In search of a new suitcase for 2024? We've found some brilliant luggage deals you can shop for today before you catch some winter sun.

After spending hundreds on flights and even more on a hotel room, the last thing you want to do is spend more than you need to on a brand-new suitcase. Luckily, we've found significant price reductions on the best suitcases and chic weekend bags for over half price.

Below are handpicked luggage deals from w&h, some of which we personally love and tested. And if you're shopping for the best Christmas gifts for mum or an Amazon Christmas gift for last-minute shopping, there is discounted luggage for every gift recipient and budget.

Where to shop the best luggage deals

What size suitcase do I need?

The suitcase size depends on how long you will be travelling and if you want to check in your luggage or store it overhead. For a quick weekend getaway, a nice cabin-size suitcase that's large enough to hold three to four outfits and personal items is the perfect size, which equates to about 30-40 litres of packing space. We recommend a medium to large size suitcase if you plan on travelling for a week or longer - something with the packing capacity of roughly 100 litres or more. 

When is the best time to buy new luggage

The best time to buy new luggage is during a major holiday sale, such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Boxing Day. We saw some very impressive deals with discounts of up to 69% on popular brands. Amazon Prime Day is another great time to look out for luggage deals and the end of summer. This makes sense because fewer people are holidaying once September arrives, and companies will look to shift the stock they didn't sell.

What luggage brands go on sale?

During Black Friday weekend and other holiday sale events, luggage brands Away, Antler, Herschel, and TRIPP are the few brands you can expect a sale from. And even if certain brands aren't holding a sale, you can find luggage deals at stockists such as John Lewis, House of Fraiser, Very, and Debenhams.

Which brand is best for luggage?

When we tested the best suitcases, of the brands we tested, the top-rated brands were Samsonite, Bric's, Hershal, Tripp, Antler and Away. 

The right suitcase brand for you will depend on your personal preferences and budget, too – some luggage options can be incredibly expensive, meaning the premium brands won't be right for everyone. However, opting for a brand that's known for its durability, as well as one that offers long-term guarantees, is always a good option.

Our Head of E-commerce Millie Fender has tested and loved her Antler suitcase for two years now. She says, "The Antler suitcase has made travelling so much easier. Paired with my Chelsea Weekender Bag, which slots onto the handle for an all-in-one airport experience, I love its sunny yellow shade (the brand does lots of fab colours) and its secure yet lightweight frame. As a brand, I could not recommend Antler Luggage more."

How do you know if you’re getting a genuinely good deal?

The most well-known brands can get away with charging that little bit extra due to the knowledge customers have of the brand and the products offered. Certain brands, such as American Tourister or It Luggage, won't often offer huge savings on suitcases and other luggage, meaning that if you spot a deal from these brands for anything over 40%, you might want to consider investing.

Always check the actual RRP of an item on the stockist you're looking at, and cross-reference via other stockists, to ensure that the RRP on the page hasn't been bumped up to make the current price look even more appealing. Additionally, make sure that the luggage in the deal is actually from a disputable brand, and that you're spending your money on an item which will last you for a long time. 

What’s the most important thing to look for when buying luggage?

We asked our contributor and former deputy digital editor, Anna Paul, for her advice on buying new luggage. "As someone who's lived in four different countries and jumps on a flight or train at any given opportunity, I've learnt a lot about choosing the right (and wrong) luggage", Anna says. "For me, the most important thing is to pick the best luggage option for your trip. Heading on a long weekend? I'd opt for a small soft-shell cabin case and a rucksack that you can scrunch up. If you're working with restrictive baggage rules and want to carry your bags on the aircraft, soft bags are my personal favourite as they're generally a bit less scrupulous with anything that's not on wheels and you can move it around to fit your needs."

She adds: "I'm a streamlined traveller so regardless of the trip, I look for baggage with compartments and I always use packing cubes. If I'm travelling long-haul, I normally opt for a hard case, but getting a good quality one is key: I'd personally never take the risk with a cheap hard case as I've learnt the hard way that they can easily crack. I personally see locks as a bonus rather than an essential but using a TSA-approved lock undoubtedly gives you peace of mind that your items are safe. I don't think you need to spend big to get good-quality luggage but I'd never scrimp - it's a false economy if you do and you run the risk of damaging (or losing) your valuables."
