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 love this brand! I bought their luggage for a trip and it was perfect! It is very big and everything I wanted to put in it fit. I am very happy to have bought it.

Great suitcase. Very durable and easy to roll when full.

Very sturdy bags that’ll lost you a long tjme. Bought a bag from this brand 3 years ago and have been hooked ever since. Fits a lot more than you would think too

I love my away luggage! I was skeptical because of the price but the luggage itself is light, and the wheels are super smooth. I have had other brands where the luggage couldn’t be wheeled around without issue if it was full.

Away has a lifetime warranty! That’s what continues to be reason I repurchase. A single piece might seem expensive, but it will last a lifetime. The only issues I’ve had are with the battery packs. That warranty is only for a year. My first one stopped charging within a year and my second one works great, the plastic around the ports has just broken off which is a huge bummer! Their customer support has been great with this, though.

I’ve had my away bag for over 3 years - has held up great and looks great. Can fit a surprising amount of clothes too.

I paid $800 for the large aluminum bag. IT IS HORRIBLE. Because of the material used for this bag, it is more prone to scuffs and big dents - so much so that the airline marked mine as "damaged upon receipt." The Customer Support team said "those are souvenirs of your travel." BS. They won't do anything for me. I have 5 pieces of Away luggage and won't buy anymore after this experience.

Bought for my husband as a gift and I so wish I bought it for myself! We now share his set on long trips. Super durable- been all over the world without a mark on it. Easily packed and fits much more than meets the eye.

More color choices would be great

TERRIBLE PRODUCT, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE VIA PHONE, UNABLE TO COMPLETE RETURN REQUESTS AND IN CREDIT CARD DISPUTES WITH THEM AT THE MONENT. STAY AWAY!!!
Feedback
A sham company that avoids in every way possible, allowing communication except via email. They state they have a 30 minute return policy which I have from them in an email already submitted along additional 20+ emails.

I love everything about this brand and about my suitcase. I've had it for 5 years and it's good as the day I bought it. I had one problem with my charger that came with the product and they quickly replaced it. If I ever wanted to expand my suitcase fleet, I would return to Away.

While the bags are durable, airlines absolutely hate these bags. They are impossible to grab the handles, especially with gloves, so the airline employees end up grabbing the sides of the bag and throwing them around. The outside plastic scratches very easily .
Feedback
The handles need to stick out a little more and more easily extend out from the bags, so you don’t have to force your fingers under them.

I love my Always bag! It looks sleek and minimal, functions well, & rolls smoothly! I never have to fight with the handle to go down and the charger holder is always a plus.
Feedback
The only thing that can be difficult sometimes is the fact that you cannot “stuff” your suitcase as much as you can for some other brands. But you can always buy a bigger one!

I use my away exclusively as a carry-on, anytime I've had to check it in it comes back with scratches all over! I've also found that over time the wheels have run thin, faster than I've experienced with lower price point suitcases like Samsonite or American Tourister. Would recommend if price point was a bit better, but otherwise think suitcase shoppers are better off going with a cheaper alternative.

I’ve had the Away bigger carryon for about 5 years now. After having “luggage-envy” I bought the luggage and have no regrets. The handle came loose after a few years of wear and tear and Away replaced it right away. My limited edition color was not available but I was able upgrade to the expandable bigger carryon which is even better for return trips home.
Feedback
Great customer service once you got a hold of them.. Replaced luggage without the hassle. I emailed a few photos and received my new luggage. Service was slow during the pandemic though. I had to follow up a few times before getting a response.

I ordered the luggage set with the bigger carry-on and the medium, and have been using them for almost 4 years now. I love the compartments, lock, extra battery and misc items included, and how easy it rolls. It's pretty light-weight, but still durable. Even when I'm not using the luggage itself, the battery pack lasts a while and has been useful for charging on the go.

I have the large everywhere bag and I honestly can't imagine traveling without it! It's extremely high quality and at a great price point.
Feedback
Overall, this is an incredible bag. It does get a little bit heavy if you pack your laptop and have a weekend's worth of stuff in it, but the convenience makes it so worth it.

Such good quality. It's nice they will fix it since a lot of the time the safety of your luggage is in other people hands
Feedback
More ways to customize. It is so hard to tell them apart now that so many people have them. AND would love it if they came with travel jackets since they are already at a high price point

I love Away and the size of my suitcase is great! However, after a couple years of traveling with it, my suitcase shows real signs of wear and tear and monogrammed paint is peeling off.

i love my Away carry-on bag. the product is absolutely perfect.
Feedback
i travel 25+ times/year and love my Away bag. it is the perfect size and the hard-shell is perfect for all conditions. only negative feedback is that you have to take the battery out when you fly.

I have the Carry-On and it is perfect for long weekend trips. Fits in overhead bins and the lock feature is a great touch. Also love that they pack international chargers/adapters!
