Away luggage rarely needs an introduction — the hard-shell suitcases are everywhere in airport terminals — but the price tag can make people hesitate. Right now that hesitation is easier to justify away, thanks to a stack of active offers: sale prices of up to 20% off, bundle savings of up to $100, a referral scheme worth as much as $200, and a limited-edition Toy Story 5 collection for travelling families.

The autumn sale knocks up to 20% off some of the brand's better-known bags, including the Transit Canvas Tote, the Transit Canvas Weekender, the Train Case, the Sport backpack, the Racket bag and the Leather crossbody. No code needed — you just shop the sale section. If you're outfitting yourself from scratch, the bundle route is better value: three suitcases saves you up to $100, while pairing a suitcase with another bag or case takes $50 off. The best-selling Jetsetter bundle is currently $100 off, and themed sets like the Open Road and Dockside bundles are $50 off.

The Toy Story 5 collaboration is the eye-catching addition. It covers kids' backpacks, stadium bags, and carry-on and checked luggage featuring Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie and the Little Green Men. Character-themed sets — Sheriff, Star Command, Cowgirl, and Claw and Tech — qualify for the bundle deal too, so matching an adult suitcase with a kids' case and backpack knocks $50 off. Beyond the collab, the Family Travel collection includes space-maximising cases like The Medium Flex and The Trunk, plus diaper bags, crossbody bags and even pet carriers.

There are standing discounts worth knowing about as well. Students, teachers, veterans, active military members and medical staff get 10% off sitewide after verifying through ID.me. The referral programme gives your friend $40 off a first order of $125 or more, and credits you $40 once they've paid — up to five referrals, so $200 in total. A 10% welcome code for new email and text subscribers has run before but isn't live at the moment; signing up is the way to catch it when it returns.

On pricing, the brand's core pieces sit under $300: The Carry-On is $275 and The Bigger Carry-On is $295, both lightweight with compartments designed to make overhead-bin life simpler. Everything over $100 ships free, unused items can be returned or exchanged within 100 days online or at one of Away's 17 stores, and every suitcase carries a lifetime warranty on functional repairs. The company also ships in fully recyclable packaging and has been working more recycled material into its products, and Shop Pay offers interest-free instalments if you'd rather spread the cost.

If a code fails at checkout, the usual fixes apply: check for typos and stray spaces, confirm the code hasn't expired, make sure you've met any minimum spend, then clear your browser cache and refresh. Customer service can sort out anything else.

For anyone with a big trip coming up — or a family holiday where the kids need their own bags — this is a decent window to buy. The bundle maths beats any single-item discount, and the 100-day return window means you can test a case before fully committing. — Condé Nast Traveler
