Forget the nightmare of your suitcase rolling down the aisle of a moving train or taking up the entire floor of a boutique hotel room. The travel world is buzzing today as Away, the brand that turned the humble suitcase into a status symbol, unveils its most clever design yet.

Enter The Topside Collection: a sleek, hardshell lineup engineered specifically for the savvy traveler who refuses to sacrifice style for space. Launching on May 12, this isn’t just another suitcase; it’s a high-tech solution to the "small space, big itinerary" struggle.

The real showstopper? Away’s first-ever built-in wheel brake system. Whether you’re navigating the jerky movements of a high-speed train or standing on a steep European cobblestone street, a simple click ensures your luggage stays exactly where you put it.

The Topside isn’t just about staying still; it’s about opening up. Unlike traditional "clamshell" cases that need to be spread wide, the Topside features a top-opening lid.

The collection is packed with premium features:

In a move that cements its status as the king of the commute, Away has been named the Official Luggage Partner of Amtrak.

Because the Topside was practically born for the rails, Amtrak customers are being given exclusive early access to shop the collection first. From the tight aisles of a Northeast Regional to the scenic views of the Coast Starlight, Away is ensuring train travel finally gets the "better luggage it deserves."

If the suitcase wasn't enough, Away is also dropping the PackAway™ Closets. These foldable organizational inserts literally transform your bag into a vertical wardrobe. Featuring hanging hooks and zippered compartments, you can now unpack in seconds by simply hanging your gear straight into the hotel closet.

The Topside Collection and PackAway™ Closets launch May 12th at awaytravel.com and in stores nationwide. Get ready to brake for better travel!
