Amazon Prime Day (or shall we say, days plural) is back — and it's longer than ever. For the first time, the summer shopping event spans four full days, from July 8 through July 11, giving Prime members 96 hours to score deals across millions of items, including travel.
Many travel companies, including hotels and airlines, are hopping on the Prime Day shopping momentum and offering their own deals outside of Amazon, so even non-Prime members can score travel deals this week.
Here are the top Prime Day 2025 travel deals we’ve spotted so far:
Prime Day deals on travel bags, backpacks and suitcases
Here’s some of the best gear available right now for Prime members:
Bought too many souvenirs? This monster 150L duffle bag could save you. Since it folds flat, you can sneak it in your suitcase just in case you return with more stuff than you brought.
This hard-sided spinner suitcase from Samsonite is a sleek, durable option for serious travelers. It can take a beating on long-haul flights while still looking stylish. The expandable shell and smooth 360° wheels make it perfect for longer trips where you can’t pack light — or don’t want to.
This phone case doubles as a crossbody wallet, keeping your phone both safe and accessible. The price above is listed for the iPhone 16 Pro version, but Bandolier makes versions for a variety of smartphone models.
Prime Day deals on other travel tech and accessories
Apple AirTag (4 Pack):34% off — $64.99 (was $99).
Keep tabs on your checked luggage with AirTags. These coin-sized trackers help you locate your bags, keys or backpacks with an app on your iPhone, allowing you to see where the AirTag (and thus whatever item you tucked it into) is at all times.
Though not as good of a deal per unit, you can also buy just one AirTag for $19.99 (was $29).
Save $180 on these premium noise-cancelling headphones, ideal for long-haul flights or busy airports. With 40 hours of battery life, spatial audio and USB-C lossless compatibility, they’re great for both Apple and Android users.
If you prefer something a little more compact, you might go with the AirPods Pro 2, which are roughly the same price. Like the Beats Studio Pro headphones, these also offer active noise cancellation.
Perfect for campers, hikers or festival-goers, this solar-powered portable charger has a flashlight, wireless charging, and even USB-C compatibility. It’s not a full replacement for an outlet, but in a pinch, the sun's got your back.
Ready to document your travels in ultra-crisp 5.3K video? The HERO12 has HDR, livestream capability and killer stabilization — all packed into a waterproof shell that’s ideal for underwater adventures.
No need to print out and frame your photos. This frame lets you send photos directly from your phone to display, so you can show off your vacation pictures instantly.
This snack box delivers Japanese treats treats like ramen, Japanese KitKats, Pocky and sodas straight from Tokyo. Each 2.8-pound box is curated by local experts and includes a 20-page guide that breaks down each item (with allergen info) and offers cultural insights into modern Japanese snacking.
Think of it like a vending machine tour of Tokyo without the jet lag. Great for Japanophiles, anime fans, or anyone curious about international snacks.
Nothing tastes like travel quite like a Biscoff cookie. These are the inflight snack on many airlines, but this deal lets you nosh on them at home — for a discounted price.

If you are an Amazon Prime member, you're eligible to apply for the Prime Visa, which has a $0 annual fee. Though, Amazon Prime membership typically costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year.
This Chase-issued card is particularly great for shopping not just on Amazon, but also Whole Foods. It also earns decent rewards in other spending categories. Here's how much you'll earn on the Prime Visa:
5% back at Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market.
2% back at restaurants, gas stations and local transit, including rideshare.
1% back on all other purchases.
Cardholders of the Prime Visa can also earn 10% back in rewards on select products through "Prime Card Bonus" offers. Eligible products include electronics, apparel and more.
🤓Nerdy Tip
Just in time for Prime Day 2025, there's a limited-time offer where Amazon Prime members who apply and are approved for the Prime Visa will instantly get a $250 Amazon gift card. The deal is available through July 14.
Best for booking other travel
Since many deals on actual travel items are processed directly through the travel provider — not Amazon — you're often better off using a travel credit card that earns bonus points on travel purchases (booked outside of the issuer's travel portal).
