Almost every major airline regulates their carry-on dimensions at around 22 to 24 inches, so if you’re looking for some new carry-on luggage that is affordable, popular and TSA-compliant…look no further!
With this list, you can maximize your space when travelling as to ensure there are no “Kevin!” moments once you’re ready for take off. That is of course assuming it’s 1994, and you don’t have a cellphone, which would completely nullify the entire plot of Home Alone.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves though! Here are the best pieces of carry-on luggage, and what they’re best for, to take your pick from:

1. For Extra Space: Travelpro Platinum Elite

It’s common practice to cram as much stuff into your carry-on no matter if it’s needed or not; you can’t waste the space. Luckily, this luggage by Travelpro is looking out for you.

A fold-out suiter, accessory pockets, and a removable wet-pocket for toiletries makes this luggage smarter than all of us. There’s even an external USB port (you’ll need a power bank for that) so you can stay charged while you’re in line or waiting to board.
It’s affordable, and comes with a lifetime warranty for those of us who throw our baggage around.

2. For The Organizer: Genius Pack Hardside Luggage

His, hers and mini-you (via Amazon.com)

Get yourself a single bag, or a set of three carry-ons if you’re looking for extreme organization. With compartments for socks, chargers and undergarments, you may never forget any item again.

This carry-on is made for hyper-efficiency weighing in at just 6.2 lbs. We weren’t kidding about extreme organization either; the Genius Pack comes with a permanent check list on the interior that stares at you in the face when you’re packing.

If you forget anything, that’s on you, don’t blame the luggage!


3. For the Budgeter: Samsonite Omni Expandable Hardside

Priced under $100, this Samsonite carry-on (you know, the one that starts with an ‘S’) provides value with the protection of a standard, hard-sided carry-on.

Jim Carrey Not Included (via Amazon.com)

The design is pretty straight forward, as this expandable carry-on comes in your choice of nine different colors.

If you’re simply looking to get from Point A to Point B without too much fuss, while properly protecting your belongings, this is the carry-on for you.


4. For the Fashion Forward: Delsey Paris Luggage

This ultra-light (4.7 lbs.) Delsey carry-on is designed with a few things in mind: to keep your belongings safe and tidy, while looking like you just stepped off the runway…the fashion-show kind.

Available in James Bond and Moneypenny (via Amazon.com)

Made from 100 per cent polycarbonate in ‘titanium’ or ‘dark pink’, you’ll notice the dual wheels that make your movements ultra-smooth instead of bulky and awkward.

As for the aforementioned security, look for the built-in (TSA-accepted) combination lock, as well as the ultra-durable zipper, that claims to be 41 times more resistant than a standard zipper.


5. For the Ultra-Cautious: Pelican Elite Carry-On

The water-tight Pelican Elite Carry-on sports a TSA-approved lock, automatic pressure-equalization valve and carrying handles on the top, bottom and side.

Your move, TSA (via Amazon.com)

The extreme security continues with pull latches and the ability to withstand water in ways you didn’t know luggage needed. This carry-on passed a submergence test under water for 30 minutes at a depth of one meter.

Even at it’s size this carry-on can withstand loads upwards of 1,500 lbs. Unfortunately that’s about 68 times the usual limit.

You might turn some heads with this one, with the expectation that something very important is inside, even if it’s only your Homer Simpson slippers.

Once you’re finished buying your new carry-on, be sure to double check the weight restrictions from whichever airline you’re travelling with, and don’t forget the consult the dreaded TSA checklist as well.

That means no liquids, no over-weight luggage, and no fireworks! They really ruin all the fun.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
