For most of my adult life, I’ve traveled with an Away Bigger Carry-On. I first purchased a dusty blue version back in 2016, the same year the brand—and its then-revolutionary built-in charger—launched. Since then, I’ve swapped it for a more neutral tan color. And though I’ve tested out many a carry-on in between as part of this job, I always come back to my Away.
I’m an overpacker, and it fits the most out of any carry-on suitcase I’ve tried. I like the even clamshell split of the bag; I use one side for clothing, the other for shoes and toiletry bags. Hats, thin purses, and any other small accessories tend to go in the divider pocket in the middle. Whenever friends or family ask me for a luggage recommendation, I tell them you can’t go wrong with the Away Bigger Carry-On—I’ve never had an issue with it breaking, and any major scuffs can be scrubbed away with a Magic Eraser.
So, all that to say, if you’re in need of a new carry-on, you’ll be happy to know this one is on sale for the fall 2026 Amazon Prime Day, also known as the Prime Big Deal Days. Two colorways are 25% off—Palm Green and Sky Blue—bringing the price down to $221 from $295.

The Bigger Carry-On
Beyond the holy grail Bigger Carry-On, several other popular Away pieces are discounted for Prime Day. The biggest savings to be had come from checked pieces—save $152 on the Large hard-shell checked suitcase if you purchase it in Palm Green; $119 on the Large Active rolling duffel if purchased in Jet Black or Navy Blue; or $109 on the Hardside Trunk luggage in Sky Blue. If you’re in the market for a carry-on, the standard hard-shell carry-on is 25% off (a savings of $122) in Palm Green and Sky Blue.
Tons of small accessories are on sale too this week—the Packable Sling Bag and Sleep Mask are both 40% off, and the Toiletry Bag is 30% off—all of which would make great stocking stuffers.
