Our picks for the best luggage set in Canada

No. 1, best all-rounder: Amazon Basics 3-Piece Luggage Set. This is the set to pick if you want three real suitcases for the least fuss. The listing describes 21-inch, 26-inch and 30-inch hardshell cases in extra-thick, scratch-resistant ABS, with four double spinner wheels, a telescoping handle and a fully lined interior with a divider and zippered pockets. The cases expand by up to 25 per cent (small) and 15 per cent (medium and large). The listing gives dimensions of 14.8 x 10 x 21.7 inches, 17.8 x 11.3 x 26.8 inches and 20.7 x 12.6 x 30.7 inches. At $259.82, it averages 4.3 stars from 58,368 ratings, by far the biggest owner base of the five. The large case adds up to 64 inches, which is over Air Canada’s 62-inch checked limit, so measure before you pack it for a flight.

No. 2, best for staying under the weight limit: American Tourister Westridge Hardside Set. The Westridge set includes a 20-inch carry-on, a 24-inch medium and a 28-inch large case, and the listing gives the whole set a weight of 11.4 kg, the lightest of the three full-size sets here. The shell is scratch-resistant ABS, with top and side grips and a carbon-fibre-textured trolley handle that adjusts to different heights. Every kilogram the case itself saves is a kilogram you can pack inside Air Canada’s 23 kg limit. It costs $275.35 and averages 4.4 stars from 361 ratings. That is a smaller crowd of owners than the Amazon Basics set, so read the comments for your colour and size.

No. 3, best for brand and warranty: Samsonite Centric 2 Hardside Expandable Set. Samsonite’s set pairs a 20-inch carry-on with 24-inch and 28-inch spinners. The listing describes a brushed-texture, scratch-resistant polycarbonate shell, four oversized multi-directional spinner wheels, and a 10-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The set weighs 13.1 kg on the listing, the heaviest here, and at $379.89 it costs more than the Amazon Basics set by $120. It averages 4.2 stars from 177 ratings. You are paying for the polycarbonate shell, the name and the warranty, so read the warranty terms on Samsonite’s site before you decide it is worth it.

No. 4, best for long-term buyers: SwissGear Signature Hardside Expandable Set. This is the priciest set at $550.00, but it also has one of the strongest track records, with a 4.4-star average from 3,387 ratings. The listing names three expandable sizes in the title, 19, 23 and 27 inches, though the description text says 18 inches for the smallest, so check the size you are ordering. It lists ABS construction, four 360-degree spinner wheels, retractable molded lift handles and a 10-year extended warranty. The set weighs 11.5 kg. Price may vary by colour, and the $550 figure is for the Evening Haze set we checked.

No. 5, best for weekend trips on a budget: Amazon Essentials Carry-On Set. This is not a three-suitcase set. It is one 22-inch expandable hardside case plus a tote and a small travel case, and it costs just $131.99. It has the highest rating on the list, 4.6 stars from 737 ratings. The listing gives the suitcase as 15 x 9.3 x 22.6 inches including wheels, which is about 57 cm tall, so it may be taller than your airline’s carry-on limit; check the airline’s current size rules. The whole set weighs 3.94 kg. It suits a couple of nights away, not a two-week trip.

What are Air Canada’s checked bag limits for a luggage set?

Air Canada’s checked baggage page lists a limit of 23 kg (50 lb) per bag and 158 cm (62 in) in total length, width and height for standard economy bags. That matters for sets, because the large case is the one that tends to push the limit. Add up the three dimensions on the listing, including wheels and handles, and remember an expandable case grows when you unzip it. Other airlines and fare classes have different rules, so read yours before you fly. If you only need a cabin bag, see our carry-on luggage guide.

Is a luggage set worth it, or should I buy one bag?

A set is worth it if you will actually use two or three sizes: a carry-on for short trips, a medium case for a week away and a large one for a family trip or a move. Sets usually cost less per bag than buying each separately, and the cases nest for storage. If you only travel once a year with one bag, a single well-reviewed case is the better buy. A set also locks you into one colour and one brand, so a failed zipper means a mismatched replacement.

Hardside or softside luggage sets?

All five sets here are hardside. Hard shells protect contents better from crushing and shed rain, and they look newer for longer, but they cannot squeeze into a tight overhead bin and they show scratches. Softside cases give a little and have outside pockets. ABS shells, such as the Amazon Basics and American Tourister, tend to be lighter and cheaper, while polycarbonate, as used on the Samsonite, is generally listed as more flexible under impact.

When is the best time to buy a luggage set in Canada?

Luggage prices on Amazon.ca tend to move around the big sale periods, including Black Friday (Nov. 27 this year), Boxing Day and, to a lesser extent, Prime Big Deal Days. Those are general patterns, not promises, and a given set may not be discounted at all. Prices also vary by colour on the same listing. If you need a set for a December trip, do not count on a sale arriving in time. Our Black Friday 2026 guide will track what we can verify.

Who should skip these sets

Anyone who flies only with a cabin bag should skip the full sets and read our carry-on guide instead. Frequent flyers who check bags every few weeks may want a single heavier-duty case rather than a bundle. And anyone who needs a guaranteed airline-legal carry-on should confirm the exact dimensions on the airline’s website first, because the carry-on in a set is often a little bigger than the limit.
