An Easy Guide to Finding Your Ideal Luggage, Based on Size and Price

"Tested by destinations editor Shannon McMahon, who prefers to travel with expandable hard-sided spinners, this one stands out for “its super roomy packing capacity and its smooth-rolling wheels.” Its become her go-to carry-on after first using it for a four-day getaway last year with room to spare (even after buying souvenirs). Smart features of the utilitarian bag include a built-in phone charger, zippered laundry compartment, oversized mesh organizational pockets, and antimicrobial lining. The exterior scratched surprisingly easily on that first trip, but beyond that it hasn't seen much damage: “It's not a fight against scratches on the outside like I thought it would be, it seems like it was just a first-use thing.” The bag's biggest pros: Its packing power and its ultra-lightweight—“it's light as a feather when empty,” McMahon says."
