Yes, Presidents Day is best known for mattress discounts in the retail world, but we've found that it's also prime time to snag major travel deals. If you have any trips planned and need to update your luggage collection or the items in your bag, now's the time — the best Presidents Day travel deals start at just $8.

Brands like SwissGear, Travelpro, Bagsmart and even Apple (AirTags, anyone?) are offering some pretty steep discounts for shoppers. Some of the best we've found include this softside expandable medium suitcase at Amazon that's 50% off. Prefer an entire set? This one-stop-shop Travelers Club pick from Macy's comes with four pieces and is over 60% off. Deals also include a flight attendant-approved travel pillow, a worldwide travel adapter, a large tote bag and more. Be sure to add some of these deals to your cart before prices jump.

Here's a veteran luggage brand that's known to last, and this piece is the lowest it's been since December. The smooth telescopic handle is easy to pull and two easy-access front pockets keep essentials accessible. It also has tons of internal storage and a zippered wet bag for those damp swimsuits you need to pack when heading back from a tropical trip.

"I can fit a week's worth of clothes in this bag," one five-star reviewer wrote. "I like soft-sided luggage because the hard-sided frame limits the amount you can carry. [I] like the four wheels for ease of movement. Using two wheels is good for those rough surfaces. Best of both worlds."

Luggage sets just give you so much bang for your buck, and this one is a steal. It comes with a carry-on, a 26-inch checked suitcase, a tote and a toiletry bag. The expandable suitcases have a cool separation feature that shoppers love, and the hard-sided outer shell can withstand those harsh tosses and drops at baggage claim. You can choose from 12 colors, but we love this bright blue.

One fan wrote, "I was very impressed with this luggage. The handle is easy to pull up, and push back down when needed. The cases swivel easily, and overall they are very lightweight. I'm pretty good at packing so I was able to fit quite a bit into the larger case. It came with four pieces altogether that included a smaller bag that I was able to easily fit my hair dryer and toiletries, and an even smaller makeup bag."

This stylish five-piece set comes with every kind of bag you could possibly need. Along with a 20-inch carry-on, a 24-inch checked suitcase and a 28-inch checked suitcase, you'll also get a duffel bag and toiletry bag. Best of all, they can all be nested inside one another for easy storage.

"This gift was a hit!" one fan wrote. "The bags all fit inside one another. Easy to open, and rolls easily. Great value and product!"

Looking for a no-frills lightweight tote that's just the right size for your personal item? This quilted option fits the bill and has space for all the essentials. It has one roomy main compartment, three interior pockets and a sleeve that fits up to a 15.6-inch laptop. Plus, it comes in nine vibrant colors. This is about as low as the price goes.

"Lightweight, sturdy, great bag to carry essentials on the airplane, and fits nicely under the seat," one fan shared. "I would highly recommend this product to anyone needing a good looking, sturdy, organized bag for travel. I will be using this as an overnight bag for weekend getaways in the future and am considering ordering another one for my daughter."

When it comes to luggage recommendations, flight attendants' opinions rank at the top of our list. It's no secret that Travelpro is professional fliers' favorite luggage brand, thanks to its durability and lightweight build. This 25-inch medium checked suitcase is the perfect size for weeklong trips when you don't want to lug around a huge checked bag.

"So lightweight and glides smoothly while holding a ton of stuff," one five-star reviewer wrote. "I have a Travelpro carry-on that has taken a beating over the last four years, but still looks great. That gave me the confidence to buy this one sight unseen. Very satisfied."

Speaking of what flight attendants prefer, this hard-sided Travelpro carry-on is what one crew member swears by when she's not on the clock. It's even been tested to fit in the overhead bins on most major domestic airlines (and passed with flying colors). 

"This suitcase is excellent. I am flight crew and use the soft side for work, but prefer this design for leisure," the travel professional wrote. "Super light and sturdy. I had to check it, and not a scratch to be found. Highly recommend."

Monos' all-star carry-on is one of its most popular deals. It has a durable polycarbonate shell that's almost impossible to destroy and wheels that are so quiet, you can barely hear them when you're running to your gate. It's a popular pick among crew members too.

"I am a flight attendant," one reviewer wrote. "This bag is great! Rolls really well and looks great!"

"As a flight attendant, I purchased this for myself and as a gift for someone else," one wrote on Amazon. "We both have received many compliments walking through airports. They hold bottles small and fairly large, as well as able to place your phone in the other compartment. You can't beat it."

Travel is rarely as simple as grabbing a bag and heading out the door. Nowadays, you likely need to pack your laptop, tablet, earbuds and phone — and don't forget the chargers. This case keeps all of the cables neatly organized with layers and a variety of compartments to make sure nothing gets tangled. It's currently just $2 more than the lowest it's ever been.

"This is perfect for all the cords and gadgets for a flight," one five-star reviewer wrote. "It's about the size of my hand, and even comes with a wristband. This is very lightweight, but really nice quality."

Travel experts and frequent fliers say packing cubes are one of the easiest ways to stay organized. If you tend to overpack or always seem to forget something, they can keep everything tidy and easy to find. In addition to an array of bags in various sizes, this eight-piece set includes a toiletry bag, a shoe bag and a sock bag.

"I'm getting ready for flight attendant training and wanted to buy these to help me organize the many things I need to bring," wrote one reviewer. "What surprised me is that both pairs of high heels fit in the shoe bag."

The best way to find your zen when traveling is to stay as organized as possible — and this palm-sized passport wallet has just enough compartments to keep important documents within reach. It's slim enough to slip into any pocket and has slots for a passport, credit cards, a boarding pass and even a pen. Best of all, it has built-in RFID blocking to protect sensitive personal data. This passport wallet also comes with two recovery tags from ReturnMe, the world's largest lost and found company.

One pilot gave it a glowing review. "Got this to hold my important things I need to fly — certificate, medical [card] and passport," the travel pro wrote. "They also offer you a lost and found reward so if you lose it, it can be easily returned to you and the company provides you a reward."

If you've ever tried to settle in for an in-flight snooze, you know it's a challenge. Flight crew members, who are experts at catch-as-catch-can cat naps (say that 10 times fast!), treasure a travel pillow that makes falling and staying asleep a bit easier. This one also doesn't have that bulky structure and folds up pretty tightly for easy stowing.

"After being a flight attendant for 42 years, I know how difficult it is to sleep on a plane," one former travel pro wrote. "I got tired of lugging the bulky 'donut style' around the world. My Trtl is a game-changer, not only for its portability — I love the carrying case with the hook — but if I can't get a window seat, I can now lean in great comfort!"

There's nothing worse than getting off a plane only to learn that your luggage is lost. I always pop one of these in my checked bag when I travel so I'm able to track its location no matter where it is. Right now, this travel favorite is at the lowest price it's been since November.

"Our luggage did not make it to our ship," one reviewer wrote, sharing that he and his family used AirTags during a cruise vacation. "No one seemed to be able to tell us where our luggage was, but we knew. We were so thankful for these AirTags."

This Tile tracker is a shopper favorite with over 17,000 five-star reviews. It performs similarly to the Apple AirTag and at $15, this is a pretty fair deal given that you'll get to use this little guy over and over again for years.
