Black Friday is just a couple hours away, but popular luggage retailer Away's Cyber Week sale has been going strong for the past week. With 25% off sitewide, this is the best Away Black Friday sale we've ever seen. Last year, Away offered a discount of 20% only on suitcases — this year, you'll save on everything from passport holders to rolling luggage.
Below, we've highlighted some of the best Away Black Friday deals on our favorite products. If I had to pick just one bag to pick up during the sale, it would be the Away Bigger Carry-On Flex, currently down to $258 during the sale. It's the roomiest carry-on I've tested, and I ranked it the best for more space in our guide to the best carry-ons. The expanding panel ensures you have room for souvenirs you pick up on your travels, or just lets you pack more from the jump. You can read all my thoughts on this bag in my Away Flex review.
Away's sale is just one of the early Black Friday deals we're seeing. Many retailers are starting their Cyber Week sales earlier than ever this year, and we're rounding up the best in our Black Friday deals hub.

The best Black Friday Away suitcase deals
The Bigger Carry-On Flex is Away's largest and most versatile carry-on bag. Its zipper-activated expansion panel reveals an additional 2.25" of space — great for packing more or bringing back souvenirs from your travels.
- Zipper expansion adds significant packing space
- Internal compression for maximizing space
- Standard Away features like built-in locks, four wheels, and telescoping handle
- May need to be checked when fully expanded
- Too large to carry-on some smaller planes, even when not expanded
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.
For those who want a little more packing space and take more cross-country flights than tiny jumper planes, the Bigger Carry-On is an excellent option. It still fits in the overhead of most major airlines and is ideal for longer trips where those extra outfits are a necessity.
Away's new luggage line is the brand's first foray into soft-sided luggage. In our tests, soft-side bags surprisingly tend to be more durable than hard-sided bags and offer a bit more flexibility in packing space.
Whether you’re bringing back souvenirs or just hoping to squeeze in a few more outfits, you can pack more into every trip with The Large Flex. Plus, it has all of the same features you know and love including interior organization, 360° spinner wheels, and more thoughtful details.
For a more manageably-sized checked bag that still has wiggle room for extras, we like the Away Medium Flex. Our former travel editor tested this bag and it came in just under the airline weight limit, making it a good choice if you tend to pack heavier items for your travels.
Away's Trunk is inspired by classic suitcase designs, with a deep packing compartment and a smaller top section. It features 107 liters of packing space, and like all of Away's suitcases, it comes in a variety of colors.
Aluminum luggage is extra durable and, let's be honest, looks extra cool. This aluminum suitcase is more expensive than traditional polycarbonate suitcases but will last you a lifetime.
The best Black Friday Away bag and accessory deals
As the name implies, this bag is meant to go everywhere: whether as a weekender duffle or as a personal item on a plane.
- Lightweight and water-resistant
- Trolley sleeve that fits over handle of rolling luggage
- Dedicated laptop pocket
- Not as roomy as other duffels
These chic packing cubes come in various sizes to help you store items efficiently in your suitcase and make the most out of your available packing space.
This sleek backpack weighs only one pound, but is thoughtfully designed for travel with a 16" laptop sleeve, compartments for water bottles, and easy-access zip pockets.
A solid crossbody bag is a travel essential, and Away's has thoughtful features like a passport-sized interior pocket and a hidden pocket on the strap.
Equally at home on a plane or in the office, Away's Everywhere Tote brings a similar design as the ever-popular Everywhere Bag, but in chic tote form.
This leather luggage tag makes a great stocking stuffer for the traveler in your life, especially when personalized. You can add up to three letters in two fonts and four colors.
Black Friday Away luggage FAQs
Does Away do Black Friday deals?
This year's Away Cyber Week sale is the best we've seen from the retailer. The 25% off sitewide beats out last year's 20% discount only on bags. The year before that, Away only discounted luggage sets for Cyber Week.
Does Away make the best luggage?
We've tested dozens of suitcase brands for our guide to the best luggage, and Away remains a strong editor pick. We particularly like the brand's Bigger Carry-On Flex and Aliminum Carry-On; we named both top picks in our guide to the best carry-on bags. Check out our Away luggage review for more on why love these bags.
What are the most popular Away luggage styles?
Away's most popular luggage style is its popular Carry-On, known for its durability and thoughtful features like in-bag compression and laundry bag. The brand's Packing Cubes are also quite popular, with one Business Insider reporter claiming that they've completely changed her packing routine for the better.
Do Away bags still have a battery?
Away's Carry-On and Bigger Carry-On bags used to have the option to add an ejectable battery for charging items on the go. However, in late 2023, the brand redesigned the bags and no longer includes the feature. If you're interested in a portable battery for travel, check out our guide to the best portable chargers and power banks.
