The best Prime Day luggage deals on checked suitcases and carry-ons

Summer travel season calls for durable suitcases that can withstand life on the road. Luckily, the best Prime Day luggage deals are rolling in at the perfect time.

I've personally tested some of the top luggage brands by chucking them across pavement repeatedly to see which ones can survive the tarmac. Brands we trust, like Samsonite, Away, and Travelpro, have official Amazon storefronts with top-performing suitcases on sale up.

In fact, our favorite softshell carry-on is Travelpro's Platinum Elite, and it's now $152 cheaper than its usual price. If you prefer hardshell, there's a lightweight carry-on bag from Away on sale for $157 (30% off), as well as a large Samsonite checked bag for $60 off.

And for all of our favorite bargains, check out our roundup of the best Prime Day deals.

FAQs on Prime Day luggage deals

Is Prime Day a good time to buy luggage?

Definitely. We're still early in the summer travel season, so now's the perfect opportunity to save on a new carry-on or checked luggage. Plus, during this 4-day period, you can find plenty of luggage sales outside of Amazon.

As someone who travels at least once a month, I think the scarcity of all-black luggage deals this Prime Day is actually a good thing. I prefer when I can clearly see my bright teal hardshell coming around the baggage carousel, so don't be discouraged if you're noticing limited color variety.

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 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.
