Travel simply wouldn’t be possible without a solid piece of luggage that’s capable of storing essentials comfortably and effectively. We have a lot to ask of our bags, including compliance with TSA regulations, easy maneuverability and enough compartments to keep everything perfectly in order.
Amazon features a wealth of luggage options in every conceivable style and size. The site even has a luggage guide that can help you determine which of their carry-on bags are compatible with particular airlines.

Of course, Amazon’s massive selection can be sometimes overwhelming, so we did the grunt work and pulled some of the highest rated luggage from among these digital ranks.
If you want to see which travel duffels, carry-ons and full-sized suitcases made the cut, keep reading to the list below.

A Delsey checked bag with brakes
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars
Twenty-four inches tall, this medium-sized checked suitcase with TSA locks by Delsey has a two-compartment zippered interior with each dividing flap containing mesh pockets to hold smaller essentials. There's even a removable hanger and laundry and shoe bags. The exterior is a lightweight polycarbonate shell and the four multi-directional spinner wheels have a unique braking system that can prevent your luggage from rolling away.
Promising reviews: "I think these suitcases are so stylish. I love the inside with pockets and panels to make packing easier and have my things arrive just as I packed them." — Suzy
"I purchased this carry on for a three week winter trip to Europe. Granted, I did have a duffle as well for my coat and shoes but all in all it had plenty of room for my clothing selections. 4 pairs of pants, a skirt , unmentionables, 9 shirts, 2 tanks, and 3 sweaters. In the end, I packed too many clothes but it was nice to have options and my carry on didn’t weigh more than 35 pounds when completely packed and wasn’t ridiculously difficult to put in the overhead compartments. I loved the brake feature, especially on the trains so it wasn’t rolling across isle and the telescope handle was so smooth as well as sturdy. There’s not a doubt in my mind that this is a superior carry on." — Jenn

A multi-compartment hardshell carry-on
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars
This hardshell case is larger than the average carry-on and its ability to maximize space is helped by an expansion zipper and interior compression pad that can flatten bulky clothes. It also has an external compartment that contains pockets for smaller valuables and a reinforced laptop sleeve. (Note: At 15 inches wide, this suitcase may be just over the carry-on limit for some domestic airlines, but does fit guidelines for many international airlines.)
Promising review: "We have several trips planned for this year and needed to replace our carry-on luggage. I researched carry-on luggage and decided on Aerotrunk. I am so glad I did. Everything about the purchase was positive. The box the luggage came in looked like it was designed for it. It was packed in a cloth bag (great for storage). The attention to detail is evident. The carry-on has lots lot of compartments and features. You will find lots of goodies inside that just add value to the purchase. I also purchased the packing cubes. They are also well made and fit well in luggage. I love the compartment for laptop and assorted cables and etc. We can’t wait to use it. We have already ordered a second carry-on for my husband. I recommend you try this luggage, you won’t regret it." — Marty

A rolling backpack
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars
Easily transition between rolling and wearing backpack-style with this 17-inch water-resistant bag that features a hidden telescoping handle and two durable wheels. The most notable element of this backpack is the large interior and generous selection of pockets and compartments that are ideal for traveling with documents, laptops and tablets in addition to toiletries and clothing.
Promising review: "I was looking for a backpack to replace my 15+ year old Samsonite that has reached the end of the road. I wanted something that would allow me to use the wheels whenever I wanted, but also switch over to the straps quickly without having to zip or unzip a compartment/flap first. The ability to switch quickly between carrying it as a backpack and dragging it as a wheeled bag does not disappoint. This is especially important to me when I am boarding/exiting a plane as I have historically traveled over 200,000 miles per year - so that's a lot of flights. I've been on half a dozen flights so far with this bag, not to mention lugging it back and forth to the office almost daily when I am not on the road, and it has functioned beautifully whether using it has a backpack or a wheelie bag. Switching between the two is just a matter of grabbing the handle and dropping the bag to the ground." — RosaBianca

A weekender bag with a shoe compartment
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
This elegant weekender bag is the perfect travel companion not just because of its generous main compartment, but also its equally generous lower zipper compartment that can hold up to two pairs of shoes and keep them separate from clothing. There are also two external pockets, two interior pockets and a trolley sleeve so the bag can easily slide over the handle of a suitcase for easy transport.
Promising review: "This surpassed my expectations! the material is so buttery soft yet durable, the colors are very fresh and up lifting. They coordinate with other luggage items; the over the shoulder strap is comfortable, has a slide for telescoping luggage handle, sits up adequately above in cabin storage space on planes. Recently packed for a 7 day trip no problem, loved the shoe cavity on the bottom. Really classy." — Michelle

This checked-size rolling luggage is like traveling with a set of dresser drawers because the large main compartment features removable and adjustable shelf dividers.

Storage and waterproof sections galore plus shelves you can remove. It's super light and easy to roll around even packed to the hilt. Survived numerous flights and transfers plus being pulled down cobblestone streets without a problem. I liked it so much that I'm going to order the smaller size." — KP Wally

Promising review: "This replaces a carry on of the same size. I was getting sore wrists pushing it around, so I was attracted by the wide handle on this MIxi. So glad I did. The leverage is great, the suitcase very lightweight, the wheels smooth. Plus I really appreciate the flat interior, I don't have to work around the runners like in my old bag.. I got the white one, it is so good-looking!" — Young Senior

A large-capacity travel backpack
Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars
This large waterproof backpack provides the space and organizing potential of a regular carry-on. It includes a shoe compartment and interior wet bag to keep soiled clothes separate, a USB charger port and a trolley sleeve for fitting over luggage handles. You can get it in 15 colors and two sizes.
Promising review: "I recently bought this for a trip on a train, and it was perfect! The 'extra fabric' some people mentioned is actually part of the bottom compartment built for shoes. If you do plan to pack shoes, you definitely can’t fit as much in the main compartment but that’s to be expected. Very comfortable, has enough pockets for all my needs. The usb/portable charger pocket is fairly big, but you do have to work with it a bit to get a fairly large charger into there. Otherwise I’m obsessed with this bag and have already taken it with me on two other trips!" — Diana
