By far one of the most popular Away bags, The Carry-On has thoughtful design features like in-bag compression, TSA-approved locks, and a fold-away laundry bag. Last year, the brand only offered discounts on luggage sets, so this is an uncommon deal for those looking to purchase a singular Away bag.

If you prefer a smaller size carry-on for shorter trips, but still want the added convenience of the additional front pocket space, the Monos Carry-On Pro is the right bag for you. During the brand's Cyber Week sale, you can get it for up to 20% off depending on the color you pick, which is a rare deal for this brand, with the code CYBERWEEK.

If you prefer soft-sided luggage, we love Travelpro's, which was designed by an airline pilot. This carry-on luggage set has a roller bag for the overhead bin, and a duffel that can be used as your personal item. With the 20% off discount, you'll be paying a little over $100 per piece.

This is a modest discount, but you won't find a better bag for cheaper. We named this AmazonBasics model the best budget option in our carry-on guide. For the casual weekend traveler, the AmazonBasics Hardside Spinner Carry-On is an attractive bag that does the job at an extremely affordable price.

This suitcase is the perfect piece of checked luggage and comes in 13 attractive colors, including a few glossy finishes.

This suitcase has a flex feature that expands to allow for an additional 1.75" of space; a great option for a medium-sized checked bag that you can take on many different length trips. Like all of Away's bags, it has thoughtful design features like TSA-approved combo locks and interior compression. We don't often see major discounts on this bag, so the 20% off sale is a rare opportunity to buy it at under $350.

The Large Flex is the biggest suitcase Away makes, with a capacity of 108 liters when fully expanded. It has all of the same features we love in Away bags, including interior organization, 360° spinner wheels, and more thoughtful details. If you're looking for a large, flexible suitcase, Away's Cyber Week deals bring the price down under $350 — a rare deal.

When it comes to value, Samsonite makes excellent luggage at some of the best prices, which it why we named it our top overall pick for the best carry-on. This set gets you both a checked and carry-on bag for a solid discount, although this bundle was $60 less on Cyber Monday.

Not all trips require a roller bag, so we're also outlining Cyber Monday discounts on picks from our guides to the best backpack and best travel backpack, along with deals of duffels and packing accessories from our favorite luggage brands.

The Calpak Kaya Leather Laptop Backpack is the more sleek and stylish cousin to a traditional laptop bag. The structured backpack has its own space for your laptop, with plenty of room to spare. This is the best price we've seen this year too.

The CALPAK Luka Duffel is an ultra-lightweight bag with numerous pockets for easy organization — and it won't break the bank. The 20% off Cyber Monday sale makes it one of the best duffels at an affordable price.

How to choose the best luggage

Soft-sided vs. hard-sided

In general, we recommend hard-sided luggage for most people, especially for checked bags. Hard-sided luggage will keep your items compact and in place and can withstand heavy handling. You may opt for a soft-sided bag if you're an over-packer since soft suitcases have some stretch to hold more items and are easier to compress to fit in an overhead compartment. To learn more about the differences between soft-side, hard-side, and aluminum carry-ons, check out our guide to the best carry-on luggage.

Size

For carry-on bags, you'll want to stick with a maximum bag size of 22" x 14" x 9", which will fit most domestic and international airline carrier limits. For checked luggage, keep in mind that bigger isn't always better. You may be tempted to buy the biggest checked bag you can find, but extra large bags easily end up over the airline's maximum weight once packed. A checked bag with max dimensions of 29" x 20.5" x 12.5" will accommodate most trips without being too hefty.

Wheels

We always recommend selecting a roller bag with four wheels instead of two. The extra wheels allow for easier maneuverability. 

Extra features

Many luggage brands aim to stand out by offering a fleet of special features. The features we find most useful are built-in combination locks and in-bag compression. Ejectable batteries are popular add-ons, but we find they're not often used and can be a bit of a pain to travel with: Most airlines do not allow these batteries to be checked into a plane's cargo hold.
