It's funny. I first thought those pockets on the compression sleeve were just stupid and useless. BUT as I've traveled, I have found those to be incredibly useful. Almost every time, I have come home with some sort of picture souvenir of a boat excursion or certificate that was given to the kids for going on a ride or doing something. Kids buying stickers for their water bottles. Even taken coasters from different breweries to add to our home bar. Those pockets have actually come in very handy!
Thank you, Lauren! I've been looking for comparison reviews between Away and Beis, and this really helped me make my decision. Getting minimal scratches on my luggage is important to me, and I really agree with you that at a cost of $325, I would expect the luggage to hold up to the challenge better, Keep doing what you're doing and continue to inspire us. Thank you once again, take care. 🥰
Seriously I searched for what carry on luggage I should get for a while. I was convinced on Away but then I saw your video comparing with Beis. I had never heard of Beis, but after this video and a few other reviewers, I got the Beis. I love it and the sticker price was so much better. Thank you for your through videos with great information.
Same here! I do so much international travel to see my partner, I was CONVINCED I needed the Away bag, but after seeing all the features of Beis (and also less branding all over the inside) I was sold.
Thank you so much for this comparison! My partner has an away bag for his frequent work travel and he loves it. He has had to submit a couple warranty claims for replacement around two or three times though, due to big cracks. I’ve traveled with his away bag twice and it was fine. But the beis bag seems heavier duty in a luxury way without being super heavy. Your review has solidified my decision to buy a beis. The inside looks sleek and sturdy. Plus no more grocery bags for laundry bags? I’m in!
Beis 👌🏾 Away needs a luggage cover, for sure. I wanted the lavender so bad but I can’t be sold on just the color, especially when it didn’t include the medium size and battery pack 👎🏾
This was a great video....concise...to the point. I have 2 away pieces...but I didn't travel that much..now I am about to go on an extended vacation and I want a bigger bag. Beis...looks like the better bag. Thanks!
Yes I think those are fine for at home, but I wouldn’t use it during travel, which is when you want it to stay protected! :) my newest suitcase (level8) came with a cover too!
Thank you so much for this video! I had the same question about the Away bags vs Beis, as well as the color and how dirty it would get! I saw another video of this girl that used a magic eraser and the scuff marks came right off the Beige Beis luggage. So def. leaning more towards the beis luggage now!! Especially for the price -it's a no brainer!!
Yes, the Beis is perfection, still! The away is literally a piece of crap with a popular name on it. I do recommend July luggage too. I just put it to the test because it’s “unbreakable”, and it really is! Check it out: czcams.com/video/PjqZUVdcTXs/video.html
I know :-/ but honestly the compression is insane on it. I very much overpacked and it was still so easy to compress and close. I could have still done more
I absolutely LOVE my Beis luggage! I’ve taken it on a few cruises at this point and going through the terminal with this bag is SO smooth!! I have not travelled with it on a plane yet, but I will be in a couple weeks! Fingers crossed that it all goes well 😬 I have the mini weekender bag from Beis as well and they pair perfectly together.
According to the dimensions online, it should be ok! It’s 16x16x8, so maybe an inch or so too tall, but if the bottom isn’t filled to capacity, it can squish. I only have the regular size. I’d love to add it to my collection
Have you looked at the Level8 carry -on. It is not expandable, however, it has a compression liner on one side as well as two pockets on the the other side. Take a look.
Hi Marilyn, I actually reviewed two LEVEL8 bags, and am about to use one on my next trip to review it further! czcams.com/video/AGzlhgZ-dgA/video.html.
My childhood friend told me she wanted to travel together and bought an away carry on luggage. Needless to say we are no longer on speaking terms and I moved to a completely different state. I mean I’m not judging her. I’m just saying, in my family we don’t use away. Just respect my values!
Thank you so much for your review! I have a few questions that I wanted to get your opinion on. 1. Do you mind that the compression straps go the opposite direction as the Away compression straps go? Can you still pull them as tight? 2. Do you mind that both the compression straps and the zipper on the other side are not mesh like the Away? 3. Probably the most important…have you had any problems with customer service with Beis? I have heard quite a few issue with their customer service. I have a non flex Away that I had an issue with and Away sent me a brand new bag with absolutely no issue. I am wondering if Beis is the same or difficult as others have stated. Thanks so much for your help!
So this video is somewhat old and I have definitely changed some opinions since then. The compression on both are just okay. Now that I have reviewed over 40 carry ons on the market, this compression on either bag does not compare to anything like Monos or July. Seeing the compression on these bag vs those bags… it’s not as powerful. I’m glad it’s there, and it’s better than no compression. I’ve never used the compression pad for anything, to be honest. As for the Beis customer service, I haven’t had a problem, but I know they are pretty much horrific and have heard tons of horror stories.
I dont have an away bag but from what I have seen there is a magic eraser-type tool that can remove the scuffs and scratches really easily. Have you tried that on your away bag?
