The Best Luggage Sets

Courtesy of Away

A quality luggage set is a worthy expenditure no matter how often you travel, especially since you can use each bag on its own – not just as a set – depending on the trip and your needs. While many brands offer full luggage sets for one price, others sell each bag individually, allowing you to customize your purchase.

Upgrade your travels with one of these luggage sets, all of which are highly rated and have been tested and reviewed by our team of experts.

Best Overall: Away The Carry-On and The Medium

Best expandable: briggs & riley essential 22" carry-on expandable spinner and medium expandable spinner, best lightweight: july carry on light & checked light classic set, best for international travel: delsey paris helium aero 3 piece set, best budget: amazon basics softside spinner suitcases, best luxury: carl friedrik the luggage set.

• Best for Families: COOLIFE Luggage 4 Piece Set

(Note: Prices and availability were accurate at the time of publication; they may fluctuate due to demand and other factors.)

Price: $570 or less

If you've ever considered The Carry-on by Away , we recommend bundling it with The Medium (or The Large or The Trunk , depending on your travel style). Not only will you be investing in the best luggage set on the market, but you'll actually save $50 by purchasing a carry-on and a checked bag at the same time.

Away luggage is known for its featherlight yet indestructible design – as well as the sleek aesthetic and interior storage features, including zipped mesh pockets and compression for maximizing space. Each piece comes with a luggage tag and laundry bag.

What our editors say:

In addition to The Everywhere Zip Backpack (which fits neatly under an airplane seat), I've found that using one or both of these bags has been more than enough luggage for my travel needs. – Amanda Norcross, Senior Content & SEO Strategist

Courtesy of Briggs & Riley

Price: $1,458 or less

Whether you're a heavy packer and/or looking for luggage that can expand if needed, Briggs & Riley is the top choice. Its 22" Carry-On Expandable Spinner and Medium Expandable Spinner feature a patented system that allows them to significantly expand and compress with the touch of a button. The soft-sided bags are also designed to keep clothing wrinkle-free with garment folders, cinch-down garment panels and the brand's signature Outsider handle, which is an exterior-mounted design that creates a flat packing surface.

Other features include self-repairing zippers, impact-resistant corner guards and a PowerPocket for charging devices on the go. One of the best luggage brands on the market, Briggs & Riley stands by its products with a lifetime guarantee.

The expandability and overall quality of this luggage is unmatched. Although expensive, this is one of those rare situations where the price is right. – Amanda Norcross

Courtesy of July

Price: $505 or less

The July Carry On Light weighs in at 3.9 pounds (the lightest double-wheeled suitcase on the market), and the checked case is 7 pounds, making it our top pick for the lightest luggage set. Constructed with durable aerospace-grade German polycarbonate, this hard-sided combo doesn't sacrifice quality or functionality in order to weigh less.

Both pieces have a three-stop telescopic handle, double spinner wheels and integrated TSA locks. The interior has a stain- and water-resistant lining and zipped mesh dividers to keep contents from shifting. When you're not on an adventure, the carry-on size nests within the checked size to save storage space.

Having a suitcase that doesn't start out too heavy is extremely important to me. I've tried multiple different types and styles over the years, and this set from July is far superior to any other lightweight options I've tried. – Rachael Hood, Senior Editor

Courtesy of DELSEY PARIS

Price: $579.99 or less

This DELSEY PARIS Helium Aero three-piece hard-sided luggage set features a large checked bag, a medium checked bag and a carry-on. The 19-inch spinner fits within the strict luggage size requirements on the majority of international airlines, making it an excellent option for those who only need to travel with a carry-on. The 25-inch and 29-inch checked bags offer many of the same features as the carry-on, just with more room to store clothes and accessories.

All of these luggage pieces are lightweight with a durable polycarbonate exterior shell, a TSA-approved lock and smooth double-spinner wheels. There are tie-down interior straps on one side of each bag and a mesh pocket enclosure on the other. The bags are expandable (in case you need to squeeze in just a bit more stuff), and the carry-on provides an easy-to-access front pocket for important paperwork or a laptop up to 15.6 inches.

The lightweight and sleek DELSEY PARIS Helium Aero luggage set is a great addition to any globe-trotter's luggage arsenal. I know I can travel with the carry-on and fit it into the overhead bin no matter where I'm going because of its slightly smaller measurements. However, even though it's smaller, it can accommodate an impressive amount of clothes, shoes and accessories, and its interior straps and organizational pockets make it easy to use. I love the glossy and textured exterior, and it has held up incredibly well with no dents or dings. – Erin Evans, Managing Editor

Erin Evans | U.S. News

Price: $191 or less

The Amazon Basics line of luggage is the best bang for your buck on the market – you can't really beat three reliable suitcases for less than $200. This soft-sided luggage set includes a small 21-inch carry-on, a medium 25-inch checked bag and a large 30-inch checked bag. The bags are durable and feature a top-load design with a large interior zippered pocket and compression straps to keep everything snug. There are handles on the top, side and bottom to allow for easy placement in overhead bins, in cars or on luggage scales.

The luggage set is available on Amazon Prime, so if you need quality, affordable luggage in a pinch, you can get it shipped to you quickly.

This affordable soft-sided luggage is a steal – the quality is excellent. The wheels (very smooth) and zippers (durable and easy to zip) are particularly impressive for an Amazon bag. – Erin Evans

Price: $1,085 or less

Courtesy of Carl Friedrik

If you're looking for sleek, understated luxury, this set is just the ticket. These suitcases have a durable aluminum frame; a tough yet classy polycarbonate hardshell exterior; and Italian leather details. The Carry-on X has an integrated front pocket for your laptop, travel documents and other quick-find essentials. On the inside, there's a compression pad and compression straps to hold your items in place and maximize space. Both pieces have a sturdy telescoping handle, silent spinner wheels and integrated TSA locks.

Combining classic styling with durable materials, Carl Friedrik luggage is ideal for travelers seeking the finer things in life. From leather details to luxury accents and the way these suitcases glide along, if you want a sophisticated set, this is it. – Rachael Hood

Best for Families: Coolife Luggage 4 Piece Set

Courtesy of COOLIFE

Price: $199.99 or less

Not only can the Coolife Luggage 4 Piece Set accommodate the whole family's belongings, but it's also one of the best luggage deals you'll find. The hard-sided luggage set has earned nearly 30,000 reviews and an average 4.6-star rating on Amazon for its lightweight design, easy-to-use TSA locks and overall quality at a surprisingly affordable price.

Inside each suitcase you'll find packing straps to secure clothing as well as zippered pockets for organizing accessories and other items. With two carry-on sizes (the 16-inch and 20-inch) and two checked bags (the 24-inch and 28-inch), several or all family members can each have their own bag.

