I'm a Frequent Flier, and These Are the 16 Presidents Day Deals I'm Telling Everyone to Grab-From $7

"As a travel editor, I get a few questions on repeat: What's your favorite trip? Probably Iceland. And what's the best travel gear? I've got you covered. Whether I'm on a plane to Paris or Egypt or Greenland, there are a few things I never leave home without, like my AirPods and a good pair of comfortable shoes -and one secret I always tell my friends is that there's no better time to snag great deals on these travel essentials than long weekends."

"Here's a secret I've learned: flight attendants love Travelpro luggage-and one even told Travel + Leisure they love this 21-inch carry-on to pack an entire month's worth of clothes. If you ask me, that's a good endorsement. Besides a spacious compartment that expands up to two inches, it's also got two exterior pockets, smooth skate rollers, and a stain-resistant, water-repellent outer material. Now is a good time to upgrade while it's under $150 at Amazon."

Presidents Day sales on Amazon feature deep discounts on essential travel gear. Flight-attendant-favored Travelpro Maxlite 5 21-inch expandable softside carry-on offers a spacious compartment that expands two inches, two exterior pockets, smooth skate rollers, and a stain-resistant, water-repellent shell, currently priced under $150. Compression packing cubes from Bagail compress clothes for more efficient carry-on packing and improve organization. Apple AirTag four-packs allow tracking of checked luggage via the Find My app to locate lost bags. Popular portable items also include Apple AirPods and podiatrist-recommended New Balance comfortable shoes. Long weekends present strong opportunities to buy discounted travel essentials.
