I once believed that any suitcase would do—until I found myself retrieving my busted suitcase with a missing wheel from baggage claim. That medium checked bag that I’d gotten years beforehand was overdue for a replacement, but I mistakenly assumed I could squeeze in one last trip. I learned a valuable lesson that day in the Atlanta-Jackson Hartsfield airport: good luggage is worth the investment.

Ones like the Taygeer Travel Backpack (now 40 percent off) and the Matein 40L Carry-on Backpack can hold just as much as a small carry-on and even have a dedicated laptop sleeve. We also love that the Osprey Daylite Commuter Backpacka go-to backpack from a brand we loveis on sale for 25 percent off.

Samsonite UpLift 31-inch Lightweight Hardside Extra-large Checked
Amazon
Overpackers, to the front! We’ve found one of the lightest checked suitcases you can find on sale during Amazon Prime Day. This 31-inch Samsonite checked spinner impressively only weighs about 10 pounds and is ideal for long-stay trips. We tested the carry-on version of this suitcase and loved how the wheels glide effortlessly over different types of terrain.
Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Expandable Medium Checked Suitcase
Amazon
Softside suitcases offer more flexibility and incur less wear and tear than hardside suitcases, so if that’s your preference, we recommend this expandable checked suitcase from Travelpro. This lightweight 25-inch spinner maximizes your packing space and is the ideal checked bag for medium to long trips.
Best Duffel and Weekender Bag Deals
For trips where you don’t quite feel like lugging an entire suitcase (think: road trips and overnight jaunts), duffel bags and weekenders always come through. We’ve seen a few worth adding to your cart, like this ridiculously lightweight duffel from Bellroy that’s now 20 percent off. We also love Eddie Bauer’s Expedition 2.0 22L Wheeled Duffelwhich happens to be 70 percent off during Prime Day. We also spotted the stylish and compact Backscare Weekendswhich comes in a ton of dreamy colors and is the perfect weekender, in our opinion.
Etronik Weekender Bag With Shoe Compartment
Amazon
Whether you’re popping out for an overnight trip or in search of a convenient personal item, the Etronics weekends behind has you covered. It has multiple compartments to keep all of your belongings organized and easy to find. Plus, it has an attached trolley sleeve designed to slide over your luggage handle for easy transport. We love that it fits securely in both overhead bins and under airplane seats.
Eddie Bauer Expedition 2.0 22L Wheeled Duffel
Amazon
Wheeled duffel bags are a great alternative to suitcases because they offer open space to pack as you wish. We love this option from Eddie Bauer because of its rugged design and generous capacity. Its sturdy build makes it easy to roll over cobblestone streets and a breeze to hoist into overhead bins.
Best Luggage Set Deals
Amazon Prime Day presents a rare opportunity to get your hands on not just one suitcase, but a full luggage set at a deeply discounted price (think: multiple pieces for the price of one). Treat yourself to this stunning Caribbean blue three-piece set from Samsonite (now $40 off), or stick to something more sleek and understated like this all black two-piece set from Traveler’s Choice (a whopping 35 percent off).
Traveler’s Choice Pagosa Hardshell Expandable 2-piece Luggage Set
Amazon
Flight departure times may be unpredictable, but this reliable, scratch-resistant luggage set from Traveler’s Choice won’t be. Here, you get a 22-inch carry-on spinner for shorter trips and a 26-inch checked bag for longer excursions. Between the helpful compartments inside to keep you organized and the convenient USB port to keep your devices topped up, it’s a set you’ll want to take everywhere you go.
Amazon Basics 3-piece Hardside Luggage Set
Amazon
Travel + Leisure editors were highly impressed with this budget-friendly set from Amazon’s namesake brand. It comes with one carry-on and two checked suitcases (one medium, one large). All three pieces are highly durable and rival the performance of brands that are twice the price. We found the bags deceptively spacious as well, and they’re expandable.
There’s still time to take advantage of these luggage deals before Amazon Prime Day comes to a close. Make sure to check out the major Prime Day savings on travel accessories and other important essentials before the big sale is over.
