8 Best Luggage Sets of 2026
By the Comredix review desk · Updated November 13, 2026 · Next review December 28, 2026 · 8 products compared
The short version
The Monos Carry-On and Check-In Set is the pick for most buyers: it pairs a 22 x 14 x 9 in. carry-on (6.60 lb, 39.9 L) with Monos' Check-In Medium and Check-In Large, lets you choose a different color for each piece, and costs $895 against $995 bought separately. The Samsonite Pivot 3 3 Piece Set is the clear value choice at $279.99 for three polycarbonate spinners that expand 1.5 in. and weigh 27.3 lb together, though its 22.5 in. carry-on is over the common US limit. Away's Jetsetter Bundle lists 225 L across three bags, with free repairs for five years. Travelpro's Maxlite Air V2 three-piece set at $540 and July's two-piece Classic Checked Set at $512 sit in the middle. Calpak is cheap for its price class but final sale, and Briggs & Riley and Delsey cost the most.
Short answer
Monos Carry-On and Check-In Set is the best luggage set for most travelers in 2026: its three hardside pieces include a carry-on Monos lists at exactly 22 x 14 x 9 in. with wheels, every piece carries a lifetime warranty, and the set costs $895 as of November 2026. Samsonite Pivot 3 3 Piece Set is the budget pick at $279.99 for three expandable spinners with a 10-year warranty, and Away's Jetsetter Bundle ($812) suits travelers who want five years of free repairs that include airline damage. Pick the Briggs & Riley Departure Set ($1,499) if you prefer softside bags and a lifetime guarantee that needs no receipt.
This list is for travelers buying matched luggage, usually a carry-on plus one or two checked suitcases in the same line and color. We compared eight sets from Monos, Samsonite, Away, Travelpro, July, Calpak, Briggs & Riley and Delsey using each brand's US store as shown on November 13, 2026. A set only saves money if you will use every piece, so check what is included: five of these are three-piece sets (carry-on, medium and large) and three are two-piece sets. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bags. Prices are the brand's own US prices on that date, many of them Black Friday sale prices, and they change often.

Price
$895 for the three-piece set on Monos' US store (regular $995) as of November 2026
Quoted from the Monos Carry-On and Check-In Set pricing page on November 13, 2026:
Sale price: $895 USD Original price: $995 USD
The Monos Carry-On and Check-In Set ranks first because it gets the most important piece right. Monos lists the Carry-On at 22 x 14 x 9 in. including wheels, the size American, Delta and United publish, at 6.60 lb with 39.9 L of space. The set adds the Check-In Medium and Check-In Large, both with polycarbonate shells, TSA-accepted locks and telescopic handles, and Monos says the smaller cases nest inside the large one. You can pick a color for each piece in the set builder. Bought separately the three cases cost $995; the set is $895 as of November 2026. A lifetime warranty comes with every purchase and unused items can be returned within 100 days. The trade-offs are price and carry-on space: the Samsonite Pivot 3 set costs $279.99, and Away's Bigger Carry-On holds 49 L. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bags.
What it does well
- +Carry-On matches the 22 x 14 x 9 in. size many US airlines publish
- +Lifetime warranty included with every Monos purchase
- +100-day trial on unused items in original packaging
Where it falls short
- −$895 is more than three times the Samsonite Pivot 3 set
- −Set saves $100 over buying the three pieces separately, a smaller cut than Away's 20%
- −Standard Carry-On has 39.9 L, less than Away's 49 L Bigger Carry-On

$279.99 on Samsonite's US store (comparable value $519.99) as of November 2026
Quoted from the Samsonite Pivot 3 3 Piece Set pricing page on November 13, 2026:
Now $279.99 , discount of 46%
The Samsonite Pivot 3 3 Piece Set is the value pick: Samsonite lists it at $279.99 as of November 2026, down from a $519.99 comparable value, for three polycarbonate spinners. Samsonite publishes every size and weight: a 22.5 x 14.5 x 9.5 in. carry-on at 6.5 lb, a 26.75 x 17 x 11.75 in. medium at 9.2 lb and a 30.75 x 20 x 13.5 in. large at 11.6 lb, 27.3 lb in total. Each case has a keyless TSA combination lock, 360-degree dual spinner wheels, compression straps inside and an expansion zipper that adds 1.5 in. The EazyHOOK on the back of the handle holds a handbag or shopping bag. Coverage is a limited 10-year global warranty, and Samsonite says it offers repairs in about 70 countries. The main drawback is the carry-on: at 22.5 x 14.5 x 9.5 in. it is over the 22 x 14 x 9 in. size many US airlines publish. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bags.
What it does well
- +$279.99 for three pieces, the lowest price on this list
- +Limited 10-year global warranty
- +Interior lining made with at least 95% recycled PET by weight
Where it falls short
- −Carry-on is 22.5 x 14.5 x 9.5 in., over the 22 x 14 x 9 in. limit

