Traveling is a great adventure as long as you have the best travel luggage and suitcases to make each trip a breeze. We put together a great list of some of the best travel luggage and suitcases that will fit your travel needs or may serve as great gift ideas for the holiday season.
SwissGear Hardside Expandable Luggage
An overpacker’s delight, this expandable 28-inch luggage is built with multiple protective measures for easy and secure travel. We like that this luggage was designed with reinforced grab handles as well as side bumper feet to protect it from cracks and scratches. This luggage also has four multidirectional spinning wheels and a telescopic handle that locks securely so that you can maneuver your way easily through the crowds in an airport.
Inside of this SwissGear Luggage is a split case design allowing you to pack both sides of the luggage while keeping those items separate from each other. One side has a zippered divider panel with a mesh pocket that allows you to view the inside. On the other side are tie-down straps to keep all luggage on that side in place. In the middle of both sections is a wet pouch to keep any liquids you may be traveling with from leaking into your luggage, or to protect any sensitive items from becoming wet.
Samsonite Omni PC Hardside Expandable Luggage
This suitcase is a great deal for Black Friday with 35% off the original price of a trusted name brand, this will serve as a great gift for the regular traveler. The Omni Hardshell Expandable luggage is made of a polycarbonate shell that is lightweight but durable, preventing scratches and cracks. It travels easily thanks to four multidirectional wheels on the bottom that allow it to rotate 360º with ease and a locking retractable handle to help you easily guide it through airport crowds.
Once opened this luggage presents dual-sided packing with a mesh divider on one side, accessible with a zipper, and a cross-strap divider on the other side. We like that this luggage is expandable so that you can fit more than meets the eye. We also enjoy the TSA-approved side lock, which locks the zippers in place so no one can get in except yourself or the TSA agents.
Coolife Hardshell Luggage 3 Piece Set
We love the style of this luggage set, which comes with three pieces: a 20”, a 24”, and a 28”. They come in a variety of colors such as apricot navy, blue, apple green, and champagne so that you can match the style of whoever you may be buying it for. The interior has two sides that are both capable of holding clothing items and one side uses a zippered divider while the other uses cross straps to keep luggage in place.
We enjoy the protective measures on these suitcases since all three come with side bumper feet so that you can set them on their side when storing them, placing them in an overhead bin, or for when they are checked. Another added feature on all three cases is the TSA-approved side lock, which locks the zippers in place to prevent theft. Traveling with them is also an ease with its reinforced handles and 360º spinning wheels with telescopic handles.
Kono Hard Shell Carry-On Luggage
This carry-on luggage is constructed with water-resistant and scratch-resistant polypropylene that looks sleek and is lightweight. The resilience of this carry-on luggage is especially proven through its retractable handle, which can not only lock in three different positions but is sturdy and can withstand heavy weight. We like the quality of the zippers. It can be annoying when zipper teeth get locked up or begin to deform, but the Kono hard shell luggage has YKK zippers that use 5 strands of thread, which prevents the common problems that can occur.
Inside the luggage is dual-sided packing with both sides using a divider. One side uses cross straps to lock any luggage into place, while the other side has a zippered divider, which includes a zipper pocket so you can keep certain items separate. This luggage also has four multi-directional wheels at the bottom that move smoothly and silently.
American Tourister Moonlight Hardside Expandable Luggage
The Moonlight Expandable Luggage from American Tourister is a simple and expandable carry-on luggage. It’s a great gift idea for someone who doesn’t want any frills but still wants great quality and durability. It comes in 16 designs and colors and all are discounted with Amazon’s Black Friday deal. We like that even for a small carry-on bag it can expand an extra 1.5” to accommodate for more luggage, but it won’t compromise its overhead storability.
The top and side handles make this bag easy to travel with when not on its wheels, but once placed upright the multidirectional wheels in conjunction with the retractable handle will make it a breeze to travel through the airport. We like that this suitcase comes with a 10-year warranty just in case of any production defects.
Amazon Basics 3 Piece Hardside Set
A highly rated 3-piece luggage set, these Amazon Basics are Amazon’s Choice for some of the best luggage, and now with 15% off they can be a perfect gift for a prospective traveler. The three cases included in this set are a 20” that’s a perfect size for carry-on, a 24”, and a 28”. All three cases serve their purpose depending on your trip length, but all have the same 360º spinning wheels at the base as well as telescopic handles for ease of travel.
The exterior of these cases is an ABS hard shell that is durable, scratch-resistant, and light so you aren’t carrying more weight than you need to. The interior is lined with 150D polyester making it waterproof and easy to clean. Each case has a cross-strap divider on one side of the interior and a zippered mesh divider on the other side with a convenient mesh pocket.
Delsey Paris Helium Aero Hardside Luggage 2 Piece Set
For those that are searching for a carry-on and checked bag this 2-piece set is 23% off this Black Friday and features two very reliable luggage pieces. The first piece is a 19” carry-on. We love this piece because it opens up from the front to reveal a pocket perfect for a laptop, a book you want to read on the plane, or any necessary documents you want to easily access. The second piece is a 29” case which is perfect for checked luggage and is great for up to 9 days worth of travel.
The interior of both cases includes a mesh divider on one side and tie-down straps on the other to ensure luggage doesn’t move around or mix while traveling. Both cases are made of a scratch-resistant and durable polycarbonate that is also lightweight. Both cases are equipped with a TSA-approved side lock, telescopic handles, and multidirectional wheels at the base.
Samsonite S’Cure Hardside 28-inch Luggage
A great gift idea for those who like their luggage to have added protection, the Samsonite S’Cure features a three-point locking system with a snapping lock on both the bottom and top as well as a TSA-approved locking system on the side of the case. The rubber frame gasket along the frame of the opening prevents moisture or debris from entering the case and therefore protecting your items.
We love Samsonite’s Flowlite technology, which is what they use to create thinner exterior shells for a lightweight design while increasing durability and strength. The interior serves more utility than style, but one side provides a zippered divider and the other a cross strap divider to keep luggage separate, and with no fabric on the interior, there is more room for your luggage.
Travel Select Amsterdam Softside Expandable Rolling Luggage
For those travelers that don’t like hard-shelled luggage or suitcases, the Travel Select Amsterdam is a carry-on piece that is lightweight and features a two-tone polyester exterior. This bag features a retractable top handle that locks into place with inline skate wheels for easy unidirectional travel through the airport, and also features standard side and top handles so it can easily be carried up off the ground.
We like the 2 large external pockets on the front, which makes it easy to access items while on a flight such as a book, tablet, or even important documents such as a passport. This luggage can expand up to 2” and still remains the right size to carry on to most flights. Another feature we like about this bag is that there is a bag clasp on the top so you can attach another bag and travel hands-free.
Weekender Duffel Bags for Women and Men
This green duffel bag serves as a great carry-on bag for any flight since it can easily be placed in the overhead bin or can be placed under the seat in front of you. This bag can also serve multiple purposes outside of just travel, and will also come in handy for the gym, sports practice, or dance class. We like that this bag is made of water-resistant fabric and contains a wet pocket, perfect for wet items like a bathing suit or wet towel, which can come in handy while traveling.
A convenient side pocket serves as a great place to easily access your phone or a book, and the compartment on the side can fit an extra pair of shoes. The bag comes with a shoulder strap in addition to the dual handles on top for easy travel. We like that the bag also has a rear strap, which easily slides onto a luggage handle so you can travel hands-free with other luggage.