Hi there! Thank you for the very informative video! I just purchased the Beis in grey- I love the color sooo much! My question is, at the airport did you try your Beis carryon in that luggage cage thing they have for sizing also , or just the Away carryon? Do you think the Away carryon is bigger than the Beis even though it claims it is “carryon size”? Thanks so much👍🏽
They away and the Beis are the same size pretty much. I just did a video where I took the Beis carry on into sizers for various airlines! Check it out here and enjoy your bag! Beis Luggage Sizer Challenge: Personal item or Carry on? czcams.com/video/4p8XvelDvlA/video.html
Was leaning towards Beis after your great review, but sadly their 21 inch rollers external dimensions are too large for most US airlines that they list on the size checker on the Beis site (when you click view product size just under the color dots). Too big for JetBlue, Alaska, United, delta, American, Hawaiian, allegiant, spirit, west jet, & easy jet :(
Thank you for the review. As of right now, all of the websites are sold out of the carryon. Bummer. I hope they don’t bring it back in stock at a higher price. Can you tell me the depth of each side, please? Trying to figure out if my packing cubes will fit. Thanks!
The price has been the same for years, but I am frustrated with sell outs! This is the longest they have been sold out for, and I feel like it’s because they are launching their new baby pink color soon. As for the dimensions, each side is 5” and the expandable side can get to be 7! The dimensions length and width are also 14x20 :) I’ve never had a problem with my packing cubes fitting! Thanks for being a packing cube fan! You are my people!
Any issues with using the Béis as a carry on bag, traveling domestically on certain airlines? I’ve read multiple reviews from people complaining the bag had to be checked for being too large.
Not anywhere in the US, in my experience so far. some countries have strict baggage rules, such as weighing and inches, but it’s been fine domestically! It has been checked at the gate before, but not because of size, just because I was near the end of boarding zones and there wasn’t room overhead.
Searching for a review on rolling. It doesn't seem to be important to talk about how a spinner rolls, when full. The bag I have now 'catches' if going from concrete to carpet, or onto one of those rolling escalators. I am searching for the bag that rolls better, when full. I see so many reviews of people that say "I haven't used it yet".. ugh... How did these two compare?
I haven’t had a problem rolling either one, or the other 3 in my top 5 (level 8, monos, and july to me are better than beis and away! They roll silently too)
Why is it so hard? Haha! I’m about 10 days into researching for a 20x14x9 where both sides have organization. I found an old clearance calpak that I might just deal with.
Hi! Did you have any issues with getting the Beis on the overhead compartment. I’ve seen mixed reviews that folks had to check theirs in. I just bought the Beis and it looks quite big so contemplating if I should return
Any normal size plane I’ve been fine! There are a few tiny planes I’ve been on (where they don’t let hard shells on) that don’t allow any hard shells but you pick them up as you get off the plane (not at baggage). Most bags (away monos and Beis) are about that size. you can get a 20”. I’m using my LEVEL8 bag on my next flight (international standards are a tad smaller!) if you want to check it out I linked it here :) czcams.com/video/AGzlhgZ-dgA/video.html
@@ItsTheKellys nope. I couldn’t buff it out at all. I was so disappointed in that, especially after paying so much for it. I loved everything else about it. I’m shopping for another bag for my daughter and the Béis and Calpak are on my radar.
@@leannebahuaudbradley569 I had a calpak one before and the zipper ended up busting open after a few years. I don’t like how calpak doesn’t have the compression side, like away and beis. That’s always a pet peeve of mine.
@@ItsTheKellys after much deliberation I tried ordering Calpak and they don’t ship to Canada. So decision was made for me.. Beis it is! Now let’s hope they release a blush pink before I need it! 🤞
How many days do you think you could pack for with the beis? I have the away carry-on, like the regular one not expandable, and I find that I really can’t pack a lot in there :(
I pack for 2 weeks in smaller carry on’s all the time :) I have a whole pack with me playlist where I show what I pack for different trips, if you need help! 🥰
I’m still leaning slightly towards an away carryon, but that’s only because I can buy packing cubes and a toiletry bag that fit the dimensions of the away suitcases perfectly. I’d buy a Beis carryon in a heartbeat if Shay Mitchell did the same for the Beis luggage. It is a nitpick, but I like organised and aesthetically pleasing luggage when packed
Another reason that would make Beis a better buy is for Shay to partner with anker so we can have the option to buy a good quality carryon with a good quality portable charger (that has USB-C input and output along with regular USB outputs)
All of my packing cubes and compression cubes from various companies work perfectly in there :) Beis has packing cubes in black and beige, but sometimes they are sold out. And yes, that would be nice with the charger, but I have my anker in my backpack all the time anyway :) I’m reviewing a july bag next week (with a charger) and it seems indestructible and I’m intrigued!
