11 Awesome Travel Deals for Your Next Trip

New year, new travel plans. As you look ahead to the potential of 2024, do you see any travel in your future? A flight, a road trip, or even a day trip? Then don't miss these deals. We've rounded up discounts on everything from great luggage and hip packs to noise-canceling headphones and tablets to keep you (and your companions!) entertained. Plus, handy accessories like power banks—because nothing is sadder than running out of power halfway through a movie. Happy travels!

Special offer for Gear readers: Get WIRED for just $5 ($25 off) . This includes unlimited access to WIRED.com , full Gear coverage, and subscriber-only newsletters. Subscriptions help fund the work we do every day.

If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. This helps support our journalism. Learn more .

If you're hunting for a hard-sided suitcase, this Samsonite is on sale. We like that the interior fabric is made from 100 percent recycled plastic bottles and that there's a storage pocket designed to keep damp items separate from the rest of your luggage.

This adventure bag has a water-resistant fabric coating and backpack straps. We recommend the 40L version in our travel bags guide , which is an inch too large for domestic carry-on. This 70L version is even larger and definitely can't be carried on a plane, but it's a great massive bag for a road trip or if you don't mind checking your duffel.

This sling is one of our favorite recycled bags , made from recycled polyester and plastic bottles. It has two compartments, a key clip, and a magnetic quick-release button on the strap. It can fit a bulky wallet, phone, chapstick, and keys. WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano found she could even fit a pair of over-ear headphones if she used a slimmer wallet.

If you're headed somewhere with busy streets and tourist traps, we recommend Pacsafe's sling. It's a favorite of ours for all the anti-theft features it has, like lockable zippers, slash-proof straps, and an interior RFID-blocking pocket. Plus, it's big enough to fit both a Kindle Paperwhite and an iPad mini .

The Android-powered OnePlus Pad ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ) can double as a laptop in a pinch and has an excellent display for entertainment. It's our favorite Android tablet, and runs Android 13, which has several tablet-friendly optimizations that make using it easier than past Android tablets you may have tried. There's a stylus and keyboard you can buy separately that are handy additions.

This tablet is our favorite for under $200–but you can score it for under $100 right now. Amazon's Fire tablets are (unsurprisingly) focused on Amazon's services and apps, but they're great for playing games and watching movies. There's no Google Play store, so it doesn't have everything an Android tablet would, but it's a solid price if you mainly want to stream something.

Epos and Sennheiser collaborated to create the Adapt 660 ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ). They've got great sound, a comfy lightweight design, and excellent noise-canceling. They're great on calls and Zoom meetings thanks to Epos AI if you're planning to take calls on your trip and have a 30-hour battery life.

Hate waiting for a charge while you're on the go? UGreen's power bank is one of our favorite portable chargers for how fast it can charge since it draws 145 watts (per the name!). It pulls 100W from one port and 45W from the other, and both are USB-C. It's surprisingly compact for its power level, but it has some weight to it at 1.1 pounds.

Anker's power bank isn't cheap, but it's one of the best. It can send or receive up to 140 watts to charge phones, tablets, and even laptops. That speed lets it charge from zero to full within an hour. It has a little digital display that shows the remaining battery percentage and stats like the temperature and total output. You can charge it with three devices at once.

Chipolo makes our favorite Bluetooth trackers for Android, and the Chipolo One four- and six-packs are on sale right now. The Chipolo One Spot also has a four-pack on sale for a few bucks more, and works with Apple's Find My if you're an Apple user. These cute little round trackers are great for keys and bags, but if you're worried about your wallet, Chipolo's Card and Card Spot (once again, slightly more expensive and works with Apple) fits into a card slot in your wallet and is also on sale in two- and four-packs.

If you're bringing your laptop along for your travels, grab one of Incase's sleeves to protect it from the bumps of the road or the airport security line. Select sleeves for the 13-inch MacBook are the ones on sale right now, though some sleeves are only on sale with specific colors.

Do your sanity a favor and stock up on these top-rated Tile Pro trackers that are perfect for keeping a pulse on your luggage, keys & other important items. (Plus, according to my mom, they're great for finding your phone thanks to the button on the Tile that makes your phone ring even on silent.)

Iniu Portable Charger

Your phone is one of the most important items you'll be taking with you on your trip, and the last thing you want is for it to run out of juice during a crucial moment (say, like when you're trying to navigate the directions to your hotel). This portable charger has a whopping 73,000+ five-star reviews on Amazon, and shoppers rave about its quality/value, performance, compact size, and sleek appearance.

They help lift away dirt, makeup, oil, and sunscreen off your face, and they're made with a micellar-infused triple emollient formula that's both gentle & effective.

This water flosser helps you take oral hygiene with you wherever you go, and it's a super popular pick among shoppers; according to Amazon, it's been purchased 20K+ times in the past month alone, and right now, you can score it on sale!

EltaMD UV Restore Face Sunscreen

When you're on the road or in the air, you can still be exposed to harmful UV rays, and it's equally (if not more) important to make sure that you're putting on sunscreen. This cult-fave pick from EltaMD contains skin-nourishing ingredients like squalane for restoring moisture and ginger root extract for improving complexion, and it's one of my personal faves that I swear by as well. As someone who's bought this sunscreen from Amazon multiple times before, let me say that this deal is one you don't want to miss.

