From October 6-7, Amazon is running its Prime Big Deal Days. That makes now a great time to pick up some travel supplies, whether you're planning on traveling this summer or gearing up for a trip later in the year.
My wife and I have been digital nomads for over nine years. Over that time, we've gotten very picky about what travel items and supplies we haul around the world. Here are our favorite travel items that are on sale during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.

Bose QuietComfort Noise-Canceling Headphones
Planes can be loud. Whether you want to drown out the noise or want better sound quality when watching a TV show or movie, noise-canceling headphones can be clutch for travel. Although they aren't the smallest item to pack, I carry my Bose QuietComfort 45 noise-canceling headphones with me around the world.
Amazon has dropped the price of a similar set of Bose headphones by up to 53%, down to $169 — the lowest price in at least 30 days. Check your options and buy it here.
Anker Power Bank
Whether you're hoping to work on the road or just keep your cell phone charged, having access to power is essential. That's why we carry power banks in our carry-on bags to ensure our phones and laptops always have power — even on long-haul Turkish Airlines flights without power outlets.
The 25,000 mAh fast-charging 165W Anker power bank I use is currently on sale for just $95.99 — that's 29% off the standard price. Buy it here.
Or, if you're looking for something cheaper and lighter, this 10,000 mAh battery pack is still powerful enough to fully charge an iPad and costs just $19.75. Buy it here.
Luggage Trackers
Luggage trackers have become a nearly essential travel tool — even if you are Team Carry-on. And I learned just how critical these can be when I accidentally left my passport wallet on a flight to Madrid back in 2023. Thankfully, I had a Tile Slim tracker tucked in the passport wallet, enabling me to track its progress until I was reunited with it.
Tile is offering a few products for sale for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days. A four-pack of trackers costs just $49.99 after a 38% discount. Buy a four-pack here. Or, you can buy just one tracker for as cheap as $14.99 after 40% off. Buy one here.
If you're an Apple person, you can pick up a four-pack of 2nd-generation Apple AirTags for $89 after a 10% discount (buy here), or just one AirTag for $24 (buy here)
Shoe Insoles
During our travels, I walk a lot — averaging over 10,000 steps a day. In addition to good shoes, I find supportive insoles to be well worth the price. I've been using Superfeet insoles for over a decade. For Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, several Superfeet options are discounted by at least 20%, dropping the price of a pair to as cheap as $47.86. See your options here.
Compression Socks
Blood clots are a hazard of long-haul travel. And, unfortunately, I know personally just how much they suck to deal with, especially overseas. That's why Katie and I make sure to wear compression socks whenever we fly for more than a couple of hours. These lightweight knee-high socks leave our legs ready for exploring a new city on arrival, rather than swollen and achy.
I've primarily been wearing Dr. Motion compression socks, but they're not currently on sale. However, you can save up to 54% on a three-pack of similar socks. After the discount, a three-pack of socks costs just $12.34 — or just over $4 a pair. Buy it here.
Melatonin Tabs
One of the clutch supplies we carry with us on every trip is melatonin. This sleep support supplement helps us doze off when we need help adjusting to a new time zone — or when a busy day of work still has us buzzing late at night. Just be careful if you haven't taken melatonin before. I recommend getting the 3 mg tablets and starting with one. If you don't find that effective, you can always double it.
You can currently pick up a whopping 240 quick-dissolving melatonin tablets for just $7.74 — which is 29% off the standard price. Buy it here.
Nuun Hydration Tabs
Travel can be exhausting. Buying water or sports drinks can be expensive — particularly in touristy destinations. Depending on where you're visiting, the taste of tap water can range from delicious to hard to swallow. That's why we pack several canisters of Nuun electrolyte tablets. We can pop one of these tablets in our water bottle, fill it up, and have a nice-tasting and reinvigorating drink in about a minute.
For Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, Nuun packages are discounted by up to 41%. For example, you can currently snag a four-pack of 10 tablets for $15.61 — less than 40 cents per tablet. Or see all of the discounted Nuun options here.
