I’m always on the go—be it for work, pleasure or just to visit family and friends. And after taking nearly 40 flights in the last two years alone, I’ve (naturally) learned a thing or two about how to make my travels more seamless—and more importantly, which travel products I always need to make sure I have packed.
There are the usual suspects: A portable charger, universal travel adapter and a quality luggage set. But there are also a ton of under-the-radar gems I’ve discovered through Amazon—like this genius digital luggage scale (perfect for weighing your bag on the go) and space-saving toiletry bag.
Some of my most beloved Amazon travel essentials are currently discounted ahead of Amazon’s October Prime Day 2025 sale, making this week the ultimate time to stock up on the best travel products from Apple, Delsey and more.
