The holiday season is officially here, and Away’s Black Friday sale—the beloved suitcase brand’s biggest sale of the year—is a must-see for jetsetters seeking new travel gear. The company’s Cyber Week promotion, which started on November 17 and runs until December 1, gives shoppers 25% off everything (with a few exceptions, like recent holiday drops), plus an extra 10% off when you spend $750 or more on their site.
That means it’s the best time of year to splurge on those major travel purchases, like the brand’s best-selling Bigger Carry-On and The Medium Flex suitcases, or place a bulk order on some practical stocking stuffers, whether that’s a sleek luggage tag or a compact travel wallet. There are countless fan-favorite travel essentials to choose from, so to help you cut through the Black Friday noise, we’ve selected our favorite Away products to shop before Cyber Week comes to a close. Scroll down for the best expandable suitcases, perfectly compartmentalized weekender bags, and every packing cube in between.

Some classics never die. Away first came onto the suitcase scene in 2015 with a hard-shell carry-on, and a year later, maximized its space to create the award-winning Bigger Carry-On, sized to fit in the overhead bin of most major US airlines. Available in a range of colors from Olive Green to Cherry Red, this is what to get for your loved one who absolutely insists on not checking a bag.
Somewhere, somehow, we collectively decided soft-sided luggage was cool again. Away’s Softside collection, which launched last year, proves you can have a little flexibility without sacrificing on looks (the same can be said for flared leggings over jeans at the airport). The Softside Large is an excellent option for that two-week getaway in the new year.
The Softside Bigger Carry-On
Shannon McMahon, senior editor of destinations, is a fan of this suitcase’s ability to swivel and roll smoothly when packed full, crediting the effective stabilization technology that works so well, not even a laptop in the front pocket can take it down.

The Bigger Carry-On Flex
The Bigger Carry-On Flex adds an extra 2.25 inches of expansion to the Bigger Carry-On. “As an overpacker, I’m constantly surprised I can slip ‘just one more’ thing in, while the zipper holds tight and the shell shows no signs of bulging,” says freelance writer Rachel Chang.
Away
The Aluminum Edge Large
The Aluminum Edge Large offers the durability of an aluminum suitcase without the dents, featuring a shiny frame that’s as decorative as it is functional. The shell on this one has a pebbled finish, so it looks like leather, while the inside boasts Away’s signature compression system.
Bundles
For a total value of $493, the Best-Selling Bundle comes with The Bigger Carry-On and The Everywhere Bag—just what you need for that upcoming solo vacation. Plus, the two go hand-in-hand: The Everywhere Bag secures to the handle of The Bigger Carry-On via a trolley sleeve.

Weekenders

Featherlight Weekender
For those weekend trips requiring a simple outfit change or two, you can’t go wrong with Away’s Featherlight Weekender. With its barely-there, ultralight functionality, the Featherlight collection has your back (literally) with some seriously smart organization, like a bottom compartment to keep your extra pair of shoes separated. The bag is also available in a neutral Amaro Brown and an adorable Blush Pink.
Backpacks
Away
The Commuter Backpack
There are backpacks, and then there are backpacks designed for travelers. The Commuter Backpack has what you need for trekking to and from the airport or the office: a 16-inch laptop sleeve, an interior organization system, two water bottle pockets, and four exterior pockets for easy access. It comes in attractive colors, too, like Coast Blue and Cloud Gray.
Bags
For gig-tripping friends who intend on frequenting sporting events and festivals in the new year, the Stadium Bag will make security a breeze. It’s small enough to fit most major stadium bag regulations—with enough room for essentials like a phone, camera, and wallet—and comes with a removable crossbody strap.
Away might specialize in luggage, but it also innovates when it comes to the bags we carry on a daily basis. Case in point: the Everywhere Tote, made with a zip top, water-resistant nylon, and enough space to carry a 16-inch laptop. When you’re ready to take it on vacation, simply thread your suitcase handle through the back sleeve for a seamless ride—no shoulder pain necessary.
Away
Large Featherlight Crossbody
The Featherlight Crossbody is great, but the Large Featherlight Crossbody means serious business. It miraculously contains a 16-inch laptop sleeve, an extra inner zip pocket, space for a water bottle, and—our favorite part—a hidden pocket in the strap for small items like lip balm or an AirPods case. Plus, it’s machine-washable and packs down easily, so you don’t have to be super precious about it on your adventures.

Away
Compression Packing Cubes
If you’re a frequent traveler (and overpacker), it’s likely you’ve found yourself in a sitting-on-suitcase situation. The Compression Packing Cubes are bound to turn any packing cube critic into a devotee. These flatten when you have the space at the beginning of the trip, then unzip to make room on the return journey.
Perfect for a parent or eldest daughter—a.k.a. anyone who carries familial responsibility—this slim travel wallet can fit not one but four passports, so the whole gang can stay organized. It also has five slots for IDs and credit cards, plus interior and exterior slip pockets for easy-to-reach boarding passes.
Away
Featherlight Tech Set
Arguably one of the worst travel tribulations? Fishing for tangled wires from the bottom of your carry-on. The Featherlight Tech Set will ensure your laptop and its many accessories stay protected and organized. The padded fabric—which comes in Jet Black and Glacial Pink— is machine-washable, too, so you can keep it fresh as new.
