As many of you have seen on my Instagram, I just came back from my trip to Budapest and Prague last week. My trip was made easier because I brought the carry on luggage from Away and I cannot wait to talk about my experience!
I love traveling and travel quite frequently so I had been actively looking for a nice carry on luggage. When I came across Away, I knew I had to get my hands on it! Not only was I attracted by the hard shell exterior but also fell in love with all of the cool features.
The carry on luggage is designed with extreme thought and care because it has:
- two compartments, one designed for clothes, the other for shoes, toiletries, and other hard objects. Outside: an impenetrable shell that bends under pressure, never breaks
- built-in battery that can charge any USB device
- nylon laundry bag separates clean clothes from dirty
- Two zippers slot into a combination lock
- Premium Hinomoto wheels rotate 360° for a perfect roll every time.
- The matte textured surface deflects scuffs and scrapes along the way
I think people don’t really give thought to their luggage but this made my travels easier. I was excited to pack and unpack because the storage and compartments made my clothes more organized. At first, I was bummed that there wasn’t zippers and pockets in the front because I am normally used to luggage with those features. However, after traveling with Away, I have come to love the hard exterior and actually prefer no pockets in the front as it makes for easier theft. I also appreciated the lock feature because it gives me a sense of extra security. It’s really cool because you set a 3 digit code and the two zippers fit perfectly into the combination lock. It’s also TSA approved so you don’t have to worry about going through airport security with a problem.
Another major feature that made me fall in love with Away was the built in battery. I was able to charge my phone and iPad wherever I was at (whether it was at the airport, at the hotel or simply on the road) and that made me stress free. All you have to do is charge the luggage beforehand, but one charge was enough to give my iphone 100% battery. I always wanted a luggage with a built in battery and now that I have one, I’m sure I will never go back to one without it.
The Away carry on luggage is also very affordable and comes in different colors so feel free to check all the options here. I am very happy to get my hands on this and can’t wait to bring this with me on my future trips.

I have this same carry on and I LOVE it. I love the hard shell and the fact that it looks so sleek and modern. The built in battery charger is also a huge bonus too. It rolls so perfectly smooth and it is the perfect size for a weekend trip. Glad you got good use out of it on your big vacay! xoxo, Christine

Yes it was a cool feature and I feel like all luggage should have it 🙂
As someone who travels A LOT I’d really want to try this luggage from Away. I would miss the zippers a bit as well, but that’s just a question of getting used to. What I do LOVE is the built in USB charger!! I seriously need one of these. 🙂

I think you will get used to it and love it just as much as I do!
I totally need a suitcase like this!! seems very convenient for a girl on the go!
Yes, I definitely agree. If you travel a lot, then this luggage will suit all your needs 🙂
I NEED THIS LUGGAGE ! Everytime I go to the airport my bag is overweight, and I have to readjust things between bags because my luggage is already heavy. Thanks for posting this, I am going to look into it !
It is very easy to keep all your clothing and belonging organized with their compartments and features. I think this would help you pack better!
While I don’t travel as frequently as I used to, I still like to get away when I can, and I’ve been searching everywhere for a quality luggage set. I will definitely have to check out “Away” since you’ve given such a good review. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I am a big fan of hardshell luggage too! I definitely think that investing in a good carry on is very essential when we travel so much!

Totally agree and the exterior shell is very protective of all your belongings.
You know for someone who always forgets to charge her phone, this luggage could be a lifesaver! I’ve heard about this luggage and am currently looking for a carry-on luggage so I definitely want to check it out! You always have the coolest reviews on things and I love that.

Thank you honey! I will definitely be using this for all my trips 🙂
I really need that luggage! It sounds so amazing. The thing I get really annoyed with when traveling is having to separate my dirty clothes from the clean ones. I usually would just put them in a plastic bag. So I definitely love that built in feature, plus I mean who doesn’t love an iPhone charger too?! 🙂

I totally agree! There’s also a laundry bag included, so you can definitely separate your dirty clothes and clean clothes!
I need this!!! I’m constantly traveling back and forth from LA to the bay area, need a travel bag as right now I’ve been lugging a backpack LOL
Oh this will change your life darling! If you’re traveling a lot, then this would be great for you!
That’s so cool it has a built in battery! Sounds so convinient! Personally I prefer suitcases like this that are hard shell with no exterior pockets as it’s less sections to lock!

I’ve come to like and appreciate the hard exterior after my experience with Away 🙂
It has a built in charger?!? OMG – that would’ve made my life so much easier whilst I was travelling around Thailand and Malaysia! It sounds like the travellers dream to have!!
