Popular baggage maker Away has started its Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, with a selection of items up to 40% off, including luggage, suitcases, totes, toiletry bags, and other travel essentials. The "Cyber Week" sale launched ahead of
Black Friday
and will end on
Cyber Monday
, November 29, and is available online and at the company's retail stores.
As more people are traveling again — whether it's international flights or domestic road trips — the sale comes at an appropriate time. While Away has run promotions — it last ran "The Surprise 30% Off" sale in March — they are rare. In our research and testing, we find Away's luggage and travel gear to be some of the best in the industry, not to mention stylish.
However, this particular sale isn't as grand as Away's "Surprise" sale. The popular original Carry-On is not part of the lineup, but variations of it are. It's possible Away could add more items to this sale, but for now, it's limited. Still, it's worth taking a look, especially if you have been looking at Away luggage for your next travel.
The best Away Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals
Great as a personal travel item or an everyday purse, this chic tote has tons of room inside to throw in all those accessories, or even a 15" laptop. It's made from a premium leather and also comes with a detachable strap. It comes in an array of color options from a classic black to a ruby red. For a longer version, check out Away's The Longitude Tote.
Away's Longitude Tote is a practical and simple bag that we would happily take to work, with plenty of room for gym wear. It has a magnetic closure, but we wish it had a zipper to secure the belongings when traveling. Otherwise, it's suitable for a daily commute or as an in-flight personal item. For a wider version, check out Away's Latitude Tote.
For those who want the best from Away's luggage but in a much smaller size, the Daily Carry-On with Pocket is made with a durable but lightweight hard exterior. Four spinner wheels and a telescoping handle allow for easy movement. Ideal for the business traveler, there's enough room for a 13" laptop, documents, and clothes for short trips, and a front pocket for easy access. The downside is that it's slightly too large to fit underneath an airplane seat, so it doesn't count as a personal item.
This cute little mini replica of the classic Carry-On is great for storing in-flight necessities like chapstick, lotion, or even small snacks. I like to throw it in my bag and then keep it in my seatback pocket during flights for easy access.
Away Black Friday deals FAQ
When does the Away Black Friday sale start and end?
Away's "Cyber Week" 2021 sale, which started early in advance of Black Friday, ends November 29. Due to Away's popularity, items may sell out before the end of the event.
Is everything on sale?
The sale is limited to select styles and colors. While Away's highly popular Carry-On isn't part of the sale, variations of this product are, such as the Bigger Carry-On with Pocket and Expandable Carry-On, as well as travel totes and accessories. It's possible Away may add more items during the sale.
What are the best styles from Away?
Away's classic The Carry-On bag is one of our favorite luggage. In our testing, we found it surprisingly packable and spacious, and it looks great. It also comes with a built-in lock for security and a battery to recharge your phone (you will need to remove the battery should you need to check the luggage).
We also like Away's Latitude and Longitude totes. Attractive and durable, they are great to take on board a plane as a personal bag for all your inflight essentials, or as everyday bags for your commute to work or the gym.
Equally attractive is the leather version of Away's The Everywhere Bag. Perfect for short trips, this weekend bag is also durable like Away's other products, but it's so stylish that it works as a regular bag for work as well.

How often does Away have sales?
Away's sales don't happen often. The first time the company ever had one was in September 2020 since its founding in 2015, followed by "The Surprise 30% Off" sale it had this past March. It's possible Away may start having more sales in the future, but we haven't seen any indication of that. We wouldn't wait if you see something you want.