You really can't beat the price of this four-piece luggage set (which often has an Amazon coupon available at checkout). The colors, which are even more vibrant in real life, also make it easy to locate your luggage at baggage claim. – Amanda Norcross

Why Trust U.S. News Travel

To determine the best luggage sets, our team of travel experts tested carry-on and checked luggage pieces from a range of price points. We tested their wheels on every type of surface from moving walkways to cobblestones, packed them with a variety of clothing and essentials, carried them on planes, checked them on overseas flights and more. We combined our test findings, a comparison of unique features and our travel expertise to curate this list.

It’s tough to get comfortable—much less sleep—on a long-haul flight, especially if you’re stuck in coach. And a thin, possibly dirty airplane blanket isn’t much help. Give yourself a fighting chance by bringing your own soft, cozy travel blanket from home instead.

Below are the best travel blankets at a variety of price points. Many that can also double as a scarf, poncho, or pillow. Stuff one into your carry-on for a more comfortable flight.

Parachute Merino Travel Kit

This kit from Parachute includes not only a luxe travel blanket made of fine merino wool, but also a matching eye mask and a carrying kit. The elegant design and antimicrobial (and therefore anti-odor) properties of the merino wool make this one of the better luxury travel blanket options. 

9 Travel Kits That Will Make a Long Flight Bearable

E Marie Travel Packable Travel Blanket

This generously sized travel blanket from E Marie Travel , measuring 82 by 36 inches, was chosen by Oprah for her 2019 Favorite Things list. You can use it as either a blanket or a scarf, then pack it into its own carrying case. It’s machine washable for easy care between trips. 

Cocoon CoolMax Blanket

The CoolMax Blanket is made of a lightweight material that breathes well and wicks away moisture. It comes in a wide variety of colors, folds up into a compact drawstring carrying pouch, and is machine washable.

White and Warren Travel Wrap

For a luxury travel blanket that also serves as an ultra-soft scarf, try the White and Warren Travel Wrap . It’s pricey, but that’s because it’s made of 100 percent cashmere that feels indulgent and looks elegant in any travel situation. One of White and Warren’s bestsellers for more than two decades, it comes in 19 different shades. 

7 Expert Airplane Seat Hacks to Boost Comfort on Long Flights

Comfort Plus 3-in-1 Premium Travel Blanket

Made of soft microfleece, this affordable three-in-one item can be used as a travel blanket, a pillow, or a neck roll. It folds away into a carrying pouch that can be strapped to the handle of your suitcase or personal item for easy carrying. 

Zestt Organics Cotton Travel Set

This travel set from Zestt Organics features a matching organic cotton travel blanket and eye mask, complete with a carry bag that attaches to your luggage handle. The set comes in your choice of four classic colors: navy, charcoal, light gray, or birch. 

Travelrest 4-in-1 Premier Class Travel Blanket

Versatile and reasonably priced, the Travelrest 4-in-1 blanket is designed in a pullover poncho style, so it won’t slide down while you’re drifting off on the plane. It’s made of plush fleece that always feels soft, and it has a zipper pocket where you can stow small items during a nap. Fold it up into its stuff pouch to use it as a pillow for your neck, head, or lower back. 

9 DIY Ways to Upgrade Economy Class

World’s Best Cozy-Soft Microfleece Travel Blanket

If you’re looking for a comfy fleece travel blanket at a bargain price, consider this option from World’s Best . Made of machine-washable polyester, this blanket measures 60 by 50 inches and is warm without being bulky.

Sofia Cashmere Romagnia Suede Travel Set

Looking to splurge? Treat yourself to the cashmere travel blanket, eye mask, and zippered carrying case that make up the Romagnia Suede Travel Set . This indulgent kit will make you feel like you’re in first class even if you’re stuck in a middle seat in coach. 

BeWell Packable Travel Blanket

For an affordable, eco-friendly option, try the BeWell Packable Travel Blanket . It’s made of 100 percent bamboo fiber, one of the more sustainable fabrics available, and is both soft and lightweight. It zips into its own carrying pocket. 

Ridiculously Comfortable Travel Clothes That Don’t Sacrifice Style

Etsy Personalized Travel Blanket

Add your name or initials to personalize this plush travel blanket from seller MissMarisasMonograms on Etsy. The blanket can be used as a pillow when it’s folded into its carrying case, and is made of lightweight polyester. This makes a great gift for yourself or a frequent-traveler friend.

Pavilia Fleece Travel Blanket Pillow

Unfold this fleece travel blanket to keep you warm on a plane, or fasten the zippers on each side to turn it into a pillow or hand warmer. Choose from various solid-colored options or pick up the blanket in a cozy-looking red plaid.

We're always impressed by Away's luggage , and the popular travel blanket is no exception. There's no need for a carrying case because the blanket is designed with a built-in carrying strap and folds compactly into itself for easy transport; however, folding it back up after use can be a little difficult. The blanket features three pockets to keep your belongings secure and your feet warm while you wear it (Note — if you're taller, you may not find using the foot pockets to be practical because it will pull the blanket down). One Textiles analyst who has tried this blanket says the material feels smooth and loves that it's made using 37.5 technology, which provides temperature regulation for a super comfortable feel. Plus, it's compatible with the brand's comfy neck pillow — a snap system connects the two together, allowing the blanket to hang from the pillow for hands-free use.

This lightweight travel blanket is a favorite on Amazon with thousands of five-star reviews. And at only $8, it's a total steal! We appreciate how airy the blanket is and how easily it can be rolled into a compact size for packing. Reviewers say it's the perfect size lap blanket to keep in the car or take on a plane, and although it's thin, they love how "warm and toasty" it still is. Because the blanket is so thin, it may not hold up well in the wash; some reviewers experienced fraying hems and pilling.

This plush fleece blanket folds down into a small size for easy travel, and it comes with a carrying pouch made of the same soft material. Plus, when you put the blanket into the carrying case, it doubles as a pillow! Our Lab experts are impressed by the great value of the blanket because, along with being convertible, it's also designed with a strap across the back to slide onto your luggage handle, making it simple to transport around the airport. You have the option to use the carrying strap and included carabiner to connect it to your bag, as well. It's important to note that some reviewers have had issues with the zipper breaking after repeated use.

Rumpl's NanoLoft blankets are made of performance materials that feel silky smooth and warm like a sleeping bag. The brand's latest version, the NanoLoft Flame, is designed with a clip to wear around your neck for hands-free use and flame resistant material on one side, so you won't have to worry about your blanket getting in the way while you're gathered around the campfire. A Lab analyst said she loves the water repellent abilities of the blanket; when she spilled water on the fabric, it rolled right off the surface. She also said the blanket is ultra light and loves how compact it is — it fits perfectly into a carry-on bag but can be difficult to pack back into its carrying pouch after using.

