Samsonite Freeform Carry-on Spinner
We voted the Samsonite Freeform Carry-on Spinner as our favorite carry-on of all time after testing it in our lab twice and sending it out into the real world. Like many bags from the brand, we were impressed with its durability and didn’t notice any signs of damage throughout the testing process. This carry-on is large enough to fit everything you need for a long weekend trip (or a week-long trip if you’re a light packer), and it can expand a couple of inches if you need more space. It also rolls smoothly and is remarkably light considering its durability. Currently on sale for $126 with the addition 10-percent-off CYBER10 discount code, this is the best time of the year to get this popular, highly-rated carry-on.
Samsonite Proxis Global Carry-on Spinner
Samsonite was so confident in its latest carry-on luggage advancement that the brand actually dropped one of them from space — yes, you read that right. The most remarkable part is that the Proxis Global Carry-on Spinner sustained no damage from this experiment thanks to its state-of-the-art Roxkin outer shell that’s designed to bounce back into shape under force. If that’s not enough to convince you, we hit this bag with a bat and even jumped on it during a lab test and still saw no damage. It’s also remarkably lightweight and rolls smoothly, so we think it’s a great investment that you can get for more than $100 off the normal price using an additional code — CYBER10 — during Black Friday weekend.
Samsonite Omni PC 20-inch Carry-on
Get a solid carry-on bag for under $100 over the sale weekend. The Omni PC 20-inch Carry-on is a sturdy, reliable hardside bag that will stand up to the wear and tear of everyday travel. The compact size should fit most airline baggage restrictions and the bag can be expanded if you need more space. It also has side-mounted TSA locks for extra security while you fly, and you can choose from 14 different colors for a suitcase that matches your style.
Samsonite Centric 2 Hardside Expandable 3-piece Set
Black Friday weekend is a great time to replace your old suitcase set with a new one like this Centric 2 Hardside Expandable trio. The three suitcases — a small 20-inch carry-on and roomy 24- and 28-inch checked bags — are made to offer plenty of space for both short and lengthy travels thanks to their expandable designs. Each bag is made with a scratch-resistant polycarbonate shell that will keep your things safe airport after airport. You’ll also get side-mounted TSA locks on the two larger bags, and the entire set is backed by a 10-year limited warranty.
Samsonite Cosmolite 3.0 2-piece Set
If you’re willing to splurge on a new Samsonite luggage set but still want a good deal, you can’t miss the opportunity to get the Cosmolite 3.0 2-piece set, on sale for over 40 percent off using discount code CYBER10. That amounts to a whopping $529 off the regular price — you’ll never see this set cheaper. We can even vouch for the large spinner included in the test, as we tested it in our lab. We found that it’s remarkably lightweight (even lighter than many carry-ons we’ve tested) and easy to maneuver. While it doesn’t look very tough at first glance, the flexible outer material allows it to bounce back after being hit, so it passed all of our durability tests with flying colors. It’s one of our favorite checked bags and we think the set is worth the investment.
Samsonite Elevation Plus Backpack
Samsonite’s Black Friday sale isn’t limited to luggage. Right now, you can score the Elevation Plus Backpack for $76, down from the regular $120 using discount code CYBER10. We’ve personally tried out this backpack and voted it as the best business trip option in our durable backpack test. We love its sleek look and plethora of pockets to help you stay organized — plus, it can comfortably fit two laptops. The backpack is lightweight and has lots of padding on the straps for all-day comfort. We also love that it’s small enough to fit under an airplane seat, so you can use it as a personal item when you travel.
Samsonite Solyte DLX Softside Carry-on
If a softside bag is more your style, don’t sleep on the Solyte DLX Softside Carry-on, on sale now for 18 percent off. The 20-inch size is small enough for most major airlines while the soft material allows you to squeeze items into every last inch of space. Like all Samsonite bags, the outside is extra durable too, so you don’t have to worry about your belongings being damaged during transit. Other features of this bag include a USB port for easy charging and a waterproof pocket for storing wet items. Beach vacay, anyone?
Samsonite Uptempo X Hardside 2-piece Set
The Uptempo X Hardside 2-piece set is another Samsonite luggage set on sale during Black Friday. Now 68 percent off, it comes with a carry-on and a large spinner, which should be enough to get you through just about any vacation. These bags are both lightweight and sturdy and can be expanded if you need extra space. Made with polycarbonate, these are also easy to clean with a quick wipe. The large spinner features a built-in TSA lock for security and both bags have smart organization features like dual pocket lining dividers and cross straps to hold everything in place.

Top and side carrying handles make it easy to transport while four dual-spinner wheels help it roll smoothly on various surfaces. Choose from one of five beautiful colors.
Samsonite Ecodiver Small Duffel Backpack
We tested the Ecodiver Small Duffel Backpack in our lab and dubbed it the best convertible weekender bag for men, and it even earned a spot in our top 10 favorites from the entire brand catalog. Weighing close to 2 pounds, it’s an ultra-lightweight duffel that can also worn as a backpack thanks to removable straps that can be tucked away between uses. We love how durable it was during testing and are confident it’s a bag that will last a long time. The smaller size makes it ideal for weekend trips or other short vacations and it has plenty of pockets inside for organization. On sale for more than 20 percent off using the CYBER10 discount code, it’s a great pick for travelers who want a convertible bag with smart organizational features.
Samsonite Omni 2 Hardside Expandable Luggage 2-piece Set
Another solid Samsonite luggage set, the Omni 2 Hardside Expandable Luggage 2-piece set is currently on sale for 59 percent off, making it a great time to upgrade your current pieces. The set comes with a 20-inch carry-on and a 28-inch checked bag, with the carry-on fitting into most airline luggage restriction requirements. They both have similar organization features inside — one side of each bag has a mesh zipper pocket to help keep your shoes and other belongings apart from clean clothes; the other side has an X-shaped elastic band to hold folded clothes in place. The outer shell is made with tough polycarbonate that’s scratch-resistant and easy to clean. You can get the set in multiple colors as well, including standard black and beautiful jewel tones.
Samsonite Underseat Spinner
Because of its small size, this kind of bag is frequently used by flight attendants, but it’ll prove to be a useful carry-on for any traveler. The Underseat Spinner from Samsonite is great for weekend trips or short excursions and has several small pockets for organization inside and outside the bag. Plus, it has an attached USB port that makes it easy to charge your phone or tablet on the go (battery pack not included). The four dual-spinner wheels make it easy to roll through any airport, train station, or city street. Score this bag for just $99 during Amazon’s Black Friday sale.
Samsonite Elevation Plus Large Softside Spinner
We voted the Elevation Plus Large Softside Spinner as the best expandable option in our best softside luggage test, so we’re thrilled to see it on sale for over 40 percent off at Samsonite using discount code CYBER10. During testing, we found it incredibly spacious and had no problem fitting everything on our packing list. It’s also expandable, a nice feature when bringing home a few souvenirs. We love the multiple interior and exterior pockets that help keep things organized during trips and were impressed by its durability (even though it’s a softside). If you prefer fabric over a hard shell, this is a great bag to get for a great price.
Samsonite Uplift HS Carry-on Spinner
A good carry-on bag is hard to come by, but the Uplift HS Carry-on Spinner is a solid pick for just about anyone. Lightweight yet sturdy, it’s designed to have plenty of space inside with an expander option if you need it. The dual spinner wheels roll smoothly and absorb shock to reduce the chances of breaking when an enthusiastic employee throws it a little too hard onto the plane. This bag also looks great with its layered shell design that will instantly upgrade your entire travel look. Get this carry-on for 60 percent off at Macy’s this Black Friday.
