Here are the top October Prime Day luggage deals on sturdy suitcases. Get up to half off editor-approved carry-ons, checked bags, and travel sets.
The holidays will be here before we know it, and your suitcase had better be up for the challenge. If after a summer of roadtripping your suitcase is looking worse for wear, I found the best Prime Day luggage deals worth having on your radar.
Last week, Away announced a redesign of its core collection — meaning it's clearing out all the old Away models for up to 30% off. July also has select suitcases for 25% off. I've curated more Prime Day luggage deals by comparing prices from brand's websites (like Samsonite and Travelpro) to the prices at their official Amazon storefronts.
Read on to see the best luggage we've tested at the lowest prices of the year. For more rare discounts, check out our guide to the best Prime Day deals with markdowns across every category.
| Suitcase | Prime Day deal | Why it's good for travel |
| July Carry-On Essential | Fits 5 days' worth of outfits and has cobblestone-proof wheels (full review) | |
| Away The Carry-On | Compact enough to carry onto smaller international airlines (full review) | |
| Travelpro Platinum Elite Softside Expandable Carry-On | Elite extras, self-aligning wheels, lifetime warranty (full review) | |

The best Amazon Prime Day carry-on luggage deals
The best Prime Day carry-on deals include lightweight models with exterior laptop sleeves, dividers for charging cables, and zippered mesh pockets for easy visibility. After testing dozens, the expandable softside Travelpro Platinum Elite (on sale for nearly $105 off) is our top choice. If you'd like a more pared-down version, the Travelpro Crew Classic is a worthy alternative which costs $98 less than the Platinum Elite.

The best Amazon Prime Day luggage set deals
A luggage set could be a better value than buying individual suitcases. Sometimes you need different sizes for short and long trips, or you're traveling with the whole family. Prime Day bundles select carry-ons and checked bags together, costing you less in the long run.

The best Amazon Prime Day checked luggage deals
These deals are for the heavy packers (myself included). I recommend shopping Travelpro's Maxlite Air V2 series while the entire collection is on sale — I tested the Medium Check-In by hauling it up and down stairs while full, and it's remarkably lightweight for a hardshell this size.
I've also found deals on softside checked bags with an impressive capacity for bulky shoes, jackets, and other gear needed for cold-weather travel season.

FAQs on Prime Day luggage deals
What's the best carry-on to buy on Prime Day?
We put dozens of carry-ons to the test by assessing each bag's packability, maneuverability, and durability. We also consider style, price, material quality, and any nice-to-have features that make them stand out.
Ultimately, the Travelpro Platinum Elite (now $105 off) beat out all other carry-ons. Every last design detail made our packing experience easier, and the sturdy exterior has lasted us for years.
Is Prime Day a good time to buy luggage?
Definitely. We're fast approaching holiday travel season, which means that many of us are in need of a new carry-on or checked luggage. Plus, during this 2-day period, you can find plenty of luggage sales outside of Amazon. This is the most inventory you'll see on sale until Black Friday.
How do I know I'm getting a good deal on a suitcase?
For this guide, I've gone through the price history over our years of covering the best Prime Day luggage deals and used the tracking tool CamelCamelCamel. This way I can see where Amazon has jacked up the listing prices to give the illusion of a bigger discount, thereby nixing any inflated deals.
What are the best luggage brands on sale?
Some of our favorite luggage brands offer deep discounts on suitcases for Prime Day. Samsonite has slashed prices this Prime Day, with some bundles at over 50% off. Away now has carry-on and checked bags marked down 20%, and there are tons of other deals going live all the time.
Do Prime Day luggage deals include their manufacturer warranty?
Yes. As long as you purchase your suitcase directly from its authorized Amazon storefront, then major names like Samsonite, Travelpro, and Delsey Paris will honor their warranties. Double-check you're not buying from an unauthorized third-party reseller so that your warranty remains valid.
What size carry-on should I buy?
Most domestic airlines have a maximum carry-on size requirement of 22 inches long, 14 inches wide, and nine inches tall.
What size bag will fit under an airplane seat?
This answer vary by airline carrier. I recommend choosing an underseat bag that is no larger than 18 x 14 x 8 inches ( or 45 x 35 x 20 centimeters) when fully packed.
