They might be okay bags, but they lack class and scream 'I chose the bag social media ads told me to buy'.

I judge people on a massive amount of things, including suitcase choice. I see no reason to leave the house otherwise

Away > travel pro. Maneuvers better, feels lighter, fits better, and has lifetime replacement. Someone’s just salty b/c they get ads for hair plugs rather than travel gear.

I love mine. Don’t care if someone thinks it “lacks class”

Bigger carry on - Yes, Yes, Yes!

P1 and DD1 - seriously? Judging someone based on buying a very functional and reasonably priced suitcase? Lacks class? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Having owned multiple TravelPro suitcases for the past 10 years, I can attest they are certainly a lower quality of suitcase than Away. Not sure where you're coming from Protiviti 1

Because less is obviously not more lol and I always overstuffed my luggage 😩

Yeah, seriously. TravelPro already rules the 'functional and reasonably priced' market segment, and makes bags that are objectively superior to Away in nearly every measure of comparison. Away is just a fad. It's the PopSocket of suitcases.

So... Will the bigger away fit in regional jets?

Great bag for functionality, durability, and price. Get the smaller one and it fits in regionals. I prefer it over my Rimowa and B&R.

Thanks everyone. Very useful!

Does that fit overhead on domestic flights? Assume not the smaller planes

Does the battery get annoying with travel?

Is bigger away going to fit in the smaller regional jets, such as ERJ? My current carry on does.

The CR7 is the reason I love my eBags 21”’Motherload. Perfect size to carry on and not have to wait for valet bags on those tight connections

Also, I have the smaller one and it fits in the compartment of every single plane I’ve been on. I can pack everything I need for the week plus a winter coat.

I’m starting to see my bf as emotional baggage and feeling very claustrophobic. He’s intimidated by my job, he can’t stand to listen to me talk about work even for 5 min; he’s started doing this thing being very insistent with pda and the harder he pushes … the more I just say “no.” I’m not a prop/toy/trophy/side piece/cheerleader/emotional anchor/house maid…. For free. I don’t mind pda. But I don’t like someone mackin’ all over me when it’s disingenuous and has nothing really to do with me.
