Even as you save on luggage, Kindles, peanuts, and more in this Woot travel sale, remember our one key travel tip: don't you dare recline your airplane seat if you're sitting in front of me. Check out this offer and more in our roundup of the five best deals we found over the last 24 hours.

Fall Travel Deals at Woot
Up to 60% offWoot (an Amazon company, lest we forget) calls these Fall Travel Deals, and we've followed suit, but your friend and mine, me, has a scoop: lots of these luggage and electronics deals will last long into winter, spring, summer, and beyond. The food deals are a little less certain — some are safe through 2026, others are best before, like, this week. But what could remind you of long airplane rides more than bags of slightly stale nuts and snacks? Oh no, I'm becoming Jerry Seinfeld.
Top Watch Deal
Luminox Men's Patagonia Quartz Watch
$110 via code "PRE15"We had a whole section on the German language in yesterday's roundup, so Ashford getting in on the action by introducing their coupon code "PRE15" is much appreciated. Because what does "PRE15" do but lower the price? And what's price in German? "Preis". It's subtle, but undeniably timely. Also timely is this Luminox watch. Not just because it's literally the time, but also because it's Halloween season, and this watch is pitch black, its hands lighting up to a bright toxic waste green, which is the spookiest kind of waste.

Nordstrom Rack Clearance Deals
Up to 93% offIt probably hasn't, but it does feel like it's been a while since we celebrated a big, 10,000-plus-item Nordstrom Rack clearance sale. And by "celebrated", I do of course mean playing the Guess The Fake Brand game. I line up four brands, three of which are real brands in this very sale that you've probably never heard of, and one impostor brand that I've just invented. If you guess it correctly, I will give you a heads up that the second season of Norah Jones' incredibly pleasant podcast just started. If you guess incorrectly, I'll insist that you forget you read that. SO GUESS PLEASE.

12-Piece Metric Ratchet Wrenches Set
$28Picture the scene: it's 2076, and America has finally moved on from units like feet, pounds, ounces, cups, Leroys, furlongs, fathoms, cubits, long tons, leagues, hogsheads, Batmans, scrupulums, survey townships, hobbits, chungahs, house cords, kips, crickets, gills, bushels, Gregory Pecks, hundredweights, puddees, quarts, gallons, tulips, gauges, epithets, board-feet, scoops, versions, oompahs, salt spoons, uncles, wisdoms, and nominal pipe sizes, and been dragged kicking and screaming into using the far more confusing system of meters, liters, and grams in what's known as the Metric Wrench. This deal saw it coming.

10x14-Foot Hardtop Pergola
$309This huge discount only serves to remind me of how I feel like I only started hearing the word "Pergola" in the last year or so. But a quick investigation proves that in 2020, which is astonishingly a half-decade ago, I used this joke in a patio furniture roundup: "Pergola" was originally how Italian soccer players got paid. This raises two possibilities: either that joke was so bad I suppressed all memories of the word, or it was so good that I just thought of "pergola" as a system of footballer payment until this year. Either way, I have brain problems.
