These Prime Day luggage deals — up to 55% off — really go the extra mile

Shopping for luggage can feel oddly high stakes. It needs to survive baggage handlers, uneven streets and repeatedly throwing your entire weight on it to get it to zip shut — all without giving up mid-trip. The tricky part about shopping for a suitcase is you often don't know if it's a winner or a letdown until you've taken it on a couple of trips, making it a tough purchase to regret, and even tougher to return.

That's where I come in. I used to be a travel writer, so I've tested more suitcases than I care to count. Plus, I log tens of thousands of miles of travel each year. I know what actually matters: sturdy wheels, smart storage, tough exteriors and just the right amount of give when you're pushing the packing limits.

I've combed through hundreds (Maybe thousands? I'm kind of going blind a this point.) of Prime Day deals to find the best on-sale luggage to make your travels a dream. Whether you're checking a bag, carrying on or packing for a family of four, I've got picks that'll help your trip go off without a hitch — or a baggage-claim meltdown.

Need a carry-on that's a strong and sturdy smooth-glider and somehow manages to fit all you need and then some? This blue beauty might be the one. Strong and dependable, this hardside spinner gets the job done without blowing your budget. 

The extra-strong, scratch-resistant ABS exterior protects against the inevitable dings and scrapes of air travel, while the compact size makes it easy to stash in overhead bins. It'll roll like a champ through terminals and city streets thanks to its multi-directional spinner wheels, and the expandable feature gives you a little extra breathing room for souvenirs or bulky layers. The interior is simple but functional, with a zippered divider and compression straps to keep things in place.

While it's not on sale in every color, it is on sale in our favorite: this stunning navy shade.

Pickpockets and identity thieves — back off! Well, thankfully, you won't have to get confrontational during your travels because this messenger bag will do the talking for you. Currently 55% off in this smooth slate gray shade.

Its five-point security system includes slash-resistant body panels and strap, lockable zippers and an RFID-blocking organizer — oh, and it's filled with pockets galore, to add to its utility. 

$36 at Amazon

This three-piece set is so classic-looking and is a dead ringer for the much pricier (and internet-trendy) Beis bag set. The roller bag has a mounted TSA lock and internal organizational bags, as well as 360° spinner wheels and a telescoping handle with a comfort grip. 

The under-seat bag has an expandable bottom and a super-smart trolley sleeve that has a zip pocket for easy access to your passport and cell phone. And completing the set is a matching toiletry bag made of water-resistant polyester. 

This set looks so stylish but also has features that are normally seen on much higher-end sets, including contrasting details that'll make it look first class, even when you're flying coach. 

$80 at Amazon

If you're looking for a carry-on that punches well above its weight, this spinner is a winner. It's compact enough to fit easily in overhead bins, even on packed flights. My favorite feature is the front pocket that flips open for easy access to your laptop or tablet without cracking open your whole bag.

Inside, it’s surprisingly spacious and thoughtfully laid out, with a mesh divider, organization pockets and elastic cross-straps that keep things neat. You also get 1.5 inches of expansion when you need it, plus smooth 360° spinner wheels make airport navigation effortless. The polycarbonate shell resists scratches and scuffs, so it still looks new after multiple trips. A TSA-approved lock adds extra peace of mind.

Are you more of a soft-sided luggage fan? These days, hard-siders get all the love, but we don't blame you for your devotion to these ol' softies. They are easier to squeeze every square inch of stuffing into and are more pliable when squeezed into tight spaces. If you want the crème de la crème of soft-sided carry-on bags, you should take a look at this 20-inch bold burgundy option with over 750 five-star fans. Marked down over 40% off, it's at an all-time low. 

The smooth-rolling wheels glide effortlessly in all directions, and the expandable zipper gives you loads of breathing room when you inevitably bring home extras from your travels.

A couple of years ago, I cornered some flight attendants while I was waiting for a bathroom. Their luggage of choice? Samsonite! Not Tumi, not Briggs & Riley — good, reliable Samsonite. Which makes sense if you consider how long it's been around for. The brand is obviously doing something right — and so is this expandable duo, which happens to be 50% off in this navy shade, as well as pink, light gray, black and purple. 

$240 at Amazon

This 21-inch, soft-sided spinner is so chic. It's giving peak 1960s Riviera style. But don't let the old-school glam fool you — it's packed with modern features that make airport sprints and terminal treks way easier.

