Away's most popular suitcase is discounted right now, and the deepest cut applies to the model the brand is best known for. During Amazon's fall Prime Big Deal Days, which wraps up on October 7, the Away Bigger Carry-On in Palm Green drops 30%, from $295 to $206. Two other colorways — Alien Green and a Jessie Red version from the Toy Story collaboration — are 20% off, at $278 down from $348.
So what makes this bag the one travel writers keep recommending? The Bigger Carry-On is the roomier sibling in Away's carry-on range, and it's a favourite with chronic overpackers because it holds more than most bags that still fit overhead bins. The clamshell design splits evenly down the middle — one side for clothes, the other for shoes and toiletries — with a divider pocket for smaller items like hats and slim bags. The polycarbonate shell takes knocks well, and scuffs reportedly buff out with a Magic Eraser.
The Bigger Carry-On isn't the only deal in the sale. The standard hard-shell carry-on is also 30% off in Palm Green, saving $82. Checked luggage sees the biggest absolute discounts: $152 off the Large hard-shell checked suitcase in Palm Green or Sky Blue, $119 off the Large Active rolling duffel in Jet Black, Navy Blue, or Forest Green, and $109 off the Hardside Trunk in Sky Blue or Palm Green.
Smaller bits are cheaper too, and they're worth a look if you're shopping for gifts. The Packable Sling Bag and the Sleep Mask are each 40% off, while the Toiletry Bag is 30% off — all at stocking-stuffer price points.
Why it matters: Away rarely runs steep sitewide discounts outside of Prime Day events, so if you've had your eye on a specific colorway, this is the window. The trade-off is colour — the biggest savings are tied to seasonal shades like Palm Green and Sky Blue rather than the brand's core neutrals. If your travel plans for the next year include a trip where checked luggage makes sense, bundling a big checked case with a small accessory is where the maths works hardest. Note the clock: the sale ends the night of October 7, so deals listed here will lapse once Prime Big Deal Days closes.
