Taking a trip this summer? Check out the best early Prime Day travel deals as of July 2:
Welcome to another summer of revenge travel.
Experts originally coined the term to describe the post-lockdown rush to book leisurely vacations. (Making up for lost time, as it were.) But lately it feels like “revenge travel” could apply to the way we’re being punished by high gas, hotel, and airfare prices after staying home for so long.
Either way, it’s a good thing Amazon‘s early Prime Day deals include some hefty discounts on travel gear.
We’ll be combing through the site regularly in the days leading up to the sale (which is scheduled for July 12 and 13 this year) to find the most “worth-it” prices on luggage, noise-canceling headphones, portable chargers, and other items that can come in handy on a trip. A few things to keep in mind before you start adding things to your cart:
-
We’re not seeing any amazing deals on travel adapters, neck pillows, packing cubes/luggage organizers, GoPros, or pet travel gear yet, so you won’t find any on our list (below). Fingers crossed that those will start popping up as we get closer to Prime Day proper.
-
We’re updating this page constantly, so check back often. All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a
strikeoutwere either sold out or no longer available at their sale price when we last looked. Anything marked with a 🔥 has dropped to an all-time low price.
Get set, jetsetters:
Why we like them
Apple’s first pair of non-Beats-branded over-ear headphones can fit a little wonky for glasses-wearers and those of us with small heads. But “[when] it comes down to it, the AirPods Max(opens in a new tab) check off almost all the boxes for what makes an excellent pair of headphones,” wrote former Mashable tech reporter Brenda Stolyar: “great sound quality, ideal battery life, easy controls, and a stylish design (sans Smart Case).”
Amazon has revived their all-time low price of $429 from last Black Friday (down 22% from their $549 MSRP), and it’s tough to see them getting any cheaper than that.

Portable charger deals
Why we like it
Boasting over 26,500 five-star reviews on Amazon, this beefy portable charger(opens in a new tab) from Anker packs 26,800mAh of juice — that’s enough to power most phones over 6 times and most tablets at least twice. It has three USB output ports, so you can charge multiple devices simultaneously.
Peep its new all-time low price ahead of Prime Day: It typically retails for $66.99 on the Anker website(opens in a new tab), but you can snag one on Amazon for only $52.69 (a 21% savings).

Why we like it
Travelpro is a luggage brand beloved by pilots and flight attendants, and this 29-inch hardside spinner comes from its Maxlite collection of ultra-durable, lightweight suitcases. Available in several stylish finishes, the cheapest one being “Ensign Blue,” it features a TSA-approved lock, a zippered expansion, a moisture-resistant interior lining, and interior divider panels with multiple accessory pockets.
This one’s also sitting at its lowest price to date: Amazon has it listed for just $144.49, which is 37% off the $249.99 MSRP we saw on the Travelpro website(opens in a new tab).

Bookmark this one for later: Prime members who haven’t purchased or reloaded a gift card(opens in a new tab) before will receive a $12.50 credit in their account when they do so on Prime Day. Its selection includes Airbnb(opens in a new tab), Amtrak(opens in a new tab), Hotels.com(opens in a new tab), Lyft(opens in a new tab), Southwest Airlines(opens in a new tab), Uber(opens in a new tab), and even some cruise lines(opens in a new tab) — the only catch is that you have to spend at least $50.
