Frequent flyers will go to great lengths to avoid checking their luggage, going so far as wearing their bulky hiking boots on the plane or vacuum-sealing their clothes before packing them into their carry-on. And with some airlines charging $35 to $100 or more per checked suitcase, these actions are so valid. However, aspiring carry-on-only travelers may be missing out on one critical tip for traveling light: get a better bag.
You can roll instead of fold and stuff your shoes full of socks and undergarments all you like, but you won’t get very far with the wrong carry-on. Choosing a carry-on that’s large enough to accommodate your packing needs is crucial; without it, your attempts at saving space will likely fall flat. Lucky for you, we’ve discovered one that Amazon shoppers claim can fit up to 14 outfits—and it just so happens to be on sale for 25 percent off. Enter: the Sherpani Meridian Carry-on.
Sherpani Meridian 22-inch Carry-on
Amazon
The travel brand Sherpani, known for its anti-theft crossbody bags and convertible backpacks, is hosting a huge Amazon sale, with some of its best-selling commuter and travel bags currently listed at 40 percent off. Included in the sale is the Meridian Carry-on, which measures 14 inches wide and 22 inches tall, wheels included. This rolling carry-on has an expansion zipper that can provide two additional inches of packing space when needed. Inside, the bag has a mesh zipper compartment with compression straps on one side and a rigid divider with organizational pockets on the other.
Thanks to these compression features, pockets, and the expansion zipper, reviewers say they can pack a shocking amount of clothes inside this standard-size carry-on. Plan on bringing 14 outfits? Don’t worry—they’ll all fit. Need to pack three pairs of shoes? No problem—in fact, you can make one of them a pair of hefty combat boots like this reviewer did. Another traveler called it their favorite carry-on “by far” and said it’s “perfect for a week-long trip.”

The Sherpani Meridian has an ultralight polycarbonate shell that the brand calls crush-proof and chip-resistant. It features 360-degree spinning wheels, an 18-inch retractable handle, and a TSA-approved lock. The smooth wheels and telescopic handle make it “incredibly maneuverable and easy to lug around—even when chock-full of clothing and accessories,” one five-star reviewer wrote.
Amazon shoppers say that Sherpani’s Meridian hardside carry-on, which normally goes for $170, is ”worth every penny”—but the black, caribe, and sage colors are marked down to $127 right now.
The Meridian Carry-on isn’t the only Sherpani piece currently on sale at Amazon, though. Keep scrolling for more deals on Sherpani travel bags, starting at just $48.