Quoted from the Away Jetsetter Bundle pricing page on November 13, 2026:
Jetsetter Bundle Regular price $812 Sale price $812 Regular price $1,015
Away's Jetsetter Bundle combines The Bigger Carry-On, The Medium and The Large from its Classic line for $812 as of November 2026, 20% off the $1,015 regular total. Away publishes 49 L, 72 L and 104 L for the three cases, 225 L in all. Every case has a polycarbonate shell, 360-degree wheels, a TSA-approved lock, a double-buckle compression pad, mesh pockets and a laundry bag, and the smaller cases nest inside the larger ones. Away's LifetimeCare coverage gives free repairs for five years, including airline mishandling, one replacement in that window if a repair is not possible, and repairs for the life of the bag after that. Two limits matter: The Bigger Carry-On is 23 x 15.4 x 9.4 in., over the 22 x 14 x 9 in. size many US airlines publish, and the three cases weigh 30.4 lb together. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bags.
What it does well

- +LifetimeCare coverage: free repairs for five years including airline mishandling, then repairs for life

Where it falls short

Quoted from the Travelpro Maxlite Air V2 Carry-On / Medium / Large Set pricing page on November 13, 2026:
Maxlite® Air V2 Carry-On / Medium / Large Set Regular price $580 Sale price $540
The Travelpro Maxlite Air V2 Carry-On / Medium / Large Set is $540 on Travelpro's US sets page as of November 2026, down from $580. Travelpro sorts its sets by line and calls Maxlite Air V2 the lightweight choice among its hardside collections, below the Platinum Elite flagship and the Platinum Reserve luxury line. Travelpro's product page lists a 100% polycarbonate shell with reinforced inner corner guards, a main compartment that expands 2 in., an integrated TSA lock set to 0-0-0 by default, two zippered divider panels and an ECOFAB lining made from recycled plastic bottles. The price undercuts the Away, Monos and Delsey three-piece sets by $270 or more. On the sets page we checked, several colors were sold out, and Travelpro notes that its softside Maxlite 5 line is lighter if weight is your main concern. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bags.
What it does well
- +$540 for three pieces, the second lowest three-piece price here
- +Travelpro describes Maxlite Air V2 as its lightweight hardside line
- +2 in. expansion on the main compartment
Where it falls short
- −Some colors of the set show as sold out on Travelpro's sets page
- −Travelpro says its softside Maxlite 5 line, not Maxlite Air V2, is its lightest
- −Per-piece sizes and weights are on each product page, not the sets page

Quoted from the July Classic Checked Set pricing page on November 13, 2026:
$ 640 U S $ 512 U S 20 % OFF
July's Classic Checked Set pairs the brand's Carry On with its Checked suitcase for $512 in a 20% off sale as of November 2026, against $640 regular. July lists 122 L of combined volume, so it suits one traveler or a couple who check one bag. Both cases use aerospace-grade German polycarbonate in a curved shell with anodised aluminium bumpers, SilentMove 360-degree double spinner wheels, YKK zippers and integrated TSA locks. Inside, the Y-Strap compression system and a hidden laundry bag keep worn clothes apart, and the handle stops at 20 heights. July backs the set with a limited lifetime warranty, 100-day returns and free shipping. The limits are scope and choice: there is no large case, the set ships in one color unless you add each suitcase separately, and July's CaseSafe tracker was listed as not available for this set. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bags.
What it does well
- +Limited lifetime warranty, 100-day returns and free shipping
- +Aluminium bumpers for extra protection on hard drops, per July
- +The two cases nest for storage
Where it falls short
- −Two pieces only; no large checked case in this set

Quoted from the Calpak Ambeur 3-Piece Luggage Set pricing page on November 13, 2026:
Ambeur 3-Piece Luggage Set - $865 $595
Calpak's Ambeur 3-Piece Luggage Set includes a carry-on, a medium and a large hardside suitcase for $595 as of November 2026, down from $865. Calpak lists 360-degree spinner wheels, TSA-approved locks and expandable packing space of up to 2 in. on each case, and offers the set in four core colors (black, silver, walnut and dark cherry) plus limited colors. Personalization costs from $35 per piece. The price is attractive for a three-piece set from a brand in this class, but there are two catches. First, Calpak marks the set as final sale at this price, so it is not eligible for returns or exchanges, unlike the 100-day policies at Monos, Away and July. Second, the set page does not show sizes or weights for each piece, so check the single-piece pages before buying if your airline is strict. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bags.
What it does well
- +$595 for three pieces, $270 under the $865 regular price
- +2 in. expansion on each case
- +Personalization offered from $35 per piece
Where it falls short
- −Final sale at this price: no returns or exchanges

