Away’s Black Friday Sale Is a Rare Chance to Save on Cult-Favorite Luggage
2024 travel plans, here we come.
Here at ELLE, our editors have been searching the internet for all of the best Black Friday deals so far, uncovering saves on everything from Everlane staples to infrared sauna blankets. For frequent fliers, this might be our most exciting find yet: Away—the direct-to-consumer darling luggage brand—is taking 20 percent off all suitcases. Simply put, this Away Black Friday sale is the brand’s biggest sale ever.
Thanks to its near-perfect marriage of form and function, Away has become the luggage of choice for many on our staff who travel often. Away suitcases have a stylish, minimal design that looks sophisticated at the airport, but more importantly, gives you peace of mind that your wardrobe will arrive exactly as you packed it.

Away suitcases have a durable polycarbonate outer shell (in great color options) and interior compression straps. Plus, they include strong zippers and sturdy spinner wheels that can handle rolling through rough city streets—two features that won me over. Recently, Away also tweaked a few design elements to address customer feedback, reinforcing the trolley handle and adding a new bottom handle between the spinner wheels. (This makes it easier to lift your suitcase off the baggage claim carousel.)
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading to an Away suitcase or gifting one to a lucky recipient, now is the time to buy. Travel aficionados will know that Away rarely has sales, thanks to its quality construction and fair prices. (For comparison, last year’s Away Black Friday sale marked down travel tote bags, backpacks, and accessories—but not suitcases.) The Away Black Friday sale started early, on November 16, and runs through Cyber Monday, November 27, or until it’s sold out.
Presenting the bag that put Away on the map. The original Away Carry-On features two interior compartments, compression straps, a TSA combination lock, and a built-in dirty clothes bag. This one is guaranteed to fit in all overhead bins.
The Bigger Carry-On is Away’s most popular suitcase and was even the top-searched luggage on Google in 2023. It will fit a couple of outfits more than the original Carry-On and fits in most overhead bins. (I own this suitcase and have had to gate-check only a handful of times.)
For the over-packers among us, Away also offers expandable luggage with a wraparound zipper that releases even more space. Both the carry-on and checked bags are available in the expandable option, which comes in handy on trips when you return home with more than you brought.
When Away marked down all suitcases, we were curious as to whether it would include the aluminum line. Good news: It does. If you’ve been dreaming of rolling around a shiny aluminum suitcase that only gets better with age, now’s your chance.
Away luggage was initially deigned in modern colors that made it easy to spot at baggage claim. Now that the suitcases are so popular, consider opting for one of the brand’s limited-edition collections, like this gorgeous two-toned gloss (which really shines in person), to stand out from the crowd.
There’s no way around it: Some trips call for a checked bag. If you’re dreaming up your 2024 travel schedule, opt for the Large checked bag, which Away claims holds over two weeks’ worth of clothes.
