It’s not often that you find a genuine leather wallet at such a great price — right now it’s nearly 40% off during this early Prime sale. At just $10, this durable and versatile wallet has space for both cash and cards — and it’s available in over 30 colors. Five card slots, a small opening for cash and an ID window keep things simple so everything’s easily accessible when traveling.
One of over 40,000 five-star reviewers said it’s just what they needed for their long trip. “We just spent three weeks backpacking through Europe, and this was very useful,” the shopper wrote. “I needed a small, thin wallet to hold my bills and main cards in the money belt. … This minimalist wallet did the job.”
Prime members, this one’s for you! If you’ve been meaning to upgrade your current luggage this two-piece set is screaming your name. At just under $35 this is the lowest price we’ve seen this carry-on bundle priced at in years.
It comes with a 20-inch suitcase that’s just the right size for over head storage and a personal item bag that slides over the carry-on’s handle with a trolley sleeve. Each piece even has external zippered compartments to store your wallet, passport or any items you need to quickly reach when you’re running to your gate.
“I’m a flight attendant and I absolutely love this luggage set,” one travel pro wrote. “Sure, there are other brands to recommend, but this was a pleasant surprise. I am shocked at how durable and dependable this set is.”

If you’ve ever tried to settle in for an in-flight snooze, you know it’s a challenge. If you’re trying to get some Zs, you may need some extra reinforcements. Travelers say this 100% memory foam neck pillow is the closest they’ve gotten to sleeping on an actual bed pillow. It even comes with a drawstring carrying bag for you to store it once you land.
“I’ve gone through several different kinds of neck pillows and this is my favorite,” one flight crew member wrote. “I have a bad neck (arthritis and a reversed C-spine). I had to sleep with it once in a hotel because their pillows were dreadful and found it more comfortable! As a flight attendant, I recommend!”
This hanging toiletry bag strikes just the right balance between roomy and compact, and it has loads of convenient features that seasoned travelers love. In addition to the six built-in pockets and multiple slots, it comes with a detachable, transparent cosmetic bag that’s TSA-approved, making a trip through security speedier.
Several flight crew members praise this well-designed bag for simplifying traveling with toiletries. “As a flight attendant, this bad has saved me so much time and packing,” one travel pro wrote. “No need to have several different bags to pack your toiletries because this bag has so many compartments.”
Travel experts and frequent flyers say packing cubes are one of the easiest ways to stay organized. If you tend to overpack or always seem to forget something, they can keep everything tidy and easy to find. In addition to an array of bags in various sizes, this eight-piece set includes a toiletry bag, a shoe bag and a sock bag.
“I’m getting ready for flight attendant training and wanted to buy these to help me organize the many things I need to bring,” wrote one reviewer. “What surprised me is that both pairs of high heels fit in the shoe bag.”

Here’s your plan B: This phone holder lets you prop up your device to watch your favorite shows or movies, hands-free and at eye level. It easily attaches to your tray table or luggage handle, so it’s a no-brainer, space-saving add-on.

I’ve found that traveling is always smooth sailing for me when all of my documents and credit cards are easily accessible, and the easiest way to do this is by combining everything you need into one. This faux leather passport case also functions as a wallet, so you’re able to store your passport, credit cards, some cash, driver’s license, boarding pass and even your SIM card all in one pouch. It’s also waterproof and has an RFID-blocking shield to keep all of your cards and private information safe from unauthorized scans.
“It’s always a hassle in the airport keeping track of everything, but this helps keep it all in one place. I even had vaccination papers I needed that fit well inside,” one shopper wrote.
We are, of course, fans of all these great features, but we also love the 45 gorgeous colors we can choose from — and we’re pretty big fans of the 44% on-sale discount.
Today, traveling isn’t as simple as grabbing a bag and heading out the door. Now, you likely have to make sure you pack your laptop, tablet and your phone — and you can’t forget the chargers for each device! This case keeps all of the cables you need neatly organized and even has different layers and compartments to make sure nothing gets tangled.
“This is perfect for all the cords and gadgets for a flight,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “It’s about the size of my hand, and even comes with a wrist band. This is very lightweight, but really nice quality.”
If your feet sometimes swell when you fly, you’re not alone — it’s caused by cabin pressure, and investing in some good compression socks is an easy fix. They help increase blood circulation, especially if you’re on a lengthy flight and will be sitting for hours on end. These popular compression socks have over 59,000 five-star reviews on Amazon and shoppers say they’re even great for travelers with big calves.
“Best compression socks I have ever bought,” one happy traveler said. “These are great quality and easy to put on but do not ‘strangle’ my calves. The compression is consistent after using and washing for months — they do not lose their elasticity.”
