Away The Carry-On
My carry-on pick: Away The Carry-On, rated 3 out of 3 (true best in slot).

1/2
A true best in slot. There is no real alternative to this, and I don't think anyone could make a better version in the relative near future.
Why it's here
By Emiliano · Revised Oct 2026Luggage I take and then stop thinking about. Away's Carry-On is as much praise as I'll give a suitcase. The shell fits an overhead bin without a negotiation at the gate. The wheels are quiet enough that I'm not announcing myself down a jetway. The handle locks at a height that fits me, and it doesn't collapse when the bag is full. The interior is plain. It doesn't need a system of straps to be usable. I've owned cleverer bags. They were heavier, louder, or precious about the first scratch. This is the size and the behavior I want on every trip that shouldn't be checked. The shell, the wheels, and the lack of fuss are already the answer.
