It’s spring break season, and that means that traveling is in full swing. Whether you’re heading across oceans or are going on a road trip, you’ll want the best carry-on you can find: something that’s the right size for a decent trip, easy to move around, and the right investment for future travel. In our opinion, the best carry-on is a member of the TUMI 19 Degree series, in the latest stylish color of Halogen Blue. It comes in six other hues that are perfect for anyone’s taste.
The 19 Degree series is beloved for a reason. It expands to meet the needs of shorter and longer trips, is well organized and it’s built to last. Read on to learn more about why our luggage experts think this is the best carry-on for spring break (or nearly any other trip). We’ve got a bonus add-on at the end, so don’t forget to scroll all the way to the bottom to see our new gear.

The Exterior: Style, Functionality & Extra-Smart Features
The 19 Degree carry-on from TUMI integrates some of the brand’s best features into a lightweight rolling suitcase. The exterior is unique, with a wavy pattern that makes it easy to spot from far away. The hard shell is crafted with recycled polycarbonate, too. It’s expandable as well, meaning that this hard-sided case is more flexible than you might expect. There are tons of other exciting features that have this bag taking the place of other equipment, such as accessories like a separate luggage lock:
- A built-in USB port allows you to charge devices like phones and earbuds, ensuring that you’re never left without power (charger sold separately.)
- Three handles allow flexible maneuvering: a handle on top, a handle on the side, and a telescoping handle.
- An integrated TSA lock helps keep your gear protected.
- The exterior is treated with anti-microbial solutions to keep your travel as clean as can be.
Our pick for the best carry-on for spring break is pretty tough on the outside, yet multitasks perfectly. Meanwhile, the spinner wheels and three-position telescoping handle are designed to go from destination to destination quickly. There’s no dragging or lagging: just smooth motion. Let’s take a look inside.
The Interior: Storage At Every Corner
The 19 Degree carry-on from TUMI is crafted with convenient storage and organization features everywhere. The goal? To make sure that your spring break (or summer vacay, or work trip) is as perfectly organized as you’d like. Our pick for the best carry-on luggage shows off its storage capabilities easily from the moment you open it up:
- Dual compartments greet users when they open the carry-on. On one side, straps hold clothing, toiletries and more in place. On the other, a zippered lining keeps other belongings apart.
- More interior pockets can be found throughout the bag, like one within the zippered lining. It’s perfect for laundry.
- Our choice for spring break’s best carry-on can expand outward by about two inches. That’s a lot of room, giving you enough space for 5-day trips. When expanded, it’s large enough to be considered checked luggage.
- This features the PROTX2® antimicrobial lining (not guaranteed to protect users against viruses, bacteria, germs or other disease organisms.)
- A TUMI Tracer® makes it easier to find lost luggage than ever. Once someone finds a lost or stolen carry-on, it’s easy to reunite you with your case.
Luxury Meets Functionality
From the tough and stylish exterior to the expandable interior and every extra upgrade between, this TUMI carry-on bag is an exquisite choice for any traveler. Whether you fly for business, pleasure or a little bit of both, any member of the 19 Degree collection is an impeccable choice. And for spring break, we recommend you have fun with the exciting new color for this carry-on that you can stash in most overhead bins. We’ve got one other great pick from our luggage collection that would pair perfectly with this spring break luggage, too.
Bonus: Meet The Large TUMI Tote Voyageur Valetta!
The TUMI Voyageur Valetta comes in at a close second for our favorite gear for spring break. This large carryall crossover functions incredibly with room for everything. With a compartment for a laptop or tablet, multiple zip pockets perfect for wallets and ID cards or passports, a water bottle pocket (that’s water-resistant) and even a quick-access phone pocket, everything has a place. This pick has a TUMI Tracer®, just like the 19 Degree carry-on, as well. Plus, they’re easy to carry together. Just slip the bag’s rear horizontal strap through the telescoping handle, and boom, you’re ready to roll. Literally. Hoping for something smaller? Look for a medium tote instead.
