Away Luggage Is Finally Available at Amazon—These Are the 6 Traveler-loved Finds We're Eyeing From $75

Viral luggage brand Away is having a memorable summer. In addition to launching a Thailand-inspired collaboration with the hit TV series The White Lotus, the Travel + Leisure -tested brand has officially opened its Amazon storefront.
It's not uncommon to spot at least one of Away's sleek suitcases while walking through the airport, and now the brand is expanding its reach. Amazon Prime members can take advantage of free and fast shipping on hardshell luggage, mini duffle bags, and more. When we tested Away's luggage, we found the suitcases to have smooth-rolling wheels and durable exteriors. The storefront will spotlight best-sellers and have curated travel gear based on the length of your trip. Keep scrolling to shop the statement-making luggage—including the carry-on that's flight attendant-approved.
After the success of the brand's original carry-on, Away launched the Bigger Carry-on luggage that was made with overpackers in mind. It comes with a compression pad inside to help you pack up to seven days' worth of things, according to the brand. A flight attendant on TikTok said she's a fan of Away's carry-on and recommends it to people because she has the 'least issues' with fitting it in the overhead bin. In another viral TikTok, one frequent flier showed off the carry-on's roomy interior by seamlessly zipping up the bulging luggage.
This duffle bag combines style with functional construction, so you can remain organized and look polished while navigating the airport. Inside is a main compartment with a separate pocket for laptops up to 16-inches, and slots for your water bottle, portable charger, sunglasses, and more. You can also slide the built-in slip over the handle of your carry-on when you need a free hand.
I always pack this toiletry bag, even if it's just for a weekend trip. It has so many pockets, including two compartments inside, as well as an extra exterior pocket that I use for my jewelry. The soft shell easily fits into a backpack or carry-on without hassle.
Whether you're backcountry camping or commuting to work, you can rely on Away's backpack to keep your essentials organized and secure. The exterior is made with a waterproof material so your laptop and change of clothes stay dry. There is also a hidden pocket to store your ID, passport, and tickets.
Longer trips require a checked suitcase, and Away's version comes with a durable hardshell exterior to help keep your belongings secure. The 360-degree wheels make it easier to maneuver from the airport to your hotel, and the built-in handle has an adjustable height, so you can make it longer.
You won't have to narrow down your clothing options with Away's trunk-inspired suitcase. It's made with a deeper capacity that the brand claims can hold more than three weeks' worth of stuff. It also includes a waterproof laundry bag, so you can keep your wet or dirty laundry separate from your clean clothes.

A brawl erupted on a Carnival cruise. Now those involved are banned for life.

Several Carnival Cruise passengers have been banned for life after a brawl on a recent sailing. Video shared by TikTok user @hellokittyyx shows multiple guests involved in the fight, with security and crew trying to break it up. At least two chairs appear to have been thrown in the video dated June 7. A spokesperson confirmed the incident happened on the Carnival Sunrise and told USA TODAY, "Those involved will not sail on Carnival Cruise Line again." In April, 24 Carnival passengers were banned after getting into a fight while disembarking the Carnival Jubilee. Other Carnival guests have been banned for fights on other ships in recent years. Carnival has a "zero-tolerance" policy toward disruptive behavior. "The safety and security of our guests, team members, the destinations we visit and the waters in which we travel are embedded in our company's values and guides our operation," according to Carnival's website. "Cruise ships are a shared space, and all guests are expected to treat others with respect." Guests are reminded about these safety and security policies when they travel with Carnival.

Hyatt opens lifestyle hotel in Alaska under JdV brand

This story was originally published on Hotel Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Hotel Dive newsletter. Hyatt Hotels opened The Wildbirch Hotel in Anchorage, Alaska, marking the city's first lifestyle boutique property as well as its newest hotel lodging option in 20 years, according to the hotel company. The 252-key Wildbirch falls under the JdV by Hyatt brand, a collection of independent hotels located in urban destinations. The property offers on-site dining, meetings and events facilities and outdoor gathering space with scenic views. The hotel is the first JdV property to open in Alaska, coming as Hyatt beefs up its portfolio with recent independent hotel additions. The hotel company is more broadly expanding in lifestyle, including through acquisitions. Anchoring Anchorage's West Fourth Avenue shopping and dining corridor, The Wildbirch Hotel 'is a destination itself,' according to Hyatt. The hotel offers a communal outdoor deck with fire pits and views of Mount Susitna and Knik Arm, as well as 5,200 square feet of meetings and events space. The property's signature restaurant, Crimson, offers Alaskan-inspired dishes with Pan-American Latin flair. Meanwhile, Canteen Coffee Co. serves up coffee drinks and grab-and-go food options in the lobby. This fall, craft beer tasting room The Undertap will open at the hotel as well, with options to host private gatherings. 'This property offers a unique, modern Alaska experience unlike anywhere else,' Mark Begich, co-owner and the former mayor of Anchorage from 2003 to 2009, said in a statement. The hotel is part of a revitalization of downtown Anchorage that Begich and partners are undertaking. The hotel joins JdV as Hyatt focuses on portfolio growth, particularly via independent hotel additions. Last month, the company launched Unscripted by Hyatt, an upscale collection brand designed to bring independent properties and small portfolios under Hyatt's Essentials portfolio. Within the past year, Hyatt also expanded in New Orleans and Las Vegas, bringing hotels under its Independent Collection. The growth is part of Hyatt's broader push in the burgeoning luxury and lifestyle segment. The company has recently opened hotels under its Thompson Hotels, Andaz and Grand Hyatt brands in line with this strategy. It has also acquired brands, including lifestyle operator Standard International, to scale. Marriott International is expanding by similar means, also launching a collection brand, Series by Marriott, last month and, in April, acquiring international lifestyle brand CitizenM.

