13 Best Amazon Memorial Day Deals From a Flight Attendant

I’ve been a flight attendant for almost 11 years, so I know exactly what I need to make a flight go smoothly—and what’s just extra weight in a carry-on. And I’m always refreshing my travel gear because even the best stuff wears out eventually. With Amazon’s Memorial Day sale in full swing, it’s the perfect excuse to swap in some new favorites and even find a few travel gems I didn’t know I was missing. 

I’ve already spotted some smart picks at Amazon, with prices as low as $6 and discounts up to 81 percent off. From space-saving gadgets to cozy layers that make long flights a little more bearable, these deals are too good to pass up. If you're looking to upgrade your travel kit, now’s the time.

Yilans Portable Charger

I definitely did a double-take when I saw the price on this portable charger from Yilans. With integrated cords and a digital battery life display, this power bank is all you need. Marked down 81 percent, this deal isn’t one to miss. Be sure to pack this power bank in your carry-on bag—TSA and your flight crew will thank you.

OlarHike 10-piece Compression Packing Cube Set

Have I mentioned that organized luggage is imperative to me? While my home may be a little more chaotic, when I’m traveling, I have no time to search for my delicates bag or where my socks are stashed. This set of compression packing cubes is a great start to making sure everything in your suitcase is tidy, in its place, and tucked neatly into cubes that make for compact packing.

Epicka Universal Travel Adapter

Whether your summer travel plans take you somewhere international or on a road trip with friends, this universal adapter will be a huge help. Domestically, you can use it to plug multiple electronic items into one socket. It’s also handy abroad: simply select the plug style you need to adapt to, and voila, you’re back to 100 percent in no time. I’ve found that in European hotel rooms, there are seldom enough outlets, so I love that I can plug in multiple items using this handy device.

Bagsmart Travel Toiletry Bag

Every flight attendant knows the secret to organized luggage is that everything has a dedicated spot. I love the efficiency of this spacious toiletry bag by Bagsmart because each compartment opens widely for easy access to all my travel-sized must-haves. The hanging hook is a helpful bonus when I come across a hotel room with little counter space.

Jisulife Handheld Mini Fan

A staple in every flight attendant’s bag is some kind of rechargeable handheld fan. This three-in-one option from Jisulife is compact and operates as a fan, flashlight, and backup power bank. It can even last up to 19 hours, depending on the fan speed. The flashlight feature has been particularly helpful when searching for lost passenger earbuds after flights.

Anrabess Sleeveless Crewneck Jumpsuit

Out with the cashmere, in with the jumpsuits. Every traveler deserves a little wardrobe refresh come summer, and this lightweight jumper is a total game-changer. It’s incredibly soft, breathable, and easy to move in—perfect for long flights, sightseeing days, or just lounging between adventures. The adjustable drawstring waist adds a flattering fit (and makes room for that extra helping of local cuisine). It also comes in a range of solid colors that are easy to dress up or down with just a few accessories.

JBL Tune 510bt Bluetooth Headphones

You probably love your in-ear headphones, but hear me out. I grabbed this pair from JBL last summer and have zero regrets. My favorite part is the 40-hour battery life—no charging necessary for weeks! I typically use my AirPods around the house and while on layovers, but if I’m on the plane for pleasure, these are my go-to. They hang on my neck during boarding, and I never have to ask the flight crew to help me find a tiny earbud on the airplane floor after everyone has deplaned.

Tocelffe 18-piece Toiletry Bottle Set

Most flight attendants don’t travel with full-sized toiletries—lugging around 12 ounces of shampoo and conditioner takes up precious space for souvenirs. Not all of my beauty must-haves come in TSA-approved sizes, so I love using this reusable toiletry bottle kit to fill in for me. Skincare essentials easily fit in the tiny jars, and I only have to refill the haircare bottles a few times a year.

Toms Alpargata Slip-on Flats

I’ll never give up my favorite Havaianas flip-flops, but it’s always smart to pack a comfortable slip-on—especially for travel days when you want something easy and supportive. Toms loafers are a longtime favorite for good reason: they’re lightweight, breathable, and incredibly easy to slip on and off at security or during a long flight. The cushioned insole offers just the right amount of comfort for exploring or dashing through the terminal, and the classic style goes with just about anything in your suitcase.

Narwey Barrel Drawstring Makeup Bag

When I first started flying, my budget didn’t allow for a second set of makeup—everything had to travel with me, securely and compactly. That’s where a drawstring makeup bag became a game-changer. The barrel-style design opens wide so I can see everything at once. It’s also surprisingly roomy, with built-in holders that keep brushes and essentials organized. Whether I’m getting ready in the perfect morning light on a patio or at a hotel vanity during a layover, it’s a go-to that makes beauty on the go effortless.

Riiqiichy Pashmina Wrap

I never board a plane for leisure travel without some kind of wrap or blanket. Despite what many think, flight attendants don’t have full control over the cabin temperature—and it often gets a bit too chilly for my liking. This wrap is the perfect solution: it’s large enough to double as a lap blanket, and soft enough to bundle up as a makeshift pillow. Whether you wear it as a shawl or toss it in your tote just in case, it’s one of those travel staples you’ll be glad you packed.

Barefoot Caribou Hair Tool Travel Bag

Hair tools have become a travel essential, but quick exits from my hotel always have me worried that I’m melting something or may start a fire. With this hair tool travel bag, it’s been so nice having everything in its own compact case, with cords neatly wrapped and no issues with heat transferring inside or outside of my luggage. It even has a helpful heat-resistant mat to protect surfaces and offer additional peace of mind.

Heritage Store Rosewater Face Mist

Sunny days are lovely, but they can seriously dry out your skin—especially when you're constantly on the go. That’s why I always keep a mini bottle of hydrating face mist in my purse and luggage. This rosewater spray is one of my favorites: it’s refreshing, alcohol-free, and gentle enough for sensitive skin. The TSA-approved size makes it easy to bring on board, and a quick spritz mid-flight or after a day in the sun instantly revives and hydrates your face without messing up your makeup.
