Best Carry On Luggage for 2026 (Lightweight Bag Showdown)

Away Together w/ Nik and Allie just covered the reality behind lightweight carry-on luggage, and the difference between marketing and actual performance is wild. They tested nine different bags to see which ones hold up, featuring everything from the Osprey Ozone 4-Wheeled Carry-On and the Antler Lightest to the Travelpro Maxlite 5 and the Samsonite UpLIFT. It was interesting to see how the Travelpro Maxlite Air V2 and the Antler Soft Stripe compared side-by-side during their testing process. If you are tired of suitcase weight limits, this breakdown of how these specific models handle travel is a helpful watch.
