This carry-on earned a spot in our 2024 Travel Awards as the best overall hardshell suitcase for several reasons, like its ability to fit many things and how easy it is to navigate crowded airports. This model is slightly bigger than Away’s standard carry-on, also available on Amazon. It comes with a TSA-approved lock with straps and buckles inside, which helps compress your clothing and keep everything secure.
Larger than the carry-on bags, this checked suitcase has many of the same attributes, like an adjustable telescopic handle, smooth spinner wheels and inner buckles and belts that help compress items to help you fit as much as possible. It also comes with a water-repellant laundry bag and a dust bag to store in between trips. Consider Away’s Large Checked Luggage or their 31-inch Trunk Luggage if you need a larger bag.
This travel backpack also makes a great work bag. It is made from water-repellent nylon and has padded straps for comfort, plus a breathable mesh back to prevent you from getting too hot as you carry it around. The bag meets most airlines’ requirements for personal items and it has a padded interior sleeve for a laptop. It also has one zippered exterior pocket and multiple interior pockets to store various items easily.
Need a new weekend bag? This bag will get the job done. Like the Everywhere Backpack, it’s made from water-repellant nylon and has leather trim. The bag has top handles and comes with a detachable shoulder strap. Inside you’ll find a padded laptop sleeve and two large slit pockets, plus a main compartment that can hold enough clothes for the weekend.
Experts previously told us to factor in washability and different compartments when shopping for a toiletry bag, and this option from Away meets those requirements. It’s made from water-resistant nylon, making it easy to wipe down. It has a zippered pocket on the outside and inside and two separate compartments — one enclosed by mesh and another enclosed by transparent vinyl. The bag also has a top handle so you can grab it quickly.
