"Me and my wife have the Away carry ons now for 5 years and have used it extensively with no issues. Can definitely recommend them."
"My husband and I both have the Away Carryon. They have been all over the world with us."
"Away I feel is the best bang for your buck in terms of durability and price. There is a reason they're so popular."
"I love my Away bag. It’s probably 5 years old and still like new."
"I’ve been using my away carry on weekly for over 4 years and I still love it. I will buy away again."
"I bought a monos and an away a few years ago, found the monos to be bulkier and heavier with less inside room, kept the away and love it."
"I honestly still love my Away luggages minus the wheels. They do stand by the warranty even."
"I’ve had my set since 2017 and they’ve been on numerous airlines both as carryon and checked luggage and I’ve dragged them all over cobblestones multiple times a year."
"Away. Lifetime guarantee."
"Can also vouch for Away, great quality pieces that I’ve travelled with a lot and also replaced my partners carry on with an Away carry on."

Travelpro
4.6
(61)
"Travelpro Elite line has reinforced corners and edges and is therefore more durable than the regular travel pro line"
"We've had a great experience with Travel Pro luggage"
"My recommendations are: TravelPro Platinum Elite, TravelPro Crew Classic, Briggs & Riley ZDX, Briggs & Riley Essential."
"Travelpro is fantastic and has held up for 10 years of continuous travel for me."
"Travel pro !"
"Good TravelPro is my go-to."
"TravelPro is what I pilots and flight attendants use. I think they have a more professional line, and a consumer line."
"Use what flight crews use, Travelpro! Mine is a workhorse and has the overhead expander zipper, which comes in handy."
"Another vote for TravelPro. I have two, the regular sized carry on, plus the smaller wheeled overnighter. Things last like champs."
"TravelPro Platinum Elite. I had the soft sides for 15+ years and they were in great condition (went on 1000+ plane rides with the carryon)."

"Every Samsonite bag I have ever bought has a 10 year warranty and I have not had issues with honoring it."

"Tumi. It lasts, has built in tracking and they repair it as needed although I have never needed it."
