How to Choose Between Luggage Sets and Individual Pieces
Choosing between a luggage set and an individual suitcase depends on how often you travel and the types of trips you take. While a single suitcase is ideal for travelers with predictable travel habits, a luggage set offers greater flexibility, better long-term value, and the ability to choose the right size for every trip. As you prepare for holiday travel and beyond, here's how to decide which option is right for you.
The Case for the Solo Bag
Buying an individual piece works well for highly specific routines. If you exclusively take quick weekend trips, a standalone piece like The Carry-On is a perfect solution. It handles your basic needs seamlessly and fits perfectly in the overhead bin. For travelers who occasionally need a little extra room, The Bigger Carry-On Flex offers a smart compromise. It gives you expandable space for souvenirs or extra layers while still functioning as a single reliable bag. If your travel habits are entirely predictable, investing in one core piece is a smart choice.
Building a Complete Travel System
Travel is rarely one-dimensional. Sometimes you are gone for two days, and sometimes you are gone for three weeks. This is where luggage sets become incredibly valuable. Buying a set gives you a flexible travel system. The Carry-On handles quick flights, while The Large covers extended stays. Having options ensures the exact right size for the trip is always ready to go.
A luggage set is the better choice if you travel frequently or take different types of trips throughout the year. Instead of relying on a single suitcase for every journey, a luggage set gives you the flexibility to pack the right size for everything from weekend getaways to extended vacations. It can also be a better value than purchasing individual suitcases over time, while ensuring every piece is built with the same durable materials, thoughtful organization, and smooth-rolling performance. With Away, you can build a coordinated luggage set that works together seamlessly, making it easier to pack smarter today while giving you the flexibility to travel confidently for years to come.
Matching Aesthetics + Matching Function
Matching luggage sets create a cohesive, clean look while you navigate crowded airport terminals. A uniform travel kit looks sharp and makes keeping track of your bags significantly easier at the baggage claim. You look seasoned, prepared, and totally put together.
One of the advantages of building a luggage set with Away is that every suitcase is designed to work together. Whether you're traveling with a Carry-On, a checked suitcase, or both, you'll enjoy the same smooth-gliding 360° wheels and telescoping trolley that adjusts to the same height across the collection. That means your luggage rolls comfortably side by side through busy airports, train stations, and city streets without feeling mismatched. Combined with consistent durability, thoughtful organization, and a timeless design, Away's luggage collection makes it easy to travel with a set that feels as seamless as your journey.
Smart Storage Solutions
People often worry about storing multiple bags. We intentionally designed our suitcases to solve this problem. Our hard shell suitcases nest inside one another perfectly. You can store The Carry-On inside The Medium, and put both inside The Large. You get a complete fleet of luggage while only taking up the closet space of a single suitcase. It is an ingenious, solution-driven approach to modularity.