ARZOPA 16.1-inch Portable Monitor

If you have to work during your travels, it may be hard to stay productive without your full setup.

Look flawlessly put-together no matter where you go (or how long your red-eye flight was) with this internet-viral hair wax stick . Use it to smoothen hair frizz, style your edges, and achieve the "clean-girl" look in just a few easy steps. Did we mention that it's formulated with 18 kinds of plant nutrients that nourish your hair while styling it?

It has over 93,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, is available in a variety of colors, and is built to last (seriously, I've had my blue one for three years and it's still going strong). Plus, the full-zip design makes it super easy to take off in those hectic TSA lines.

Reolink Security Camera Wireless Outdoor

Telegraph takeover: UK plans law to stop foreign ownership of newspapers

New legislation could thwart planned £600m purchase of media group by UAE-backed consortium

The UK government plans to introduce legislation that would prevent foreign governments owning UK newspapers and news magazines in a significant move that could scupper the planned £600m sale of the Telegraph to a United Arab Emirates-backed consortium .

RedBird IMI – a partnership between a fund backed by the UAE’s vice-president, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and a privately owned US investment firm – is seeking to acquire one of the UK’s most influential newspaper groups.

However, the planned takeover has been fiercely opposed by many Tory MPs and peers who have raised concerns about the Gulf state’s record on press freedom.

On Wednesday, the media minister, Lord Stephen Parkinson, announced in the House of Lords that the government would put forward an amendment preventing foreign state ownership of newspapers or news magazines. The planned acquisition of the Telegraph by Redbird IMI is widely expected to be blocked if the proposed legislation goes ahead.

Parkinson told the Lords the amendment would rule out “newspaper and periodical news magazine mergers involving ownership, influence or control by foreign states”.

“There is scope to provide greater clarity and bring forward a comprehensive and clear plan to make that explicit in legislation,” he said.

The government measure surprised peers by going further than a previous amendment proposed by Baroness Tina Stowell, the Tory chair of the Lords communications and digital committee, who has been leading the campaign in the Lords to stop the Conservative-supporting media group from being taken over by Redbird IMI. She responded by withdrawing her proposal.

While Stowell had proposed giving MPs a vote on whether to bar the purchase of UK newspapers by foreign state interests, the government’s legislation would impose a simple ban. Pressure had been building on Rishi Sunak to step in, partly because of Stowell’s amendment, which had won the backing of 100 MPs.

“Allowing foreign governments to own such a critical and sensitive part of our nation would damage public confidence in all of us yet further if it was allowed to happen,” Stowell told the Lords, saying that the Telegraph bid had “exposed a gap in the law”.

She added: “My concern is not just about the potential acquisition; what this situation has exposed is that in law there is nothing that clearly prohibits the acquisition of a UK news organisation by a foreign power or organisations under significant government control.”

The government will publish full details of its legislation on Tuesday (19 March) but it is expected it could come in the form of an amendment to the 2002 Enterprise Act. Parkinson told the Lords that the law would also allow certain investment by foreign powers below a low threshold.

The government has said that the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) would be obliged to investigate whether a merger has, or would result in, foreign ownership, influence or control. The culture secretary could then issue an order blocking or unwinding the merger.

A spokesperson for RedBird IMI said: “We are extremely disappointed by today’s development. To date, Redbird IMI has made six investments across the UK and US, and we believed the UK’s media environment was worthy of further investment.

“As with each of our deals, we have been clear that the acquisition of the Telegraph and the Spectator has been a fully commercial undertaking. We remain committed to developing powerful and commercially sustainable global media assets. We will now evaluate our next steps, with commercial interests continuing to be the sole priority.”

The sale of the Telegraph has been on hold since last year, when the Barclay family officially regained control of the newspaper group , which also includes the Spectator magazine, after RedBird IMI helped pay off its £1.2bn debt to Lloyds Banking Group.

A group of Conservative MPs then urged the government to use the UK’s national security laws to investigate the proposed deal. Last November, the culture secretary, Lucy Frazer, asked the CMA and the media regulator, Ofcom, to look into whether the takeover breached public interest concerns about press freedom and media plurality.

IMI has sought to reassure ministers and MPs during the bid process that it remained an “entirely passive investor” with no management or operational rights in relation to the Telegraph, and has said there would be an independent editorial trust board to protect editorial independence.

However, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport noted in a letter to RedBird in January that IMI “is privately owned by a member of the UAE government” and said the government “remains concerned about the potential influence” of the fund, which owns 75% of the joint venture, over the Telegraph “which could affect the free expression of opinion and accurate presentation of news” in the newspapers.

The latest moves in parliament do not affect the quasi-judicial decision that Frazer must make in the coming days as she considers the reports from Ofcom and the CMA on the implications of the RedBird IMI deal, which her department received on Monday.

She must decide whether to open a phase 2 investigation, where the CMA is given 24 weeks to assess whether the deal operates against the public interest and whether any remedies can be instigated to let the merger proceed.

Lloyds had originally put the Telegraph group up for sale, but it did not make it to a fully fledged auction process after the RedBird IMI intervention. Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that Rupert Murdoch’s News UK and DMGT, which owns the Daily Mail, had shown interest in the Telegraph and Spectator assets and were closely monitoring the situation.