The 360° spinner wheels have a magnetic self-aligning system (yes, that's a thing), and the handle adjusts to four heights — both stellar features for weaving through crowds. And while it looks as elegant as Jackie O, it's made of tough, high-density nylon with a DuraGuard coating to resist scuffs and stains. The fun feature that has shoppers swooning, however, is a built-in USB port with a pocket for your power bank. Bonus: It fits in most overhead bins and resists tipping, even when expanded.

Right now it's on sale for over 30% off in this navy with cordovan detailing, as well as a vintage gray, bordeaux red, black and a rich espresso brown.

Durable, lightweight, rolls like a dream and fits well in an overhead bin — plus it's darn cute to look at. The sleek and modern design is what first caught my eye as I was sifting through thousands of deals, but the swooning reviews are what are making me add this one to my cart. 

OK, now for the stats: Measuring 19 inches, the outside features durable and lightweight ABS, 360° spinner wheels and a telescoping handle, which make navigating tight terminals and zigzagging crowds feel effortless. Plus, it has a pop-out cup holder so you're not left spilling that $15 latte you grabbed after you got through security. 

On the inside, you get a roomy main compartment with compression straps and a zippered divider — ideal for keeping clothes in place and separating the clean stuff from not-so-clean. It's also expandable, so if you pick up a few extras on your trip, you won't need a second bag to get them home, and it has an integrated TSA-approved lock. All this and it's over 45% off — the lowest price to date — and available in 11 gorgeous, eye-catching colors, including this bold red that made me scream "Mine!" to absolutely no one but myself. Prices vary, but most shades are marked down this low.

I see no reason not to make this once-a-year, epic sales event a reason to get a whole new luggage set. And if it happens to come in a color so pretty you practically melt at a discount of 50% — let's be clear, I am not the friend that's going to talk you out of it. You've got your carry-on, your medium checked bag and you've got the "I pack everything including my Dyson Air Wrap and six pairs of shoes" size (girl, I see you).

The wheels move like buttah, the expandable handles keep the bags moving with ease, and the inside of each case is filled with organizational options like straps and zippered pouches. Plus, each piece is expandable, for when you're feeling a little extra during your shopping escapades.  

If you aren't feeling this Caribbean Blue as much as I am, do know that there is a very rich Raspberry shade that's also 50% off. 

$245 at Amazon

Was it even on your radar that Wrangler made luggage, let alone a cool carry-on with tons of features that has garnered over 10,800 five-star reviews? Maybe or maybe not, but I'm gonna tell you why this bag is great either way. 

You're probably bored of me talking about lightweight ABS durability, 360° wheels, telescoping handles and roomy zippered compartments on the inside (listen, I wouldn't put the crummy stuff on this list, so sue me for being repetitive). So, let me focus on the stuff that this doesn't have in common with the other options on this list. First, this is a frequent flier's dream — a two-bag set that includes one roomy 20-inch carry-on and one under-the-seat personal item with a trolley sleeve. You get both for under $40. 

That's not all! The 20-incher also features a cup holder that holds all standard coffee cups and water bottles, and it has a hook for holding a lighter bag (like that croissant you grabbed on your way to your gate). Finally, it has a built-in USB port for keeping your devices charged while en route.  

$39 at Amazon

First off, I love that if we were in a movie from the 1960s, this is exactly the look of a set that the leads would pack for a vacation to Venus. But since we aren't living in a 1960s sci-fi movie, let's focus on the impressive utility of this under-$100 four-piece set. 

Each is made from durable, tear-resistant polyester that can handle the usual airport chaos. The soft sides make it easier to squeeze into tight spaces, and the zippered expansion gives bonus space when you bring home more than you left with.

The inline skate-style wheels and telescoping handles make for smooth airport navigation, and the multiple zippered pockets — both inside and out — help keep things organized. Plus, it includes a tote bag that's perfect for under-seat stashing or day trips.

$96 at Amazon

What the what? Is the bestselling Away carry-on actually on sale? If I’m dreaming, please don’t wake me.

It’s not just the stunning shades, including this bold Tango Red, ethereal Sky Gray and sunny Sorbet Orange, that have me excited. The larger size allows for longer getaways. Technically, it's 23 inches, so just a smidge bigger than standard carry-ons, but most major airlines (Delta, American) will let it fly — budget carriers, maybe not.

Where it really shines is in the details. The lightweight polycarbonate shell is water-resistant and built to take a beating without showing it. The 360° spinner wheels glide like a dream, the quick-release handle adjusts to your stride, and the grab handle underneath makes overhead bins less of a struggle.

The inside is just as smart: a compression system for extra room, a laundry bag to separate dirty clothes and a TSA-approved lock for peace of mind. And right now it's on sale for the lowest price I can find anywhere.

$295 at Amazon

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
