Away Bigger Carry-On — $50 off

The carry-on that started a luggage revolution and still justifies the price tag. Polycarbonate hard shell, 360° spinner wheels, ejectable battery for charging on the go, and the lifetime warranty that means you'll never buy luggage again. Tested across 28 transatlantic flights, eight transcontinental drives, and one very rough Uber driver — and ranked #1 in our 2026 carry-on round-up.

The 5 Best Travel Credit Cards for 2026

Chase Sapphire Reserve, Amex Platinum, Capital One Venture X — we ran the numbers on actual rewards earned across 30+ trips. Here's which card wins for which traveler.

How to plan travel in 2026

Travel is the category where overpaying is built into the system — same room, same flight, same rental, totally different price depending on where you book. Hotels, flights, luggage, gear all reward the traveler who knows where to look and when to book.

Our editors have personally booked over 1,200 trips across 90+ countries. Here's the framework we use ourselves whenever we're planning real trips, not just window-shopping.

The best travel purchases are the ones that pay you back trip after trip — durable luggage, the right credit card, packing tools that turn a frantic morning into a calm one. The worst are the impulse buys that waste money and suitcase space.

5 things to check before you book

1

Compare three sites minimum

The same hotel room often costs $30-100 less on a different site. Always check Booking, the hotel direct, and one aggregator (Kayak, Google) before booking.

2

Book direct for hotels — sometimes

Major chains often match third-party prices and add member perks (free WiFi, late checkout, room upgrades). For independent hotels, third parties usually win on price.

3

Tuesday/Wednesday flights are cheaper

Mid-week departures save 10-25% on average vs Friday-Sunday. Use Google Flights' calendar view to see the cheapest day in any given month.

4

Buy durable luggage once

A $300 carry-on that lasts 15 years is far cheaper than buying $80 luggage every two years. Lifetime warranties (Away, Osprey, TUMI, Briggs & Riley) actually pay off.

5

Buy direct when you can

Brand sites often have the best return policies, longest warranties, and free shipping. We list every brand's official URL on every product.

Frequently asked

The questions readers ask us about shopping for travel — answered honestly.

Should I book hotels on Booking.com or directly with the hotel?
For major chains (Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt), booking direct usually wins — you get loyalty points, member rates, and perks like free WiFi and room upgrades. For independent hotels, smaller boutique properties, and international travel, Booking.com or Hotels.com tend to be cheaper because they negotiate volume rates. Read our full Booking.com comparison for category-by-category breakdowns.
When is the best time to book a flight?
For domestic flights: 1-3 months out. For international: 2-6 months out. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the cheapest days to depart; Saturday departures cost the most. Set up Google Flights or Kayak alerts on your route 3 months before you plan to fly — they'll email you when prices drop.
Is Away luggage actually worth $300+?
Yes, if you fly more than 4 trips per year. The polycarbonate shell, lifetime warranty, and 100-day trial mean you'll likely get 10-15+ years of use. Cheaper $80 luggage typically lasts 2-3 years. Math says Away costs less per use over time. For occasional travelers (1-2 trips/year), a $130 Samsonite Omni does most of what an Away does. Read our full Away vs Monos comparison for a deeper look.
Are travel insurance plans worth buying?
For domestic trips under $500: usually no. For international trips, expensive flights, or trips with non-refundable bookings: yes. Premium credit cards (Chase Sapphire Reserve, Amex Platinum) often include trip cancellation, baggage delay, and rental car coverage at no extra cost — check what your card already covers before paying for separate insurance.
What's the difference between Reviews, Compare, and the category pages?
Reviews are our editors' deep-dives into specific products and platforms after weeks of hands-on testing. Compare is the side-by-side tool — pick any two products or platforms and stack their features, prices, and policies. Category pages (like this one) are the entry point for browsing — current deals, trending products, and links to the most relevant reviews and comparisons.
Do you accept money from the brands you cover?
We have brand partnerships and affiliate relationships — they're how the site stays free to read. But brands cannot pay to influence our reviews, ratings, or rankings. Our editorial team operates separately from the partnerships team. Read more on our Affiliate Disclosure and About pages.
