Why We Love This Deal
Luggage seems to be a game of extremes: Whether you opt for a whole set of luggage or have committed to a well-rounded go-to suitcase, most of the time, you can expect to spend at least $100 on something of good quality. Those who want a more basic option for infrequent travels that won't cost too much should head to Amazon instead, where this bestselling rolling suitcase just dropped in price to less than $65.
Amazon Basics' 26-inch Hardside Medium Checked Luggage is now just $64 in two of its color options. This is a well-reviewed suitcase with a durable, telescoping handle, an expandable design, and smooth wheels, and the carry-on version is Amazon’s bestseller in the category.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Dimensions: 17.8 x 11.3 x 26.8 inches (including wheels)
- Color Options: 4, on sale in orange and navy
- Exterior: Scratch-resistant hard shell
- Interior: Includes a divider and three zippered pockets
- Best Use Case: Amazon recommends this luggage size for one or two-week trips
The suitcase moves on four spinning wheels, which is all but required for swimming through crowded airport terminals these days. For this deal price, its scratch-resistant hard shell exterior can be either a sleek navy blue or an orange that, outside of gameday at UT, will immediately catch your eye as it moves along the baggage carousel.
Amazon has done a notably good job creating the interior of this bag, too. An included divider and three zippered pockets will help keep you organized over the long run (Amazon recommends this luggage for trips between one and two weeks). Plus, you can even overstuff it somewhat as it has that expandability we see in luggage these days, gaining up to 15% interior space in a pinch.

What Shoppers Are Saying
If there's one thing shoppers are impressed by, it's how much you can fit into this medium checked bag. “One large zipped section holds about two weeks' worth of clothing,” one said, adding that they used the other section for larger items like shoes. It’s surprisingly easy to get everything in the bag and organized, even if you aren’t the sharpest travel planner.
Another who bought the orange confirmed that it was “easy to see in the sea of other colors for sure,” and described the color as “safety” orange, alluding to its high visibility. It's not a super common color for sure, and in an arena where being bright and bold is beneficial, that’s a good thing.
This Amazon Basics checked suitcase is $64, but only while this deal lasts. It’s perfect for your upcoming travels or even as a gift to a younger relative that you’re encouraging to return home for the holidays.
