Away luggage sizes
Away is a direct-to-consumer travel brand sold at awaytravel.com, best known for its hardside polycarbonate carry-on suitcases. The current lineup spans Classic hardside, expandable Flex, top-opening Topside, softside nylon, and aluminum luggage, plus bags and travel accessories. Away's Bigger Carry-On is marketed on its own homepage as a 2025 Wirecutter pick, and its bags are backed by a program the company calls LifetimeCare.
Away publishes one exterior L x W x H figure per bag in inches, and every hardside and softside product page carries an explicit note that the exterior figure includes the wheels (softside pages add handles too), so these are overall gate-sizer dimensions, not body-only. Away does not publish a separate body-only exterior figure alongside it. Interior dimensions are given separately as usable packing space and are not the same measurement as body-only exterior.
