The Best Travel Finds on Amazon in 2025

As someone who tests travel products for a living, I’ve tried more items than I can count this year—from luggage to noise-canceling headphones to sun-protective clothing. Some were forgettable, some were just okay, but a few stood out as the best of the best. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite things I’ve tested this year, which are all on sale right now and starting at just £10. 

Each item on this list has been personally tested by me (and sometimes by additional Travel + Leisure editors), and has earned a spot on my travel essentials list. Take advantage of the sale prices while you can; these are worth a spot in your Amazon cart and suitcase, and the low prices won’t last long.

Best Overall Deals

Samsonite Freeform Carry-on Spinner

We love Samsonite luggage here at T+L, and our editors have tested over 40 pieces from the popular travel brand. When it comes to carry-on luggage, it’s hard to beat the original: the 21-inch Samsonite Freeform Carry-on Spinner. It combines the brand’s sleek design with functionality, offering a surprising amount of packing space inside a relatively compact hardside bag.  Right now, you can get it for 36 percent off in select colors on Amazon, and I highly recommend snagging a piece from the brand while it’s on sale.

Iniu Portable Charger

I recently took a safari trip in Uganda and Kenya, and knowing I’d be without power sources for long stretches at a time, I decided to upgrade my portable charger to this one from Iniu. After my fellow T+L editors voted it as runner-up in our portable chargers test, I knew it wouldn’t let me down—and I was right. 

This slim charger, which has become one of my favorite travel products, packs a punch, charging itself up within an hour and taking my phone from 25 to 100 percent in about the same amount of time. I also love the LED paw that displays how much juice it has left. Get it for just £16 during the sale. 

Gonex Compression Packing Cubes

I use compression cubes in some capacity whenever I travel, whether it’s just one to store socks and underwear or the entire set to keep my suitcase organized. This set from Gonex, on sale for 42 percent off, is one of my favorite options for its simplicity and functionality. The set of four offers each bag in a different size, which is great for versatility, and the tough ripstop nylon ensures my clothes stay safe inside. These travel essentials are simple but get the job done, and are currently a steal during Amazon’s sale. 

Lo & Sons Original Catalina Deluxe Premium Canvas Duffel Bag

Lo & Sons is loved by many T+L editors, with items like their Nouvelle purse recently making our crossbody bags round-up. I love the luxury brand as well, and I’m personally excited to see the Original Catalina Deluxe Premium Canvas Duffel Bag on sale for 30 percent off right now. This tote is definitely splurge-worthy, with a high-quality build and smart features like detachable straps and a built-in shoe compartment. It’s also roomy enough to fit everything I need for a day out, whether I’m heading to the beach or embarking on a road trip. 

Stouchi AirTag Passport Holder

As an anxious traveler, I can’t believe I lasted this long without a trackable passport. That’s why the Stouchi AirTag Passport Holder, one of T+L’s favorite passport holders, is the perfect solution for anxious travelers. We love that it has an integrated pocket designed especially for an AirTag that allows you to keep track of your valuables. Crafted out of genuine leather, it’s also pretty stylish, too.

All Good Face & Body Sunscreen Lotion

Our favorite sunscreen pick for delicate and sensitive skin, this lightweight sunscreen blends easily without skin irritation.  It doesn’t have a strong smell and leaves your skin looking and feeling hydrated after application. While the lotion only goes up to SPF 30, All Good does offer a Mineral Sunscreen Butter Stick of SPF 50 for those wanting some extra protection. Snag this non-greasy pack of two, now on sale for £19, or under £10 a pop.

Merrell Women’s Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots

These popular hiking boots from Merrell routinely make T+L’s hiking boots roundups, and I can attest to their quality, comfort, and support. Currently priced at 41 percent off, these boots are sure to make any hiking trip better with excellent ankle support, traction, and stability. I’ve worn these throughout the Pacific Northwest, and they still look and feel great on my feet. Plus, they’re waterproof, so they’re ideal for crossing streams and puddles. In my opinion, these are an excellent option for beginners who aren’t sure which boots are best and don’t want to spend a fortune trying these out. 

