Ranked the best carry-on luggage in several travel guides, Away is now offering 25 percent off everything sitewide. Away is the original direct-to-consumer travel company, drawing inspiration from iconic millennial brands like Warby Parker in both design and marketing. Despite some questionable business practices, several WIRED employees still use the classic Away hard-shell carry-on luggage (9/10, WIRED recommends) as their travel suitcase.

A simple soft carry-on from Travelpro won’t be the most noticeable suitcase as you cruise through the airport. But there’s a reason this is the brand most flight attendants have – you get incredible value. Our tester found that the handle was sturdy, the wheels rolled easily, and the device weighed just 2.3kg. It’s also just over $100.

The viral Beis carry-on is also one of our favorite suitcases. Not only is it a beautiful bag (reviewer Nena Farrell has hers in the light blue Slate), but it also has a ton of great features. A built-in weight! A pocket lock! Two organizer bags that match the color of your bag! A soft cushion for your hand on the handle! Beis doesn’t often have special offers, so this is a good time to buy.

At least one If you’re reading this, you’re traveling with kids in tow. I strongly recommend that you avoid the hassle of the checked baggage line and give your children their own carry-on luggage. Not only are the State bags just as sturdy and lighter than my own carry-on luggage, but they also have kid-friendly features like fun prints and a handy front pocket. State Bags is currently hosting a location-wide sale for 30 percent off with code BF24.

Aer’s carry-on is more expensive than some of our other offerings, but I particularly liked it for a few reasons. The polycarbonate surface doesn’t pick up dirt as easily as the Monos and doesn’t have grooves like the Beis. It also has special Hinamoto metal ball bearings for smoother rolling, as well as wheel locks so it doesn’t slip all over the place when you take it with you on a shuttle must. All Aer luggage is 25 percent off until Cyber ​​Monday.

The wheels on this tiny carry-on suitcase are removable so you can easily slide it under your seat as a personal item (although I should note that I flew with it on Alaska Airlines and it fit without having to take the wheels off). . However, they are loud and rattles when walking. If that doesn’t make you grind your teeth, this little suitcase is impressively functional for its price.

Reviewer Martin Cizmar loves this travel backpack. Not only can it make the most of the carry-on space available to you on the plane, it is also a hiking-friendly backpack that is comfortable enough to carry on 10-20 mile hikes. The straps are fully adjustable; The pockets are well thought out and everything from the webbing to the padded hip belt is there. I also appreciate that instead of plain black there is also a very bright and attractive yellow.

Away not only makes our favorite carry-on suitcase, but also our favorite toiletry bag. Reviewer Kat Merck notes that it’s elegant, well-made, unisex, and holds an impressive amount of items despite its reasonable countertop footprint. While we’re here, you might also want to consider Wandrd’s Toiletry Bag, which you can find on Amazon and is also on sale. Julian Chokkattu points out that it is made of Robic nylon with a thermoplastic urethane coating and is weatherproof (not submersible) thanks to the zippers and coating.

Reviewer Nena Farrell also likes Calpak’s travel bag as a weekend backpack or as a personal item to carry on top of your rolling suitcase. It’s also big enough to double as a hospital bag if you suddenly need emergency surgery (yes, unfortunately it tested that) and can also be used as a gym bag.

Not only are the Ray-Ban Meta glasses the best face computer, I also argue that they are essential when traveling. I absolutely love these things (maybe because I’ve been wearing Ray-Ban Wayfarers for almost two decades). You can listen to podcasts during your run! You can take photos and videos to text your spouse! You can check if the food truck is open! And all without taking out your phone. As a bonus, she Also Shade your eyes.

With crowded airports and long-haul flights, it’s time to upgrade your noise-cancelling headphones. No, you don’t need a pair of AirPods Max! Bose remains our top choice for quality noise cancellation (9/10, WIRED recommends) and has a battery life of up to 18 hours in Immersive Audio mode (or 24 hours without), which is long enough to survive even the most brutal trip . The earbuds are also on sale on Black Friday.

If you own Apple products like an iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch, you need a 3-in-1 portable charger. We love pretty much everything from Anker’s MagGo range, and this one delivers up to 15 watts to an iPhone or Qi2-certified device via an adjustable magnetic pad, so you can doom scrolling while You calculate. Behind it there is a second pad for Airpods (or other wireless earbuds) and a fold-out Apple Watch charger. Anker even includes a 1.5-meter USB-C cable and a wall adapter, all with a two-year warranty.

Reviewer Boutayna Chokrane notes that the Theragun Mini 2 is exactly what a tired traveler needs to ease lower back pain after a long day in the middle seat. It’s compatible with the Therabody app and even comes in the Getaway Collection’s limited-edition colors – Polar Blue, Alpine Green and Twilight Pink.
