Monos is the number one suitcase brand we recommend, but Samsonite is the most popular luggage manufacturer in the world. Ultimately, which brand to choose depends on how you travel and what you prioritize.

Delsey offers timeless style and excellent durability, while Samsonite loads up on innovative features and modern design. The choice depends on what you prioritize in your luggage.

By planning ahead, choosing travel-ready clothing, and following these other packing tips, you can start your trip with confidence.

Carry-on luggage gets stowed away in the overhead compartment, while a personal item is a smaller bag that stays under the seat in front of you.

Weight limits for carry-on luggage can range from 11 to 40 lbs, depending on the airline. Do your homework to make sure your bag isn’t overweight.

Generally, you should arrive at the airport 2 hours before a domestic flight or 3 hours before an international flight, but that depends on the details of your trip.

Monos luggage is higher quality overall, but Béis is a great alternative that’s a bit cheaper and has more features.

CALPAK luggage is stylish and trendy, while Samsonite luggage is tried and true.

Travelpro luggage wins in build quality and warranty, but that doesn’t mean Samsonite is out of the running.

By knowing what to expect and preparing yourself, you can pack right, navigate the airport, and enjoy the exciting experience of flying for the first time.

Travel insurance is your last line of defense if something goes wrong on a trip—it pays for unexpected expenses like lost bags, cancelled flights, and medical emergencies. But not all policies are created equal.

The best gift for a hiker isn’t an essential piece of gear. It’s that little luxury that makes life on the trail that much more enjoyable.

Use the Uber Eats promo code EATS-PUOSQ at checkout to get $20 off your first two orders.

Rugged (but heavy) boots are the classic hiking footwear, but many people are now turning to breezy trail runners. The choice depends on your fitness and the terrain you’re tackling… oh, and your sense of style.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for travel insurance. Choosing the right policy depends on your age, health background, travel destination, and risk tolerance.

July earned its place as one of our top luggage brands because the anodized aluminum corner bumpers, redesigned spinner wheels, and lifetime guarantee give us confidence that these suitcases will last a very, very long time.

The Ride1Up Revv 1 blurs the lines between e-bike, moped, and motorcycle. If you’re throttle-happy and after a powerful, heavy-duty ride, this should be right up your alley.

The Aventon Aventure is a sleek, comfortable, and outright powerful fat-tire ebike. After extensive testing, I’m convinced it’s one of the best ebikes you can get for the money.

Monos’ combination of superior build quality and lower prices makes picking Monos luggage over Away an easy choice—unless you want a softside suitcase.

The Aer Travel Pack 3 is tough, compact, and packed with pockets and features. It’s ideal for anyone who travels with a laptop or other tech.