Hopping into a cold car and waiting for it to warm up is miserable, but thanks to Stalwart's heated car blanket, you'll never have to freeze in the car again . This pick warms when plugged into a cigarette lighter, and it has 10,000 five-star reviews on Amazon and is loved by users who say it's great for everything from camping trips to running errands to emergency situations when the heat stops working in your car. The 96-inch cord is long enough for you to move the blanket around the car comfortably, but may not be long enough to extend outside of the car. Even still, the fuzzy fleece material will keep you warm regardless. Textiles analysts recommend using with caution because some reviewers have experienced issues with the blanket wiring overheating and melting the fabric.

If you're looking for a luxurious travel experience from the airport to the resort, Parachute's Merino wool set complete with matching eye mask, carrying case and blanket is the perfect pick to help you achieve just that. The online brand is a favorite of GH analysts who love the brand's percale sheets . Lab pros say that although the set is made of wool, it's not itchy. Merino is a fine wool fiber that actually feels smooth and soft and keeps you extra warm. It is dry clean only, so it's more high maintenance than our other picks, and it's on the pricier end, but the brand offers free returns for up to 60 days so you can send it back if you don't love it.

Bedsure offers quality bedding for an awesome value, including this fleece throw blanket , which our analysts fell in love with after testing it out in Lab, enough so that it won a 2022 Best Bedding Award . The synthetic microfiber fleece material feels so silky and smooth and, according to testers, it's just as soft after being washed. However, some users have experienced shedding with repeated use and after washing. Although it's meant to be a throw blanket, it's thin enough that you can pack it up to take anywhere. And it looks good enough to drape over your couch or bed at home or at your travel destination. You can choose from 26 fashion and neutral colors to match your luggage, and if you want to share the blanket with a travel partner, there are larger sizes available.

For less than $40, you can have everything you need to stay comfortable on your next trip, including a neck pillow, an eye mask, ear plugs and a travel blanket. Our experts love the thoughtful design of each piece — the travel blanket folds into a carrying case for easy transport, the eye mask is contoured to keep pressure off of the eyes and the neck pillow is made of squishy memory foam and has a washable cover. Reviewers love this set for long flights but warn that the dense memory foam pillow takes a while to decompress to its intended shape, so be sure to give it some time to expand before you travel.

Laguna Beach Textile Company Picnic & Outdoor Blanket

If you're planning on a beach trip but aren't planning on splashing around, this beach blanket is great for lounging. We love that it's dual-sided with a soft fleece upper fabric that's comfortable to sit or lie on and a durable waterproof bottom to keep you from getting wet. It rolls into a compact size and fits into a carrying case that you can pack in your beach tote or a carry-on bag. Just note, the fleece is not absorbent, so it won't be helpful with drying off after a swim like a standard beach towel would.

How we choose the best travel blankets

At the Good Housekeeping Institute, our Textiles Lab experts test blankets of all kinds, from duvet inserts to weighted blankets . In our most recent evaluation, we tested over 30 blankets in Lab and with over 75 consumer testers, collecting hundreds of data points for analysis. We used our experiences and expertise from testing blankets to help us choose the best travel blankets specifically, especially considering the materials to make sure we’re recommending comfortable and durable options, along with size and weight to make sure they’re easy to tote.

What to look for when shopping for the best travel blankets

With so many travel blankets to choose from, it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you. Here are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for one:

✔️ Material: A comfortable material makes for a comfortable blanket. If you're looking for an affordable travel blanket that's lightweight and warm, try fleece or a synthetic microfiber made of polyester. Nylon fabrics are lightweight, durable and smooth, which makes them good for outdoor activities. Merino fibers are warm and soft, not scratchy, but they are on the pricier end. Natural fibers like cotton and linen aren't typically quite as warm but are breathable.

✔️ Size: When it comes to travel blankets, it's important to review listed product dimensions before making a purchase. You want something that's large enough to cover you for warmth but also something that's small enough to pack in your bag (and meet airline weight restrictions if you're flying). Most of our picks are around 50 inches wide and 1 pound.

✔️ Features: Many blankets are designed with extra features. A case or pouch keeps your blanket compact for travel; an attached loop is helpful for carrying the blanket on your trip; snaps or clips at the neck allow you to use the blanket hands-free and added pockets provide space to store your belongings while you're on the go.

✔️ Care: S ome luxurious fabrics and performance materials require more intensive cleaning, and some are even dry clean only. However, if you're planning to use your travel blanket often or get it dirty outdoors, it's good to look for one that's easy to clean and machine washable.

5 Travel Kits that Will Actually Help You Sleep on a Plane

By Mara Balagtas and Andrea Whittle

Blessed be the person who can fall asleep sitting upright while wrapped in a flimsy layer of polyester blanket that only covers approximately 1/3rd of the length of their legs. The rest of us generally need a little more help, usually in the form of prescription pharmaceuticals, 1-2 miniature bottles of cheap chardonnay, or a swath of thick cashmere and something lavender scented. For the first two, you're on your own, but we've rounded up some of the coziest combinations of eye masks, travel blankets, and all-natural sprays, teas and potions that make falling asleep on an airplane a little easier (and way more pleasant).

Sleeping Beauty

Tuck a few nighttime beauty essentials into this zip-up travel kit, which includes a crazy soft merino wool blanket and eye mask. Even if you don't manage to actually fall asleep, this rich night treatment will at least make it look like you did.

Madewell x Parachute travel kit ($130, madewell.com ); Herbivore Botanicals Moon Fruit Superfruit Night Treatment ($58, dermstore.com ).

100% Softness

A few spritzes of Deep Sleep's herbal spray will make the tiny pillow they give you feel practically spa-like (we like to bring our own mini pillowcases to makes things even comfier). And for the coziest possible airplane outfit, just throw your favorite sweater over Equipment's cashmere and cotton travel set, which comes with a matching eye mask.

Equipment Cosette Travel Set ($159, ochardmile.com ); This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray ($29, dermstore.com ).

First Class (Almost)

This pale pink all-cashmere set comes with its own pillow and a thick pair of socks. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to this mini portable diffuser (you can just perch it on your tray table, no plug-in required) and it's almost like you're in first class. Almost.

Morgan Lane Sleepy gift set ($528, farfetch.com ); ZAQ Travel Aromatherapy essential oil diffuser ($19.99, amazon.com ).

Easy Does It

We love this fuzzy mask-and-blanket set. It's machine washable, too, so you can throw it in the laundry with everything else as soon as you unpack. If an herbal tea helps you calm down better than a couple of drinks, bringing your own (this one is packed with soothing lemon balm and mango flower) is key. Just bring a travel thermos and ask the flight attendants for some hot water when they come around with the drink cart.

There is maybe nothing more over-the-top than an airplane pillow that costs about as much as a business class seat. But when you combine the softest possible cashmere neck support with an all-natural, sleep-inducing Melatonin/Vitamin B6/Calcium supplement, you're guaranteed at least a couple of hours of snoozing.

