I'm a Flight Attendant, and Here Are the 13 Life-changing Travel Items to Buy During October Prime Day-From $9

"As a flight attendant with over 10 years of experience, I've found that the changing of the seasons usually means swapping out some of the essentials I keep packed in my bag. With summer fully behind us and chillier temperatures ahead, I'm taking out items like summer matching sets and sandals and replacing them with warmer layers and versatile shoes. Now is the time for any traveler to take stock of their go-to items and see what could use an upgrade for fall."

"The massive October Prime Day sale offers a great opportunity to upgrade your travel accessories and essentials, from spacious gear, like a carry-on backpack that can hold everything, to versatile clothes, like a stylish sweater dress you'll wear all fall. After 11 years of packing and unpacking my bags for a living, I'm confident as a subject matter expert on things that make your life in the air or on the road a little bit easier."

Swap summer clothing and sandals for warmer layers and versatile shoes as temperatures drop. Inventory go-to travel items and replace or upgrade pieces for fall. Use major sales like Amazon Prime Big Deal Days to buy travel essentials at discounts, including carry-on backpacks, packing cubes, and versatile knitwear. Choose backpacks with organized compartments, external zip pockets, and a luggage-sleeve for stacking on rolling bags. While boarding, slip the backpack to the chest on the jet bridge for easy access and to avoid bumping aisle passengers. Prioritize spacious, multifunctional gear that suits both air travel and road trips.