Mzoo Sleep Eye Mask

An eye mask is always on my list of travel essentials while on the go, and I love this one from Mzoo. It features memory foam eye cups that block out all light without pressing directly on the eyes. Not only is this more comfortable, it also prevents makeup from smudging, which is my biggest beef with traditional eye masks. It’s one of our favorites for a reason, and right now it’s 41 percent off. Other notable features include an adjustable strap with a flat buckle and supersoft fabric. It also comes in eight colors, so you’re sure to find something that fits your personal style.

Travel inspira Luggage Scale

I am almost always a carry-on only traveler, which means I have to be extremely careful about how much I cram into my suitcase to avoid paying fees on budget airlines. This luggage scale is one of the best travel products I own and has saved me a lot of hassle and stress, since it allows me to weigh my bag at my home or hotel instead of holding my breath at the airport. It’s affordable on its own and happens to be 38 percent off right now, making it a total steal. If that wasn’t enough to convince you, it won our best overall spot when put head to head with 7 other scales.

Buyue Travel Neck Pillow

This comfy travel neck pillow allows you to get comfortable in a small space when there isn’t much wiggle room, making it one of our favorite travel pillows that we’ve tested. After testing the pillow on both road trips and long flights for three months, we found that the fabric is breathable and soft for resting your head on. It’s pretty easy to adjust, too. Snag it while it’s on sale for £15.

Automet Women’s 2-piece Lounge Set

As much as I respect people who dress up for flights (and potentially score a first-class upgrade), I’m never going to be one of those people. I am a comfort-first traveler, which is why I love this two-piece set for long flights. Currently 33 percent off, it’s soft, loose, and cozy without running hot, making it ideal for various methods of public transportation. I love the slightly oversized fit that makes me feel like I’m wearing pajamas, and the fact that it comes in five colors—I currently only own one, but I’ll be stocking up while it’s on sale.

Apple AirTag

As lost baggage becomes more of a “not if but when” dilemma for travelers, luggage trackers should be on everyone’s list of travel essentials. I bought my first Apple AirTag (currently 31 percent off) last year and was immediately grateful it helped me track the suitcase that got left in Chicago during a layover. This AirTag connects seamlessly with iPhones and has an impressive range when it comes to locating bags. Roughly the size of a quarter, it’s easy to toss into virtually any suitcase, backpack, or purse. 

Yeti Rambler Vacuum Insulated Tumbler

I’ll be loyal to my Yeti Rambler Tumbler until the end of time. It’s the most-used bottle in my home, and right now you can score one for just £32—an impressive 20 percent off the original price. I prefer the 30-ounce version, which holds just enough water, coffee, or tea for one, and is perfect for sipping an iced drink at home or on the go. The double-wall vacuum insulation keeps liquids hot or cold for hours at a time, so you can bet I’ll be taking this on all my beach trips this summer. 

Eddie Bauer Women’s Rainier Pants

As an avid hiker, I’ve tested my fair share of hiking pants over the years. I love the Eddie Bauer Women’s Rainier Pants for a few reasons, including the stretchy fit, lightweight design, and the already affordable price that’s now a whopping 69 percent off. These come in a wide range of sizes and three colors. The simple fit makes these great for many outdoor activities as well, so you can wear them while golfing, biking, or even boating, thanks to the UPF 50+ sun protection and quick-drying fabric. 

Portland Leather Classic Leather Tote Bag

I’m a tote bag girl at heart, so I’m always on the hunt for one that checks all the boxes. Lately, I’m loving this one from Portland Leather, which is made from real leather all the way through. Although these bags are on the pricey side, the quality speaks for itself—this bag truly feels like it’s going to last forever.

Marshall Monitor III A.N.C. Headphones

I wear these headphones (currently eight percent off) almost every day, and recently took them on a trip to Uganda and Kenya. They were a lifesaver during my 30-hour journey, helping me block out excess noise on airplanes, buses, and more. I particularly love how comfortable they are on my ears—I can wear these for hours at a time without needing a break. The audio quality is excellent, and the noise-cancellation is superb, plus the battery lasts for up to 100 hours without a recharge. They also fold down to a small size and come with a sturdy case that will keep them safe throughout your travels.