Comfortable Airplane Travel: 25 Products For Your Next Flight

With little leg room, fuller cabins, and uncomfortable seat pitches it can sometimes be hard on airplanes to travel in comfort. Flying can be a pain, but it doesn’t have to be— with the right accessories and preparation kit, it’s possible to actually enjoy flying. Trust me!

Sometimes it’s totally worth it to spend a little bit more in order to get a lot of added comfort. The right sleep mask, appropriately noise-reducing headphones, and a neck pillow (so that you’re not nodding off on your neighbor’s shoulder) can make all the difference.

You might have already read about my things to do on a plane during a long flight to cure boredom and now here are some of my favorite products that can help you too.

Travel Kits, Accessories and Airplane Products to Help You Travel in Comfort on Your Next Flight

Travel Toothbrush

Go Sonic $18.99

A travel toothbrush can keep your breath fresh as a daisy on those long flights and while traveling. The Grey Go Sonic toothbrush by Pop Sonic has two speeds and vibrating action producing 15000-30000 brush strokes per minute, your teeth won’t know what hit ’em.

REUSABLE SNACK BAGS

Wovtary $13.99

If you are some who likes to bring your own snacks on the plane, say goodbye to wasteful one-time-use plastic bags and say hello to the Wovtary Reusable Sandwich Bags. These bags are made of PEVA and silicone, so they’re not only eco-friendly, but also waterproof and hygienic.

Hydration Mist

Honest Beauty $16.99

Airplanes can dry your skin and if you want to travel in comfort a little face refresh is in order. The Honest Beauty Elevated Hydration Mist is here to quench your thirsty skin. Plus, the relaxing scent is the perfect mood booster for any time of day.

Collapsible Water Bottle

Vapur $11.28

It’s so important to stay hydrated while you’re flying, which is hard to do with those limited plastic cups of water. It’s always a good idea to bring your own refillable water bottle and we think that the Vapur Eclipse collapsible water bottle is a great one. This flexible bottle hold 23 ounces of your favorite liquid, and is foldable, portable, reusable, durable, freezable, dishwasher safe AND BPA, odor and taste free.

NOISE CANCELING HEADPHONES

When pups fly: BARK Air, the world's first airline for dogs, take first flight

Bark air says that it has taken the 'white glove experience typical of a human’s first-class experience and redirected all that pampering to pooches.' that experience comes at a cost..

The first jet charter company in the world in which every passenger is a VIP (very important pup) is now off the ground.

BARK Air , launched by dog toy company BARK in partnership with a jet charter service, is a luxury airline for man's best friend that transports dogs of all sizes along with their owners “in comfort and in style,” CEO Matt Meeker said in a video provided by Reuters that takes the public behind the scenes of the new airline.

"We’re here to revolutionize flying for dogs," says BARK Air's website.

Tickets sold out for BARK Air's first flight , which took off at 4 p.m. ET from New York, headed to Los Angeles. And flights are filling fast for the month of June.

Here's what you need to know about the new airline, including how much flights cost.

Dogs take first Bark Air flight

BARK Air shared details of the company's first flight on Thursday in an Instagram post.

"Right now, at an altitude of 30,000 feet, there is a flight filled with dogs. Unlike any flight before it, these dogs are not merely an afterthought, nor are they treated as cargo or a burden to the crew and fellow travelers. Here, dogs are the foremost priority," the company posted.

BARK Air continued to say that the effort took 10 years, "but we are finally confident that we can provide all dogs with the air travel experience they deserve: one that puts them first."

One user commented that "this really is the pawfect flight!" Another said: "We woof to see this."

BARK Air's prices aren't cheap

Pet owners can expect to pay $8,000 for a one-way international flight and $6,000 one way for a domestic flight that covers both them and their dog.

For now, routes will serve the New York City metro area via Westchester County Airport (HPN), with flights to the Los Angeles area via Van Nuys (VNY) and London, England via Biggin Hill (BQH), according to BARK Air's website.

What to expect flying BARK Air

The company says that it has taken the “white glove experience typical of a human’s first-class experience and redirected all that pampering to pooches.”

Meeker said that the airlines caters everything to the dog, "trying to lower their anxiety and their stress, so they have the most comfortable, fear-free experience on an airplane."

Food and water are provided for the pooches, and there's "even a spa treatment that happens in air," Meeker said.

BARK Air says that a concierge will learn a dog's temperament and sensitivities before the flight for the best placement on the plane. Dogs will not be caged or on leashes but will be free to sit on the seat, their human, a bed or wherever comfortable, the company says.

There are designated areas before flights for dogs to go potty and emergency pads will be available during flights.

How many dogs can fit on a flight?

Each flight fits 15 dogs and their humans, according to BARK AIR's website, but it never sells more than 10 tickets per flight. Space while flying is important to how animals roam, the company says.

Though there are additional tickets available if more than one human needs to accompany a dog, kids are not allowed to fly BARK Air. Each passenger must be at least 18 years old.

Bark Air, a new airline for dogs, set to take its first flight

By Megan Cerullo

Updated on: May 23, 2024 / 10:57 AM EDT / MoneyWatch

Bark Air, a new airline that puts dogs before their human companions, will take its first flight Thursday. Its sold-out maiden voyage will depart New York for Los Angeles at 4:00 p.m. EST. 

Bark, a pet company founded in 2011 that sells dog food and other products, announced the new aviation experience for canines in April. It's the second air travel service to market itself as catering to pets before human passengers, recognizing how stressful and uncomfortable commercial air travel can be for animals . United Kingdom-based public charter operator K9 jets also lets passengers' pets travel next to them in the aircraft cabin, versus in crates in commercial aircraft cargo holds.

"We are excited to take the insights we've learned over the years to create an experience that is truly dog-first, which is drastically different from just accepting dogs – from the ground to the skies," Bark co-founder and CEO Matt Meeker said in April. "We believe this initiative will elevate awareness of our brand's mission and values, introduce more dog lovers to the Bark family, and help enrich the lives of dogs and their people around the world." 

The first flight from New York to Los Angeles Thursday is sold out, according to Bark's booking website. The company said it launched the air travel experience to make long-distance travel more comfortable for dogs that don't fit under the seats in front of passengers on commercial aircraft. 

"Too often, dogs are denied travel, confined to a duffle bag, or endure the stress of flying in cargo," the company said in announcing the flights in April.

Bark Air says it will offer "white paw service" to its canine customers — who'll even get to socialize with other dogs in what the company calls a "dog-centric" cabin configuration. Like first-class human passengers, dogs on board will be offered treats, noise-canceling ear muffs, a beverage of their choice and other surprises, the company said. 

Initially, the service will fly between the New York City metro area and Los Angeles, as well as from New York to London. More routes will be added soon, the company said. 

