UPDATE: Jun. 27, 2023, 12:30 p.m. EDT This story has been updated with the latest deals on travel gear ahead of Prime Day.
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).
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(opens in a new tab) 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(opens in a new tab) 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.
