If you’ve been on an airplane anytime since 2016, you’ve almost certainly seen an Away suitcase wheeled around and stowed neatly in the overhead compartment — and after years of testing and use, they remain our pick for both best carry-on and best rolling luggage. Away’s hardside suitcases are lightweight-yet-sturdy, with wheels that glide across flat surfaces (and can withstand cobblestones, too). The interior is as sleek as the outside, with a straightforward compression system that lets you stuff all the things you need in and zip it shut.
And just in time for holiday travel, we’re partnering with our friends at Thrillist to give one lucky reader their own set of Away luggage — containing the classic carry-on and a large checked bag — in olive. It’s one of their newest colorways, launched earlier this year, and we think it’s easier to spot on the baggage carousel than black, without being too loud.
Whether your plans include going home to see your family, running away somewhere warm, or just taking a quick road trip out of the city, you’ll be able to pack everything you need and still have some extra room for presents. (The carry-on can hold up to five days worth of clothing, while the large checked bag is good for trips over two weeks.)
