What real-world vacationers are literally shopping for from Amazon Prime Day

Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detector — $15.34

Being able to detect a dangerous, odorless, invisible gas while on the road for under $16 was clearly top-of-mind for TPG readers as this was one of the most-ordered items, with a price drop down from $27.99 during the sale. Weighing in half a and 1.5 inches by 4.5 inches by 2.75 inches, this is both affordable and easy to toss in your travel bag to have while staying away from home. —

Apple AirTag Four-Pack — $88.49

By now, you’ve probably heard us sing the praises of AirTags for keeping an eye on your things — especially if you plan to check bags. While they aren’t on a huge discount in the Prime Day sale, they are going for a little less than normal.

Anker Portable Charger – $23.99

Getting caught out by a dead battery while you’re on the move can be a huge inconvenience. In terms of pet peeves, it’s probably up there with sitting next to someone on a flight that won’t respect the unwritten rules of the armrest.

Keep your devices powered with a portable charger, like this one from Anker which can charge an iPhone 13 almost 5 times over.

Apple AirPods — $89.99

Who needs the latest tech when a new-to-you previous model will do the job? Here at TPG, real-world travelers vastly preferred picking up a pair of under $100 AirPods via the Prime Day sale than splurging on the latest model. This second-generation pair will still have you listening in style.

Get second-generation AirPods for just $89.99.

Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) — $139.99 (normally $169)

If AirPods have been on your wishlist for a while, this is a good time to pick up the third-generation AirPods at a decent discount.

Apple Watch (Series 8)

You can save over $100 on the latest 2022 Apple Watch, which gives the standard-bearer smartwatch some handy new features. In addition to its standard fitness tracking tools, it monitors heart rhythm and blood oxygen. There’s a temperature sensor and car crash detector that automatically calls 911. It has a slightly improved battery life over the Apple Watch 7 (around 18 hours, or 36 hours in low-power mode).

Packing cubes — $22.99

Another packing cube option in the Prime Day sale is from Veken. This set of six packing cubes promises to fit up to 45 items of clothing.

These normally cost $29.99 and are now available with a 23% discount for $22.99 in various colors. With over 19,000 ratings for an average customer review of 4.7 stars out of 5, these cubes are popular among users.

Epicka universal travel adaptor

If international travel is on your agenda, you can pick up this international travel adapter that will charge up to six devices at once and work in over 150 countries, including the U.S., Canada, Japan, Ireland, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany and beyond.

GOTDYA travel pillow

As much as we’d love to do it all the time, traveling in business or first class just isn’t always possible; sometimes, the only way to go is economy. If, like us, you find it tricky to sleep in the confines of a clunky economy seat, you should invest in a quality travel pillow like this one from GOTDYA. This one provides perfect support and is made from comfy, premium memory foam that could transform your flight.

ROCKLAND Melbourne spinner wheel luggage

This lightweight and hardy expandable case has swivel castor wheels and tough, extendable handles made from aluminum. It comes in a variety of colors and compared to some other luggage options on the market, shouldn’t break the bank — which is great news considering its quality and 4.5 stars Amazon rating.
