Day 2 of Prime Big Deal Days is here, and the clock is ticking! Most of these deals will likely be gone by midnight tonight. If you’ve yet to browse what’s available, we’ve covered everything from robot vacuums to gaming laptops. But that’s not all Amazon has up its sleeve — surprisingly, the retail giant’s Prime Big Deal Days includes some pretty decent travel deals, too.
While you won’t find any flight deals via the Amazon site (we’ll show you where to find those a bit later), Prime members can score discounts of up to 40% off on select Carnival and Princess cruise packages, up to 35% off car rentals, and 20% off Viator travel experiences.
Here are some of the top travel deals we spotted during Prime Big Deal Days:
Best travel deal overall
Why we like it
Amazon’s partnered with Princess Cruises to offer up to 40% off select cruises and a free room upgrade with just a $99 deposit. Cruise destinations include Alaska, the Caribbean, Europe, and more. This deal’s only available for another 40 hours (so, longer than Prime Day itself) — make sure to book fast.
Best flight deal
Why we like it
October Prime Day hasn’t included any flight deals (that we've seen), but Southwest is offering a non-Prime deal where you can get a one-way flight for a low as $69. Of course, restrictions apply, but for $69, it’s worth it to put up with a little fine print.
Here's the deal: you need to book by October 10 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, and plan your trip at least 21 days in advance. Travel within the continental U.S. is valid from October 29, 2024, to January 31, 2025, while flights to Hawaii, international destinations, and San Juan, Puerto Rico are valid from October 29, 2024 to March 5, 2025. Remember: there are some blackout dates for certain routes, so be sure to check those before you book. Also, this deal is nonrefundable, and seats and travel days are limited, so don't wait too long!
