One of the worst parts of traveling is trying to fit everything into whatever bag you can find in your closet. (I've definitely sat on a few suitcases, hunched over and out of breath from the struggle of zipping them shut.)

While vacuum-sealed bags will help you save some space, if you don't have the right luggage to begin with, you'll still end up with a mess of wrinkled clothes and a bag that's barely holding it together. If any of this sounds familiar, it may be time to invest in some new luggage before your next trip.

To help you out, we've rounded up some of the best luggage deals to shop this week. From lightweight carry-ons to expandable checked bags (for all those shoes and accessories you need, you know, just in case) to rolling duffles, here are our top picks:

Why we like it

Samsonite is a big name in the luggage game; the company's been around for ages and is known for durable and high-quality products.

So, if you're looking for a carry-on that's just as good as a checked bag (but isn't as bulky or cumbersome), we recommend the Samsonite Outline Pro 21-inch Hardside Carry-On Spinner. This little bag weighs 6.9 pounds empty, expands one additional inch for extra storage, and has a built-in TSA-approved lock for added security. There's also a USB charging port to charge your phone or tablet while on the go.

It's available in multiple colors, including ultra pink, emerald green, midnight black, and shiraz/burgundy. With eight spinner wheels and eight height adjustment settings, you can easily wheel this baby right through the airport, no matter how crowded it is.

Plus, the hard shell makes it easy to clean and adds a little more protection than a soft-sided bag.

Why we like it

If you need a little more space (because, same), the SwissGear Sion Softside Expandable Roller is a solid option. This 29-inch bag has more than 17,000 ratings with a 4.5-star average rating on Amazon, which is pretty impressive for a bag under $200.

Frequently Asked Questions


Spring break, previously known as Easter vacation or Easter holiday, typically falls in March or April, depending on the university or school schedule. This year, Easter falls on March 31.


The term "best" is subjective, but some of the most popular suitcase brands known for their quality and durability include Samsonite, SwissGear, and Travelpro. Designer brands like TUMI and RIMOWA are also pretty popular but on the higher end of the price spectrum.
