The size is perfect for carryon. The wheels glide so well thru the airport. I’m very pleased with the cloud gray color. I chose personalization monogram in purple and it’s quite unique. I purchased the packing cubes which make it...

I am in love with the bold red color, not a common color I see in the airport, one of the reasons I was drawn to it. I chose Away as it was on of the few companies the workers...

I love the suitcase. It's nice and light, and the color is great. I'm still waiting on the packing cubes so I'll know more when I start packing!

Designed to stand up to miles of travel

Mileage that won't give out

Every Away handle design is tested through 1,500 pulls at up to 60 lbs — so it holds up when you grab, lift, or drag it on your next trip.

Wheels that never quit

Before your suitcase logs its first miles with you, it’s already gone the distance. Every design is rolled 480 New York city blocks of simulated travel to test wear and glide.

Zippers built to keep up

The zipper is the last thing you want to think about mid-trip. That’s why we test them up to 8,000 times before they find their way to you.

Built to stick the landing

Baggage handlers aren't always gentle. Our luggage is loaded up to 60 lbs and repeatedly dropped every which way at 10° F — putting the shell to the ultimate test.

The details that make a big difference

Between sizes?

Our customers often prefer the The Bigger Carry-On due to its common, larger size. If you’re deciding between the two, we recommend purchasing The Bigger Carry-On upfront.

I am in love with the bold red color, not a common color I see in the airport, one of the reasons I was drawn to it. I chose Away as it was on of the few companies the workers on air Canada and I will be flying with them...

Great bag!

Tough bag! Easy to roll! Packs lots of things! Just bought a second one!

Best carry on

Violet July 01, 2026

Love this carry on. I had a cheaper suitcase and had problems since it wasn’t made as well as the Away carry on. Plus I had already bought the weekend bag last year and absolutely loved using it. So decided to jump aboard and invest in the carry on.
