Why the Right Carry-On Matters
For many travelers, the carry-on is the single most important piece of luggage. Checked baggage comes with risks: lost bags, extra fees, and wasted time at the carousel. A great carry-on eliminates these problems by ensuring:
- Overhead bin compatibility with all airlines.
- Lightweight maneuverability through airports and city streets.
- Smart interior organization that fits more into less space.
- Durability to handle repeated trips.
The Away Carry-On has been rigorously tested to meet these demands, becoming a trusted companion for millions of travelers worldwide.

Sleek Design That Works Everywhere
One of the reasons this suitcase has become iconic is its minimalist design. Clean lines, subtle branding, and elegant finishes make it equally at home on a business trip, a honeymoon, or a weekend getaway.
Available in a spectrum of colors—from timeless Jet Black and Navy Blue to bold options like Sorbet Orange and Cherry Red—it adapts to your personal style. Away even offers personalization, so your suitcase becomes unmistakably yours.
Built with Durability in Mind
Not all hard-shell suitcases are created equal. The Away Carry-On uses a lightweight yet durable polycarbonate shell that’s been tested for:
- Impact resistance against drops and knocks.
- Flexibility to handle pressure without cracking.
- Weather resilience against rain and temperature shifts.
This means you can confidently roll through airports, cobblestone streets, or busy train stations without worrying about damage.

Maneuverability Made Effortless
Heavy, clunky suitcases can ruin even the smoothest trip. This carry-on is built to move with you, not against you:
- 360° spinner wheels: Glide silently across surfaces, from polished airport floors to uneven sidewalks.
- Easy-grip top handle: Makes lifting into overhead bins simple.
- Underside grab handle: A subtle but brilliant feature for pulling from car trunks or luggage racks.
- Lightweight design (7.5 lbs): Reduces strain when carrying or lifting.
Together, these features ensure stress-free movement through any environment.
