15 Editor-loved Amazon Black Friday Deals 2024

The saying goes: “Do what you love and the rest will follow.” I guess you could say that’s how I became a shopping editor. Now I get to use bargain-hunting shopping skills daily by helping travelers find the best deals on products that will elevate their trip experiences. A major component of my job is staying on top of the biggest savings opportunities of each season, and now that Black Friday is here, I’m excited to share the can’t-miss markdowns with my fellow online shopping enthusiasts. 

It’s no surprise that Amazon’s Black Friday sale is leading the pack this year, and as I enter my fourth year of covering the retailer’s massive annual sale, I’m looking at the discounts with much more discernment to ensure they’re actually worth the buy before I recommend them to my travel-loving friends and family members. Below, I’ve rounded up the 17 best Amazon Black Friday deals that deserve a spot in your carts for their quality, design, functional features, and how they can improve your overall travel experience. But don’t wait — snap them up while they’re up to 51 percent off and starting at $12 today. 

Best Overall Deals

Luggage & Travel Bags

Samsonite Freeform Hardside Expandable Luggage Set

Whenever my wanderlust friends ask what they should buy from the Amazon Black Friday sale, I always direct them to the luggage deals. This year, I found an amazing two-for-one discount on this Samsonite luggage set, which comes with a 21-inch carry-on and a 28-inch checked bag. Both luggage pieces have a durable hardshell exterior and an expandable design to safely and easily fit everything you need. 

Bandolier Emma Crossbody Phone Case and Wallet

If you ask me, this Bandolier two-in-one phone crossbody wallet is a practical and thoughtful gift for travelers, and it’s on rare sale. The celebrity-loved deal comes in handy for concerts and events where you don’t want to carry a big bag, but it also has surprising anti-theft benefits; keeping your phone on the strap adds an extra layer of protection from pickpockets when you’re on the go. 

Fit & Fresh Neoprene Weekender Bag

Pro tip: Check out Amazon’s new arrivals for freshly dropped fashion and travel bag finds. I struck gold with this Neoprene Weekender Bag, which looks just like luxe versions from brands like Dagne Dover that are basically quadruple its price tag. I love the roomy main compartment and its multiple storage pockets, which easily fit and organize my laptop, toiletries, and other weekend trip must-haves (you can even fit a pair of shoes in the biggest one). It also makes a quality personal item bag when I’m flying; shout out to the trolley pass-through sleeve! 

Coach Hamptons Bag

The Amazon Black Friday sale also has impressive deals on designer items. If you’re looking for a new handbag or shopping for someone with high-end taste, you’ll want to take a gander at this leather Coach bag deal. Currently 30 percent off, it makes an ideal travel purse with its spacious main compartment, nifty interior pockets, dog leash-style clip closure, and short shoulder strap (which drapes closely to your side). 

Travel Packing Hacks

Gonex Compression Packing Cubes

My job allows me to test travel products regularly, and I’ve yet to be wowed by any other packing cubes than Gonex’s version. Here, the sturdy nylon material acts like a vacuum to remove excess air from the cube, helping you free up to 30 percent more space in your suitcase. They’re especially great for traveling with bulky clothing items like sweaters, jackets, and sweatpants in the winter, but they truly shine in any season.  

Bagsmart Electronics Organizer Travel Case

Another genius travel accessory that needs to be on your radar is the Bagsmart Electronics Organizer. It may seem like your average travel case at first, but trust me, it’s a total game-changer for how you pack. It ensures that everything has a secure and easy-to-find spot in your personal item bag or carry-on thanks to its multitude of pockets, pouches, and compartments (aka: you won’t be that traveler who’s wrestling tangled cords in their seat or tearing the contents of their bag apart in the plane aisle to find your earbuds). 

Walnew Apple AirTag Passport Holder

One thing I’ve learned as a travel editor is Amazon tends to reserve the best deals for Prime members during big sales. This rings true on Black Friday, and this Apple AirTag-compatible passport holder is a great example. Amazon Prime members can get the important travel accessory for up to 22 percent off in select colors, and it’s a must-buy because it keeps your passport and other travel documents double-protected; if you misplace your passport, the attached Apple AirTag will show you its real-time location on your iPhone. 

Travel Tech

Apple AirTags 4-pack 

The second major rule I’ve learned as a travel editor is that Apple AirTags are non-negotiable. Whether you’re on team carry-on-only or team checked bag, you won’t regret adding one of these handy Bluetooth trackers to your suitcase (or your personal item bag, duffel, purse, and backpack, for that matter). It keeps an extra eye on your bag so you can have peace of mind that it’s supposed to be at all times. 