Bark Air will operate as a public charter service, flying on spacious Gulfstream G5 jets. It does not own or operate any aircraft. Each dog ticket comes with a pass for one human. Families may also purchase additional passes. Children under the age of 18 are not permitted aboard. There are no size or breed restrictions for dogs. 

The service doesn't come cheap. A one-way flight from New York to Los Angeles in June costs $6,000 for one dog and one human. A New York to London ticket costs $8,000. 

Meeker acknowledged the service's high cost in a May letter, but said he expects prices to come down as demand climbs.

"This is cost-prohibitive for most families, but less expensive than most options today. And this is also how most innovative products and services began," he said. "Televisions, telephones, VCRs and DVD players, to automobiles, train and boat travel, and, yes, even human air travel — all of these started with very high prices until demand was proven and the costs could be brought lower by serving the masses."

The 11 Best Carry-on Travel Backpacks of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

These spacious and comfortable carry-on backpacks can easily replace a suitcase.

Travel + Leisure/Joy Kim

Our best value backpack  — the Matein Travel Backpack (in select colors) — is further discounted right now for Memorial Day weekend.

Skip the stress of checking a bag or lugging a traditional carry-on suitcase around an airport by adding a carry-on backpack to your travel gear. Practical, functional, and hassle-free, a carry-on backpack can fit up to a week’s worth of clothes, depending on your wardrobe and packing prowess. Whether you’re backpacking through Europe or embarking on a weekend getaway, this style helps make your trip as efficient and enjoyable as possible.

We evaluated 89 carry-on backpacks in more than seven separate tests in our New York City lab and even utilized our airplane set — complete with a row of real plane seats and overhead storage bins — during the process. We then took each bag out into the world for at least six months to test its worth on a variety of trips.

Why I'm the Expert

After taking part in every single backpack test we've done since 2022, personally testing more than 50 bags, and even owning two packs from this list, including our best overall winner, I'm confident there is a carry-on backpack for every type of traveler here.

Best Overall

Cotopaxi allpa 35l travel pack.

• Capacity 5 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Durability 5 /5
• Comfort 5 /5

I've used this pack for over four years and I'm confident I can fit more in it than a carry-on.

There isn’t a designated water bottle holder.

The Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack earned our top pick as the best carry-on backpack with its perfect performance in all categories of our testing. We loved its high capacity and thought the unstructured style was ideal for wedging clothes into every corner, maximizing packing space in the clamshell-style compartments. The shell is made of a TPU-coated 1000D polyester with a rubbery feel, and although it feels resistant to liquids, the backpack comes with a rain cover to ensure that your belongings stay dry while traveling. Handles on all four sides of the backpack make it easy to carry and lift into an overhead bin from any angle. The only downside to the bag is that it doesn't have a water bottle holder on the sides, so you'll have to carry one or try to fit it in the top pocket in the front.

During testing, we weren't surprised to see that the durable-feeling materials weren't damaged at all after we repeatedly tossed the bag onto the ground. Aside from testing this bag in our lab, I personally own it and have used it for countless trips in the last four years. The quality hasn't wavered in the slightest and I typically reach for the bag since I can fit more than I could in a carry-on. Plus, with the rising costs of bringing luggage on an airplane, this bag has been a real money-saver since I can usually fit my personal items inside, too.

The Details: 35 liters | 20 x 12 x 8 inches | 3.8 pounds | TPU-coated 1000D polyester, nylon | Padded laptop sleeve

Best for Long Trips

Away the outdoor convertible backpack 45l.

• Design 4.5 /5

We love how comfortable it is on your shoulders and back thanks to the soft materials and cushioned shoulder straps.

At nearly 22 inches tall, this pack may be too long for those with shorter torsos.

You'll be surprised by just how spacious this backpack is. The main compartment opens up like a clam shell for easy access to items that allowed us to fit an entire four-day packing list with ease — plus a few extra items. There are multiple large compartments, compression straps, and a few pockets in this backpack that are ideal for organizing clothes, gear, and accessories. While the 45-liter backpack can grow heavy when completely filled, the padded shoulder straps are supportive and keep you comfortable when walking for long periods of time. Plus, the convenient duffel handles allow you to switch up your carrying style if you do grow fatigued.

This backpack also sports a well-padded laptop sleeve that protected our testing laptop when we threw the fully packed bag off a counter three times. There was also no sign of rips, scuffs, or tears in the bag's fabric after our tests. This water- and abrasion-resistant backpack would be perfect for avid travels who are looking for a sleek backpack to take them from city explorations to camping adventures.

The Details: 45 liters | 21.7 x 13.6 x 9.5 inches | 3.32 pounds | Water-resistant

Best Budget

Asenlin 40l travel backpack.

It’s spacious and comes with three packing cubes to stay organized while traveling. 

After six months of use, the bag is scuffed up with noticeable scratches.

Perfect for travelers on a budget, the Asenlin 40L Travel Backpack impressed us with its packing features and comfortable fit. We thought the bag provided excellent organization thanks to the interior and exterior compression that provided extra room for packing. The backpack comes with three different packing cubes in small, medium, and large. We also like that this backpack includes both a suitcase strap and a handle to hold it horizontally. The backpack itself also features straps inside and a laptop sleeve to easily hold down items and pack electronics.

The design didn’t blow us away like those from some of the more costly brands, but it does have a laptop sleeve and a water bottle holder. We also liked the flexibility of being able to wear the Asenlin as a backpack, hold it like a briefcase, or use the trolley sleeve to slide it onto a roller suitcase’s handle. However, a bigger adjustment range for the chest strap would have been ideal. During our durability tests, the backpack didn’t scuff or show signs of damage. We think this budget pick is well worth the low price for those looking to get a durable, comfortable, and spacious carry-on backpack. 

The Details: 40 liters | 18.5 x 12.5 x 9.5 inches | 2.7 pounds | Polyester | 17-inch laptop pocket

Best for Photographers

Peak design travel backpack 45l.

• Value 4.5 /5

You can access the main compartment on the bag from four different exterior zippers.

This is one of the most expensive backpack on our list.

This 45-liter backpack has a main compartment that is spacious enough to fit clothes for at least four days, and its expansive design is helpful for packing bulky items like jackets and shoes. Placing the clothes and shoes into the bag during testing was efficient and simple thanks to a removable divider sleeve and compression straps to hold everything down securely. Designed with photographers in mind, this backpack functions similarly to a camera bag . It can fit camera cubes, and it has four points of entry to the main compartment, allowing travelers to quickly grab clothes or accessories without unzipping the backpack. There is a padded laptop sleeve and stretchy side pockets for water bottles or a camera tripod. 

