The Best Lightweight Luggage For Travel in 2024

5. Away The Carry-On: Lightweight Luggage with the Best Warranty

Away is an extremely popular up-and-coming luggage brand. The Carry-On is Away’s best-selling model, following minimalist and clean design cues with smart features and thoughtful organization

 

Made with 100% polycarbonate, it’s no wonder that The Carry-On is extremely strong, flexible, yet lightweight––qualities that have become the gold standard for all hard-side luggage to achieve.

Away really shines when it comes to their warranty. Their lifetime warranty covers any damage sustained to the shell, spinner wheels, handles, zippers, tie down straps, and many other functional elements of the luggage.

 

I actually had a cross-country move to NYC last summer, and when I shipped one of my Away bags in the mail, the shell ended up cracking (thanks FedEx). I emailed Away and they replaced my bag with a brand new one in just a few days!

 

The luggage features a fully lined interior with a robust design that keeps your things organized without overcomplicating matters or clogging up valuable space. The main compartment contains a deep pocket covered by a full-zip divider, which makes it good for bulkier items; the other side contains a detachable, buckle-down compression system that wrings out every last space in the 39.8 L bag.

It also comes with a larger zip pocket that’s fitted with extra padding, making it the perfect space for your delicate electronics. The bag is even equipped with a TSA-approved combination lock (I use this every time I travel to ensure my belongings are safe)!

 

This carry-on bag also comes with YKK zippers and four double Hinomoto spinner wheels, giving a luxurious finish to the luggage. This allows it to glide effortlessly on smooth pavements, rocky roads, hardwood, and grass!

 

It is also available in a battery model, which includes a removable, rechargeable lithium-ion TSA-approved battery to charge your devices on the go. You will no longer be tied down to charging ports and sitting on the floor, as you can always have easy access to power.
