Alas, we can't do anything about the personal, metaphorical baggage you'll be bringing to your holiday visits, but we can make sure your actual, literal baggage is top-notch and rock-bottom-priced. (Photo: Amazon)
Feel free to pour one out for Amazon's October Prime Day, which wound up yesterday. But then go ahead and raise a glass, because you can still save big on a slew of highly recommended, deeply discounted travel essentials, including carry-on bags, wheeled luggage and in-flight accessories. These prices are so good you'll be able to fly first class with your savings (well, business class, at least).
Before you book that flight, be sure to check out these discounts on everything from checked bags to carry-on suitcases to matched sets to backpacks and duffel bags. And don't miss out on the big name brands like Samsonite's half-off hardside luggage and wheeled options.
If you're traveling for an extended stay, check out a three-piece set like this one by Rockland and save. Of course, you don't have to be heading overseas to enjoy a deal. We've also rounded up some sales on travel backpacks like this one that are ideal for a shorter trip.
Breeze through security with this nimble number that's over 45% off. It sports 360-degree spinner wheels for easy navigation, side-mounted TSA locks and a scratch-resistant shell. It comes in a variety of colors (Rose Gold! Ice Blue!) that'll make for a quick airport exit come carousel time.
Traveling is hard enough but juggling multiple bags can make security a nightmare. That's why we love how this two-piece set fits together for easy wheeling around the concourse. Just slip the smaller bag's straps over the roller bags handle and you're off. Bonus: it's nearly 40% off.
Looking for a way to stay more organized while you travel? Look to the cube. This 8-piece set, an Amazon's Choice, features compressible cubes of various sizes. But wait, there's more! It also comes with a shoe bag, a cosmetics case, an accessory bag, an underwear bag and a drawstring bag that you can use for dirty clothes.
With 40 liters' capacity, this bestseller pack is likely all you'd need for a long weekend, but an unzipped zipper will expand it up to 1.5 inches, making it the perfect bag for when you're heading back home with some unexpected purchases. Also cool: Unlike other backpacks, this one unzips like a suitcase so you can easily see what’s inside and you don’t have to dig around to find that one thing you need right now. Plus, it's on double discounts.
Not only does this sleek carry-on fit the overhead bins of most airlines, it also features four multidirectional spinner wheels for an effortless glide through the concourse. Security a concern? This sturdy case has side-mounting TSA locks to keep your stuff secure and comes with a 10-year warranty.
Why we love it
Samsonite is a standout brand for all the right reasons, and this super safe wheeled bag is no exception. We love that it comes in 13 colors like Cactus Green and Ice Blue so your bag is sure to standout on the luggage carousel as well.
"Rolling" and "duffel" combines two of our favorite, most useful luggage attributes. Combined, they add up to "fast" and "roomy," and what's more important than that when you're on the road? This bag has a spacious main compartment, a telescopic handle and five exterior pockets for quick access to essential items. And it's over 70% off.
Why we love it
Convertible bags are just an incredible deal when you think about how you're getting both an easy weekender duffle and a serious piece of luggage with a telescoping handle that's ready to roll down the jet bridge.
