We did think that the top grab-handle was a little too close to the bag, making it more difficult than usual to fit our hand in when trying to take the bag out of the overhead bin. We found it super easy to maneuver the suitcase thanks to super smooth wheels, a handle with four height options, and the extra large side handle that makes it easy to lift the bag into an overhead bin or the trunk of a car. It features two TSA integrated combination locks that open with the push of a button, plus protective bumpers, and retractable top and side carry handles. Rather than zippers, the Editor has a flip-lock closure with TSA key locks. The locks may not last against heavy usage. This case may not max out your carry-on capacity, so size up if you need more space. One day a company may crack the elusive buffle. One of the suitcases we personally tested, this compact carry-on is perfect for when you want to pack light or need a supplemental bag in addition to a checked suitcase.

This compact carry-on is lightweight and stylish, with a nice amount of pockets inside to help with packing. Though it’s on the smaller size, this carry-on has a nice amount of pockets, zippered compartments, and even a mini hanger inside to help with packing. Inside, zippered mesh compartments, hanging dividers, and a cross ribbon help keep your things organized. And it has a full-zip divider pad in the interior top compartment to keep packing super organized and tidy. Place the butter rectangle on the bottom half of dough and fold the top half of dough over it, pressing the dough edges together to seal air inside along with the butter. We tested this piece of luggage in our New York City lab, so we can confirm firsthand how spacious it is and how smoothly it rolled over different types of flooring despite its size and weight. It was easy to maneuver the trunks through our obstacle course and over different materials like carpet and concrete pavers, although we noticed they rolled more smoothly on four wheels and slowed down just a little bit on two wheels. Although the wheels rolled smoothly on four wheels, they required just a little extra effort on two wheels.

Inside are two mesh zip pockets and a zip divider. From flexible softside suitcases to ultra-durable hardside options, these are the best luggage pieces for jetting off abroad. Zipperless luggage, like aluminum suitcases, is safer than many zippered softside suitcases because they are outfitted with secure latches and rigid, rugged hardside shells, which makes them harder to break into. Made with polycarbonate and an aluminum frame, this 28-inch suitcase is a durable, zipperless pick at a large, checked size. With the enormous variety of luggage options available today, it can feel overwhelming to pick the right bag for an international trip. For this list, we prioritized bags that work with general international size and weight limits, as many international carriers have stricter requirements for both. This bag has the largest capacity on this list and a great compression system so you can fit everything you need for your international getaway. This, paired with staining or warping when cleaning, kept us from adding to our list of recommendations. While the cases on our list are all free from external zippers, many contain internal zippers for the purposes of organization. While the price is higher than many other bags on this list, we feel this bag is worth it due to its sleek appearance, large capacity, and overall durability.

The corners are all protected with aluminum corner guards, while the entire surface of the luggage is scratch-resistant and built to look brand new even after years of use. Though we didn’t test this trunk ourselves, take one look and you’ll see that it evokes an earlier, more glamorous age of travel – but it also represents a thoroughly modern version of the trunk silhouette. Look for features like zippered or mesh interior pockets, dividers, and even extras like included laundry bags. With zipperless suitcases, all of the organizational features are generally found on the inside. This vintage-inspired trunk is gorgeous and also tricked out with smart features. We wish the bag’s grab handle was larger and more flexible to make it easier to pull the bag out of overhead bins. This attractive, affordable, and smooth-rolling bag comes in eight colors that stand out on the carousel. This attractive and smooth-rolling suitcase comes with a three-year warranty.
