Travel Perks for the Outdoor Adventurer

Adventurers are always after the same thing. How can we stay on the road longer, travel farther, and stress less on the road? For GearJunkie staffer Salome Lefort, the answer is simple.
“Taking advantage of as many travel perks as possible is my favorite hack for elevating my travel experience,” she says. One of her favorite sources of adventure-friendly perks: T-Mobile.
“I am a huge fan of T-Mobile,” Lefort says, “and not just because of the coverage but all the perks you didn’t think would come with your cellphone provider.”
From reliable service in the backcountry to savings on hotels and rental cars, plus fun bonuses in the provider’s app, Lefort says the travel perks she gets with her T-Mobile plan make the journey even better. Check out all the ways the carrier supports her big adventures — and yours, too.
📶 High-Speed Hotspot on the Go
Stay connected no matter where you roam. With high-speed hotspot data included in eligible plans, you can download trail maps, check weather conditions, or upload photos of your adventures from the road. This perk is also great for remote workers or off-grid travelers who still need a lifeline to the online world.
“Knowing I have a reliable hotspot makes being on the road, whether a long or short trip, easier. No matter where I go, I always have some backup,” Lefort says.
🛠️ Free Roadside Assistance for a Year
Connectivity isn’t the only reason road trips are better with T-Mobile. Enjoy peace of mind anywhere you drive with a free year of AAA Classic membership, included in eligible T-Mobile plans. You’ll be covered with 24/7 roadside help — including tows, lockout service, battery jumps, and flat tire assistance — so you can explore with confidence, whether you’re down a backroad or on the open highway.
✈️ Stream, Surf, and Text at 30,000 Feet
The adventure isn’t on pause when you’re in the air. With free in-flight Wi-Fi and unlimited texting on major U.S. airlines, including Alaska, American, Delta, and United, you can stay connected, plan your arrival, or stream content mid-flight — no extra fees, no hassle.
“One of my favorite perks is the in-flight Wi-Fi. It is so easy to turn on and keeps me connected in the air to watch TV, text my friends, or check in with work. Plus, it helps long flights go a lot quicker.”
In addition to Wi-Fi and streaming, this perk also includes in-flight texting so you can keep in touch with your travel buddies in transit.
💰 Up to 40% Off Hotels and Rental Cars
Some adventures call for roughing it in the backcountry. But for the times you find yourself exploring on the grid, T-Mobile’s travel perks can help you save on stays that include a hot shower and a real bed. Take advantage of up to 40% savings on hotel rooms, rental cars, and more when you book through T-Mobile Travel.
Because there’s no such thing as too many perks, T-Mobile members are also eligible for fun bonuses on T-Mobile Tuesdays. Free snacks, discounts on gas, cashback from participating restaurants, and more are all up for grabs on the T-Mobile app.
“I love T-Mobile Tuesdays!” she says. “I am always bragging about it to my friends. I have so much fun looking in the app Tuesday mornings to see what surprise treats I’ll get for the week.”
🌐 Satellite Network for the Ultimate Coverage
Heading way off the grid? No problem. As the first and only U.S. wireless provider with a mobile and satellite-powered network, T-Mobile’s T-Satellite with Starlink keeps you connected in areas with no traditional cell signal.
“Even living in L.A., I find myself using this feature even more than I expected,” Lefort says. “It’s so nice not to worry about if or when I’ll lose service, especially if I’m out for a solo adventure or meeting up with friends in a place that you’d expect wouldn’t have service with other providers. Hikers, overlanders, and anyone who wanders where signal bars usually disappear will see a huge difference in available connectivity with T-Mobile.”
