Short Trips,
Holiday Ready.

For a 2-4 day trip, both work. It comes down to how you travel. A spinner carry-on rolls through busy holiday airports and keeps clothes folded and organized. A weekender duffel is lighter, squeezes into car trunks and train racks, and fits under the seat on many flights. In this collection, choose from the Montecito 3.0 Drop Bottom Weekender (34L), the Avalon Drop-Bottom Weekender (38L), the Rodeo Drive 2.0 Softside Weekender, or the Montecito 2.0 Rolling Duffel (50L), which gives you wheels and a duffel's flexibility in one bag.

Most major U.S. carriers allow carry-ons up to 22" × 14" × 9", and our standard spinner carry-ons are sized for overhead bins on most domestic flights. Flying overseas? Many international airlines set smaller limits, so look at our international carry-ons: the Melrose Hardside 19" International Carry-On and the Montecito International Hardside Carry-On. For lighter packers, the small carry-ons (Avalon Softside Small Carry-On, 28L, and Montecito 3.0 Softside Small Carry-On) are an even more compact option. Airline rules vary, so check your carrier before you fly. Our Airline Compliance Checker has size limits for 60+ airlines.

A drop-bottom duffel has a separate zippered compartment along the base, so shoes, toiletries or workout clothes stay apart from everything else you've packed. It's perfect for a weekend away where you need an outfit change, dinner shoes, and a gym bag in one carry. Find it on the Montecito 3.0 Softside Drop Bottom Weekender Duffel (34L) and the Avalon Softside Drop-Bottom Weekender Duffel (38L).

Hardside carry-ons (Summit, Oceano, Laguna, Brentwood, Cambria, Melrose, Montecito 2.0 and Rodeo Drive 2.0 Hardside) have a rigid shell that resists impact and protects gifts and fragile items. Softside bags (Avalon, Montecito 3.0, Rodeo Drive 2.0 Softside and Flight Essentials) have flexible fabric that gives a little in tight overhead bins and usually adds exterior pockets for quick-grab items like chargers and boarding passes. Still deciding? Our Hard vs. Soft Guide breaks it down. Use the Shell filter above to narrow the collection.

These carry-ons include a built-in Travel Sentry® Approved combination lock: Laguna, Brentwood (both styles), Cambria, Melrose (both styles), Montecito 2.0 Hardside (both styles), Montecito International, Montecito 3.0 Softside Carry-On, Avalon Softside Carry-On and Rodeo Drive 2.0 Hardside. The Summit, Oceano, Flight Essentials and Rodeo Drive 2.0 Softside carry-ons, the small carry-ons, and the weekenders and duffels don't have a built-in TSA lock. Check the TSA Lock filter above, or see our TSA Lock Instructions page for how to set your combination.

FastAccess™ is Ricardo's front-panel opening, a zippered panel that swings open like a door so you can reach a laptop, a gift or a change of clothes without laying the bag flat. It's a big help in crowded security lines and small hotel rooms. In this collection, you'll find it on the Brentwood Hardside FastAccess™ Front Opening Carry-On and the Montecito 2.0 FastAccess™ Front-Opening Hardside Carry-On.

Expandable bags have an extra zipper that opens a gusset around the case, adding packing room when you need it, like bringing holiday gifts home. Keep in mind that a carry-on with the expansion zipper open may go over some airlines' size limits, so zip it closed when you board. 14 of the bags in this collection are expandable. Use the Expandable filter above to see them.
