Luggage Lovers Say: "I got these as a Black Friday deal and was weary of the quality. These were a LIFESAVER while traveling. They glided so easily. I was able to move two at one time. There is also extra room at the top of the suitcase behind the zippered pocket. A great addition! I was able to put shoes there so that they didn't touch the rest of my clothes. Very happy!" – Stephanie Nettles, Amazon Reviewer

Luggage Lovers Say: "I took this suitcase to Europe for 10 days and it took a beating from airline rough handling to walking old streets and even a dirt and pebble road. It fit everything without using the expander before I left. Coming home, I was able to fit all of my souvenirs, etc using the expander. I can't praise this suitcase enough and the pink color was easy to find in baggage claim. I can't believe how great this suitcase is for the price! Wheels are study, suitcase body is sturdy, yet lightweight." – Susane R., Amazon reviewer

Luggage Lovers Say: "I purchased this bag for some upcoming interviews requiring me to travel. It is so well designed! When it arrived I tested it out to see how much it would hold. It easily fit two suits and three tops (all on hangers), three pairs of shoes, jeans, a cardigan, a shirt, and a stuffed bag of toiletries with more room to spare. More than enough space for a few days worth of clothes. It also is very easy to zip up, and I was surprised how nice the material felt for the price. The handles feel secure and the shoulder strap feels sturdy. Zippers work well and there are a ton of pockets throughout. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited to use a bag before!" – Hannah, Amazon reviewer

The Hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars and 210 ratings
Luggage Lovers Say: "Really love the unique design, color, and construction of this suitcase. Definitely comes from a Chinese brand called ‘Mixi’ don’t know why it’s being sold under ‘Hanke’. Either way, it rivals and even surpasses the quality of some Samsonite cases I’ve owned in the past. I love that it’s made of hard aluminum instead of polycarbonate like other suitcases. The wheels are crazy smooth and there’s a solid amount of storage space for a carry-on. The handle also extends quite far which is nice as I was worried this suitcase would be too short for me..." – Adrian, Amazon Reviewer

The inside had several pockets and straps making it very easy to organize my clothes, chargers/electronics, shoes, liquids all separately! I travel every 1-2 months from California to Louisiana and have never had any issues with this. I wish it came with a safety lock but luckily I had my own TSA-approved small padlock with a key that fits into the zippers to keep them closed. No complaints! Love it so much." – Cassie K., Amazon Reviewer

17% Off WANDF Foldable Travel Duffle Bag
Best Economy Carry-On
It's not technically on sale, but it's unbelievably affordable and we've raved about this duffle before for good reason. It's made from water-resistant nylon, can fit over 50 pounds of belongings, and features a pocket that allows the bag to slide over your luggage handle. Reviewers praise its perfectly "personal item" size that beats all of those sneaky airlines' carry-on restrictions.
The Hype: 4.4 out of 5 stars; 10,496 ratings
Luggage Lovers Say: "I deliberated for ages as to whether this would be big enough to use for luggage for a four-day long city break as I wanted something that I didn't have to check-in for the flight to cut down on time wasted in the airport once we arrived.
It was perfect! I managed to get in jeans, leggings, pajamas, three tops, underwear, toiletries/make-up, hair straighteners, a guidebook, an iPad, and a Kindle and there was still room leftover. It was so light to carry, and easy too thanks to the long shoulder strap. The only negative, and it's not a big one, is that I can't refold it back into its pocket but it folds up small anyway so storing it isn't a problem. The quality is very good, it's unlined but the material is quite thick and strong and it looks much more expensive than it actually is." - JoMc, Amazon Reviewer

The Hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars; 1,595 ratings
Luggage Lovers Say: "I like this bag for several reasons. One, it’s large- I can fit a week’s worth of clothes and shoes, but it’s not huge and heavy because when I need to store it, it collapses down flat. Two, it has nice zipper compartments- some on the outside, and inside there’s one on the left side that I can unzip and add smaller things like jewelry, toiletries, or undergarments. Third, it’s water-resistant on the outside and the outer fabric feels durable, too. Lastly, the wheels are larger than I see on most rolling bags, so they can handle a bit rougher surface. Love this bag!" – Steph McC, Amazon Reviewers

Luggage Lovers Say: "My carry-on suitcase arrived yesterday. I am very impressed with the quality of construction and functionality. Most carry-ons are either for my computer and accessories with little or no room for clothes, or they are fine for clothes but have no provisions for storing and protecting a computer. This will be great for both. I loaded my 15" Mac into the padded compartment and my iPad in the smaller padded compartment. There is room for accessories and cables in that compartment. There is a ton of space available in the main compartment for clothes and toiletries, or anything else you need. I like that the computer and tablet have their own compartment with easy access!" – Bilfis, Amazon Reviewer