Peak Design didn’t let any space go to waste on its backpack, so even the hip belt has a small pocket on it for storage and can be packed away when you’re not looking for extra support. It’s also easy to adjust all of the straps to prevent weight imbalances and pinching. Made of weatherproof and water-resistant recycled nylon, the bag held up perfectly after we tossed it on the ground, showing no signs of scuffs or damage — exactly what you want in a durable backpack . Although the price of this bag is steep, it comes with plenty of helpful features for travelers, and the stellar performance leads us to believe that it would last a long time.

Best Compression

Tropicfeel shell backpack.

• Design 4 /5
• Comfort 4 /5

It can be converted from 40 liters for traveling to 22 liters to use as a daypack. 

The handle on the top of the bag wasn’t as comfortable to hold onto as we hoped. 

We love this backpack’s thoughtful features geared toward all types of travelers. The Tropicfeel Shell Backpack has the ability to store up to 42 liters worth of clothing for a weekend or week-long trip, but you can also use it as a 20-liter backpack for day trips, sightseeing, and everyday use. After regularly using the bag for six months, we found it to be incredibly sturdy and durable. We had no issues fitting our full packing list and found that there was plenty more room thanks to the variety of buckled straps that allow you to adjust the size of the bag. You can loosen the front buckle to allow the roll-up opening flap to expand to fit more items, and there is a kangaroo pouch at the bottom of the backpack that provides an additional six liters of space for shoes or other items you want to keep separate. There’s also a padded compartment in the back of the backpack that can fit laptops up to 17 inches long. We thought the backpack was comfortable to wear after adjusting the shoulder and waist straps, but we found that it might take some effort to get the buckles into your desired setting. 

The Shell Backpack didn’t show any signs of damage throughout testing, and the material is weather-proof. For travelers looking to add upgrades to their backpack, the brand has an organization system and accessory pouches that you can add on for additional fees. If you need an all-in-one backpack, we think this backpack’s versatility makes it well worth the higher cost. 

The Details: 20 to 42 liters | 12 x 20 x 7.5 inches | 3.3 pounds | Recycled polyester

Best Organization

Topo designs global travel bag 30l.

Topo Designs

• Capacity 4 /5

There are tons of pockets and a laptop compartment to help you organize your belongings.

After six months of use, we noticed the bag can feel quite heavy if packed full.

Packing for a trip can often feel tedious, but the Topo Designs Global Travel Bag 30L helps make it easy and efficient. We loved how convenient it is to store a laptop up to 15 inches in the padded compartment in the back of the bag, and there are two front pockets for easy access to a tablet or phone charger. There are a ton of compartments and pockets that offer plenty of options for staying organized with small or loose items in the absence of packing cubes, with places to stash cords, travel documents, electronics, water bottles, and more.

The adjustable shoulder straps and straps that go across the chest and waist help evenly distribute the backpack's weight, making it more comfortable to carry around, although we noticed during our long-term testing that the bag can still feel heavy if you pack it completely full. The 100 percent recycled nylon material felt durable and would likely stay in good condition over time. 

The Details: 30 liters | 12.5 x 20 x 7 inches

Best Expandable

Nomatic travel pack.

• Capacity 4.8 /5
• Comfort 4.5 /5
• Durability 4.5 /5
• Value 4.8 /5

The expandable zippers add an extra 3.5 inches of space which increases the capacity to 30 liters.

Some of the pockets feel unnecessary.

The Nomatic Travel Pack is the ultimate versatile carry-on backpack thanks to its expandable zippers that add an extra 10 liters of space. Ideal for an overnight trip or a long weekend getaway, the bag has a variety of pockets and compartments to efficiently organize shoes, clothes, accessories, and technology. While the number of pockets on the interior was a bit overwhelming at first, travelers who like to be extra organized will appreciate the designated padded laptop sleeve, sunglasses case, discrete passport pocket, and plethora of slip and zippered pockets in the main compartment. The handles and padded shoulder straps are comfortable for carrying the bag, and the small-to-medium size of the backpack makes it super comfortable to carry since it doesn’t feel bulky or heavy. We used this bag on a variety of international trips throughout four months of testing, and it still looks new, despite rough handling and being shoved under airplane seats.

Matein Travel Backpack

• Comfort 4.8 /5
• Durability 4.3 /5

It has several compartments for keeping clothing, shoes, tech, and accessories organized.

The materials feel a little lower in quality than other backpacks we tried.

If you’re not ready to invest in a pricier carry-on backpack, you can always dip your toes with this functional and spacious one for under $60. This 40-liter backpack has one large main compartment that can fit several tops, bottoms, and a toiletry case without any issues. We particularly love the separate footwear compartment to prevent the bottom of your shoes from coming into contact with clean clothes and that storage can even fit pairs up to size 12. In addition, there is a laptop pocket and a large front pocket with spots to put items like phone chargers, headphones, and other small accessories that could get lost easily. Compared to the pricier bags we tried, this one feels a bit lower in quality, but none of the nylon fabric tore and scuffed during our durability tests, so we still think this bag has a good lifespan ahead of it.

Best Waterproof

Tortuga travel backpack.

This bag is basically a suitcase without wheels thanks to its large capacity and clamshell-style opening.

The bag can feel a bit heavy to carry when it’s fully packed.

If you’re traveling somewhere with a rainy climate, you’ll want a carry-on backpack like this one from Tortuga that can ward off the elements. It’s made with the brand’s 100 percent recycled and waterproof Shell200 or “sailcloth” material to protect your belongings and prevent bad weather from putting a serious damper on your trip. During a rainy overnight camping trip, the Tortuga Travel Backpack essentially sat in a puddle for hours, yet none of our gear or clothing inside got wet at all, and the bag was easy to clean with just a wet cloth.

This is a seriously spacious bag at 40 liters, so we found that you can seamlessly fit a week’s worth of clothing (or more) between the two clamshell compartments. Because of the split style of the bag, packing it up is hassle-free since it’s easy to see exactly how much space is left on each side. And if you run out of space in the main compartments, there are top, front, and side exterior pockets to store a laptop, accessories, water bottles, and more items that you’ll want to have handy while traveling.

Best for Foot Travel

Osprey fairview 40.

The compartments and various straps made packing effortless. 

It’s a large bag, but it wasn’t so heavy that it was uncomfortable to wear.

For travelers journeying on foot, the Osprey Fairview wowed us with its spacious interior and comfortable fit. The straps for walking longer distances are really the best part — making your bag feel like you're carrying less since the weight is so well distributed. The bags have the same storage capacity and general style, but Osprey’s women’s backpacks are designed to fit a smaller torso with waist and chest harnesses that sit upward and outward for a more comfortable carry. In testing, the main compartment and mesh zippered pouch on the front flap proved to be spacious. There are two internal compression straps and one external strap that kept belongings secure through our rough handling, so we think the bag would provide sufficient protection if you do need to check it in for a flight. 