Quoted from the Briggs & Riley Departure Set pricing page on November 13, 2026:
Departure Set $1,588.00 $1,499.00
The Briggs & Riley Departure Set pairs the Baseline Essential 22" Carry-On Expandable Spinner with the Baseline Medium Expandable Spinner, both softside, for $1,499 as of November 2026 against $1,588 regular. It scores highest on quality here for its documented features. CX Smart Packing Technology lets the checked case expand for up to 22% more space and compress back down. A built-in tri-fold garment folder with a foam roll bar keeps suits and dresses flat, and the Outsider handle sits outside the case so the packing floor stays flat. The Simple as That lifetime guarantee needs no receipt, which no other brand here offers. Value is the weak point: this two-piece set costs more than five times the three-piece Samsonite Pivot 3, it has no large case, and Briggs & Riley says returning part of a set voids the set price. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bags.
What it does well
- +Lifetime guarantee with no receipt needed
- +Garment folder holds full-length items such as suits and dresses
- +Free US shipping on orders over $99
Where it falls short
- −$1,499 for two pieces, the highest price on this list

CHATELET AIR 2.0 3-piece luggage set, angora Sale price $899.99
Delsey's Chatelet Air 2.0 3-Piece Luggage Set brings the brand's trunk-inspired line, which Delsey says draws on Parisian portes cochères, to a carry-on, mid-size and large case for $899.99 as of November 2026, 25% off $1,199.99. Delsey lists the pieces at 21.75 x 13.75 x 9.75 in., 26.25 x 17.75 x 11.25 in. and 30 x 20.75 x 12.75 in., all in the same polycarbonate shell, with its patented SECURITECH zip. Coverage is among the best here: a 10-year worldwide warranty and 100 days to return the set. Free US shipping applies on orders of $200 or more. The set ranks last on value because it costs about the same as the Monos set while its carry-on, at 9.75 in. deep, is over the 9 in. depth many US airlines publish. The page does not list piece weights. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bags.
What it does well

- +Free US shipping on orders of $200 or more
Where it falls short

Before you pick a product or a plan
Decide between two and three pieces
A three-piece set adds a large checked bag for long trips; a two-piece set is usually a carry-on plus one checked case. Calpak notes on its sets page that a 3-piece set suits overseas travel, while a light packer can manage with a 2-piece set. Monos, Samsonite, Away, Travelpro, Calpak and Delsey here are three-piece sets; July and Briggs & Riley are two-piece.
Check the carry-on in the set
The carry-on is the piece airlines measure at the gate. Monos lists its Carry-On at 22 x 14 x 9 in. including wheels. Samsonite lists the Pivot 3 carry-on at 22.5 x 14.5 x 9.5 in., Away lists The Bigger Carry-On at 23 x 15.4 x 9.4 in., and Delsey lists the Chatelet Air 2.0 carry-on at 21.75 x 13.75 x 9.75 in. If your airline enforces a 22 x 14 x 9 in. sizer, the Monos set is the safest match.
Compare the set price with single pieces
Set discounts vary. Monos sells the three pieces for $275, $345 and $375 on their own ($995) and the set for $895. Away's Jetsetter Bundle lists $812 against a $1,015 regular total. Briggs & Riley lists the Departure Set at $1,499 against $1,588 and says partial set returns void the offer.
Read the warranty and return terms
Monos and July include lifetime warranties, Briggs & Riley offers a lifetime guarantee with no receipt needed, and Samsonite and Delsey list 10-year warranties. Away covers free repairs for five years, including airline mishandling. Calpak's Ambeur 3-Piece Luggage Set is final sale at its current price and cannot be returned or exchanged.
Questions readers ask
- What is the best luggage set?
- Monos Carry-On and Check-In Set is the best luggage set for most travelers in 2026. It includes a carry-on Monos lists at 22 x 14 x 9 in. with wheels plus a medium and large case, all with a lifetime warranty, for $895 as of November 2026.
- What is the best cheap luggage set?
- Samsonite Pivot 3 3 Piece Set is the best cheap luggage set at $279.99 on Samsonite's US store as of November 2026. It includes three expandable polycarbonate spinners weighing 27.3 lb combined, with a limited 10-year global warranty.
- Is it cheaper to buy a luggage set than separate pieces?
- Yes, usually. Monos sells its three pieces for $995 separately and $895 as a set, and Away lists its Jetsetter Bundle at $812 against a $1,015 regular total. Check the return rules too: Briggs & Riley says partial set returns void the set offer.
- Should I buy a 2-piece or 3-piece luggage set?
- Buy a 3-piece set if you take long trips or travel as a family, and a 2-piece set if you mostly need one carry-on and one checked bag. July's two-piece Classic Checked Set holds 122 L combined, while Away's three-piece Jetsetter Bundle holds 225 L.
- Do luggage sets fit airline carry-on limits?
- Not always. Monos lists its set's carry-on at 22 x 14 x 9 in., but Samsonite's Pivot 3 carry-on is 22.5 x 14.5 x 9.5 in. and Away's Bigger Carry-On is 23 x 15.4 x 9.4 in. Check the carry-on size in any set against your airline's published limit.
- Which luggage set has the best warranty?
- Briggs & Riley has the broadest coverage here, a lifetime guarantee with no receipt needed. Monos and July include lifetime warranties, Samsonite and Delsey offer 10-year warranties, and Away gives five years of free repairs that include airline damage.
