Reviews mention

  • Sleek minimalist aesthetic design
  • Lightweight hard-shell construction
  • Smooth-rolling 360° wheels
  • Thoughtful interior compression system
  • Easily scuffed exterior surfaces
  • Occasional wobbly telescoping handle
  • Inconsistent zipper or mesh durability
  • Heavier, dent-prone aluminum shell

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.

  • The bags are pretty good. I don’t think they are like anything crazy, I have had mine for probably 5/6 years now and they have held up pretty well. Lots of scratches on the outside. I have other suitcases that I reach for more often.

  • From weekend getaways to chaotic family trips, my Away bag has seen it all—and still rolls like a dream. The structure? Impeccable. The compartments? A packing game-changer. The vibe? Always giving “I’ve got my life together,” even when I don’t. It’s sleek, sturdy, and smart—exactly what I need when I’m juggling passports, snacks, and three different moods in one day. Wouldn’t travel without it.

  • My go to for traveling! Our family now has all varying sizes and we love that they stack into each other. It’s very durable and can easily company and fit everything we need for different types of trips.

  • Super durable and cute! Great amount of space and super mobile. Great for airport travel. Fit in overhead bin very well

  • I love my away luggage. We have two large luggage suitcases, two carryons, and I used their original backpack for years but unfortunately they don’t make it anymore.

  • Perfect Travel Companions – My Forever Travel Buddy Set! I have the Larger Carry-On and the Expandable Large from AWAY, and they are the perfect pair! The sizing is always just right—never too much, never too little. I love how my carry-on includes a built-in battery, which has been a lifesaver on so many trips. I had to replace my carry-on once, and AWAY’s warranty process was seamless. They let me keep my original battery and even gave me a new one with my replacement—huge plus! Beyond the luggage, I also use their over-the-luggage carry-on bag, pillow, and blanket, making this my ultimate travel set. Stylish, durable, and functional—AWAY has truly nailed it!

  • personally purchased; used for 8+ years What more is there left to say about AWAY bags that hasn't already been understood by the masses. They were the earliest to guerrila-advertise to the point that they provided a ~stylish~ non-centurian brand option to an area of purchases that seemed conditioned to 3 brands from the 50s. I feel that they are built just well-enough to endure the quality that they boast for the years of usafe expected. Usually their replacement parts/bags with the lifetime guarantee are fantastic too. I wish they had a better array of colors or color-availability - but that really dials down to collabs and what colors are imprintable onto the materials they use for their shells, so... I get it.

  • I hate that everyone has the same luggage now but Away is truly the best because it's super light.. I can barely lift anything but I have no problems when I'm using this carry on!

  • Away Luggage is the epitome of modern travel. Known for its durable, lightweight hard-shell suitcases with built-in USB chargers, it’s designed for efficiency and style. The interior features smart organization systems, including compression pads and removable laundry bags. Their lifetime warranty ensures peace of mind for frequent travelers. While some users report scuffs on the exterior over time, the overall quality and functionality make Away an excellent investment. Whether for business or leisure, it’s a chic and reliable travel companion.

  • I’ve traveled all over the world in my Away carry on. Even for 3 weeks abroad! It’s super light and is the perfect amount of room if you pack light! Love the built in charger too.

  • I love this brand because it gives me a luxurious feeling of traveling. I love the color options they have. The zippers are very reliable and easy to check at the airport. I always know which bag is mine at the baggage claim!

  • I have the silver alumium luggage which seems like a more affordable option of a Rimowa. The aesthetic and features are great. I like the layout of the bag and the laundry bag attached. However, the quality is lacking. The first time I used this bag, the wheel cover popped off and the clip that holds one of the internal pockets closed snapped off.

  • Love the away luggage very durable can really pack a lot in the luggage very good quality in the luggage would recommend

  • This is the best suitcase I have ever had! I was struggling to find a carry-on that fit within Air Canada’s strict size guidelines, but still could fit all of my clothing and shoes for both short and long trips. This suitcase accomplished just that. I brought it along with me on a 3 week trip to Italy. It held up great amongst heavy rain, thunderstorms, the cobblestone streets, train rides, and plane rides. I also love the color schemes that this product offers. It looks cute, and also functions great!

  • I've had my away luggage set since 2019 and it is in great condition. I'm never buying another luggage brand!

  • Decidedly worth the hype. Your luggage SHOULD be an investment.

  • I have only used my away bag for one trip, but it has been amazing. I did get the white color and it does scuff very easily, but it is very durable and holds so much.

  • Bought this suitcase over 5 years ago, taken it on international trips many times! Love how much you can squeeze in on the carryon size. After a while the handle stops gliding up and down as easily as before and they sent me a complete new suitcase after contacting their customer service. Wish they wouldn’t have gotten rid of the included charger in the bags!
