Away earns strong reviews for durable, lightweight polycarbonate and aluminum luggage that glides smoothly, packs efficiently with compression panels and a laundry bag, and is backed by responsive, often generous warranty service; however, reviews also flag easy exterior scuffing/dents, occasional zipper/handle/wheel issues, divisive or cumbersome battery compartments, and ubiquity that causes bag mix-ups. Overall, Away is good and works well for frequent travel, but buyers should expect cosmetic wear and consider darker colors or covers.

I've been a fan of these suitcases for years! They're perfect if you like the hardshell style that has a little bit of give. I have 3 sizes and love them all, especially that they come with a hidden pouch zipped inside that is always handy for dirty laundry.

Maybe I'm being dramatic, but my Away suitcase changed my life. I have the bigger carry-on and have used it domestically and internationally with no size issues from any airline. The wheels are butter-smooth and the style is chic! It's upped my travel game so significantly and I'm never looking back. An investment worth making imo.

I'm obsessed with this brand and tell everyone they should invest. We have two of the carryons and one medium suitcase. I am a plus size carry on only girlie and this zipper has never failed me. I once brought home nine bottles of wine in the big suitcase and it kept everything safe in checked luggage. The lifetime warranty?! Come on, so good!

I have 3 in different sizes, and I often travel long distance with all of them. The satisfaction of rolling 2 in one hand and 1 in the other is unmatched. So smooth. Extremely convenient, and the hard shell suitcases are very light, so you can really maximise the packing! One downside for me is that I made a mistake of buying a soft shell one too, but it was just too heavy. Don’t make the same mistake, just go for the hard shell

Love my bags. I have had them for 4-5 years and they have never had any issues and I travel at least 2x/month. the large one is tricky as it's just a little too large IMO - if you fill it up you will be paying extra as it will be overweight.

If you are looking for bags that will last you... go ahead and grab the bigger carry-on. I have never regretted this purchase. I later purchased the packing cubes, which have helped me to maximize the space in my carry-on. I have gifted my daughter one, and she loves it. I have the medium and the daily carry-on with pockets. The Daily is a great mobile office. Seriously, you won't regret it.

I recently purchased an Away carry-on suitcase for a weekend trip and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The suitcase is incredibly sleek and stylish, and the hard shell exterior seems incredibly durable and able to withstand the wear and tear of travel. I love the variety of colors available, so I was able to pick a shade that suited my personal style. One of the things I appreciate about Away luggage is the attention to detail. The interior of the suitcase is thoughtfully designed with a compression system to keep my clothes organized and wrinkle-free during travel. Plus, there's a built-in battery pack to keep my devices charged on-the-go. It's a small feature, but it makes a big difference when I'm traveling for work and need to stay connected. Another great feature of Away luggage is the four 360-degree spinner wheels, which make it incredibly easy to navigate through busy airports or train stations. The handle is also comfortable to hold and retractable, which makes it easy to store in overhead compartments. Overall, I would highly recommend Away luggage to anyone looking for a stylish and functional suitcase. It's definitely an investment, but I believe the quality and features are worth the price. I'm already planning my next trip and looking forward to packing up my Away suitcase once again.

I begged my parents to get these for me Christmas 2017. The following year I'd be doing my semester abroad and just really wanted nice luggage for the trip. They were kind enough to give-in and purchase a set of the prettiest pink ones for me. The medium suitcase and the carry-on. Both have built-in code locks, with a TSA-friendly keyhole. I can't explain why, but the built-in lock feels 10x's safer than any other alternative. They roll so well and the handles are easy to open / close. If you purchase a carry-on, you can get the added perk of a portable charger that sits under the adjustable handle. The cool thing is that you can pop this charger out of the case completely - it's come just about everywhere with me, luggage or not. I've had it for about 7 years now and both luggage items have held up so well - almost like new! Highly recommend for anyone in need of a good suitcase.

Great aesthetic, great build, difficult to customize now that 90% of the travelers you see carry them. I bought my Away in Coastal Blue thinking it'd be unique and easy to find but it was the exact opposite. I see at least 5 travelers a trip with that exact suitcase. Otherwise, Away suitcases are very high-quality and have strong, sturdy wheels. Mine has faced the streets of New York for over a year now and they still roll like its day one.

Indestructible suitcase, but poor quality weekender

I have a blue, large check in suitcase and a black everywhere bag. The suitcase has served me well and remains in tact after many drops and rolls. However, the bag ripped at the zipper seam after first use/trip (and was not too heavy or overstuffed). The suitcases are a great buy, but I wouldn’t spend the money on the bags.

I got a carry on luggage about 4 ish years ago and so happy I splurged. I travel a lot for work and hate checking a bag. The carry on is big enough to fit a few days worth of outfits, shoes and toiletries. I love that it also has a battery pack that can be removed and used to charge your phone. It’s very sturdy and is my go to bag for traveling.

This is the only suitcase I use. It's incredibly durable and the 360 degree wheels make it so easy to walk with. It definitely has more room than expected too.

Obsessed with Away and I will never use any other luggage brand. I have the carry on and it’s so light and the wheels are super smooth. I like that they have a 100 day return policy at any condition too, which means I can exchange it for another color after my trip if I want.

I've had my Away carryon for like, five years now - and it's still in nearly perfect condition. A few scratches here and there, but I'll definitely get another once mine finally bites the dust.

So far, so good. The battery still works (love that it's removable) and I'm still grateful for all of the little details (storage sleeve is great for socks and chargers, straps help shove a toooon in, etc).

I've had my Away Larger Carry-On for over 5 years and it's going strong! It's extremely durable and spacious, and I LOVE the laundry bag. I got the long-ago limited edition Rashida Jones color, but I love the standard color options. I lost the portable charger years ago (I can buy a replacement but I'm just lazy so I haven't done it yet) but that was a great touch as well. Overall I'm super happy I went with Away!

Love, love the Away. The size and durability is great. It is well designed - my stuff fits in it really well. I have checked the bag multiple times and it holds up to the elements.

Honestly, it is a top notch product with a great price point.

I have been obsessed with my Away Bigger Carry On and Everywhere bag since I got them two years ago for a trip to Europe. I check my bags any chance I get, so the extra space in the Bigger Carry On is perfect and any overflow goes in the Everywhere bag. The zippers are next level quality on both bags. Super durable and they don't snag or break like other suitcases. The inner pockets and compartments on the Bigger Carry On are amazing for organization and it comes with a laundry bag (with its own compartment) and a cleaning sponge for the outside of the hard shell after a long trip. I also love that the Everywhere bag has a slip on the back that can slide onto the Carry On handle to make them easier to carry together. Oh and the Bigger Carry On comes with a removable super powerful portable charger.

Absolutely 0 complaints. I'm considering buying other colors/sizes from Away!

LOVE IT! Looks great from the outside, but the best part is when you open it up. The insides have been planned perfectly for travelling, couldn't think of anything more to add.

I have a carry on and large suitcase, both of which have stood the test of time with countless trips. I love that they come with a buffer for the inevitable dings and scratches as well. Pretty easy to keep organized and compressed as well!

I have the bigger carry on, the large, and the jewlery box. All are very sleek and have so many great compartments! I will say I got the bigger carry on almost 5 years ago when Away used to include a battery pack, travel adaptor, and other cool items with the product which have since gone away, but even with the most recent large purchase, I still really enjoy the product. It holds up well when checked which is super important and is really easy to clean. The compartments are amazing, so much room for storage!
