The expandable, water-resistant suitcase is a "true gem," per one shopper who also praised it as their "favorite travel companion." The suitcase measures within the domestic carry-on capacity at 21.75 inches by 14.75 inches and offers two inches of wiggle room when it's expanded. It "rolls and spins nicely," according to one reviewer, thanks to its eight spinner wheels that another person praises for "smooth handling and gliding."

My Away suitcase was checked ahead of every flight, even if said trip was a quick 24-hour stint. Trust me, I found a way to fill it. My over-packing problem, though, is the very reason I found myself in Target's travel section on the hunt for a relatively inexpensive carry-on.

This underseater has become a popular pick on Amazon with nearly 3,000 five-star ratings. Reviewers say the inside pocket is 'deeper than it looks' and allows you to fit up to a week's worth of clothing.