We appreciated the padded shoulder straps and back that made wearing the backpack comfortable, despite the weight of its contents. The Osprey Fairview bags have an internal suspension the brand calls “LightWire” that distributes the weight from the harness to the hip belt, and our shoulders didn’t hurt after carrying the backpack since most of the weight shifted to the lower body.

Best Convertible

Calpak terra 26l laptop duffel backpack.

With a modular design, we loved being able to carry this spacious pack as a duffel or backpack.

We found it was most comfortable to carry as a backpack when packed full.

The two-in-one design of this carry-on backpack from Calpak makes it the perfect piece of luggage to add to your collection. If you need to carry the backpack long distances, the padded straps offer plenty of comfort to protect the shoulders from feeling the weight of the pack, and they can be tucked away when they're not needed. For rushing off an airplane or grabbing the pack quickly, the duffel bag strap makes it easy to sling the pack over the shoulder within seconds. In testing, senior commerce editor Lydia Price preferred using the backpack straps after noting that the generous padding in the back and on the straps made the bag noticeably more comfortable to carry. I also own this bag and prefer to use the backpack straps, but I love having the option to carry it multiple ways as my needs change on the go.

Although the bag is medium-sized with a 26-liter capacity, it still has plenty of room to fit enough clothing for four or five days' worth of traveling thanks to the numerous pockets. The clamshell-style opening also makes it easy to organize items between the two compartments. The ripstop polyester fabric didn't scuff or scratch during our durability tests and we especially love that the outer material is water-resistant, which is helpful for all types of adventuring from urban to outdoor settings.

Other Carry-on Backpacks We Liked

While we tested plenty of high-scoring carry-on backpacks, there were some that almost made our list but didn’t quite make the cut due to several weaknesses revealed during testing. 

Bellroy Transit Backpack Plus : We loved the adjustable sternum and waist straps that you can tuck into the bag when not in use, but we think there are better bags out there for a fraction of the price. 

AmazonBasics Carry-on Travel Backpack : It had plenty of compartments for staying organized and the material felt durable, but there weren’t any standout features that made it a must-have backpack. 

Vancropak Carry-on Backpack, Extra Large 40L : This backpack fits all of the packing items, and it even fits under an airplane seat, but our budget pick performed slightly better and it costs less. 

On more than seven separate occasions, we tested carry-on backpacks in our New York City lab to make sure we were creating this list with the best options from trusted luggage brands. For our latest tests, we built a specially designed airplane set that includes a row of real airplane seats and an overhead storage bin. To date, we've put over 89 carry-on backpacks through a series of trials that compared capacity, design, comfort, durability, and overall value. After completing our in-house testing, we sent the backpacks out with our Travel + Leisure editors to give us insight into how they fared during real-world travel. We have been updating this article with long-term testing insights as soon as they become available. 

To test for capacity, we began by packing the bags with three shirts, two pairs of pants, one jacket, one pair of shoes, and a toiletry bag. We noted if any space was left over as well as how functional the compartments were for organizing the contents packed. We evaluated the overall design of the bags by paying attention to how they fold out, how well the zippers and buckles work, and the functionality of each pocket or compartment. 

Next, we put on the backpacks and walked around for 10 minutes to rate comfortability. The highest scoring backpacks were exceptionally enjoyable to wear with the weight evenly distributed on the shoulders or hips.

Then, we threw the backpacks a few feet or off a countertop to test for durability. The highest-rated bags had no scuffs or tears after rough handling, and the packed items inside remained unharmed as well. 

Our testers had no previous knowledge of the cost of each backpack until after testing was completed. This allowed us to give an unbiased rating of overall values, where the top bags were determined to be fairly priced based on a high-quality performance, especially for the pricier bags. After our lab tests, the backpacks were sent out for real-world testing for up to six months.

Tips for Buying a Carry-on Backpack

Consider under-the-seat versus carry-on bags.

Not all carry-on backpacks will fit under the seat of an airplane, but if that’s your intended use, we recommend checking an airline’s underseat dimensions before heading to the airport. Similarly, with a carry-on backpack for the overhead bin, you’ll want to double-check the airline’s carry-on size restrictions to avoid paying unwanted fees if the bag is stuffed full of clothes. 

Keep in mind what the bag will be used for

For those traveling by foot, a smaller, lightweight backpack would be better for portability and comfort. For those traveling by air, a compression bag or backpack that has plentiful organization could be a better choice so you get the most out of the limited airline baggage space. When traveling by air, you might also want to consider an option with wheels for added convenience, like a rolling backpack, weekender, or duffel bag .

Frequently Asked Questions

During our test, we packed three shirts, two pants, one jacket, one pair of shoes, and a toiletry bag into each bag and often had extra space for more clothes. Many backpacks come with a laptop compartment , but you’ll want to make sure that feature is included before purchasing yours.

Carry-on size restrictions vary by airline, and it’s possible for a carry-on backpack to not fit within some limits. Most bags will have a product details section highlighting the dimensions of the backpack. If you’re looking to fit the bag solely under the seat , you should check to make sure the bag fits the dimensions while it’s packed.

Why Trust Travel + Leisure

After moving to New York City in the spring of 2022 to test travel gear for T+L, Anna Popp has spent countless hours personally testing more than 50 backpacks including bags on this list from Cotopaxi, Calpak, Peak Design, and Nomatic. She has been traveling with our top pick for more than four years — and even had to get everyone in her family the same bag so they would stop stealing hers.

South Carolina faces deadliest travel season as Memorial Day sets record high travelers

by Marsharia Adams

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH) — The unofficial start of summer is here. Memorial Day weekend is one of the biggest travel periods of the year.

It was also the beginning of one of the deadliest times of year on South Carolina's roads.

According to Triple-A, they expect a little more than 38 million people will travel by car over the Memorial Day holiday, that’s the highest number for that holiday period since AAA started tracking in 2000.

"It is going to be a huge huge Memorial Day weekend in fact we expect that we are going to see the highest volume of travelers throughout the Carolinas than we've ever seen for this holiday," said Wright

Officials say the best time to travel is before eleven am and after seven pm.

They also expect Sunday and Monday to be the busiest days for travel. Officials say, while most will be traveling by car, airports will also be busy.

They advise arriving at the airport at least two and a half hours before your flight.

Triple A told WACHFOX News while you might be saving on where you stay, you might spend more on how you get there.

Gas prices this weekend will vary from location to location.

"Don't be surprised if you see a little bit of an uptick here in the next couple of days leading up to the holiday it is not going to be a whole lot more than it did last year, maybe a dime more so that's what you're going to be facing but yes it's going to cost you a little more to fill up," said Wright

LCPL, William Bennett with the South Carolina Highway Patrol says, that as we approach the 100 deadly days of summer a time when we see the most teen deaths due to drunk driving law enforcement is urging everyone to take advantage of ride shares, and drive safe

"Use a ride-share service like Uber, or Lyft you have these options available right at your fingertips there's no reason you should be getting a DUI and risking your life or other's life." said Bennett

Just this week a new law came into effect putting a new interlock service into dui offenders' cars if you cannot pass a breathalyzer test.

