Unlike the standard Apple AirPods, the Pros are noise-canceling, they’re water-resistant, and come with custom ear tips. Other members of our team swear by them: They’re well worth the additional money over the standard AirPods.

The New MacBook Air for $849

A lightweight yet powerful laptop is the ultimate travel accessory – especially if you're one of the millions of Americans working remotely. And you can't beat getting the brand-new 2024 MacBook Air for just $849!

Amazon is selling the latest and greatest MacBook Air for $899 … with another $50 coupon available that knocks the final price down to $849 before tax. This is the laptop many members of the Thrifty Traveler team use (including yours truly). The M3 chip and 8GB of memory ensures it's up to virtually any task. And the 13-inch screen is right in the Goldilocks zone: Big enough to get your work done, not so large that it's too bulky for a standard size backpack on the road.

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 $149.99, so you can save $15 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 $124.99 price is lower than we've seen in a while.

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.