Unfortunately Beis has since gone up in price and down in quality. I think it has a lot to do with their increased popularity and attention on social media 😭
@@Laura.January my favorite is the Monos hybrid. And then the July carry on and then the Monos Carry on :) the july carry on- get the essential (no power bank or aluminum bumpers) because the power bank is lame and you have to take it out anyway
@@ItsTheKellys thank you so much! I’m so scared of which one to buy 😂 I’ve seen one video of someone fitting more on the beis one and I’ve been watching your videos all night so I want to make sure 😂😂😂
@@GiulieneStefani honestly neither of these are my favorite anymore. If you only fly within the US, they are fine, but if you plan on traveling internationally, they are a bit too big for all airline standards! But as long as you utilize some packing cubes, and the compression, you’re good with both. (But there’s better compression on other bags like july and Monos that can make it hold even more, and fly all airlines!)
Well check out what airline you will likely use to fly and see what their allowances are for size and weight! If it’s 22 x 14 x 9, like most airlines, you would need something like Monos (not plus) which is my favorite currently. (I own them all!) or level8 is always a good one if you are on a little bit of a lower budget.
A weekend away in Switzerland… well depending on your activities, I’d have one outfit for each day, and pack it in one medium size packing cube. I would have a small one for undergarments and socks and a bathing suit if needed. My suitcase would also have an extra pair of shoes if needed and probably a hat :)
It’s average size for a carryon, so it depends on the international airline. I have used it internationally, but only when it fits well. I have a backpack for the other instances.
I’m trying to get my hands on any other suitcase I can to review. Unfortunately I can’t keep buying a bunch of bags, unless the companies maybe choose to send me some. I will be comparing LEVEL8 soon, they are at a lower price point.
Got it. I wrote to away to ask them if the flex has a different outer shell. I absolutely hate how scratched up it has gotten, totally bad quality for that much money :-/
The warranty of Away means nothing. The handle and zipper broke on my Away luggage after just 1 use. Their customer service gave me the run around, it took them over 2 months to fix my luggage (shipped January 2022, I got it back April 2022) , when I got it back, the zipper was still not fixed.
It's funny. I first thought those pockets on the compression sleeve were just stupid and useless. BUT as I've traveled, I have found those to be incredibly useful.

I would have a small one for undergarments and socks and a bathing suit if needed. My suitcase would also have an extra pair of shoes if needed and probably a hat :)
Is the Calpak size ok for international travel as a carry on?
I haven’t worked with Calpak so I’m not sure what their dimensions really are vs on the website
@@ItsTheKellys im such a putz! I meant to ask if beis carry on would work for international travel?
@@LindseyCantu-jd7im Beis is too big for lost international airlines. I wish they would make one that measures under 21.5” !
Hi, can you take the Beis carryon on international plane rides? It seems a bit chunkier than the other carryon’s I have at home. TY!
It’s average size for a carryon, so it depends on the international airline. I have used it internationally, but only when it fits well. I have a backpack for the other instances.
@@ItsTheKellys thank you!!!!
You’re welcome
Does the beis luggage have a handle on the bottom?
Just the top and sides, which is typical
how about Monos?
I’m trying to get my hands on any other suitcase I can to review. Unfortunately I can’t keep buying a bunch of bags, unless the companies maybe choose to send me some. I will be comparing LEVEL8 soon, they are at a lower price point.
I have the Away Large, Medium and Carry On in Asphalt and I love them all.
That’s great, I’m glad they are living up to your standards :) do you have the flex? I feel like that one scratches worse.
@@ItsTheKellys not the Flex. The original Carry On
Got it. I wrote to away to ask them if the flex has a different outer shell. I absolutely hate how scratched up it has gotten, totally bad quality for that much money :-/
Ah man, Beis is 218 now. Bummer
Yeah. It’s actually #4 on my carry on list now anyway
like 7 minute in and basically no relevant info other than scratches
Sorry, the scratches are the part that’s the worst about the away bag. The actual review is a prior video; this is just an update.
And now the Away Carry On Flex is $345
Yes!! So crazy. It was so much cheaper when I bought it!
The thing that sold me on Away is the lifetime warranty.
Beis has one too! That’s what I was initially shopping for when I purchased these 💜
Are the warranties comparable? I've heard Away warranty is better because Beis doesn't cover damage from airline handling
@@sparkles2013 from looking online, they look basically the same.
The warranty of Away means nothing. The handle and zipper broke on my Away luggage after just 1 use. Their customer service gave me the run around, it took them over 2 months to fix my luggage (shipped January 2022, I got it back April 2022) , when I got it back, the zipper was still not fixed.
@@a.blaise9207 yikes! I’m so sorry to hear that. I haven’t been a fan of how mine has worn, so I’m pretty much just not an away fan at all.
Wow, those arms.
wow really chatty
I DO NOT recommend Beis horrible service
Away’s service hasn’t been great either. Now I like Monos and July. Great companies and great unbreakable luggage
@@ItsTheKellys yes I see a lot of people on my area toronto Canada posting Beis stuff.
They are having some drama this year for sure!
