The Best Checked Luggage, Tested & Reviewed By Our Editors (2023)
25.09.2023 - 15:09 / cntraveler.com / Meaghan Kenny
When it comes to major travel gear purchases, a checked bag typically tops the list in regards to both importance and price. It’s a staple for longer trips (anywhere from 10 to 14 days) and for anyone who wants or needs to have more room in their suitcase. And while large luggage tends to be relatively costly, a quality bag should last you for years to come. That said, deciding what is the best checked luggage for you—whether you’re buying your first one or looking to upgrade from an older model—isn’t a decision that should be made lightly. You’ll want to consider a few factors:
To help you narrow down the search, our editors and contributors spent the last year reviewing models from top luggage brands like Away, Calpak, Monos, Tumi, and Béis to determine which ones we recommend most. Read on to discover the best checked luggage to buy right now—all of which have been thoroughly road-tested for their durability, functionality, and capacity.
This article is part of Condé Nast Traveler’s first-ever Luggage Week, for which dozens of suitcases, backpacks, and weekender bags were road-tested by our editors.
“For the first time ever as an overpacker, I had room to spare,” says associate commerce editor Meaghan Kenny, who traveled with the Béis 26” Check-In Roller on a nine-day trip to Italy this summer. A large part of that spaciousness comes from the hard-sided suitcase’s many compartments and its ability to expand an additional two inches to accommodate more volume. On one side, a U-zip flap and its two zip pockets keep contents securely packed away; the opposite side uses a detachable compression flap with another U-zip pocket and four-point compression straps to provide security and stability. There are also two more pouches—for small valuables and for dirty or wet clothing—which Kenny likens to having “built-in packing cubes.” While Béis says the suitcase can hold up to 99 pounds, it also features a weight limit indicator to ensure you don’t go over any weight limit specifications when flying.
The first thing you’ll notice about the Ambeur Large Luggage from Calpak is its size: The checked bag can carry up to 112L. “An individual traveler could easily get away with packing a week’s worth of clothes and accessories, possibly even two travelers with the right packing skills,” says Lara Kramer, global director of audience development, social, and analytics, who also shared that the suitcase is expandable by two inches, “ensuring you can bring home those extra souvenirs.” Overpackers—or those packing for multiple travelers—will appreciate the spacious main compartments, as well as the three additional zipper compartments that Kramer says are “perfect for packing your smaller or more delicate items.” The

The Best Things to Do in Milwaukee—the Midwest's Most Overlooked Gem
Milwaukee, Wisconsin is a city on the rise; so much so that it just joined our Readers’ Choice Awards list of the best big cities in the US, ranking third—just behind San Diego and Chicago. Long considered nearby Chicago's little sibling, Milwaukee has finally come into its own by growing amongst younger people for its affordability over the Second City, allowing people to buy homes and rent better apartments. Not to mention the growing restaurant scene, new infrastructure increasing walkability, and enough city amenities for the Midwest gem to truly feel desirable—it’s no longer just a small town. And with so many local colleges and a venerated art museum, there is strong curiosity and willingness to embrace the new.
