This compact carry-on uses separate straps and pockets to keep you organized. (Travel Pro)
What we like: The built-in packing cube system eliminates the need to buy separate organizers, while the tapered design helps keep the bag stable and upright even when fully loaded.
What you should be aware of: There are only three neutral color options.
“This spinner it’s become my go-to because it expands up to two inches, and includes its own cube-packing system and full-length interior pocket. Once everything is tied and pressed, I can easily fit five days’ worth of clothes inside, which means I’ll probably never check a bag.” – Sage Anderson, Renewal Writer
Original price: $295

What we like: The wheels are whisper quiet and extremely lightweight.
What you should be aware of: This is not the most flexible option on the market.
“This has been my continuation more than five years now. I’ve checked out a few other options in other brands over the years, but I keep reaching for this one. It fits easily on the surface of every commercial flight I’ve taken and has a strong sided design that doesn’t scratch easily. I also use the front pocket to store and easily access my laptop and tablet.” – Moriba Cummings, Director of Commercial Content
This stylish luggage comes in beautiful colors. (Béis)
What we like: Smooth-glide wheels, cushioned handles and a spacious interior make this bag perfect for weekend trips.
What you should be aware of: A glossy exterior can show scuffs more easily than a hard shell finish.
“This is a continuation glides easily through airports and even NYC sidewalks. It comes with a laundry bag, pouches and multiple zipped compartments to help keep you organized. Not only is it adorable, but it stretches to fit inside (which I always need). My favorite part is the padded handle – a feature I didn’t know I was missing until I had it.” – Jaclyn Kaufman, Associate Production Editor
