Coffee Break: Away Luggage

I mentioned this in our big roundup on the Amazon Prime Day sales — but Away luggage is included in the sale this year, including some exclusive colors like sky blue and bright green.
Readers have been big fans of the brand for years, and I can't remember seeing it on sale at Amazon (or anywhere, really). The brand features a “patented dual-buckle compression panel” to fit more in with every trip, as well as smooth-rolling spinner wheels and LifetimeCare Coverage.
The pictured Bigger Carry On was $295, but is now marked to $236 (and other colors are marked to $250).

I live in dread of being asked to gate check my luggage, so only soft luggage for me!
I love it when they check my luggage for free!
Same. There are only 2 direct destinations from my airport, so I will take any opportunity to schlep less stuff across my connecting airports.
seriously. was traveling internationally for the first time in a while and was aghast at how many “international carry ons” are not to regulation size. and by like half an inch! why?!
They make me hate check my soft sided rollaboard all the time.
Yeah I don’t think soft vs hard is that relevant. It’s about dimension and how forgiving your flight attendant is.
Mine is also a backpack, so they tend to ignore me (whew 🥲)
love that typo here!
what are your trusty low executive functioning meals? been sitting here for hours saying “ugh i’m so hungry and tired” and haha it’s because i forgot to eat.
Momofuku noodles—add extra soy sauce, sesame oil, some chili crisp, and if I’m up to it, an egg.
Yep mine is rice noodles with egg and chili crisp
-berries (could be frozen), honey, Greek Yogurt, and a big drizzle of peanut butter on top.
-boiled eggs (I boil a batch at the beginning of the week)
-sandwich, even if it’s just ham, cheese, mustard and bread. I find that once I get one thing into me, I get the energy to add to it, for example cut up and apple or cucumber.
Something with fiber + protein + healthier carbs:
PB&J on whole wheat
Apple & cheese
Granola with milk or yogurt and blueberries
Oatmeal with walnuts & dried cranberries
Tuna & shredded cabbage in a whole wheat tortilla
Toast pizza
Cereal
Nutritionally complete snack food: baby carrots, grape tomatoes, dried fruit, nuts, cheese sticks
TKG (tamago kake gohan) or japanese egg rice. Rice cooker rice, crack and egg into it, put in some seasonings, mix.
Cereal
Clif bar
Toast
ice cream (no really)
No argument from me. I consider icecream fully in the “good for you” category.
I also like the lifeway keffir yogurt drinks.
Protein shake. Impossible burger from the freezer. Tuna sandwich.
Avocado and crisps
Cheese
Yougurt and raisins
Peanuts
Tinned fish on crackers
