One thing about Travel + Leisure readers: They know a good luggage deal when they see one. This Amazon Prime Day, we’ve noticed that our readers are buying one particular best-selling Samsonite carry-on by the hundreds: the Freeform Hardside Expandable Spinner. 

You’ll probably want to take advantage of the 30-percent-off sale, too, once you read what travel pros have to say about the popular bag. But you better hurry, because at the stroke of midnight, this Cinderella-carriage-of-a-suitcase deal will turn back into a full-price pumpkin.

Samsonite Freeform Hardside Expandable Carry-on

The 21-inch bag is T+L’s top carry-on pick for the best Samsonite luggage of 2024, earning perfect scores in capacity, maneuverability, portability, and durability. In fact, it performed so well that our lab testers deemed it the best carry-on (by any brand) they’ve ever tried, especially loving the smooth-gliding wheels and light-yet-sturdy exterior. 

According to a travel writer who swears by the Freeform Hardside Spinner, it’s also their trick for bringing just one carry-on for trips lasting up to three weeks. One reviewer said it fit everything they needed for a whole month of international travel. When’s the last time you traveled for a month without checking a bag? (Me, never.)

The suitcase opens up to two main compartments separated by a divider with a zipper pocket. Its outer shell is textured to reduce and conceal blemishes, although reviewers say dark colors do better than light colors at hiding scuffs. The bag sits on four oversized wheels that spin 360 degrees and has a TSA-approved lock and expanding feature. It has almost 10,000 five-star ratings and is one of Amazon’s top-selling carry-ons. It’s even a favorite among flight attendants.

“Before I bought this carry-on suitcase, I looked like a comedy skit getting around the airport,” another Amazon reviewer wrote. “My old two-wheeled carry-on would fall over, twist my arm, need something to lean against all of the time, and be virtually impossible to stay stable while I was in line to pay or to get food.” They said the wheels on this Samsonite alone make it a game-changer.
