Best Prime Day luggage deals: Save on Away, Samsonite, and Travelpro

October Prime Day is already more than half over. In the meantime, there are still plenty of luggage deals left on our favorite carry-ons, underseat bags, backpacks, personal items, and other useful gear for a smoother travel experience.

Last week Away dropped a complete redesign of its core collection, and today we've noticed a ton of the old Away models on sale for up to 30% off. Travelpro, Swissgear, and Samsonite suitcases are also on clearance. Moreover, July has select suitcases for 25% off, including durable hardshells that can withstand less-than-gentle baggage handlers.

Since yesterday, we've removed any expired luggage deals, as well as any bags with prices that went back up too far to be worth including. The good news: our favorite low-cost suitcase, the Bagsmart Carry-On, is still on sale for $62.89.

To see our full list of today's top discounts, visit our main Prime Day deals hub. For more Prime Day travel deals, check out our guides the best backpacks on sale and Prime Day walking shoe deals.

Prime Day luggage deals FAQs

Which luggage brands have the best discounts for Prime Day?

We recommend browsing the official Amazon storefronts of Samsonite, Travelpro, Delsey Paris, and SwissGear for consistently steep markdowns that often range between 30% to 60% off.

What's the best carry-on to buy during Prime Day?

We tested dozens of carry-ons by evaluating each bag's packability, maneuverability, and durability. We've also considered their material quality and any bonus features like charging ports or compression straps.

Ultimately, the Travelpro Platinum Elite beat out all other carry-ons. Every single detail improved our packing experience, and the sturdy exterior can withstand tarmac tosses.

Are hardside or softside suitcases better for travel?

It depends on your packing style. Hardshells offer superior protection for fragile items and are easy to wipe clean. Softside suitcases (such as the Travelpro Platinum Elite Softside Carry-On) typically feature more exterior pockets and expandable fabric that lets you squeeze in an extra outfit.

How do I know I'm getting a good deal on a suitcase?

For this guide, our editors have through the price history over our years of covering the best Prime Day luggage deals and used the tracking tool CamelCamelCamel. This way we can report on where Amazon has jacked up the listing prices, thereby nixing any inflated deals.

What are the best luggage brands on sale?

Some of our favorite luggage brands offer deep discounts on suitcases for Prime Day. Samsonite has slashed prices this Prime Day, with some bundles at over 50% off. Away now has carry-on and checked bags marked down 20%, and there are tons of other deals going live all the time.

Do Prime Day luggage deals include their manufacturer warranty?

Yes. As long as you purchase your suitcase directly from its authorized Amazon storefront, then major names like Samsonite, Travelpro, and Delsey Paris will honor their warranties. Double-check you're not buying from an unauthorized third-party reseller so that your warranty remains valid.

What size bag will fit under an airplane seat?

It depends on the airline carrier. We recommend choosing an underseat bag that's no bigger than 18 x 14 x 8 inches when fully packed.
