A Conde Nast Traveler writer says Amazon tends to give its biggest discounts during this sale, which happens twice a year. In earlier years, the writer found shoes, hard-shell luggage and electronics at up to 50 percent off.
What it means for travelers
Travelers who need luggage, electronics or other gear may find lower prices during a short sale. Because the window is only two days, planning ahead can help you avoid rushed buying. Discounts from past years do not promise the same deals now.
What to watch next
Check prices and terms on Amazon's official site before you buy, and make a wish list of items you really need before the sale ends on October 7.
