If travel is on your 2025 bucket list, keep reading.
If travel and adventure are on your 2025 bucket list, you're going to need a good suitcase. A high-quality suitcase is one that can take some rough handling (we've all seen how airport baggage handlers toss those things around), rolls smoothly so it won't slow you down and helps keep you organized.
Think a suitcase checking all three boxes will have a triple digit price tag? Think again. Travelers are obsessed with this Amazon Basics suitcase, which costs less than $70.
Almost 50,000 people have bought and rated the Amazon Basics suitcase, with the vast majority giving it a perfect five-star rating. What makes it so great? Customers who left reviews like how durable the hard shell is and how easily the wheels glide. The outer shell is scratch-resistant, which means it won't show the wear and tear of all those journeys.
This suitcase is also expandable, giving an extra 25% more space for those times when your suitcase is filled to the gills. Use the innermost zipper to save space and fit overhead bin requirements, or expand it and use the outer zipper for times when you really need more room. The inside of the suitcase is also Type A traveler's dream: There are three zipper pockets, which makes staying organized easy.
It does come in black, but if you want your suitcase to stand out at baggage claim, go for the light blue, navy, orange, or rose gold color options. No matter which one you choose, you can rest assured that your stuff is safe.
Still on the fence? Check out these reviews from shoppers who bought the suitcase:
'It's got everything you need for such a reasonable price! It can definitely fit at least three days of clothes, has extra zipper pockets and compartments. The wheels glide with ease and it's super lightweight.' — Brittany Newman
'Just returned from a trip to Brussels and purchased this suitcase as my carry-on. It was perfect and fit in the overhead bin without any complications. It met the airline's measurement requirements without any problems. I love the color as well which made it easy to spot when we did have to check in our luggage on a couple of flights due to it being a very full flight. Overall, I would highly recommend this suitcase. It's incredibly durable, has lots of space and the wheels rolled easily.' — Amazon Customer
'I was told about these suitcases and went for it! Honestly, they're such good quality. I used them on international travel and they held up well.' — Magare
'I love this suitcase and was given it as a Christmas gift. It's so bright and true to its color. It's easy to spot at the airport [and has a] hard cover, [which is] the best choice to go with. There are many pockets inside so I can organize. It expands when I go a little nuts on bringing things home. I wish all my family would have one! I highly recommend it.' — Amanda
'I took it on a trip to the Bahamas and went through six different airports and two cruise lines. [The suitcase didn't get any] dents. Nothing was broken and all the zippers worked perfectly. I packed for a seven day trip and had plenty of room including three sets of shoes, plus some of my daughter's clothes that wouldn't fit in her overhead carry-on. I would recommend it all day. It's been on several trips now and still works perfectly and solid.' — Jamie F.
