16 Best Amazon Long Weekend International Travel Deals

I’ve been covering Amazon sales as a shopping writer for almost five years now. That, combined with my more than 20 years of travel experience, has helped me master where to find the best deals on everything from luggage and travel accessories to comfy shoes and airport outfits. Leading up to Amazon’s Long Weekend sale, I made a list of must-have items that I’ve waited to go on sale (because it’s when discounts are at their steepest).    

Now that the Amazon deals are officially available, my top picks are currently up to 53 percent off, and I’m telling everyone I know to buy them. Some of my must-haves include Samsonite luggage, Skechers sneakers, and more for as little as $7. 

And, if you really want to shop like a pro, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial Amazon Prime membership to score two-day free shipping on most items. Keep reading to check out all my writer-approved long weekend deals.

Apple AirTag 4-pack

My worst fear is losing my suitcase abroad, which is why I’ve invested in luggage trackers. Apple AirTags use Bluetooth to connect to your iPhone’s “Find My” app, so you can keep a close eye on your checked bag from the moment you drop it off at airport check-in to when you arrive at your destination. It’s also the size of a quarter, so it’s small enough to slip inside a luggage pocket or even your wallet.  

Veken 8-set Packing Cubes

This set of packing cubes has everything you could need to help keep your suitcase organized on international trips, especially if you’re trying to stay carry-on-only on your Europe trip. There are eight different-sized bags (including a shoe pouch) for you to sort your clothes by item or outfit. The mesh material lets you instantly see what’s inside, so you can avoid unzipping everything to find that top you’re looking for.

Samsonite Freeform Spinner Carry-on Luggage

This carry-on has become a Travel + Leisure favorite for its spacious interior and smooth-rolling wheels that make it easy to maneuver through the airport, cobblestone streets, and more. One traveler took it on 53 flights and said it’s the perfect size to fit in an overhead bin, and that it could hold up to a week’s worth of clothes.  Plus, nothing screams “tourist” to locals (and pickpockets!) faster than hauling oversized checked bags abroad).

Soyok Portable Luggage Scale

I’d rather know ahead of time if my luggage is overweight, which is why this digital luggage scale is so handy when traveling abroad, where airport baggage rules and size requirements vary. It uses a flexible strap to secure around your suitcase’s handle. Then all you have to do is lift the scale, and the digital display tells you the exact weight of your bag. 

Wiholl 2-piece Matching Set

Cozy, elevated, and versatile, this two-piece matching set is on sale for less than $28 and makes an ideal travel outfit for anywhere in the world. The fabric is “soft and breathable, perfect for airports or long car rides,” according to one Amazon shopper, while another traveler said it was “perfect” for their “very long flight” to East Asia. Plus, it’s also worth mentioning that one reviewer shared that it “never wrinkles.”

Skechers Go Walk 5-honor Sneakers

These Skechers sneakers have a slip-on design that makes them easy to take off and put on while going through airport security. They’re made with the brand’s special Air-Cooled Goga Mat technology that offers lightweight cushioning, arch-supporting flexibility, and shock absorption for long days on your feet. One traveler wore them every day on a trip to Finland, Iceland, and Estonia, where they averaged 20,000 steps a day, and said their feet were “in Heaven.”  

Matein Carry-on Backpack

Made with an expandable design and convertible straps, this travel backpack is a must-have for all international travelers—it’s no wonder the brand has become pilot-approved. The inside compartment can hold up to five days’ worth of clothes, according to the brand, and it has four compression straps to help keep your belongings secure. It’s small enough to fit under most airplane seats, allowing it to replace a smaller personal item.

Jisulife Portable Mini Fan

When you’re walking around a tropical city or stuck on a stuffy flight or train, you’ll be glad you packed this mini fan for some instant relief. It has up to 19 hours of battery life on a single charge and has two different speed settings. When you’re done using it, fold the device into a compact size that’s small enough to slip into your bag. 

Lucky Brand Basel Waterproof Chelsea Boot

Strategic packing is essential for international travel, which is why I always recommend bringing a pair of versatile shoes to avoid overloading your suitcase with multiple styles. Case in point: These Lucky Brand Chelsea boots, which double as stylish everyday leather booties and rain boots thanks to their waterproof construction.

Eachy Travel Makeup Bag

This travel makeup bag has a clever design that lets you easily organize your toiletries. The bag opens wide enough that the compartments lie flat, so you can see everything inside at once. There’s also a divider that’s also a pouch, which can hold your makeup brushes, hair ties, or even jewelry. One reviewer said it was spacious enough to hold more than 20 products and keep everything organized.   

Charmast Portable Charger

When I’m sightseeing, I like to have a portable charger with me to keep my phone at full battery. This Charmast charger has built-in cables, so you don’t have to remember to pack a separate cord. It includes a variety of ports that can charge up to six devices at once, and it’s slim enough to slip into a belt bag, so you can keep it within reach. 

Napfun Neck Pillow

Reviewers love the “super soft and cooling” feel of Napfun’s neck pillow, which has already been purchased more than 30,000 times in the past month. It’s made with memory foam and can fold down into a more compact, travel-friendly size. One shopper slept with it on and off the plane for six months straight and called it a “game-changer” for its comfort, breathability, and adjustability. 

Beats Studio Pro Wireless Headphones

One of the best deals I’ve spotted is on these Beats wireless headphones that come with “amazing” battery life, as per one shopper. A single charge can last up to 40 hours, which is enough to get you through an entire day of traveling (and then some). It also has noise-cancelling technology that’ll help block out airplane noise and distracting passengers.

Iseyyox Foldable 3-in-1 Charging Station

This genius charging station is a must-have for its ability to charge three Apple products at the same time, including your Apple Watch, AirPods, and iPhone. It also cuts down on how many charging cords you need to pack, and you only have to rely on one outlet when you’re using it.

Etronik Weekender Duffel Bag

There are thousands of travel bag deals to choose from during the long weekend, but this sleek style caught my attention for all of its handy features that will make carry-on-only travel easier. It has a shoe compartment that’ll keep your dirty footwear separate from your clothes, as well as a built-in USB port to instantly recharge your devices. Plus, the caddy strap lets you slip it onto your luggage to help keep a free hand.

Maxtop Crossbody Bag

This crossbody bag is perfect for keeping your in-flight essentials within reach. You can wear it across your chest or waist, and it has a roomy main pocket that can hold your portable charger, phone, wallet, earbuds, and sunscreen. The most handy feature is the hidden back pocket that’ll keep your passport and cash extra secure.