I also heavily recommend these to my solo traveler friends as they can be used as personal safety devices; keeping one on your person when you’re out and about lets your loved ones know your location in case of emergencies. 

Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise-canceling Headphones 

Traveling with a quality pair of noise-canceling headphones is essential, but it’s rare to find big savings on top-rated models like the Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise-canceling Headphones. Luckily, this Black Friday, they’re 44 percent off at Amazon, which means you can save $154. Even without the discount, these headphones remain a worthy purchase for their impressive noise cancelation, long battery life, and easy-to-use design. I’ve been eyeing them for their comfortable earpads, which reviewers noted prevent discomfort when wearing them for long periods. 

Charmast Portable Charger With Built-in Cables

I’d be remiss not to give Amazon’s travel tech deals their moment — particularly this one on the Charmast Portable Charger. Immediately what sets it apart from its counterparts is that it comes with built-in charging cables, which is a game-changer if you’re always misplacing yours or find the one you use always gets tangled up when it’s connecting your phone to the power bank. What’s more, it can charge multiple devices at once and its powerful battery life lasts some shoppers up to 24 hours. 

Comfortable Travel Clothing

Btfbm Half-zip Pullover Sweater

Take it from me, Amazon’s Black Friday fashion deals should not be overlooked, especially when it comes to luxe-looking sweaters. This travel-friendly pullover is a great sweatshirt alternative for flights with its warm knit construction and relaxed fit. Even better, you can get multiple wears out of it by pairing it with jeans, trousers, skirts, and more on your trip — helping you pack smarter without needing extra items. 

Lillusory 2-piece Cardigan Matching Set 

If “cozy” is the best word to describe your wardrobe on any given day, then you need to check out this on-sale matching set from Lillusory. For $31 with a double discount, you get a perfectly oversized cardigan and matching joggers, both made with comfy waffle knit fabric that’s soft and breathable. A versatile travel outfit for any trip, this adorable matching set is a suitcase must-have because you can mix and match the pieces with other tops and bottoms to double your vacation wardrobe — genius! 

Koolaburra by Ugg Burree Slippers

Amazon is also a secret spot to find savings on Ugg and its sister brand Koolaburra. Right now, you can get these cozy braided Koolaburra slippers for just $55, which is a rarity for trendy footwear styles like this. The faux fur linings and suede uppers ensure warmth while the sturdy rubber soles provide traction on any surface. 

Crz Yoga Butterluxe High-waist Flare Pants

I actually bought these comfy travel pants after getting the recommendation from my sister, and this Black Friday, I’ll be picking up another pair in a new color. The wide, high-rise waistband offers excellent support and compression when I’m on the move, and the flared hems elongate my short legs and give the yoga-style pants a trendy element that makes them easy to dress up when needed. 

Anrabess Long-sleeve Crewneck Top

The Crz Yoga pants above plus this Anrabess long-sleeve top equals my foolproof travel outfit — and go-to outfit on any given day. I love this Amazon shirt because it goes with literally anything; it can be dressed up with jeans to go out and dressed down with sweatpants or leggings when I want to be more casual. Right now, it’s only $15 — and I’m definitely ready to add one (or two) more of them to my closet. 

Outdoor Gear

Coleman 4-person Sundome Camping Tent With Rainfly

My outdoorsy boyfriend has been itching to camp more, but there’s one problem: he needs a camping tent. I’ve been closely monitoring the Coleman Sundome Camping Tent’s price tag for weeks, and now is the perfect time to buy while it’s marked down to $49 for Black Friday. The top-rated tent is a shopper-favorite pick for its fast assembly, easy-to-travel-with design, and waterproof exterior. While I’m browsing Amazon’s outdoor gear deals, I might as well pick up this on-sale Coleman Self-inflating Sleeping Bag (because odds are, I’ll be joining my boyfriend on his next camping trip — and I want to be as comfy as possible). 

Columbia Women’s Transverse Hike Waterproof Shoes

I can always expect stellar deals on Columbia hiking boots during Amazon’s Black Friday sale, and this newly added style will make a great pair for fall hiking trips with its mid-ankle height and waterproof leather uppers that keep the cold and rain out. Plus, their cushy insoles will provide ample arch support and the rich brown-beige-olive green colorway is sleek enough to pass for everyday boots (which means you don’t need to pack multiple pairs of shoes — you can wear these all over your destination).
