Carryon suitcase recommendation? Have a lot of upcoming work travel and I’m terrible at “packing light” would love a carry on size that is great at fitting in multiple shoes etc 😬. I’ve been getting a ton of insta ads but wanted to check here to see mom recommendations!

I’ve had my away for years now and still love it. I got the ‘bigger’ carry on that still fits overhead etc and it’s been awesome.

This was going to be my recommendation as well. My away is my go to for business travel.

I have the larger carry on from Monos that I like, it’s big but fits the size for most domestic US flights (too big for in-cabin on international or small regional planes). When I really need to maximize what I bring I use compression packing cubes or space bags (the ones that you roll to remove the air).

If you’re getting insta ads I’m sure the Nobl has been sent your way - I can’t recommend it, it’s just too gimmicky and doesn’t have the capacity of other similarly sized bags and is pricy for what it is.

If you want a carry on that fits lots of shoes, I recommend a top opening one instead of a clamshell, the depth will help (depending on what kind of shoes, size, etc.). They make hard sided top opening ones as well, and maybe get one that expands to give a bit more space. Compression pads/straps are key as well.

I’d also suggest foregoing a suitcase with a front pocket or built in battery pack/charger, both take up more space than is worth it and are often useless or difficult to use once you load up the bag.

Def not this!

Compression packing cubes are great. But they create football sized packets so need to still be clever about packing ie keep socks and underwear and pjs etc out of cubes to stuff the areas of suitcase that aren’t filled by cubes. Beware. Suitcase gets very heavy. I can easily get five days of a multi outfit European trip into a carry on with these compression cubes

I live my monos larger carry-on. Word of caution that the one with the outside compartment is great for carrying my second monitor but does limit the inside space.

TravelPro Max. Fits a lot and still fits in the overhead, even on those 2x2 regional planes.

Quince

Agree that Quince is great. The quality is similar to Monos/Away but at a much better price point.

Recently joined a project that’s been in flight for long time. Onboarding hasn’t been great, not sure who my Point of contact is, where we are in the process (since they started such a long time ago and the SoW is outdated by at least 2 years), what the objectives are for this phase of work. Manager sort of just says things that suggests I should know, which deters me from asking Qs. They recently came across as a bit annoyed when I’d ask a few Qs. Not sure if they fee the onboarding decks…tbc
