Bonus: It comes with a leather luggage tag and some collectible stickers.

If you only travel once in a blue moon, we recommend the white look. It’s sharp and will last you for years to come. If you’re the type who is in and out of airports every other week, however, you might consider the darker matte options so the style doesn’t wear off too soon.

When talking suitcases, you might see the penny pinchers get apprehensive. How can they justify spending so much on carry on luggage that spends most of the year in the back of the closet?

There are travelers who will splurge for a weekend trip but not the suitcase to match. Now they don’t have to thanks to the Samsonite Freedom 110 Carry on Spinner. This product is taken from Samsonite’s 110th Anniversary Collection, giving it some nostalgia for the Samsonite loyalists out there.

The theme here is retro. Take your pick between mint green and arctic white. Both come with a lining that’s a total throwback to the 1960s when aircraft-based tourism was just taking off.

Of course, the suitcase meets all the basic requirements: cross ribbon and dividers to make packing a breeze, double wheels for easy handling, built-in ID tag, and a 3-dial combination lock (TSA approved). Go with the affordable classic and put the money saved toward your next sejour. Bon voyage!

4. Paravel Aviator Ribbed Cabin Suitcase

Paravel is featured as a New Designer on MatchesFashion.com, and this suitcase entirely deserves the highlight. Aviator is the perfect name for this one. The suitcase is simple, and in its navy hue, looks exactly like the classy bags toted by pilots and flight attendants as they board the aircraft.

It’s composed of recycled polycarbonate so it scores some sustainability points for the materials. The leather trim is faux. No worries on that front.
