Carry-On Luggage Sales: Deals and Discounts to Shop Now (June 2025)

During our testing the Amazon Basics Hardshell Suitcase Set surprised us by delivering strong protection with a durable, scratch-resistant shell and multiple interior zippered compartments that earned it a respectable 7/10 for utility. We found the expandable capacity and compression straps genuinely help when you need extra room, but the set lacks an integrated lock and the telescopic handle can wobble, which lowers appeal for travelers who prioritize security and premium feel. In short, it’s a reliable budget choice for organized packing without the frills of higher-end cases.

During our review the Travelers Club Chicago set is appealing for budget shoppers because it’s very lightweight and easy to carry, but that economy helps explain its 5/10 score. We found the spinner wheels and expandable hardshell work well for short trips, yet the wheels may not withstand rough use and the extendable handle can feel flimsy under load, which hurts long-term reliability. Our experience shows it’s serviceable for light, infrequent travel but not a durable choice for regular flyers.

Wrangler's Hardside Spinner Carry-On landed a modest 6/10 in our testing and is best for travelers who prioritize light packing over premium fit-and-finish. We found the hardshell's lightweight design makes gate-to-gate moves effortless and the 360° spinner wheels help it glide, but the telescoping handle feels a bit wobbly when fully extended and there’s no built-in locking system for added security. In real-world use it’s an affordable, no-frills option if you accept those trade-offs.

The HELIUM AERO Carry-On scored 7.5/10 in our testing, balancing lightweight handling with breezy maneuverability thanks to smooth-rolling spinner wheels. We found the expandable hardshell is handy when you need an extra inch of packing space, but the glossy finish shows scratches and scuffs more than we’d like. During our review the off-center handle made the case swing when lifted and the TSA-approved lock’s dials can be fiddly to read, so packers who value quick grab-and-go security should practice setting the code.

The Trnk Carry-On stands out with its vintage trunk styling and earned a 7/10 in our testing for durable construction and character. We found the polycarbonate/ABS shell resists abrasion well and the double spinner wheels deliver smooth 360-degree maneuvering, making it a head-turner at the gate. During our review the hard shell can show scuffs over time and some users reported a flimsy pull handle, while the trunk-like layout occasionally makes end access a bit awkward.

In our experience the Vera Bradley Miramar Weekender is a stylish, well-organized bag that earned a middling 6.5/10 by prioritizing organization over rugged travel features. We found the lightweight fabric construction, multiple compartments and a dedicated 13-inch laptop pocket make packing outfits and tech effortless for short trips, but the lack of wheels and less protective soft fabric reduce practicality for fragile items. During our review we think it’s ideal for weekenders who value organization and style, though business travelers with larger laptops may need something stiffer or wheeled.

During our review the Stevyn Rolling Duffel impressed with roomy interior organization, a separate shoe pocket and durable fabric construction that helped it score a solid 7.5/10 for value. We found the smooth-rolling wheels and retractable handle make airport and curbside maneuvers hassle-free, and the external pockets and compression straps keep essentials tidy on the go. Our experience shows it’s great for weekend trips and rougher terrain, though limited color options, the absence of a top handle and smaller overall capacity may make it less useful for longer vacations.

During our review the Travelers Club Richmond Spinner impressed as an ultra-affordable, lightweight hardshell that moves easily on 360° spinner wheels — perfect for quick trips and overhead-bin storage. We found it rolls smoothly through terminals and is simple to stow, but the extendable handle can feel flimsy under heavier loads and the limited external pockets reduce easy access to travel documents. Our experience shows it’s a decent budget option for infrequent flyers, though frequent travelers may want a sturdier handle and more organization.

In our testing the SWISSGEAR Sion Carry-On Spinner earned a solid 7/10 for practical organization and smooth rolling on flat surfaces. We found the 360-degree spinner wheels and roomy compartments — including a removable wet bag and mesh pockets — make packing and accessing items straightforward, while the expandable design gives extra space when you need it. During our review the roughly 8-pound weight and a telescoping handle that lacks intermediate locks were drawbacks, and the wheels can struggle on cobblestone or rough pavement.

The Theorym Underseater Spinner is a thoughtful softside option that scored 6.5/10 in our testing thanks to eco‑friendly fabric and practical organization, but it comes with trade‑offs. We found the StackIt Sleeve is a standout convenience for attaching it to larger luggage and the external pockets make gate‑to‑cabin access effortless. During our review the 6.88‑lb weight and $209.99 price (heavier and pricier than many softside rivals) reduce its competitiveness for budget or weight‑conscious flyers, though it’s a solid choice if sustainability and function matter.

In our testing the Skyline Carry On Spinner makes a compelling budget pick thanks to its lightweight hardshell, 360° spinner wheels and roomy, expandable interior with compression straps that helps you squeeze in extra outfits. We found it maneuvers easily through crowded gates and stores well in overhead bins, but its 5.5/10 score reflects real durability concerns: multiple users reported zippers breaking, wheels falling off and even shell cracking after minimal use. During our review we recommend it only for short, low-stress trips where cost is the priority.

The ETRONIK Gym Bag is a budget-friendly, fabric carry-on alternative that scored 5.5/10 in our testing thanks to useful touches like a vented shoe compartment and an integrated USB charging port. We found the water-resistant nylon, external pockets and compression straps make it handy for short trips, keeping shoes away from clean clothes and devices topped up. During our review the zippers showed durability issues and the bag can collapse if the shoe compartment is empty, plus color choices are limited.

