Then we have good news: Away launched a new line of hard-sided suitcases that are more useful than ever before.

Why we love Away polycarbonate flex suitcases

Away These new, flexible Away polycarbonate flex suitcases are a travel lover’s dream thanks to sturdy, expandable construction, on-trend colors, and features that seem far more expensive than they really are. The lineup includes a Standard Carry-On Flex, Bigger Carry-On Flex, Medium Flex, and Large Flex— and they’re all easily mixed and matched if you want a full set.

Away has a cult following for a reason. Their suitcases have bells and whistles you usually have to shell out major cash for. The entire lineup of Away polycarbonate flex suitcases boasts 360-degree spinner wheels for effortless transport through the airport and out on the road. All the flex luggage options feature a durable polycarbonate hard shell, zipper expansion of up to an additional 2.25 inches (good news for heavy packers), a TSA-approved combination lock for extra safety, and underside grab handles that are easy to grab from overhead storage.

The suitcases have interior organization pockets and here’s a secret—they all come with hidden laundry bags for your soiled clothes and a removable, washable lining to keep the bag clean. That means you’ll be able to have a new-looking suitcase for years to come.

The Away hard-shelled suitcases come in multiple on-trend neutral colors. All four flex pieces come in standard black and navy options, but some of the pieces also offer a soft pink tone as well as a deep teal.

If you’re heading on a longer trip or just have more outfits and essentials to tote along on your Labor Day getaway, the Large Flex is the one for you.

The best Away polycarbonate flex suitcase reviews

“I thought luggage was luggage – fill, zip and go.” writes verified purchaser Jason C. “However after three weeks of traveling with the Carry-On Flex I now appreciate how light, durable and easy to roll it is. I also like the inside is mostly unobstructed and is all usable space, and the shell seems durable (some minor scratches but no damage). I took it on five flights, three trains and two miles of walking over cobblestones and it’s as solid as when I started.”

Verified purchaser Erik P. writes, “I tend to travel to multiple climates each trip and desperately needed a new large expandable suitcase to match the rest of my Away luggage. Absolutely love the Large Flex! Fully packed it is 50lbs exactly. Easy to throw in a last-minute jacket or gift by unzipping and expanding!”
