon Prime Day: $41.99, one of the lowest prices we've seen in years.
It's a 30% discount from the usual $59.99 price tag. Several members of the Thrifty Traveler team use this pillow during long-haul flights and will never use another travel pillow again.
Buy it on Amazon for $41.99 (was $59.99)
Huge Savings on Samsonite Luggage
You can always find deals on luggage for Amazon Prime Day, and Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days is no exception – especially for solid Samsonite gear.
It's tough to beat some of these Samsonite luggage sets from $150, as that's more than 50% off the list price. The same goes for some carry-on bags starting around $125.
Buy them on Amazon starting at $125.60 (was $199)
Rain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella
Having an umbrella with you during your travels can save you a lot of headaches should the weather take a turn for the worse.
This Rain-Mate compact travel umbrella is a great addition to any carry-on bag for your next trip, and it's discounted by nearly 30% for Amazon Prime Day. Some colors are cheaper than others, but it's a great deal no matter which design you choose.
It comes in a multitude of colors and weighs less than one pound. It's also windproof with a reinforced canopy.
Buy it on Amazon for $17.49 (was $21.75)
Portable Carbon Monoxide Detector for $18
Yes, really. A portable carbon monoxide detector is the travel accessory you hope you'll never need but should consider throwing in your bag for your next trip. Better safe than sorry, right?
This handy Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detector is just a few inches long and wide, making it easy to pack in your bag. It's battery-powered, with a warning system so you'll know when it's time to replace those AA batteries. And best of all, you can buy it for just $17.87 – 36% off the normal price.
Buy it on Amazon for $17.87 (was $27.99)

I love getting your emails! Great information and travel deals. And today’s article for Amazon Prime allowed me to see and buy the deal on Bose headphones. Thank you.
Great to hear, Roy!
Great to see an article on this. If there’s a good buy on a wallet/money clip that you guys best recommend for travel could you add it to the list?
How do you carry the carbon monoxide detector when there are no batteries allowed?
You can put it in your carry on.
