While recent regulations stipulate that holidays abroad are off the cards until at least July, thankfully, staycations are allowed to go ahead, so you’re going to need to have the perfect luggage on hand.
Enter Away. One of our favourite luggage brands that has reached cult status, bringing luxury and stylish storage solutions to your nights away.
Finding high-quality carry-ons and suitcases at a mid-range price point is no easy task, but Away performs, making it an ideal option if you’re in the market for stepping up your travel bag game.
The good news is if you’ve ever had your eye on anything from the brand, now is the time to invest because for only the second time ever, it is holding a sale and offering 30 per cent off its bestsellers, including those carry-on suitcases with built-in batteries that you’ve likely seen all over Instagram.
The discount is only available for a limited time – ending on 30 March – and we’d hazard a guess the leading products will sell out fast.

Away the bigger carry-on: Was £235, now £164, Awaytravel.com
The bigger carry-on is lightweight and perfectly sized to fit in the overhead locker of most airlines (although we’d suggest checking with individual providers so as to not be caught out). There are four, 360-degree wheels that make sure of a smooth-wheeling ride. The key feature we really love, though, is the fact it comes with a removable battery that can charge your phone, meaning you’ll never be caught out.
This design is also available in a range of sizes, including the carry-on (was £215, now £150, Awaytravel.com), medium (was £265, now £185, Awaytravel.com) and large (was £285, now £199, Awaytravel.com) – all of which come in a variety of bright and bold colours, which we love.
Away the dopp kit: Was £45, now £31, Awaytravel.com
Sized perfectly to fit inside your Away suitcase, this toiletry bag features a coated waterproof interior, meaning any spillages will be contained. With two zippered interior pockets, there’s ample storage space for all your essentials.
Away the everywhere bag: Was £145, now £101, Awaytravel.com
Featuring in our guide to the best carry on luggage, the everywhere bag is “a simple, classic travel holdall done really well: the main compartment is roomy and has a generous opening for easy packing, and the internal pockets are sturdy and well organised but not over-designed”, noted our writer. She added that “it takes a comfortable 20l and compresses obligingly, so you can pop it under the seat in front or in the overhead compartment with ease”.
If green isn’t your colour of choice, it’s also available in navy, light blue, grey and sand nylon, as well as black and pink leather.
Away the daily carry-on with pocket: Was £225, now £157, Awaytravel.com
The brand claims this is “everything you’d want in a rolling laptop bag”, which has an interior pocket that fits a 13in laptop, while the exterior pocket is designed to keep your items safe and secure. The case itself is made from a durable hard shell.
Away the kids’ carry-on: Was £135, now £95, Awaytravel.com
Designed with kids in mind, this case allows your little one to roll it themselves. It also features the ejectable battery that can charge your phone and other portable devices. With a capacity of 31l, there’s plenty of storage space.
Away the expandable medium: Was £255, now £178, Awaytravel.com
A soft suitcase with a durable and water-resistant nylon exterior, it expands by 1.75in, so there’s plenty of space for your holiday needs. It also has a hidden laundry bag for keeping dry clothing separate. It’s available in carry-on (was £195, now £136, Awaytravel.com), bigger carry-on (was £215, now £150, Awaytravel.com) and large (was £275, now £192, Awaytravel.com) sizes.
The expandable carry-on (was £195, now £136, Awaytravel.com) even landed the top spot in our guide to the best wheeled travel bags, with our writer praising its durable outer and sleek profile. As such, you can trust these are a worthy investment.
Away the latitude tote: Was £175, now £122, Awaytravel.com
If it’s a shoulder bag you’re after, enter this tote, which fits everything you need – it’ll be particularly great for when you need to return to the office (remember that?). Featuring a removable strap, it can seamlessly attach to any Away suitcase. If light pink isn’t your colour, it’s also available in black, green and red.
Away the weekender: Was £175, now £122, Awaytravel.com
This duffle-style travel bag is ideal for storing up to a week’s worth of clothing and toiletries. As with all of Away’s luggage, it’s been designed thoughtfully and with ease of use in mind – including a shoe compartment, 15in laptop sleeve and zipped pockets inside and out. Similarly to other luggage in the brand’s extensive collection, this is available in three colours.
Away the backpack: Was £145, now £101, Awaytravel.com
A versatile travel backpack, this is made from water-resistant nylon. With plenty of space for all your belongings, there are three roomy compartments suitable for everything from a 15in laptop to clothing.
Away the insider packing cubes (set of four): Was £45, now £31, Awaytravel.com
Whether you’re a lazy packer or like keeping things neat and organised in your suitcase, we’d recommend reaching for these packing cubes. There are four different sizes – small, medium slim, medium wide and large slim – so you can dedicate one to different items. Made from water-resistant nylon, if any spillages occur your clothing will be safe.
