7 Best Luggage Sets for Different Length Trips

Best Budget

The Samsonite Voltage DLX 2 Piece Set comes with two bags, a checked and a carry on, and they fit into one another without too much fuss, which is handy for storage when you’re not traveling. Who wants to think about that, though? There are two packages, both including a carry on. You can go with the medium or large checked bag depending on your needs.

We dig this set because the cases have a unique exterior. It’s just as durable as other rolling luggage that we’ve tested; however, the textured front and back sides make it easier for you to identify your bags at the luggage carousel than if you had something more standard.

The organization is pretty basic inside the bag, which makes things easy to pack up when it’s time to head out. Additionally, the handles are wide enough for those with big hands and comfortable to use all day if you’ve got a few hours between hotel check-out and your flight and need to lug both bags around.

• The unique exterior is easy to find at baggage claim
• The telescopic handle is comfortable, even for long trips

• The wheels aren’t the best on uneven surfaces
• There’s no organizer specifically for dress clothing

Best Value

The CALPAK Ambeur 3-Piece Luggage Set comes with three cases: the carry-on, a medium case, and a large checked bag. Best of all, all three fit into one another for easy storage.

It comes in unique colorways, which we dig, as many carry on bags come in the same colors. There are shiny, vibrant, and earthy options. This doesn’t affect usage, but it allows you to find something that fits your vibe and is easy to find in the luggage carousel.

The bags are expandable, adding up to two inches of space when deployed. This works well for trips you plan on bringing extra things home, like food and souvenirs, or trips where you’re heavy on the way there with presents for loved ones.

The wheels on all three cases work well and are smooth, so you can confidently glide through the airport. We find the largest bag a bit harder to handle than the smaller sizes. That said, we haven’t tested a case that large that isn’t at least a little unwieldy, so we’re not knocking it too much.

• The bags are expandable so that you can fit more gear inside
• The wheels are very smooth in use

• The largest bag is a bit hard to handle due to its size
• The colorways aren’t for everyone, though you can always go with black

The Away Starter Set is basically a one-stop shop for travelers who love sleek design and no-fuss functionality. It usually bundles a carry on and a checked suitcase—two sizes that cover most kinds of trips. Away’s signature polycarbonate shell looks great and can take a beating, while the spinner wheels glide across airport floors with zero drama. Inside, the compression system keeps your gear locked down tight, and everything feels well-built and thoughtfully designed. It’s the kind of set that makes packing (and unpacking) feel a little less like a chore.

We dig how simple and streamlined this bundle is. It’s ideal for travelers who just want high-quality luggage that looks good and works well without a bunch of extra features. That said, you’re paying a bit for the name—there are cheaper sets with more pockets or included packing cubes. The Starter Set keeps things minimal, which some folks will love, but if you like extra organization or travel with a lot of tech, you might want to supplement it with accessories. Still, for an easy, stylish way to kick off your travel gear setup, this is a solid place to start.

• Durable, lightweight build that’s easy to roll and easy on the eyes.
• Clean design and lifetime warranty make it a dependable long-term pick.

• You’re paying for the brand’s sleek design and reputation.
• Minimal internal organization means you’ll want packing cubes or pouches.

Best hardside luggage set

The Carl Friedrik The Core Luggage Set is a two-bag set that fits into one another easily. This is handy for storage or surprising airport security when your bag inside a bag filled with chocolates is flagged for inspection.

The bags are very different sizes, with the Carry On coming in at 40 liters and the Large Check-In boasting a massive 90.9 liters. These may seem too far apart to make sense; however, we feel that most travelers only need a carry on or a checked bag and not much in between. Plus, you can add a travel backpack to your carry on luggage to make up some extra space if push comes to shove.

This luggage set is quite expensive for just two cases; however, when compared to the price of purchasing each separately, you’re saving a chunk of change. Plus, it’s made with premium materials. The cases are crafted from German-engineered Makrolon, which is durable and not too heavy, and the Hinomoto wheels are some of the quietest on the market. The bags are stylish, too, and match most occasions with ease.

• The Makrolon is highly durable and not too heavy
• There are just two cases, which is all most travelers need

• It’s still pricey for just two suitcases, though you do save a significant chunk of change by buying them as a set
• While the exterior is durable, it marks up fairly easily

Best Splurge

The Travelpro Business Class Set feels like it’s built for travelers who want to roll through the airport like they own the place. You get a carry-on, a medium check-in, a backpack, and a set of packing cubes—all designed to work together. The spinners glide smoothly thanks to Travelpro’s PrecisionGlide system, and the PowerScope handle feels sturdy when you’re weaving through a crowded terminal. The marketing terms are a bit tacky, but the usability at least back them up. The backpack’s padded laptop sleeve and quick-access pockets make it perfect for work trips, while the packing cubes help keep your clothing and gear organized no matter how chaotic your travel schedule gets.

We like that this setup feels cohesive—it’s like Travelpro took all the guesswork out of matching your gear. The whole set looks sharp and professional, and the brand’s “Worry-Free Warranty” adds peace of mind if you’re traveling often. On the flip side, it’s definitely an investment, so if you only need one bag, the full bundle might feel like overkill. And since these are soft-sided cases, they don’t offer the same protection as hard shells if you tend to pack fragile stuff. Still, for business travelers who value organization and a clean aesthetic, this set covers a lot of bases.

• Feels like a complete travel system with smart, matching pieces.
• Smooth wheels and sturdy handles make airport navigation a breeze.

• The full set costs a premium—it’s not for the occasional traveler.
• Soft sides won’t handle rough baggage treatment as well as hard-sided luggage.

From the image, it’s pretty simple to see how the two-piece Beis The Essentials Set fits inside itself. Where this luggage set stands out is in the combinations of what you can get

The Essentials Set allows you to choose any roller, Weekender, and dopp kit with a 15% discount on the total. This means you can get the size weekender, style of carry on, and the regular dopp kit that works best for you in one package at a discount. The weekenders are shoulder/crossbody bags that work well for use at the local market or on the airplane, the dopp kits are stylish and match the luggage, and the carry on meets our expectations for what rolling luggage should be, from the internal organization to the telescopic handle and wheels. And, since they’re sold individually, you can choose any of the colors you want.

While all the options are great, we recommend looking at the dimensions before purchasing. For example, the Weekender is wider than the Small Carry-On Roller, so it sits a little awkwardly on top while you roll it through the airport. Additionally, the Dopp Kit takes up roughly half the space in the Small Carry-On, so we recommend storing that in the Weekender. Also, make sure you have a lot of toiletries to bring or it could end up as wasted space.

All that said, if you don’t need three large pieces of luggage but are looking for a set that matches and will work for your next trip abroad, look no further than a Beis The Essentials Set.

• You can choose which carry on, weekender, and dopp kit you want
• All of the bags match each other well, ensuring continuity

• There’s no option to get two pieces of rolling luggage
• Though there’s a discount, the dopp kit prices are higher than some of our favorites, and it may be too large for some users
