Which Carry On is the Best?
Love our Away bags. Both are hard shell. I have the Bigger Carry On and my wife checks a Medium. Had them for 6 years and tons of trips. Used their warranty once when my wife broke the frame of the internal compression pad. Two days later the parts to fix it arrived and it was super easy to repair. I’ve never not been able to carry on, including international, but YMMV. Either way I would totally buy our bags again if needed.

Best Carry On Luggage for 2026?
Briggs and Riley is your one true BIFL. I don’t carry mine anymore because it’s an old school two wheeler. I do love my Away bigger carryon. Had a tear recently on my Away. I just submitted a warranty request and they send me a new bag quickly

Best Carry On Luggage for 2026?
[I use Away luggage.](https://hiarthur.com/?share=f9c049fd-a158-45cf-9753-5c81e5b6fc92) I've had the softside Bigger Carry-On for about 8 years now. The only issue is with the expandable handle. It's a bit sticky, you gotta jiggle it a bit. Not a big deal but a minor annoyance. Otherwise everything's great. Never had any problems with zippers, fabric, or the wheels. I got the Bigger version because I overpack. I'd say after about a dozen countries, there's no situation where the regular sized would have been fine but the Bigger size was too big for carry on. You might have to sweet talk the flight attendants a bit but if you travel internationally I wouldn't go for the smaller one.

thinking of splurging on a luggage set, any recs that'll last for years?
We got two full sets of Away luggage as wedding gifts 6 years ago. I’m a consultant and travel extensively for work, domestic and international, and my Away luggage all looks brand new. I love the Bigger Carryon for domestic travel. I’m literally on a plane right now coming back from an extended work trip in Italy with the biggest Away checked bag. Zippers, locks, straps, wheels — everything on them all still function perfectly just like when we got them. I love them. My husband just got me the newer Bigger Carry On zipper expandable bag as he knows I am obsessed with my Away luggage. It’s perfect in winter when clothes, shoes, etc are all bigger and bulkier. Can’t say enough good things about them! I am a diehard Tumi fan when it comes to backpacks though.

I’ve had the Away bigger than a carry on for 8 years now and it’s amazing. Lifetime warranty so they repaired a busted internal zipper no questions asked. Great quality and nice size if you like to travel carry-on only.

Yeah we have three away bags. Two carry on flex and one of the checked luggage flex size bags. Just bought one for my MIL. You can use referral codes with a sale for extra savings. They’re incredible bags
