The biggest shopping holiday of the year is underway today, November 24, and Away has launched its Cyber Week sale with 20% off the popular retailer’s carry-ons and full-sized luggage.

We’ve tested dozens of suitcase brands for our guide to the best luggage, and Away remains a strong editor pick.

Check out our Away luggage review for more on why love these bags.

Best Black Friday deals on Away luggage
Away The Carry-On
By far one of the most popular Away bags, The Carry-On has thoughtful design features like in-bag compression, TSA-approved locks, and a fold-away laundry bag. Last year, the brand only offered discounts on luggage sets, so this is an uncommon deal for those looking to purchase a singular Away bag.
Away The Bigger Carry-On
For those who want a little more packing space and take more cross-country flights than tiny jumper planes, the Bigger Carry-On is an excellent option. It still fits in the overhead of most major airlines and is ideal for longer trips where those extra outfits are a necessity. The deal also applies to Away’s limited-edition colorways, including its chrome duo-tone design.
Away The Medium Flex
This suitcase has a flex feature that expands to allow for an additional 1.75″ of space; a great option for a medium-sized checked bag that you can take on many different length trips. Like all of Away’s bags, it has thoughtful design features like TSA-approved combo locks and interior compression. We don’t often see major discounts on this bag, so the 20% off sale is a rare opportunity to buy it at under $350.
Away The Large Flex
The Large Flex is the biggest suitcase Away makes, with a capacity of 108 liters when fully expanded. It has all of the same features we love in Away bags, including interior organization, 360° spinner wheels, and more thoughtful details. If you’re looking for a large, flexible suitcase, Away’s Cyber Week deals bring the price down under $350 — a rare deal.
Away The Carry-On: Aluminium Edition
Aluminum luggage is extra durable and, let’s be honest, looks extra cool. Aluminum luggage is more expensive than traditional polycarbonate suitcases but will last you a lifetime. Away’s Cyber Week sale is a good time to invest, since the discount will knock $125 off the usual price.
Away Black Friday FAQs
What are the most popular Away luggage styles?
Away’s most popular luggage style is its popular Carry-On, known for its durability and thoughtful features like in-bag compression and laundry bag. The brand’s Packing Cubes are also quite popular, with one Insider reporter claiming that they’ve completely changed her packing routine for the better.
Should I get the Flex or regular Away suitcase?
We recommend the Flex for checked bags like the The Medium and The Large, since the expandable feature provides more packing space and still keeps the suitcases within the allowed dimensions for checked luggage. We recommend opting for the non-expandable versions of the brand’s carry-on bags, since the Flex feature can cause the bags to become too big for the overhead space.
Is Away or Monos better?
Both Away and Monos have certain perks, and truthfully, the “better” suitcase depends on your travel expectations. Monos is known for a more updated design and organizational structure — most notably the suitcases’ front pocket that perfectly fits a laptop. Meanwhile, Away is known for its consistency and thoughtful interior design. We’re also rounding up the best Black Friday Monos deals if you’re interested in comparison shopping.
Do Away bags still have a battery?
Away’s Carry-On and Bigger Carry-On bags used to have the option to add on an ejectable battery for charging items on the go. However, in late 2023, the brand redesigned the bags and no longer includes the feature. If you’re interested in a portable battery for travel, check out our guide to the best portable chargers and power banks.
