Away earns strong reviews for durable, lightweight hardshell suitcases that glide smoothly, compress and organize efficiently, and often get replaced or repaired under a widely praised lifetime warranty; many users report years of heavy travel with The Bigger Carry-On and Medium still going strong. Reviews also flag drawbacks: shells scuff and scratch easily (especially light colors), wobbly or sticky handles and occasional zipper failures, crowded look-alike styling, and the built‑in battery being cumbersome under airline rules.

I needed a backpack for traveling and decided to splurge a bit and try this one out. It’s really comfortable to wear and the pockets are great for all your needs. Love the passport pocket as well as the strap in the back to place on the suitcase handle. Can’t wait to use!

Okay, I caved in and got my daughter the Buzz Lightyear suitcase…. And it is amazing. We used for our trip recently and the built in packing sections with the middle board and straps - what an awesome 🤩 addition. It’s her first big real suitcase and I can tell she’ll use it for a long time. Solid, good quality, stands out, and the packing support inside makes it worth the money. Only needed this Carryon for a 6.5 year old on a week long trip.

I like my Away suitcase, it's been solid for probably close to 10 years now and it seemed innovative when it was launched. That said I think the Quince dupe is equally solid for a much better price. My away is older but also much more scuffed than my quince which must get beat up more as a larger checked bag (I almost always carry on my away bag).

Super happy with these suitcases - I got one Medium for me and one Medium for my husband. We have an upcoming trip to Europe and my research showed that this is going to fit the perfect amount of items without being overweight and causing extra baggage fees. Love the clean, sleek look as well!
