27 Best Early Prime Day Luggage Deals in 2024

Amazon is packed with hardside luggage bearing clothing brand logos (no lie, you can get Wrangler luggage). But at this point, the affordable hardside category has become commoditized, and you’re mostly shopping for aesthetics. In which case, this standout green feels like a win.

If your vacations involve booking guides and rental cars with 4WD, get yourself a beefy piece of luggage that can handle adventure. Eddie Bauer’s rugged rolling duffel has plenty of useful features, like a laundry compartment with odor control, smooth skate wheels for rolling over unpaved ground, and Goldilockscompression straps for cinching down all your gear.

When you need a goldilocks bag—big enough to check, not so big it takes up half your closet—reach for this 25″ in-betweener. A step up from Samsonite, it’s an all-black bag that won’t show any scuffs or stains even after years of hard-knock travel life.

The famous travel brand’s Winfield line is an ideal 20-inch carryon. This spinner is small enough to fit in the overhead compartment, and the affordable price tag is like an unexpected upgrade when you’re least expecting it.

If you aren’t afraid to check a bag, but are afraid of overzealous baggage handlers, invest in the Helium Aero, a hardside bag with an extra-durable polycarbonate shell and an attractive metallic finish. This bag also gets bonus points for a locking handle that stays right where you want it to.

Travelpro’s “Crew” line has a simple pitch: These bags are stewardess approved. The latest entry in the lineup has durable but smooth-gliding wheels, handsome accents, and a smooth telescoping handle. It also has an extra inch on the average carry-on, and this is one arena where size matters.

Most Amazon budget brands aren’t worth your time, but if you need a starter bag for a teen or Gen Z member of the family, this adorable spinner has just the right balance of personality and affordability.

Last year, Prime Day brought discounts on the Thule Subterra line, but this year, the Chasm lineup get the biggest price drops. This bag has a water-resistant exterior and an internal mesh pocket for dirty clothes, making it a convenient carry-all carry-on. Plus, if you love the look of this olive green bag, you’ll find a matching backpack below.

Can you say ombre? With this unique finish, you don’t need to stick a silly little bow on your bag to recognize it on the carousel.

Don’t apologize for being an overpacker. Instead, get a bag that can fit all your outfits, your backup outfits, and the goodies you buy along the way. The unique polycarbonate shell gives this bag a distinct look, and it’s surprisingly lightweight for its hefty size.

If you aren’t picky about the hue of your bag, you can find some massive $200+ discounts on Tumi hardside suitcases right now. If your starter suitcase is ready for retirement, upgrade to a premium bag that will last for decades. Better yet, both checked and carry-on versions of this baggage are on sale.

We always try to include a Carhartt duffle in our guide to the best Prime Day luggage deals, and this year it had to be the new Heavy Haul bag. It looks like something from the Carhartt WIP line, and we love the 700D brown canvas nylon, excessive number of handles, and extra-large 75L capacity.

This import comes by way of Amazon Japan. If that’s not enough to sell you on this fiery sports bag, then maybe the spacious 70L capacity, waterproof tarpaulin fabric, wide-mouth opening, and compression straps will finish the sales job. Yes, you can wear it as a backpack, too.

Looking for an affordable duffle that will still get you approving nods from fellow clotheshorses? Rains (yes, they’re on Amazon now) has you covered with this no-nonsense, weather-resistant black duffle.

This straightforward duffle will work equally well as a gym bag or a weekender, though depending on how much your feet sweat, probably not both.

The Australian EDC brand makes a no-frills duffle that’s still handsome enough for you. Make this svelte over-the-shoulder bag your new overnight partner or weekender go-to.

Swedish brand Thule makes a mean runabout rucksack, with a bounty of protected pockets (including a molded case on the side for preserving your sunglasses) and a capacious 25-liter size that can stash a 15″ laptop by way of a quick access zip.

This durable sports backpack still has a compartment for your 15-inch MacBook. Though not quite as durable as the Thule cargo carrier on your car, it’s just as cool.

Made with the Danish outerwear brand’s signature polyester fabric, this travel bag has a clean, minimalist look with smart details like a rolltop closure, carabiner, and side-open laptop sleeve. Just don’t call it a backpack. (It’s a rucksack—get it right.)

Tumi’s leather backpack will be the ideal carry-on companion with a discrete luggage pass-through and enough room for your laptop or tablet.

Sometimes, the first backpack you owned is still the right choice 20 years later. Only now this classic Jansport comes with a 15-inch laptop sleeve.

A business class-worthy travel bag that’s wide enough to pop in a laptop, all your in-flight reads, and more.

Is it a duffle? Is it a tote? Keep them guessing with this easy-carry travel bag, which makes it easy to separate dirty and clean clothes into different compartments.

At this point, everyone should have converted to the tao of packing cubes—and this mega-set delivers enough packing cubes for the entire family.

Apple’s AirTags basically crowdsource tracking by anonymously using nearby iPhones to feed you the location of your items. Next time you walk through an airport, take note of how many iPhones you see, and rest easy knowing that none of your bags are going to slip off the grid (even if they don’t make the connecting flight).

Are you going to buy the overpriced headphones your flight attendent is hawking down the aisle? Hell no, you’ve got your dignity. So, plan ahead with this game-changer of a gadget, which lets you tune into the in-flight entertainment with your very own wireless earbuds or headphones. This Bluetooth transmitter keeps you connected and wirefree.

When you’re checking a bag but still need to bring a laptop on the plane (ugh), this ultra-affordable, ultra-sleek laptop bag keeps you nimble and quick.
