The 5 Weekend Sales Travelers Don't Want to Miss—Birkenstock and More Up to 70% Off
Now's your chance to stock up on breezy linen clothes, durable carry-ons, and comfortable walking sandals while they're at their lowest prices yet. Score rarely-discounted Birkenstock Arizona Sandals up to 45 percent off, or invest in a brand-new Samsonite luggage set while saving $220. Shop my 40 top finds from each of these sales down below.
I've tried multiple lookalike styles over the years, but nothing quite stacks up to my beloved Birkenstock Arizona sandals. Like many Birkenstock fans, I've been wearing the brand's comfy, cork footbed sandals since childhood. Considering Birkenstock's line of strappy sandals and slides are built to get better with every use, they can cost a pretty penny—but right now, the brand has tons of popular styles on sale for under $100 in their Last Chance storefront.
I've already added these 45 percent-off Arizona Vegan Big Buckle Sandals to my cart, but these adorable Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle Sandals, $67 off, are also calling my name. Psst: Birkenstock members unlock an additional 10 percent off these Last Chance styles. $150 $83 at Birkenstock.com $160 $88 at Birkenstock.com AirPods-level quality: Soundcore by Anker P20i True Wireless Earbuds, $20 (originally $40)

Amazon Prime Day won't officially kick off until July 8, but the mega retailer is already teasing us with early discounts on summer travel essentials, with some deals reaching as high as 70 percent off. One of my favorite premature deals thus far includes these Vionic Women's Mar Sandals, 39 percent off. Previously $135, these podiatrist-approved walking sandals are 'comfortable out of the box' and are cute enough to wear with sundresses.
This Samsonite Freeform 2-piece Luggage Set also caught my eye—the smaller suitcase in this set has earned the T+L title of Best Overall Carry-on after multiple rounds of exhaustive testing, and considering that the carry-on alone costs $210, this set is a steal at just $299.
If you're starting your travel wardrobe from scratch, I recommend stocking up on classic, quality staples. J. Crew is the perfect store to shop for such a task, especially right now, when the retailer has cut prices on timeless, well-tailored pieces. The J.Crew Big Summer Event is full of packable, vacation-ready styles that are perfect for summer trips. Save up to 50 percent on 'almost everything' across the site, including breezy linen wide-leg pants, flowy sundresses, and airy beach coverups.
It's impossible to declare just one luggage brand as our favorite, but when it comes to combining durability, functionality, and style, Samsonite leads the pack. For over 100 years, Samsonite has prided itself on producing high-quality suitcases and travel bags that are built to last—and right now, the brand is hosting a Summer Savings Event, offering major discounts on pieces that our team of writers and editors has tried and tested for themselves.
This Pivot 3 3-piece Luggage Set, which we named Samsonite's Best Set, is 44 percent off, knocking down its final price to $280. And this sleek Samsonite Elevation Plus Duffel, which has a perfect five-star rating and is $48 off, earned our praise as the brand's Best Duffel, due to its durable nylon material and special features, including an Apple AirTag holder.
Even if your ideal vacation involves lounging at an all-inclusive resort, travel demands a lot of movement, which is why comfort should be your top priority when shopping for travel clothes. Athleta is a treasure trove of comfortable, cute styles you can move in, and some of the brand's summer-friendly gems are currently on sale up to 60 percent off.
These lightweight, breathable Trekkie Mid Rise Joggers, $49 off, provide leg coverage on hikes without weighing you down. And this Essential Tee Dress, $39 off, pairs well with sneakers, hiking sandals, and slides, working double-duty in your carry-on.

Instructors in Massachusetts using waves from Hurricane Erin to teach surfing and staying safe
With Hurricane Erin lurking in the ocean, her impact is beginning to be felt in Massachusetts even if the storm isn't expected to get close to the state. The hurricane is creating high surf and riptide warnings at local beaches. At Nantasket Beach in Hull, the water is open for play, but not without risk. There are multiple lifeguards on duty, and DCR rangers have been seen combing the beaches to make sure people are safe. "This is why we aren't having camp tomorrow with the winds, possibly the surf picking up," said Grace Grosso, a surfing instructor teaching young children at Nantasket, "Rip current risks are higher tomorrow"." She says most people panic when they are swept up in a rip current, but her advice is to remain calm and don't fight it. "We teach the kids to let the rip take you out, and once it spits you out deeper into the ocean, swim parallel with the beach," explained Grosso. "You don't want to fight a rip current, you don't want to try and swim against it. You don't want someone to come out and try and save you." The area can be a destination spot for vacationgoers like Mark Grimley. He and his wife came here this week for their anniversary, but it hasn't gone exactly as planned. "When we did come down, we expected the winds, but it's going to get worse tomorrow. I even mentioned to her maybe tomorrow it's supposed to be a little bit sunnier, I'll probably go up to my kneecaps if that," said Grimley, adding that at least the beaches aren't crowded, "It's about 3 miles long, and there's maybe only about half a dozen people from here to the end." In nearby Scituate, the town is asking people to stay out of the water altogether. They only have one beach, Peggotty Beach, that has lifeguards on duty. Parents like Katie Byrne are heeding all of the warnings. She has her young son staying out of the waters at Nantasket. "I think [the waves] are bigger than normal. I come down a couple of times a Summer," said Byrne, "We're just playing up by the sand today."

Booking Holdings agrees to $9.5M settlement of Texas junk-fee lawsuit
Booking Holdings has reached a $9.5 million settlement with the state of Texas over a lawsuit alleging the company engaged in deceptive "junk fee" practices, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced. The lawsuit alleged that Booking Holdings -- operator of Priceline and Kayak -- drew in customers with "artificially low room rates that were not actually available" by grouping hotel fees in with taxes and fees that were not displayed until checkout, giving it an advantage over companies that included those fees in initial room price. Per the settlement, Booking has agreed to display any such fees upfront, according to Paxton. In a statement, a Booking Holdings spokesperson said the settlement did not include an admission of wrongdoing and was reached to avoid prolonged litigation. "Booking Holdings has long supported a clear national standard for displaying total prices, and we remain committed to transparency and providing travelers with accurate information," said the statement. "While resort fees are typically set and retained by hotel partners, we are aligned with recent Federal Trade Commission efforts to bring greater consistency to price displays." Former Federal Trade Commission director Tony DiResta, who now chairs the consumer-protection defense and compliance team for law firm Holland & Knight, said he expects to see an increase in such settlements in the coming years. "The issue of hidden fees or misleading pricing is absolutely on the front burner for state AGs," he said in a statement provided to BTN. "This is a popular issue in both blue and red states, and it continues to be a focus at the FTC." Paxton said the settlement is the largest amount received by a state from a hotel or online travel agency related to junk fee practices. He said he previously had reached agreements on fee transparency with Marriott, Omni, Choice Hotels and Hilton. Source: Business Travel News
