I Fly Monthly, and These Are the 15 October Prime Day Luggage Sales I'm Snagging Before They're Gone-From $16

"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 Paris, and 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."

The Away Softside Bigger Carry-on features water-repellent nylon, organizational pockets, and an editor-approved compression pad.
