Margot Hardside Carry-On Spinner Luggage
From Amazon’s Black Friday sale, this black spinner is hardier than the average budget bag. And because of its all-black polycarbonate exterior, it won’t show any scuffs if it gets banged around in the overhead bin.
Away
The Bigger Carry-On
Away’s Bigger Carry-On is big enough that you can fit everything you need inside, but small enough that you can stuff it into the overhead—if only just barely.
Tumi
19 Degree International Expandable 4 Wheeled Carry-On
Tumi’s ultra-durable spinner is ready for anything. If your new spinner bumps up against any other carry-ons in the overhead bin, you know which bag is coming out on top.
