You Voted for It: My 7 Favorite Black Friday Travel Upgrades (+1 Bonus Pick)

Hey, Johannes from GearUpYourLife here…

and today we’ve got one of two special Black Friday editions.
You guys voted, and with over 95% saying “yes”, I couldn’t just skip this one.

So here we go:
I picked 7 of my favorite travel deals that are actually worth it — plus one bonus item I personally bought, even though it has nothing to do with travel (but I bet some of you will love it too).

These next two newsletters, today and tomorrow — are all about real, tested travel upgrades that I genuinely think are smart to grab right now.
I hope at least one of these makes you go, “Okay yeah, that one’s actually worth it.”

Let’s go 👇

🧳 My 7 Favorite Black Friday Travel Deals (+1 Bonus Home Pick)

🎧 Sennheiser Momentum 4 – now $200 ($250 off)
My New premium headphones for long flights, amazing ANC, 60-hour battery, and super comfortable. I’ve been using them for months, and honestly, seeing them for $200 feels wild. That’s a deal you don’t see often.

😴 MZOO Sleep Mask – under $10 (50 % off)
Still my number one travel essential for sleep. Full blackout, no pressure on your eyes, and now literally half price. I’d grab this instantly — I rarely see it this cheap.

💤 Trtl Neck Pillow – 40 % off (around $40)
I’ve used this thing on so many long flights and trains — no neck pain, no bulky pillow. 40 % off is crazy for Trtl, totally worth it.

🔋 Baseus Blade 140W Charging Station – 45 % off (now $50)
If you travel with a laptop or camera, this replaces all your chargers. I’ve been using it for weeks now, charges everything at once. For $50, honestly, this is a no-brainer.

🧳 Travelon Anti-Theft Metro Waist Pack – 70 % off (now $20)
That’s just insane. Anti-theft zippers, lightweight, perfect for cities or airports. Normally I’d call it a “nice-to-have,” but for $20? Total steal.

📍 Tile Tracker – just $15 (50 % off)
I’ve had this for ages and it’s already saved me twice. Works perfectly with both Apple and Android. For $15, peace of mind is worth every cent.

🥤 Stanley Quencher H2.0 Tumbler – 40 % off (now $27)
Never had this thing, because its a bit too expensive. but i thing everybody knows it’s good, it’s keeps drinks cold forever, looks clean, and feels indestructible. 40 % off doesn’t happen often, if you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time.

🍳 BONUS – Ninja DZ550 Air Fryer – 45 % off (now under $130)
Okay, confession — I’ve never owned an air fryer. My girlfriend has wanted one forever, and everyone keeps saying once you have it, you’ll never go back.
I’m rarely home, but I finally gave in. For under $130, that’s honestly a fair deal for something that just makes life easier.

So guys, I hope you weren’t disappointed — I tried to keep it short, real, and packed with deals that actually make sense.