Best Hotels In Key West 2025

Thanks to its beaches, colorful houses and vibrant community, Florida's Key West has attracted artists and writers for decades. 'It's where laid-back island vibes meet quirky charm,' says Claire Herzog, a travel advisor at Fora. 'It's hard not to fall in love with it.' The best hotels in Key West reflect the area's creative soul and provide prime access to legendary spots like Duval Street and Mallory Square. Our top overall recommendation is The Marquesa Hotel, thanks to its prime location a block off of Duval Street. Meanwhile, luxury seekers will appreciate a resort-style stay at Ocean Key Resort & Spa, design aficionados will be impressed with the charming furnishings at The Grand Maloney and families seeking ample room for children to play will want to book Parrot Key Hotel And Villas. Ahead, the best hotels in Key West for 2025. Exterior of The Marquesa Hotel in Key West, Florida. This charming hotel is perched on Fleming Street in the heart of Old Town, providing a superb location within walking distance of Key West's best sights. With just 27 rooms inside four restored, Victorian-style conch cottages dating back to the late 1800s, guests can enjoy pops of pastels, white wrap-around balconies, lush tropical flora and two courtyard swimming pools. While no two rooms are exactly alike, most are spacious with high gloss Brazilian cherry hardwood floors and a mélange of furniture sourced everywhere from the West Indies to the Philippines and England. For foodies, the property's on-site restaurant, Café Marquesa, is widely regarded as one of the best in Key West, with creative preparations of local seafood such as seared black grouper with basil blue crab and saffron aioli. Guest room at Ocean Key Resort & Spa. For unparalleled sunset views, Ocean Key Resort & Spa offers 27 guest rooms, many of which feature a private balcony with views of Key West Harbor (others overlook the historic Duval Street). Each room offers a sophisticated and elegant mix of florals and stripes, as well as an in-room mini bar that's refreshed daily and comfortable wooden furniture for reading or enjoying a coffee before starting your day. The fantastic spa, SpaTerre, features Balinese-inspired treatments, and the resort offers multiple dining options, whether you're looking for a sit-down dinner or poolside drinks. The property's Sunset Pier bar is also open daily and features live music, allowing travelers to take in the beautiful scenery while enjoying the music. A room at the Grand Maloney. Design aficionados will be delighted by this intimate hotel, which features five individually designed guest rooms (each with its own name) and a freestanding carriage house with a tropical outdoor shower that will make you feel as though you're on a private island. Every room is housed within a meticulously restored Victorian-style mansion, preserving many historic architectural details, including the 11-foot ceilings and 150-year-old wood floors. Beyond the well-appointed rooms, numerous common spaces are available for relaxation before exploring the nearby shops and restaurants, including a pool and an airy second-floor balcony. The mansion also features a wraparound front porch where travelers can mingle and enjoy a morning coffee (complimentary espresso is available in the lobby). Exterior of Parrot Key Hotel & Villas. For families traveling with little ones in tow, Parrot Key Hotel and Villas is an excellent option. It overlooks the Florida Bay and offers plenty of privacy and breathtaking views. (Although it's a 10 to 15 minute drive to Old Town, there's a complimentary shuttle so guests won't have to worry about transportation.) One of the best features of this hotel is its four sparkling pools, nestled among lush plants and sculpture gardens; there's also five acres of tropical gardens that surround the property and the waterfront white sand beach. The 148 spacious rooms and villas are perfect for large broods, with a porch overlooking the property's well-manicured gardens. Families can also enjoy outdoor excursions such as parasailing, snorkeling, and a guided kayak tour, which will keep younger travelers engaged and excited. Exterior of The Saint Hotel Key West, Autograph Collection. Couples seeking a playful atmosphere with numerous amenities will find plenty to love at this adults-only hotel, situated in Old Town and offering easy access to the main attractions that draw travelers to Key West year after year. There are 36 rooms with a fun, eclectic design that reflects the vibrancy of the location. The rooms are outfitted with a variety of amenities, including large flat-screen TVs and spacious walk-in showers. If you're looking for a drink in a lively setting, the rooftop bar has live music, and the hotel's onsite restaurant is an excellent spot for dinner or a late-night snack. If you're seeking excitement beyond the hustle and bustle of Old Town, the hotel offers a year-round outdoor swimming pool with pool loungers and free bicycles for guests to use at their leisure. Exterior of The Mansion On The Sea. Those with a penchant for old-world charm will enjoy the historic architecture of this distinctive adults-only hotel, located on Duval Street. The Victorian mansion is painted pink with hints of seafoam green and features a turret, as well as a wraparound front porch that's perfect for taking in sunrises and sunsets while enjoying the mild weather. It was initially built as a private residence and later turned into a hotel with 18 guest rooms, a heated zero-entry infinity pool and a poolside bar. Pool towels, lounge chairs, and umbrellas are all available for guests to use, and the poolside bar offers a delicious assortment of snacks and drinks (including the café's famous lobster pizza). There's also a complimentary continental breakfast each morning where travelers can enjoy locally ground and roasted coffee, fresh fruit, pastries, bagels, yogurt, eggs and more.
