As a travel writer, I fly at least once a month and have learned the hard way that not all suitcases are created equal. I’ve pulled my suitcase from baggage claim on multiple occasions to find cracked wheels, dented corners, and busted TSA locks—luckily not all at once—and have since made it my mission to find the most durable luggage on the market.
I’ve tested dozens of suitcases from top luggage brands, including Away, Samsonite, Delsey Parisand more, analyzing them for their quality, capacity, performance, durability, and overall value. Here, I put my extensive research to good use, curating a list of the best luggage deals still available as Amazon Prime Big Deal Days enters its last day—which means this is your last chance to shop these low prices. Whether you’re shopping for a lightweight carry-on for your next European adventure or a duffel bag for your next weekend getaway, you’ll find the perfect companion for your travels on this list thanks to these impressive—but fleeting!—Amazon October Prime Day discounts.

Samsonite Freeform Expandable 2-piece Set
Amazon
We can’t recommend the Samsonite Freeform carry-on enough, so it’s no surprise that we’re equally excited about this two-piece matching set from the same Samsonite line, which includes the 21-inch carry-on and a 28-inch checked bag. The pair is a steal for the price—basically the cost of two carry-ons—so if you’re a maximalist packer or want to travel with a friend in style, this set is an excellent choice.
