As soon as the weather turns warm, we're all tempted to pack our bags and journey somewhere far, far away. If you do decide to travel on a whim (as you should), be extra sure you've gathered all the essentials that might come in handy.

It's a good thing Amazon's early Prime Day deals include some hefty discounts on travel gear.

We'll be regularly updating this page with all the "worth-it" prices we find on luggage, noise-canceling headphones, pet gear, and other travel essentials (and splurges). Stay tuned as we inch closer to the big days (July 11 and 12).

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a , while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Amazon's exclusive invite-only deals are marked with a 📨.

Noise-canceling headphones deals

Why we like them

Mashable's Alex Perry was not impressed with the original Amazon Echo Buds, but the second iteration "deliver good sound quality, effective ANC, and a slimmed down build for a startlingly low price of $119.99." Ahead of Prime Day, these babies are even cheaper — the version with an old-school wired charging case is on sale for just $64.99, while the version with the wireless charging case is down to $84.99. We've seen the wired charger version drop down to an even lower price, but this is the first time the wireless charging version has hit a price this low.

Luggage deals

Why we like it

Our favorite carry-on luggage — the Samsonite Freeform hardside expandable spinner — is currently on sale ahead of Prime Day as part of a convenient two-piece set. You can snag both the 21-inch carry-on and 28-inch checked suitcase for only $201.30 — that's 43% in savings. Samsonite is known for its reliability, durability, style, and function, making it a solid choice for both seasoned travelers and first-timers alike. While many of the color varieties have sold out, there's still a handful left to choose from at this low price, including sleek black and pastel blue.

Our pick: BriskTails Cat Backpack Carrier
$42.99 at Amazon (save $46.96 with on-page coupon)

Why we like it

The BriskTails Cat Backpack Carrier comes with a protective leash, self-blocking zippers, and the ability to be harnessed by a car seatbelt for an added layer of protection. The carrier even expands to allow your kitty some room to stretch, while its easy-to-open mesh windows ensure a constant supply of air. While this carrier retails for $89.95, you can use the on-page coupon to drop the price down to just $42.99 and save nearly 40%.

Portable charger deals

Why we like it

Snap this Anker 622 MagGo portable charger to the back of your iPhone 12, 13, or 14 and get a quick battery boost on the go. You won't have to fight for the outlet at the airport and deal with a dead phone when it comes time to call your Uber pickup. It features a built-in kickstand to prop your phone up for comfortable viewing as well, so you can actually use your phone while it's juicing up. And with the current $30 discount, you can snag it for its lowest price to date (but only in the black colorway).

Hotel and flight deals

Why we like it

While this deal isn't available yet, it's worth mentioning in advance so you can prepare yourself for savings. Priceline is joining forces with Amazon to deliver the first-ever Prime Day online travel deal to consumers on July 11 and 12. Priceline is already known for its impressive everyday savings, but for two days only, shoppers can get an extra 20% off hotel express deals. You'll have to spend at least $300 to get the deal, with a maximum savings of $75. If you have upcoming travel plans, it'll be worth the wait to book exclusively on Prime Day.
