If you’re going to be traveling this holiday season, a new carry-on is a necessity. To help you find the perfect one, look no farther than the high-end luggage company Away. It’s a popular choice for suitcases and bags of all sizes and colors that make traveling super easy.
What is the Away Carry-On?
The Away brand is made for modern travel, with curated collections of everything you need, such as suitcases, bags, organizers and extras. All Away bags are TSA-compliant and have a hidden laundry bag to keep dirty clothing separate, which is key while traveling.
I personally recommend the Away Carry-on. My favorite feature is that the carry-on comes with an ejectable battery that charges your phone and other portable devices. This is a game changer when you need to give your phone some juice to play your favorite podcasts during your travels.
The Away Carry-on is a great piece of luggage if you want the look and lighter weight of a hard-sided bag. It weighs 8.1 pounds, is able to hold nearly 40 liters, and has some high-end features, such as sturdy YKK zippers and easy-to-roll wheels.
The luggage bag has a strong, yet flexible, polycarbonate shell that will endure tough traveling with only a few scratches. Also, the Away Carry-on comes in 10 great colors that match every personality—I have the blush color (shown below) and love it!
Even better, all Away bags come with a 100-day trial and are backed by a lifetime limited warranty, which covers you for cracks in the shell and any broken hardware. Plus, they promise free shipping and free returns with every purchase.
How much does the Away Carry-On cost?
It’s not an inexpensive bag. The Away Carry-on will cost you $315 to $335 on the Away website depending on the color and if you choose to customize it. Although many say the price tag is worth it. Just read the reviews!
If you would like to see the carry-on before putting down that much money and ordering, Away has select store locations in Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, L.A., London, NYC, San Francisco and Toronto. You can’t take it home from the store, but you can try out the wheels and get a closer look.
What do reviewers say about the Away Carry-On?
“I’ve used my suitcase four times since I got it one month ago and I can’t recommend it enough! Wheels are super smooth, portable charger always comes in handy, I can fit all my clothes and it’s the perfect carry on size! If you travel often (or even once or twice a year) invest in this suitcase, it’s really worth it!”

“I was in Rome and Florence, Italy for nine days and The Away Carry-On was just perfect. From being able to charge up my iPhone at the airport or on the train traveling from Rome to Florence, it worked perfectly. Stylish and very versatile. It also kept my belongings packed beautifully plus the perk of a laundry bag for my dirty clothes.”

“My family have four different sizes, including the carry on plus backpack and love traveling with them to quick weekend getaway or a week long vacation. The Away is bags to go!!”

“I purchased the carry-on for my dad, who has been dying to get one after he saw and used mine. It was the best gift I could have gave him! Very happy with the carry-on style, durability and design.”
