Away The Carry-On Review
Traveling in 2025 calls for a carry-on that doesn’t just tag along but makes the trip better. Meet Away’s The Carry-On, a suitcase that will fit in most overhead bins, even aboard regional jets.



Away’s The Carry-On is made for today’s traveler, thanks to its hard-shell exterior, built from lightweight, tough polycarbonate. At 21.7″ x 14.4″ x 9″ (wheels included), it slides into any plane’s overhead bin, perfect for quick getaways. Weighing just 7.5 pounds with a 39.8-liter capacity, it’s light enough to carry but roomy enough to pack your life. “Our design-first vibe and clever features shook up a sleepy industry,” says Away co-founder Jen Rubio.

Packing is where this suitcase really struts its stuff. Inside, you get a slick compression system with wide straps and a bunch of pockets, including two compression pad pockets and a zippered flap pocket. A drawstring laundry bag, crafted from 100% recycled polyester, keeps your dirty socks from mingling with clean tees. Team it with Away’s Insider Packing Cubes, and you’ve got a setup that turns a messy suitcase into a tidy masterpiece. It’s designed for smart packing—clothes on one side, chunkier stuff like shoes or toiletries on the other—so you can grab what you need without dumping everything out. “Our signature compression system keeps you crazy organized,” Away says.

Tech lovers will geek out over the Carry-On’s gadget-friendly design. The structured interior has padded spots to cradle laptops, tablets, or even portable monitors, while the compression system tucks away cables and accessories neatly. A dedicated pocket for power banks provides easy access during airport layovers.

Moving this thing is a dream. The Carry-On’s got premium 360° spinner wheels that zip through airport terminals or glide over cobblestone streets, nailing sharp turns like a pro. A top handle and an underside grab handle make lifting it easy. “That underside handle makes lifting our light suitcases a breeze—you’ll love it at baggage claim,” Away teases, and they’re spot-on.
