Labor Day is approaching, which means that it’s time to catch up on the best internet sales. There are, of course, many deals to shop, but I’ll personally be using the holiday weekend to save on cozy travel pants. There’s nothing worse than packing for a trip, only to realize that you’re fresh out of yoga pants or leggings and need to wear jeans to the airport. Trust me, I’ve been there—and I instantly regretted my decision. Don’t get me wrong—my denim pants were stylish, but they were not at all suited for a day spent at the airport. By the time I reached my destination, I was overheated, annoyed, and desperate to change into something more comfortable.
To avoid another mishap, I’ve decided to refresh my collection of travel-friendly pants. There are already tons of options on sale ahead of Labor Day, including an assortment of flexible yoga pants, buttery-soft leggings, wide-leg trousers, and more that’ll take you from baggage claim to your first item on your travel itinerary.
Best of all, the deals start at just $17. I don’t mean to alarm you, but these sales won’t last forever, so if you see something you like, don’t hesitate to grab it! The newest addition to your closet is waiting below.

Best Amazon Deals
Amazon
You can always rely on Amazon for a great deal, and its Labor Day sale is no different. The retailer has tons of fabulous yet comfortable travel pants to shop. My favorites are listed below and include yoga pants, leggings, capris, and sweats. Personally, I’d snag the Willet Cotton Sweatpants for my next long-travel day, but you can’t go wrong with any of these picks. Here’s a tip—think of your next adventure and choose accordingly. If you’re going somewhere tropical, a pair of casual capris will be well-suited for warm climates, whereas a city trip might call for trendy wide-leg pants.
G4Free Yoga Pants
Amazon
These yoga pants come in many colors and size options, ranging from XXS to 3XL. Additionally, there are five inseams to choose from to ensure you get the perfect fit, whether you need petite or long lengths.
Best Nordstrom Deals
Nordstrom
Nordstrom has been supplying its customers with elevated basics for years, and now, you can stock up on essentials from the Nordstrom Labor Day sale, with tons of deals on travel-ready pants. For example, these Lands End sweatpants are made of mostly cotton, so you can guarantee they’ll feel soft against your skin, while the Caslon Drawstring pants are made entirely of linen, so they’re a great option for late summer or early fall trips when the weather is still a bit warm.
Caslon Drawstring Straight Leg Linen Pants
Nordstrom
Who says travel pants can’t be trendy? This Caslon pair at Nordstrom is crafted with 100 percent linen and features a handy draw-string adjustment so that you can cinch the pants to your waist. Pair it with a tank and sandals, and get ready to feel instantly stylish on vacation.
Best Athleta Deals
Athleta
Athleta knows how to craft a garment that’s flexible, comfortable, and, best of all, fashionable. It offers a host of travel pants that strike a balance between comfortable and stylish, so you can find something that won’t look sloppy on flying days or will hold up on a long walking tour. Try the Elation High-rise Leggings that are made to be moisture-wicking and breathable, so they’re perfect for a day when you’ll be moving around a lot. Want something more fashionable? The Lunar Sheen Utility Pants have a cool street style look that will set you apart—and feel comfortable for all-day wear.
Drift Mid-rise Poplin Pant
Athleta
These poplin pants are easy to pull on and adaptable for a busy travel day. Reviewers boast about the comfort level, but be wary of the sizing—the wide silhouette gives them a baggier fit. I love the oversized look, but if you want something more polished, you may want to size down.
Best Vuori Deals
Vuori
Vuori’s pants are perfect for lounging, which makes them a great companion on hectic travel days. Whether you’re traveling by car, train, or plane, a pair of Vuori leggings, pants, or trousers will ensure you get to your destination in total comfort. One of Vuori’s top-sellers, the Performance Jogger, is marked down to $75, promising four-way stretch and unbelievably soft material. For an option that’s as fitting for the office as a European city getaway, try the Meta Wide-leg Pants, which have a stylish pleat down the front of each leg, yet are still made with the brand’s stretchy, quick-dry material.
Inversion Rib Legging
Vuori
These Vuori leggings feature stylish ribbing to elevate the look, making them as fitting for a morning yoga sesh as a red-eye flight. Reviewers love the texture and say the material is very comfortable.
Best Lululemon Finds
lululemon
Lululemon has never let me down. Its high-quality activewear lasts forever—in fact, I still have a pair of joggers from 2018! With that in mind, I shopped around for options that you can wear time and time again in the brand’s special “We Made Too Much” section. For example, the Heavyweight Fleece Pant is a perfect staple piece that can work in chilly airports and cold destinations, while the Dance Studio Mid-Rise Pant would be great for a morning walk along the beach or sweating it out at the hotel gym.
Heavyweight Fleece Pant

I love that these Lululemon sweatpants feature a wide leg opening instead of a drawstring closure that’s typical on sweats. The look is fashion-forward and pairs well with a simple pair of tennis shoes or slides, taking your airport outfit to the next level.
Best Madewell Deals
Madewell
If you’re in the market for polished travel pants that you’ll wear both on the plane and at your destination, look no further than Madewell. The best part is the brand is offering an extra 40 percent off when you use the code LONGWEEKEND at checkout. Grab the Pull-on Utilty Pants to add some edge to your look, or the popular Zoe Relaxed Wide Pants that are 100 percent linen for the perfect summer-to-fall option.
Pull-on Utility Pant
Madewell
I absolutely adore the construction of these utility pants. They are stretchy, machine washable, and feature a cargo design that’s both trendy and functional. With four deep pockets, you’ll have plenty of room to store any travel accessories that you want on hand.
Best REI Deals
REI
REI is an outdoors-friendly retailer, so it makes sense that its clothing is fit for an adventure. Everything I found is crafted with movement in mind, so you don’t have to worry about your clothes holding you back, whether you’re planning on a walking-heavy trip or you have a fall stacked with hiking adventures. Best-selling Patagonia pants are discounted by 30 percent, while the Mountain Hardwear Rockrydge Pants can be used for climbing and are made with a durable cotton, nylon, and elastane blend.
Patagonia Outdoor Everyday Pants
REI
These baggy, wide-leg Patagonia pants are easy to style. Thanks to their low-profile aesthetic, you can pair them with a simple T-shirt or dress them up with nicer shoes and accessories for a more versatile suitcase essential. Plus, they feature an elastic waistband and are comfortable for all-day wear.
