Samsonite Freeform Set

As Forbes Vetted’s senior travel editor, I oversee coverage on hotels, cruises, luggage and related travel accessories. I have been writing and editing travel content for over 7 years, during which I have visited 35 countries, stayed at numerous hotel properties and sailed on all types of cruise lines. Prior to joining Forbes, I was a senior editor at TripSavvy, editing robust destination guides and writing daily travel news and features. I have also served in editorial roles at ABC News and Good Morning America.

It offers the baseline conveniences you’d expect from a quality luggage set, including multi-direction spinner wheels, padded top and side handles and mesh interior pockets. While this set doesn’t include any additional features like a TSA-approved lock or designated laptop compartment, it’s a great, budget-friendly option that gets high marks from customers—it currently has hundreds of positive reviews on Amazon.

Monos is another popular travel brand that’s known for its versatile and lightweight luggage and travel accessories. Monos products have a simple, sleek design and a nice variety of color options, ranging from soft pastel shades to midnight black. This set comes with three suitcases (a carry-on and checked bags in two sizes) that are all constructed from durable polycarbonate and have a sturdy telescopic handle. The color-coordinated YKK zippers and gaskets add to the sleek design, while the built-in compression pads make it easy to pack larger items like a puffer jacket or thick sweater.
