11 Black Friday Luggage Deals Every Jet-setter Will Love
Black Friday, America’s best day to splurge on just about any item for sale anywhere, is November 29, 2024. But because this is America, the epic deals don’t stop after one day – if you shop online for travel gear you can take advantage of great offers through at least Cyber Monday (December 2) and, in many cases listed here, for up to a week after the “holiday” itself. Below is Matador’s roundup of the top Black Friday luggage deals, curated by our editors. In many cases, we’ve scribed detailed reviews of these products and use them regularly ourselves. In all, you won’t find a brand here that Matador’s team of global vagabonds doesn’t trust.
If you’re in need of a new piece of luggage, now is the time to bite the bullet and purchase one. Black Friday luggage deals are out and you can save hundreds of dollars on backpacks, tote bags, carry-ons, and check-in suitcases if you buy from one of the following brands. Even the most expensive and snazziest brands out there are participating in the sale, including AWAY, Paravel, and Roam, so you’d better get on it.
We hope you love the luggage and bags we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to make a purchase.

Carl Friedrik luggage and travel accessories –
30 Percent Off the entire store
Matador tested the Carl Friedrik Carry-On X earlier in 2024 and came away impressed with its build quality, organization, and space optimization. At nearly $600 before the 30 percent discount, it’s a pricey piece of luggage – but worth it for those who travel regularly for work or who earn their frequent flier status each year. Not only is the carry-on 30 percent off from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, but Carl Friedrik’s entire site is. This means you can snag the Check-In or a carry bag at the same discount, and maybe add a travel wallet or some packing cubes just for good measure.
