We're in the last half of Amazon Prime Day, but there's still time to take advantage of steep discounts on suitcases, backpacks, and packing cubes to help you get a leg up on summer travel.
The brands we've highlighted here include Samsonite, Travelpro, and Monos — all of which have made it into our best luggage and best carry-on guides, written by two travel editors who each take more than 50 flights a year. We've also pulled out a few incredible deals on brands we haven't tested, like this set of luggage that is down to $27.21. While we can't vouch for its long-term durability, it has over 62,000 reviews on Amazon and is a great option if you need something cheap to get you from point A to point B.
While a $27 luggage set may sound tempting, Prime Day is also a great time to invest in a quality suitcase set. Keep an eye on this page for the latest luggage deals, or head on over to our main hub for all things Amazon Prime Day.

How to choose the best luggage
Soft-sided vs. hard-sided
Hard-sided luggage is incredibly popular, but in our testing we've found it's no more durable than soft-sided bags (and more likely to show wear and tear). Soft suitcases have some stretch to hold more items and are easier to compress to fit in an overhead compartment; they're also more likely to have external pockets for holding items you may need in flight. Hard-sided luggage looks sleek and may offer a bit more protection from rough handling for fragile packed items. To learn more about the differences between soft-side, hard-side, and aluminum carry-ons, check out our guide to the best carry-on luggage.
Size
For carry-on bags, you'll want to stick with a maximum bag size of 22" x 14" x 9", which will fit most domestic and international airline carrier limits. For checked luggage, keep in mind that bigger isn't always better. You may be tempted to buy the biggest checked bag you can find, but extra large bags easily end up over the airline's max weight once packed. A checked bag with max dimensions of 29" x 20.5" x 12.5" will accommodate most trips without being too hefty.
Wheels
We recommend most people choose a roller bag with four wheels instead of two. The extra wheels make it easier to maneuver the suitcase. However, two-wheeled bags generally have more packing space and are better for navigating uneven terrain, making them a solid option if you anticipate frequently navigating city subways and streets with your suitcase.
Extra features
Many luggage brands aim to stand out by offering a fleet of special features. The features we find most useful are built-in combination locks and in-bag compression. Ejectable batteries are popular add-ons, but we find they're not often used and can be a bit of a pain to travel with: Most airlines do not allow these batteries to be checked into a plane's cargo hold.
