PART of my job means I get to travel nearly every month, be it a UK city break or a beach holiday abroad.<\/p>\n

And with all that travel, I've found the best suitcase which has stood the test of time, no matter how battered it gets after checking it in.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Having also racked up nearly 50 countries, I've been travelling with the same suitcase for nearly five years.<\/p>\n

Away, which first launched in the US in 2016, followed suit with UK stores in 2017.<\/p>\n

I was one of the eager travellers<\/span> who bought their luggage following the change to their built-in battery packs, which allow you to pop them out before checking them in.<\/p>\n

And while they are popular in the US – plane cabins are full of Away suitcases – they are yet to be as popular in the UK.<\/p>\n

However, I am often singing the praise of mine which, bar a few ugly black marks on the pale blue exterior, is still in as good a condition as ever.<\/p>\n

And it's not just me – a whole wave of celebrities use it.<\/p>\n

Margot Robbie, Zoe Saldana, Emily Ratajkowski<\/span> and even Meghan Markle have all been spotted wheeling the famous luggage brand from airport to plane.<\/p>\n

Here's why I think the Away suitcases are worth every penny – and I'll never buy another brand.<\/p>\n

The quality<\/h2>\n

My hand luggage-sized bag has taken a beating, often trying to squeeze in as many souvenirs as possible into an already full bag.<\/p>\n

And I've seen it thrown across the conveyor belt after I checked it in, bouncing off the walls before I can get to it.<\/p>\n

Yet after five years, both the exterior and the zip remain unbroken, no matter how much they have been put through the wringer.<\/p>\n

And I wouldn't even worry if they would break – Away has a lifetime guarantee on fixes.<\/p>\n

The little extras<\/h2>\n

Inside are some extra functions you never knew you needed, but will be an absolute gamechanger.<\/p>\n

It has one side that is open for your packing, while the other side has a zip cover so you can put any looser items in there such as hats and scarves. <\/p>\n

It also has a detachable compression pad to pack everything down even more.<\/p>\n

This helps keep things so much more organised.<\/p>\n

It also has a built-in laundry bag which is waterproof, so you can throw your damp, dirty bikini in there without ruining your other clothes.<\/p>\n

And it has a built-in TSA lock for extra security too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The battery pack<\/h2>\n

While they no longer come built in, Away was one of the first suitcase brands to offer battery packs in them.<\/p>\n

They used to be screwed in, until rules in 2017 banned battery packs from being checked into the hold.<\/p>\n

They quickly changed them to be able to pop out – and mine charges my phone at least twice.<\/p>\n

While you can no longer buy suitcases with them built in, you can still buy the battery packs on the website for now.<\/p>\n
