15 Flight Attendant-loved Amazon Spring Sale Deals

The spring travel season has arrived, and with it, the itch to get outside and visit any and every warm climate destination. But, now that you have your plane tickets and cruise passes, let me ask you: When was the last time you looked at your spring travel gear? 

As a flight attendant of almost 11 years, I know the importance of a good packing list and rely on my tried-and-true lineup of suitcases, travel accessories, and wardrobe staples to keep me ready for anything when I'm flying (whether it's for work or fun). Below, you'll find the 15 best deals from the Amazon Big Spring Sale, each marked down up to nearly 80 percent and equipped to help you make the most of your next spring trip (and even help you make room in your carry-on luggage for an extra pair of shoes). 

Rockland London Hardside 3-piece Luggage Set

Blowout sales like the Amazon Big Spring Sale are the best times to upgrade your travel gear — especially your luggage. Right now, you can score this three-piece Rockland luggage set for a whopping 79 percent off and refresh your suitcase collection in one budget-friendly swoop. The traveler-loved 20-inch carry-on has a reputation for holding up to two weeks' worth of clothes, while the checked bags wow shoppers with their durability that shows “not one ding or dent.”

All Included 10-set Packing Cubes

Packing a bag should always start with packing cubes. Each individual cube compresses your items so you save space and keep you organized throughout your trip, acting almost like dresser drawers for your suitcase. Whether you pack the cube with outfits for each day or separate tops and bottoms from each other so they're easier to find, this discounted set is the savviest one to have at your disposal and will keep you ready for adventure.

Taygeer Travel Backpack

This backpack has been on my radar for quite some time, but I'm finally adding it to my repertoire now that it's on sale. I love that it has a pocket for my water bottle, easy access for my electronics outside, and secure compartments inside the larger zipper pocket in addition to ensuring a small carry-on's worth of extra packing space. Did you see the cute colors it comes in? No matter your current aesthetic, there's one to match your travel style (and the Amazon Big Spring Sale discount ensures you'll have funds for an airport coffee before boarding).

Twelve South AirFly Bluetooth Wireless Transmitter

While airlines are updating onboard technology, a few airlines still have the old-style headphone jacks on their in-seat screens. Here’s your fix. I saw a passenger a few weeks ago with this handy adaptor plugged in and they were able to use their own Bluetooth headphones so they have much better sound quality and don't have to rely on the provided cabled headphones to enjoy a movie. 

Not flying? This travel tech gadget also helps you connect your wireless headphones to tablets and laptops on road trips, train rides, and more. 

Apple Watch Series 10 

It's not often Apple products go on sale, so when they do, I’m quick to upgrade. I couldn’t believe this Series 10 Apple Watch was discounted by 25 percent. I always recommend the Apple Watch to travelers because it helps you keep track of every step and answer calls and texts without pulling your phone out. Plus, it has amazing safety and GPS features that come in handy when you’re not traveling in your usual spots.

Lamicall Universal Waterproof Phone Pouch

Tell me what’s worse than drowning your phone on vacation. Water damage in our personal tech is a universal frustration and this on-sale waterproof pouch is cheap insurance. I love that it's not phone-specific, so you can throw it in your beach bag and be worry-free for the many smartphone upgrades and iterations to come. Even if water sports aren’t your thing, you’ll be glad to have your phone protected while you’re out chasing waterfalls or hanging by the pool.

General Medi Mini First-aid Kit

The older I get, the more I appreciate being prepared for everything. After searching an entire vacation rental for a couple of Band-Aids and finding none, I came straight to Amazon and found this stellar first-aid kit deal, and now I'm always stocked with everything I need. The scissors are TSA-approved sized, so there's no fear of getting pulled for secondary screening, and the pouch is easily refillable as you deplete supplies. As a matter of fact, I recommend getting one for every one of your travel bags while you're at it.

Sure Lock TSA-compatible Travel Luggage Locks Set

From beach totes to checked luggage, it's nice to have a little peace of mind when you need to leave your valuables behind. When I’m out adventuring on layovers, these luggage locks make it easy to secure my bag so electronics and other valuables don’t get misplaced. I like them for my locker at the gym and the spa too.

Cupshe Square-neck One-piece Bathing Suit

On a recent girls' trip to Hill Country in Texas, a friend was wearing this darling Cupshe one-piece (which is on rare sale) and reminded me that I needed to upgrade my collection of bathing suits from last year. I’m typically a two-piece girl, but I loved how feminine and comfortable she looked in it — and that you can wear it as a top in a pinch for a nice lunch after the beach. 

Skechers Go Walk Flex Walking Flip-flops

Truth is, my Havaianas Flip-flops never leave my roll aboard. But they do need a refresh occasionally. If you'll be spending lots of time on your feet (or simply hate blisters and achy heels), Skechers' Go Walk Flex Walking Flip-flops are on sale and make the ultimate travel companion thanks to their ultra-cushioned midsoles, flexible outsole, and contoured, arch-supporting design. 

PrettyGarden V-neck Ruffle Tiered Smocked Midi Dress

It's no secret I love traveling in a midi dress. Doesn’t matter if it’s by car, train, plane, or cruise ship, I’m always departing and arriving in some version of the classic dress. During the Amazon spring sale, you can get this PrettyGarden version for as little as $33, which is a no-brainer because this dress matches any spring adventure vibe with its airy fabric, flattering smocked waistband, and comfy short-sleeve silhouette. 

Automet Linen Matching Set

A packing mistake I see plenty of travelers make is not embracing the matching set trend. It's a surefire way to always have the perfect outfit — one that requires little to no effort to style and can even be mixed and matched with other pieces to double your options. This breezy one-and-done duo from Automet is ideal for springy destinations and can be warmed up with a sweater, cardigan, or lightweight jacket as needed. 

Lane Linen 6-pack Beach Towel 

As someone who travels for a living, I prioritize accessories that will add a touch of home to my hotel room. I've made a habit of bringing my own towel to avoid the rough and tiny towels resort-provided ones, and to ensure I always have something handy if I want to check out a local beach or simply wash my face in-flight. 

This six-pack from Lane Linen is not only beautiful but versatile too. They’re big enough to use as a light blanket stargazing at night and have the perfect level thickness towels to be effective without taking up too much luggage space.

Burt’s Bees Aloe Vera Face Wipes

After all that fun in the sun, an aloe cooldown is always welcome. I love this 30-pack set from Burt's Bees because it's so easy to travel with; traveling with aloe is always trickier than it seems (and I've had travel bottles explode all over my luggage many times). These wipes eliminate that problem and work great for makeup removal, too. I love any item that serves more than one purpose.

Jisulife Handheld Mini Fan

It seems that no matter which mode of public transportation you’re on, the temperature is never right. For me, it’s always too warm. This fan has been a favorite of mine and my fellow flight attendants and it's available now at a big discount. We love that it has a stand so we can enjoy a steady breeze while making drinks or cabin announcements. When the plane temperature fluctuates, you can cool down fast too by positioning it on your seatback tray table.
