Black Friday Luggage Deals 2026: The Carry-On Prices Worth Waiting For
Amazon luggage brands already hit their lows. Away, Monos and Béis save theirs for sitewide codes. Here's the Black Friday price each top carry-on has to beat.
Black Friday 2026 is Friday, November 27, and luggage is the rare category where the deals split cleanly in two. Brands sold mostly through Amazon, like Travelpro and Samsonite, already hit their lowest prices of the year this summer and in October. Direct-to-consumer brands like Away, Monos and Béis rarely discount outside a few sitewide sales, and Black Friday weekend is the big one. Know which kind of bag you want, and you know whether to wait.
Here's the price each carry-on on our Best Carry-On Luggage list has to beat.
The Amazon brands: the low is already on the record
Travelpro Platinum Elite 21" Expandable Carry-On Spinner
Ballistic nylon durability with genuine leather accents and dual USB charging.
Amazon affiliate · price subject to change
Travelpro Platinum Elite 21" (#1): $295. Our top-ranked carry-on sold for $295 at Amazon and Travelpro in late June, against a $390 list price. The Slickdeals post that flagged it cited CamelCamelCamel history showing that as the lowest price for the current model since 2023. A Black Friday price above $295 is a step backward.
Samsonite Freeform (#9): $84. Dealnews tracked the Freeform carry-on at $83.99 with Prime in June. 9to5Toys had it at $95 on the first day of October's Prime Big Deal Days. It's already a bargain bag at either price, so don't let a "60% off" badge talk you into paying more than $95.
The direct-to-consumer brands: wait for the code
Away The Carry-On
Polycarbonate shell with compression pads and minimalist design at a fair price.

Away The Carry-On (#5): about $206. Away took 25% off everything over Black Friday weekend in 2024, which Thrifty Traveler reported put its carry-on as low as $206, down from $275. Gear Patrol logged the same 25% sitewide offer in 2025. The carry-on did turn up on Amazon during October's Prime event, but Finding the Universe reported it sold out. The sitewide code is the reliable deal. If Away is your pick, wait.
Monos Carry-On Pro (#6): $221. Gear Patrol tracked it at $221, down from $295, during Monos' 2025 Black Friday sale. That's the price to hold out for.
Béis The Carry-On Roller (#7): 30% off. BestReviews reported 30% off Béis carry-ons on Cyber Monday 2025, which works out to under $190 on a $268 bag.
Where the deals are thinner
Briggs & Riley Baseline Essential (#3) discounts on its own schedule. It hit $329 at Amazon in January 2025, half its $659 list price at the time, per Slickdeals. Those drops come and go with retailer price-matching, not the holiday calendar. If you see it near half off any month, take it.
July (#4) has historically saved its deepest cuts for sets. Its past Black Friday offers centered on luggage sets and multi-bag orders rather than single carry-ons, so price one bag on its own before you count the savings.
Rimowa Original Cabin (#2) doesn't really play. Rimowa discounts are rare and unpredictable. Savings tend to come from retailer rewards or older colors, not markdowns. Buy it when you need it.
The call
If you want one carry-on this season, put a price alert on the Travelpro Platinum Elite at $295 and stop there. If you've already decided on Away or Monos, wait for the sitewide code and buy that weekend. For TVs, espresso machines and everything else, see our Black Friday 2026 guide. Checking a bag instead?

Common Questions
Black Friday is Friday, November 27, 2026, and Cyber Monday is November 30. Direct-to-consumer brands like Away and Monos have run their sitewide sales across that whole weekend in past years, while Travelpro and Samsonite prices on Amazon move whenever Amazon runs an event. Start tracking now so you know what a real drop looks like.
$295 or less for the softside 21-inch Expandable Carry-On Spinner. That's what it sold for at Amazon and Travelpro in late June 2026, against a $390 list price, according to a Slickdeals post citing CamelCamelCamel history. Anything above that is a worse deal than summer.
Yes, in recent years. Away took 25% off its full lineup over Black Friday weekend in 2024 and again in 2025, which put its standard carry-on as low as $206, down from $275. If Away is your pick, that's the number to wait for.
Rarely in any meaningful way. Rimowa discounts are uncommon and unpredictable, and savings usually come through retailer rewards, older colors or pre-owned pieces rather than straight markdowns. If you want the Original Cabin, buy it when you need it.
