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.
Buy it on Amazon for $849 (was $1,099)
Just be sure to click the coupon to get that extra $50 before adding it to your cart!
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.
Buy it on Amazon for $124.99 (was $149.99)
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!

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 Big Deal Day, including:

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 $19.99 (was $24.99)
TRTL Travel Pillow for $51.99
It may look goofy, but travelers swear by the TRTL travel pillow. And it's on sale for Amazon Prime Big Deal Day: 20% off, bringing the final price down to roughly $51.99. Just be sure to apply the coupon before adding it to your Amazon cart.
It's a 30% discount from the usual $64.99 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 $45.49 (was $64.99)
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 20% for Amazon Prime Big Deal 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 $16.98 (was $19.99)
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 $15.95 – 43% off the normal price.
Buy it on Amazon for $15.95 (was $27.99)

Sorry about that! Our link has been updated.
Looks to me like the cheapest price on Amazon for The quiet comfort headphones is $229 unless your link is mistaken
My AirPods Pro died after nearly two years of use (I purchased them from the Apple Store). I used them most days for one to three hours a day. I also have the Bose noise cancelling headphones that I purchased a year prior to my Apple AirPods. My Bose are still going strong.
How do you carry the carbon monoxide detector when there are no batteries allowed?
You can put it in your carry on.
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?
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!
