Away Carry-On Flex ($325)
The bestselling Away Carry-On Flex is an internet favorite. While it comes in a classic model, the brand also has this handy expandable option. It's a smart choice for a weekend trip — if you buy something, you'll have room to bring it back. This bag would be considered a carry-on when not fully expanded, but if you were to utilize the feature, some airlines may require you to check the bag. Learn why one PS editor called this product the "one suitcase she can't live without" in this Away luggage review.
Editor Quote: "In comparison to other carry-on luggage, I was shocked at how easy it was to roll the bag through the airport . . . even as I was running to catch my flight. Since I am short and sometimes struggle to lift extremely full carry-ons into the luggage rack above my seat on a plane, the Away being lightweight was a big factor for me." — Hilary White, former editor
