This compact powerhouse of a spinner bag fits under most airline seats, so you can easily access your stuff in route — and not have to stress over the availability of overhead bin space. It has four multi-directional spinner wheels for 360-degree rolling, and an ergonomic push-button locking handle. The main compartment has a padded laptop sleeve with elastic band for security, and stash exterior pockets add to the organization potential. A USB port allows you to charge on the go.

REVIEW: "I bought this suitcase so that I could take trips with my young child without checking baggage or having to lift anything into the overhead bins… It was easy to maneuver through the airports, and I didn't have to worry about injuring my back or being too weighed down to keep up with my kid."

This rolling bag is an ideal fit for someone who prefers a soft-sided duffel; it takes the weight out of your arms and shoulders and has a retractable telescoping handle for hand carrying. This bag has a large 77-liter capacity with a roomy main compartment as well as six pockets for organization and convenience.

REVIEW: "The wheels rolled well. The bag was sturdy. I am very pleased."

This 21-inch rolling suitcase is an ideal carry-on size with 360-degree multi-directional spinner wheels and a locking retractable handle for easy maneuverability. It has pockets for organization (and easy access) as well as a built-in ID tag. This bag has a fully lined interior, as well as adjustable tie-down straps to keep everything secure inside, plus a removable zippered wet bag, large mesh lid pocket, and packing pocket for small accessories. And it's expandable, so you have the cargo space you need — even after you score those souvenirs.

REVIEW: "Look no further, this is the perfect carry on bag."

This carry-on weekender bag has a ton of features as well as a chic look at a budget price. A padded compartment holds a laptop up to 15.6 inches, and a flat waterproof separated compartment holds shoes, or anything else you want to keep separate. Made of durable nylon and faux leather, this bag has metal studs on the bottom and solid copper hardware for ruggedness as well as a polished look. The back side has a zipper pocket as well as a trolley sleeve to slide over your rolling suitcase.

REVIEW: "I purchased this bag for a trip to islands. It fit great on my carry-on suitcase… Outside sleeve pouch was great for easy passport and phone access. The bag looks good too."

This practical carry-on is an all-purpose go-to at a budget price point. It has a fully lined interior with a pocket for accessories, and it expands for extra cargo space when you need it. A push-button recessed locking handle system makes for easy maneuverability, and double spinner wheels move 360 degrees upright. Choose from 13 colors to suit your style (and stand out on the baggage claim carousel).

REVIEW: "These are a great value for the price."

This backpack opens all the way, like a suitcase, for a highly practical carry-on solution. It's made from durable waterproof polyester, with two padded shoulder straps for lightweight carrying. In addition to the spacious main compartment, there's a laptop compartment, a wet bag, and a separate shoe compartment. Plus, this pack has a built-in USB charging port.

REVIEW: "There is a ridiculous amount of space in this bag. Not only that but there are plenty of pockets to keep things separated and it is padded in the right areas to protect electronics."

This three-piece set includes all the spinners you’ll need for a complete luggage wardrobe: 20-inch, 24-inch, and 28-inch uprights. This set is available in 18 colors, including an array of brights that will make baggage claim retrieval easy. All pieces have multidirectional spinner wheels, and ergonomic aluminum telescoping handles.

REVIEW: "Durable, very lightweight, distinctive colors… sized very well for airline travel."

This 30-inch hardside spinner luggage has a large capacity and major versatility as a checked luggage piece. The case has an extra-thick ABS hard shell for protection, and a scratch-resistant finish. Four double spinner wheels allow smooth rolling in any direction, and a telescoping handle is easy to maneuver. The fully lined interior organizer includes a divider, plus three zippered pockets for organizing. And it's expandable for 15 percent more packing space.

REVIEW: "This piece looks great. Easy to find off the plane and holds quite a bit. Love the fact of the zippered compartment where I could keep all my shoes away from the clothes. Fits everything I needed for a seven-day cruise."

✔️ Size and weight: Size considerations aren't just important when it comes to cargo capacity, but also for fitting within airline requirements, or into small cars, for example. And weight matters both for comfort and convenience of carrying, as well as for airlines weight limits.

"While I care about size as far as if the bag will fit into size and weight limits for carrying luggage onboard a plane, I also want to know how heavy that bag will be for me, both packed, and empty, for me to be lugging up and down steps, in and out of car trucks, over my head into overhead space, and so forth," says Aly Walansky, a travel and food journalist, who packs for about a dozen trips a year. "You'll notice very fast that bags can differ very widely in how heavy they are, even when completely empty. I'm going to go for a bag that starts out as lightweight and easy to manage as possible."

✔️ Features and pockets: Consider your usage when choosing features in luggage — for instance a tech compartment for a laptop, external pockets for easy access, or zippered compartments for security as well as organization. "I care a lot about inner pockets and compartments," Walansky says. "It makes staying organized and neat — and being able to find things when traveling — so much more seamless."

✔️ Style: Of course, consider your own travel style and aesthetic preferences in your pick. Picking a standout color or style can also help make the bag more easily identifiable at baggage claim. "I want luggage that is pretty and will stand out. No one wants a bag that looks like everyone else's in the overhead or carousel," Walansky says. "So, I'll mostly lean toward those jewel tones or bright, bold colors. My current bag is a metallic rose gold, for example."
