Amazon Prime Day is coming in hot (formally July 8 through 11) and one seasonally appropriate category that’s already popping off weeks before the official event is travel deals. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your luggage or in-flight entertainment, there are plenty of discounts to help you do so on a budget. Heck, Amazon has even partnered with travel companies like Budget and Expedia to offer Prime Day deals on travel experiences. So you can book a trip and get all of the gear you need to make it successful, all while saving some money.
Mashable’s shopping experts are keeping track of all the best travel deals Prime Day has to offer, including luggage, noise-cancelling headphones, Kindles, charging accessories, and more. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Check back for more as we get closer to the big day(s).

Instead of relying on Uber and Lyft to get around on your next trip, you can rent your own wheels and save. For Prime Day, Amazon customers get exclusive car rental benefits at Budget. Sign in to your Amazon account on Budget’s website to unlock up to 30% off base rates on rentals for your next trip. Plus, 10% of the time and mileage charges incurred will be returned to you in the form of an Amazon gift card. You’ll receive your gift card at the email associated with your Amazon account about 48 hours after your rental is complete. Head over to the promo page for more details on terms and conditions.

Best luggage deal
Why we like it
Traveling is already expensive enough as it is. Opt for a carry-on only and avoid those checked bag fees (compression packing cubes are your best friend). This one from American Tourister will get the job done and won’t cost you a fortune, as it’s down to just $45.89 (nearly half off) ahead of Prime Day — its best price on record. Just be sure to select the on-page coupon before checking out. The Stratum 2.0 carry-on has all the essentials for a solid suitcase: spinner wheels, a durable hard shell, an ergonomic carbon fiber handle, expandable capacity, and interior pockets. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s a great value for the cost.

Best travel accessory deal
Why we like it
If you’re an iPhone user who travels regularly or tends to lose things, AirTags are a must-have for keeping track of your belongings. Attach them to your luggage, purse, keys, backpack, instrument, etc. and as long as there’s an Apple device nearby with FindMy turned off, you’ll be able to see precisely where you are in proximity to your stuff. I used them for the first time on my first trip to Europe, and now I swear by them. At $74.99 for a four-pack, you’re getting a pretty great deal. However, we have seen them drop about $10 further in the past. It may pay off to wait until Prime Day proper to snag a set.

Best charging deal
Why we like it
Portable power is essential for travel, but you can’t trust any old power bank on Amazon. Anker’s portable charging gear is some of the best, and you can’t go wrong with the 633 MagGo — especially while it’s down to just $42.99. It’s compact, can attach to your phone via magnets, doubles as a foldable stand, and can juice up your phone quickly, thanks to its 20W USB-C output. Just $3 shy of its best price ever, you can rest assured you’ll be getting a great deal if you snag it before Prime Day.

Best noise-cancelling headphones deal
Why we like it
Mashable’s headphones expert Bethany Allard selected the Sony WH-CH720N as the best early Prime Day headphones deal, noting that they’re a more budget-friendly option than the new Sony WH-1000XM6s. They’re lightweight and reliable, feature an impressive 35-hour battery life with noise cancellation on, and have multipoint pairing. Our sister site CNET (also owned by publisher Ziff Davis) writes, “The CH-720N offers the appealing combination of a lightweight, comfortable design with respectable performance.” We’ve seen them drop to a lower price before, but at $119, they’re still a steal.

Mashable Deals
We fancy the iPad Air as the best Apple tablet for most people. It’s more budget-friendly than the iPad Pro, but can still handle tough design jobs, as well as streaming, reading, and other creative projects. You could even use it as a laptop substitute and it’ll work swimmingly. It’s also lightweight, has impressive battery life at over 14 hours, and features a brilliant 11-inch display.
As our Apple expert writes, “While $50 off isn’t the most jaw-dropping deal for this 11-inch Air, it’s a decent markdown to kick off Prime Day season. We just hope to see it drop another $50 down to its record-low $499 by the time the official sale start comes around.”
