Away The Carry-On vs Samsonite Freeform Spinner 24"

The Away Carry-On is the better carry-on for most people: a 100% polycarbonate shell, a compression system that packs more than its size suggests, smooth 360° wheels, and a lifetime repair warranty. The Samsonite Freeform Spinner is lighter and expandable, and its 10-year warranty is straightforward, but its polypropylene shell and double wheels feel a step below. Buy the Away if you want one durable bag that fits overhead bins; buy the Samsonite if you want a lighter, expandable spinner and don't mind a shorter warranty.

• Choose the Away Carry-On if you want a compact, hard-shell carry-on that fits overhead bins, packs tight with a compression system, and comes with a lifetime repair warranty.
• Choose the Samsonite Freeform Spinner if you want a lighter expandable spinner with a 10-year warranty and don't need it to fit every overhead bin.
