Before this, we'd never traveled just the two of us-but after talking about it for years, we finally made it happen. As a travel writer, I loved bringing my sister into my world-we flew my favorite airline (I'm a diehard Delta loyalist), experienced the coveted Delta One lounges at LAX and JFK, explored a beautiful city, learned all about Danish culture (particularly the lovely "hygge" mindset), took in the city's famous minimalist fashion, and made some irreplaceable core memories.

I've spent the better part of this year combing through Amazon sales, and it takes a lot for a deal to make me pause mid-scroll. But once the after-Christmas discounts rolled in, a few markdowns stopped me in my tracks-especially on travel essentials I already own, swear by, or currently have sitting in my cart. From $10 layering basics to editor-approved sneakers and luggage that looks designer-level at baggage claim, these are the kinds of finds that make post-holiday shopping feel like a win.

Right now, the brand is offering a generous 30 percent discount on its full range of quality bags and suitcases for Black Friday 2025. It means big savings on its slick suitcase sets, hard-shell suitcases, carry-on bags, travel accessories, and backpacks, so you can create a full travel solution for less. Plenty of Antler suitcases have been tried, tested, and recommended by the Conde Nast Traveler team. The Icon cabin suitcase is a consistent winner,

Santa might have a team of nine magical reindeer to accompany him on his travels around the world, but we'd argue a reliable suitcase is the next best thing. Whether you're a pro at fitting a week's worth of clothes inside a carry-on or you prefer to check in your bag and bring all the outfits you please, your suitcase is an essential travel companion.

These days, I only take long trips that require packing a suitcase about once a year. Because of that, I don't spend much time looking at the luggage in my house, and when the time comes once again to lug them out and pack them up, it dawns on me. Oh, right: My suitcases are all pretty old. And aside from one teal-hued hard-shell roller, they're all plain black.

Flight attendants typically spend 60 to 90 hours a month in the sky, so when they rave about a suitcase, we pay attention. They know luggage regulations, airports, and overhead bins like the back of their hand and take all of them into consideration when shopping for a suitcase to use for work or on their personal travels. Across the board, the luggage that flight attendants choose to leave five-star reviews for shares certain key qualities:

Black Friday may still be weeks away, but Amazon already has early deals rolling in, and some of the deepest discounts are reserved for Prime members only. From comfy travel clothes to podiatrist-approved comfy shoes, these early markdowns on travel essentials make it easy to refresh your packing list before holiday trips and winter getaways. Whether you're gearing up for a long-haul flight or planning a cozy cabin escape, now's the moment to snag serious travel upgrades before the shopping rush.

Verified Away promo codes can help you save on signature stylesfrom $150 off select luggage to 15% off your first order. Whether you're planning a cross-country road trip or a flight abroad, these savings make it easier to pack stylishly and travel smarter. For those new to Away, this 15% off welcome offer is the perfect invitation to experience what makes the brand a modern travel icon.

On my long trips to Asia, I always breathe a sign of relief when I glance at my phone and find that my checked suitcase has been loaded onto the aircraft. And I often wish I had one in my carry-on suitcase, especially when the overhead bins run out of space and the flight attendant checks my bag at the gate.

You want something that carries you from check-in to baggage claim without making you look like you've given up on life - not fully, anyway. As a menswear writer, I've tested just about every option - tailoring on a red-eye, trackies through Heathrow, even double denim at JFK (which felt like a great idea, until it wasn't). After enough trial and error, I've landed on a travel uniform that I can actually trust.

As someone who takes more than 30 flights every year, I am constantly on the lookout for great deals on travel essentials like luggage, packing cubes, travel pants, and any other items that make the experience more comfortable and convenient. Right now, my best opportunity to snag those items on major sale is during Target Circle Week. I've covered this sale for the last two years, and this year's selection can't be missed.

Investing in high-quality luggage is one of the best things you can do for yourself if you travel often, and Lo & Sons excels at thoughtfully combining fashion and function to create sustainable bags you'll love to wear. While they typically boast a (well-deserved) steep price tag, the brand is now hosting a rare Back to Business sale with up to 40 percent off top-rated purses, weekenders, and backpacks.