The Matein Carry-on Backpack scored 5.5/10 in our testing and is a solid pick if you prefer packing flexibility over wheeled convenience. We found the spacious main compartment and dedicated laptop sleeve make it ideal for short business trips or carry-on-only flyers who want organized storage, and external pockets plus compression straps help keep gear in place. During our review the lack of wheels proved inconvenient for long walks through airports, so it’s best for travelers comfortable shouldering weight.

If you need a super‑budget option, the 22 Inch Hardside Carry On Luggage at $29.49 is worth a look — in our testing it earns a modest 5.5/10 because it delivers big interior value for very little money. We found the hardshell design, spinner wheels and expandable cavity squeeze in enough for a four‑day trip and even include a convenient laptop compartment for easy access. During our review, however, size discrepancies between listed and actual measurements and durability concerns (it’s designed strictly as a carry‑on) mean it’s best for short, low‑stress travel.

In our testing the CHATELET AIR 2.0 Carry-On Plus feels premium and earned an 8/10 for offering thoughtful features like roomy, well-designed compartments that even fit bulkier items and boots, plus a TSA-approved combination lock for added peace of mind. We found the double-spinner wheels glide effortlessly through terminals, reducing strain on longer treks, and the hardshell construction provides solid protection. During our review we noted lighter colors show scuffs more quickly and the zippers can be stiff at first, while the overall weight is heavier than many rivals.

Our testing shows the Travelpro Platinum Elite offers an exceptionally smooth, straight ride thanks to magnetically aligning wheels, but its overall 6/10 score reflects trade-offs for many travelers. We found the softshell, expandable design and external pockets are very handy for packing flexibility, yet the bag’s oversized dimensions and heavy weight undermine carry-on compliance and make lifting a challenge. During our review it makes sense for users who prioritize rolling comfort and organization, but double-check your airline’s size rules before committing.

We found the Carry-On Pro Plus smartly balances accessibility and maneuverability with a built-in front compartment for easy access, high-performance 360° spinner wheels and a four-height telescopic handle, earning it a solid 7/10 for real-world use. In our testing the front pocket is perfect for laptop and carry-on essentials, but it does reduce main packing space and the hardshell is prone to scuffs, especially in lighter colors. During our review it’s a great pick if you want fast access and smooth rolling, but not if maximum capacity or scratch resistance are must-haves.

The Freeform Carry-On Spinner by Samsonite earned its high 8.5/10 rating in our testing by marrying a featherlight 6.5-pound frame with travel-ready security and flexibility. We found the built-in TSA-approved lock and expandable hardshell make it an excellent choice for frequent flyers who need secure, adjustable packing, while the smooth spinner wheels simplify gate-to-gate maneuvering. During our review limited color choices and a shell that shows scratches easily slightly dent its premium look, and the discreet ID tag can be tricky to spot.

Monos’ Carry-On earned a 6.5/10 in our testing by delivering excellent maneuverability and a sturdy build that handles heavier loads without feeling fragile. We found the compression-panel system is smart for packing both sides at once and keeps clothes neatly compressed, but during our review the lack of expandable zippers limits flexibility when you overpack. Our experience shows the absence of exterior pockets for quick access and a light-colored shell that scuffs easily are trade-offs to consider against its strong rolling performance.

Monos' Carry-On Plus scored 7.5/10 in our testing by blending a durable, water-resistant polycarbonate shell with high-performance 360° spinner wheels for easy airport navigation. We found the built-in compression pad with a zippered pocket is perfect for keeping flatter items organized and secure, and the interior compression straps help maximize space. During our review the absence of expandable zippers and external pockets limits quick-access versatility, and the hard shell scuffs relatively easily compared with tougher finishes.

Tumi’s Léger International Expandable Carry‑On gives you premium build and an extra 2.25 inches of packing capacity, but in our testing it scored a middling 6/10 because the high price doesn’t buy many extra conveniences. We found the rigid hardshell and internal compression straps do a nice job protecting and organizing clothing for business trips, so it feels reliable in real use. During our review the $750 price tag and lack of standout extras mean this is best for travelers who value finish and brand over maximum value.

The Werks Traveler 6.0 earned its high 8.5/10 rating in our testing by combining premium durability, expandable softshell storage and travel-friendly tech like an integrated USB port that keeps devices topped up on the go. Our experience shows the laptop compartment, external pockets and robust build handle frequent travel demands with confidence, though that reliability comes at a $525 price that will put off budget shoppers. During our review it’s a top-tier choice for frequent flyers who want tech-ready convenience and long-term durability.

The Essential 22 inch Carry-On from Briggs & Riley is one of our top-rated choices, earning a standout 9/10 for thoughtful features and outstanding garment care. In our testing the one-touch CX expansion system and built-in tri-fold garment folder with foam roll bar kept 1–2 suits neatly folded and virtually wrinkle-free, while the roller-style wheels give a straight, reliable pull. During our review the premium $659 price is steep for some, and a few users reported minor scuffing after repeated trips.

The International Expandable Carry‑On from Tumi earned a solid 7/10 in our testing by marrying premium materials and tech — a recycled polycarbonate shell, integrated TSA lock and a USB‑C port with up to 65W fast charging — that make life easier on long travel days. We found the compression straps and zip pockets help keep packed items tidy, and the overall build feels durable. During our review our experience shows the expansion can push the bag past standard airline size limits, and the $895 price plus limited color choices keep this as a premium pick rather than a universal bargain.
