Beis The Weekender
5-star average rating from 12,407 reviews on Beis
I’ve owned The Weekender for years, and it’s still my go-to luggage for flying, driving and everything in between. I love storing my toiletries and/or shoes in the removable bottom compartment and appreciate the space in the main compartment for my laptop, clothes and more. Plus, the trolley pass-through on the back makes navigating airports with a carry-on easier.
Yeti Rambler Stackable Pint
4.7-star average rating from 3,329 reviews at Yeti
This 16-ounce reusable tumbler is vacuum insulated to keep drinks hot or chilled for hours, as well as dishwasher-safe, according to Yeti. The pint-sized vessels are also stackable when you remove the included lid, so they’re great to take multiple on the go and easy to store at home.
Calpak Evry Starter Bundle
5-star average rating from 201 reviews on Calpak
We’re big fans of Calpak luggage sets, and this one comes with a carry-on, a large check-in suitcase, a five-piece packing cube set and a luggage tag. Both luggage pieces have TSA-approved locks and 360-degree spinner wheels for easier travel, according to the brand.
Away The Carry On
4.7-star average rating from 4,917 reviews on Away
We consider this the best carry-on luggage, thanks partly to its 360-degree spinner wheels and TSA-approved combination lock that make navigating the airport easier. There are also multiple easy-grip handles, a durable hard shell and a laundry bag for stowing away dirty clothes, says Away.
Ben Sherman Nottingham Lightweight Hardside Set
4.4-star average rating from 2,613 ratings on Amazon
This three-piece set includes rolling suitcases in multiple sizes with a stylish textured exterior. Each one is also equipped with corner guards and tear-resistant interiors to extend use, according to the brand.
Kenneth Cole Reaction Chelsea Two-Piece Bundle
4.4-star average rating from 2,712 ratings on Amazon
This bundle includes a wheeled carry-on suitcase and matching backpack with built-in laptop storage. For those who want to travel in style, the quilted chevron exterior will turn heads while shielding your essentials from the elements, says the brand.
American Tourister Moonlight Hardside Carry-On
4.5-star average rating from 11,675 ratings on Amazon
Available in several fun patterns and colors, this 21-inch carry-on allows for 1.5-inch expansion when needed and meets most size restrictions for domestic travelers, according to the brand. The carry-on is also rigorously tested to meet stringent standards and comes with a 10-year limited warranty, says American Tourister.
Delsey Paris Sky Max 2.0 Softside Expandable Luggage Set
4.3-star average rating from 270 ratings on Amazon
The lightweight polyester fabric on this two-piece set is stylish yet strong enough to stand up to the rigors of travel, according to the brand. The 24-inch suitcase expands up to two inches for additional space and comes with a TSA-approved combination lock, according to Delsey Paris.
Tumi 19 Degrees International Expandable 22-Inch Spinner Carry-On Bag
4.5-star average rating from 43 reviews on Amazon
Tumi’s carry-on comes with a proprietary closure system that reduces the risk of zipper damage and is designed to break away from the suitcase if it gets caught so that the pull, instead of the entire zipper, can be easily replaced, according to the brand. There’s also a built-in USB port on the exterior to charge devices on the go, says Tumi.
Herschel Supply Co. Novel Duffle Eco
This eco-friendly duffle bag is made entirely with recycled fabric and materials, according to Herschel Supply Co. The bag also has a cleverly placed shoe compartment, supportive handles and a removable shoulder strap, says the brand.
Wild One Everyday Carrier
4.3-star average rating from 90 reviews at Wild One
If you’re traveling with a canine companion, Shari Uyehara, NBC Select manager of editorial operations, loves the stability of this NBC Select Pet Award winner. “I love that [my dog] Loki’s weight remains balanced in the carrier, but he still has room to move around,” she says. According to the brand, it also comes with a machine-washable quilted mat and multiple pockets for small essentials.
Paravel Fold-Up Bag
5-star average rating from 154 reviews on Paravel
If you need a spacious bag that is easy to store, this one is foldable and made of ultra-lightweight, water-resistant nylon, according to the brand. It also has a trolley sleeve and barely-there pouch that the bag can be stored into, says Paravel.
Waterfly Crossbody Sling Backpack
4.5-star average rating from 37,094 ratings on Amazon
In our guide to the best Amazon travel accessories, Susan Henkel, founder of Ola Travel & Tours, says she prefers a sling bag because it allows her to be nimble instead of weighed down. She recommends this crossbody for its adjustable shoulder strap, multi-pocket storage and abundance of color options.
Travelwise Luggage Packing Cubes
4.7-star average rating from 10,140 ratings on Amazon
Included in this set are one small, two medium and two large packing cubes, all made with lightweight and durable nylon to resist wear and tear while in transit, according to the brand. The tops of each one are also made with a breathable mesh design, so you can more easily locate your essentials when they’re packed away, says Travelwise.
Loop Quiet Ear Plugs
4.1-star average rating from 71,904 reviews on Amazon
These durable earplugs, a Select Wellness Award winner, are as versatile as they are stylish, with a round shape that sits comfortably in the ear to help you focus while studying, to get better sleep or to block out surrounding noise while traveling. They also come with four sizes of silicone ear tips (x-small to large) and a carry case.
WWDoll KN95 Masks
4.5-star average rating from 72,945 ratings on Amazon
This pack is included in our guide to the best KN95 masks because it’s on the FDA’s EAU (emergency use authorization) list, has multiple layers and blocks more than 95% particles, according to the brand. It also has ear loops and an adjustable nose bridge for a more comfortable fit, says WWDoll.