Steven Burritt with MADD says hopefully a harsher punishment will stop people from committing the crime.

"The laws are tougher and that's one thing that could work in our favor as we are dealing sort of with an uphill battle with seeing increasing drunk driving deaths in our state that difference in the law is substantial and even if they do not know the specifics if they are convicted they will have one of those interlocking systems on their car," said Burritt

Nearly 44 Million Travelers Leaving Town for Unofficial Start of Summer

Second highest memorial day holiday travel forecast since aaa began tracking in 2000.

WASHINGTON, DC (May 13, 2024) – AAA projects 43.8 million travelers will head 50 miles or more from home over the Memorial Day holiday travel period*. This year’s total number of travelers is a 4% increase over last year and comes close to matching 2005’s record of 44 million Memorial Day travelers.  

“We haven’t seen Memorial Day weekend travel numbers like these in almost 20 years,” said Paula Twidale, Senior Vice President of AAA Travel. “We’re projecting an additional one million travelers this holiday weekend compared to 2019, which not only means we’re exceeding pre-pandemic levels but also signals a very busy summer travel season ahead.”   

Road trips are expected to set a record. AAA projects 38.4 million people will travel by car over Memorial Day weekend, the highest number for that holiday since AAA began tracking in 2000. The number of drivers this year is up 4% compared to last year and 1.9% higher than in 2019. Traveling by car is appealing for many people because of the convenience and flexibility it provides. AAA car rental partner Hertz says Orlando, Denver, Atlanta, Boston and Las Vegas are the cities displaying the highest rental demand , with the busiest pick-up days projected to be Thursday, May 23 and Friday, May 24.  

This Memorial Day weekend drivers can expect similar gas prices as last year when the national average was roughly $3.57.  Pump prices rose this spring but have held somewhat steady in recent weeks. Prices may creep higher as the summer driving season gets underway. The wildcard remains the cost of oil, and unlike last year, there are now two wars – in the Middle East and Ukraine – that could roil the oil market.  

Airports are bracing for a spike in travelers. AAA expects 3.51 million air travelers this holiday weekend, an increase of 4.8% over last year and 9% jump compared to 2019. This will be the most crowded Memorial Day weekend at airports since 2005, when 3.64 million flew for the holiday as the travel industry finally rebounded post 9/11. This Memorial Day weekend, air ticket prices are comparable to last year. AAA booking data shows a 1% to 2% increase in prices for domestic flights. Several factors play into how much travelers pay for airfare, including destination, number of stops, and fare class. For example, passengers who book nonstop flights with seat selection and carry-on bags included will likely pay more than those who select basic economy with a layover.  

  Nearly two million people are expected to travel by other modes of transportation, including buses, cruises, and trains. AAA projects 1.9 million people will take these other modes of transportation, an increase of 5.6% compared to last year. “This category took the biggest hit during the pandemic with fewer people taking public transportation or not cruising at all,” Twidale said. “Now – five years later – we’re back to 2019 numbers. Travel demand has been soaring, and long holiday weekends create the perfect windows for getaways.”  

Best/Worst Times to Drive and Peak Congestion by Metro 

INRIX , a provider of transportation data and insights, says drivers leaving Thursday or Friday should hit the road early to avoid mixing with commuters. Travelers going back home on Sunday or Monday should avoid the afternoon hours when return trips will peak.   

“Travel times are expected to be up to 90% longer than normal. Travelers should stay up to date on traffic apps, 511 services, and local news stations to avoid sitting in traffic longer than necessary,” said Bob Pishue, transportation analyst at INRIX.  

Please note that the times listed below are for the time zone in which the metro is located.

Top Destinations 

This Memorial Day weekend, travelers are seeking theme parks and entertainment venues in Orlando, New York, Las Vegas, and Southern California. Seattle, Anchorage, and Vancouver rank high because of the popularity of Alaska cruises this time of year. Florida beaches and cruise ports will also be packed. European cities dominate the international list. The top 10 domestic and international destinations below are based on AAA booking data.  

Travel Trends   

As travelers make plans for summer and beyond, AAA Travel has identified the following trends:  

• Bucket Lists : Travelers taking once-in-a-lifetime trips  
• Milestones : Families booking anniversary, retirement, and family reunion trips  
• Asia : More travelers interested in visiting Asia, especially Japan   
• Solo Trips : More people, especially women, interested in traveling by themselves  
• Luxury Vacations : More travelers seeking high-end cruises and tours  
• Trains : Many travelers interested in rail vacations across New England, Canada, and Europe  
• Adventure in Nature : Travelers booking trips to Antarctica, Africa, and South Pacific  

  Travel Agent Survey  

A recent survey of AAA travel agents highlights topics travelers are frequently discussing when booking trips:  

• Travel Insurance : 51 % of agents say more travelers are interested in protecting their trips  
• 77% of agents say ocean cruises  
• 70% of agents say all-inclusive vacations  
• 67% of agents say river cruises  

Holiday Travel Forecast Methodology   

In cooperation with AAA, S&P Global Market Intelligence (SPGMI) developed a unique methodology to forecast actual domestic travel volumes. The economic variables used to forecast travel for the current holiday are leveraged from SPGMI’s proprietary databases. These data include macroeconomic drivers such as employment, output, household net worth, asset prices, including stock indices, interest rates, housing market indicators, and variables related to travel and tourism, including gasoline prices, airline travel, and hotel stays. AAA and SPGMI have quantified holiday travel volumes going back to 2000.   

Historical travel volume estimates come from DK SHIFFLET’s TRAVEL PERFORMANCE/Monitor SM . The PERFORMANCE/Monitor SM is a comprehensive study measuring the travel behavior of U.S. residents. DK SHIFFLET contacts over 50,000 U.S. households each month to obtain detailed travel data, resulting in the unique ability to estimate visitor volume and spending, identify trends, and forecast U.S. travel behavior, all after the trips have been taken.  

The travel forecast is reported in person-trips. In particular, AAA and SPGMI forecast the total U.S. holiday travel volume and expected mode of transportation. The travel forecast presented in this report was prepared the week of April 15, 2024.   

*Memorial Day Holiday Travel Period   

For this forecast, the Memorial Day holiday travel period is defined as the five-day period from Thursday, May 23 to Monday, May 27, 2024.   

AAA Travel Agent Survey Methodology 

AAA clubs distributed surveys to a random sample of their travel agents between March 18 and March 29, 2024 to understand recent traveler trends over the past 60 days. 186 AAA agent responses were collected from 13 AAA clubs (representing 97% of AAA membership overall as of February 2024).
