Best wheeled travel bags and suitcases to make your next getaway a breeze (2024)

Antler

Best for: overall

From sets of three cases to overnight bags, Antler has a vast selection of premium luggage in a range of colours.

Offered in a selection of hues including a smart dark navy, the Clifton wheeled cabin bag features everything we could want from a suitcase. It is hand-finished, lightweight, and a colour-fast option, meaning that it will even retain its colour when it inevitably gets scratched. It also slots nicely into bigger bags in the same range making for easy storage of an entire set.

Away

Best for: distinctive style

Away's limited edition colours add something special to the travel luggage industry. They’re also famed for being some of the sturdiest and come with a range of extra features that you’ll soon grow to appreciate as an essential rather than a luxury.

The Bigger Carry-On has a sleek coastal blue hue on a durable polycarbonate shell and includes a matching luggage tag. Its 360° spinner wheels ensure a smooth ride, while the interior compression system and water-resistant laundry bag make it easy to pack it all in. It is available in a range of colours.

John Lewis

Best for: business

It’s hard to beat Samsonite if you’re someone who travels regularly and the brand’s Proxis 4-Wheel 55cm Expandable Cabin Case is a top choice for effortlessly carrying your belongings from A to B to C and then back again to A. The Proxis suitcase is a globetrotter’s dream, with a hidden section that expands to provide extra storage space, a TSA-approved lock for security, and four double wheels to ensure easy movement. Lightweight, and fitted with two carry handles, it’s also easily portable.

Amazon

Best for: seeing from a mile off

travelite’s bags come in a range of bright colours, making them a top choice for instantly spotting on the baggage carousel and wasting no time before heading off to your next destination. The brand’s Basics Fresh Travel Bag with Wheels won’t usually set you back more than £50 either, which means more money reserved for holiday souvenirs and other fun experiences. Despite its low price, this is a bag that promises to withstand a bit of wear and tear.

Amazon

Best for: easy storage

The Lifeventure Expedition Duffle Bag might look like an oversized bag but, when it’s not in use, it can easily be folded away. Think of it as something akin to Mary Poppins’ bag, travel edition. One of the best wheeled travel bags no matter where you’re going, this Lifeventure Expedition Duffle Bag features two large and robust, smooth-rolling wheels to make this rolling duffle bag easy to handle and manoeuvre when you’ve accidentally overpacked.

Amazon

Best for: packing extra souvenirs

Bon Goût’s Large Wheely Travel Duffel Bag is perfect for short or long breaks due to its ability to expand. This wheeled holdall is easy and convenient to use. It’s an excellent alternative to a bulky suitcase, while also allowing a little extra room thanks to its soft-rimmed nature.

Another budget-friendly option, it’s lightweight but durable, featuring an aluminium frame with a telescopic push button handle. There are also padded carry handles and an additional grab handle at the top of the bag to allow for easy handling when it’s not being wheeled.

Selfridges

Best for: going the distance

Eastpak makes a huge range of backpacks and, if you’re looking for a durable bag that promises to outlive many of your holiday memories, this is the brand to opt for. The Double Tranverz two-wheel large woven suitcase is a fusion of a duffle bag and suitcase, with a soft yet durable shell that promises to fit all of your clothes and possibly even the kitchen sink, too. It features a handle at the top and side, a telescopic handle at the top, a TSA lock with a three-digit combination, two zip pockets and two wheels.

American Tourister

Best for: shielding your stuff

The American Tourister Airconic 77cm Four-Wheel Large Suitcase has a hard shell, which means it’s among the best for keeping your belongings packed tightly inside without any unexpected damage on arrival.

Constructed from a resistant polypropylene outer shell that can handle the rigours of any corner of the world you’re visiting, the double 4-wheeled design gives you extra rolling comfort through the terminal.

Selfridges

Best for: compartmentalising

Tumi’s Tall 4-wheeled duffle packing case might not be the most budget-friendly suitcase around. But this holiday-ready bag is one of the finest if security and durability are two of your priorities when it comes to choosing a new travel partner. This oversized case is also one of the largest around, making it a great choice for long-haul travel.

The Alpha 3 four-wheel duffle bag is made from FXT ballistic nylon and is fitted with bumper rails. Inside, you’ll also find five individual sections - perfect for differentiating between clean and dirty clothes.

Argos

Best for: budget

If you’re not fussed about a bag with all the bells and whistles and just need something sturdy with wheels attached, Argos’ Large Grey Wheeled Holdall is a great choice. This spacious bag opens like a traditional bag, making it a better choice for unpacking and taking out just one specific item rather than aimlessly rooting around inside an expansive duffle that only opens from the top.

Featuring two wheels and a retractable tow handle, this holdall is perfect for carrying your belongings through an endless stream of airports. It’s made from durable, splash-proof material.
