When choosing luggage, to-be travelers tend to look for style, quality, space, ease of maneuverability, and, of course, durability. After all, you don't want to be left stranded at the airport because you lost a wheel in the middle of the security line (uh, talk about a travel nightmare).

"There are so many different features now in luggage that make it easier to travel smart," says Jen Ruiz, a travel writer, content creator, and author of The Solo Female Travel Book: Tips and Inspiration for Women Who Want to See the World on Their Own Terms. From 360-degree spinning wheels to impact-resistant exteriors to built-in charging ports, it's important to invest in a luggage set that will make going from the airport to the hotel feel like a breeze and will last for years.

This set from Amazon is not only affordable, but it's also super sleek. (Uh, who said you can't travel in style AND on a budget?) Not to mention, these hard-shell spinners are also very durable for the price point.

"These suitcases have just kept going for us," says one online reviewer who has traveled with this luggage set on multiple trips throughout the last four years. "My kids have slid them down our stairs...they've been tossed into our vehicles and fallen out to the pavement. Most of all, they've been thrown all over the world by airlines (and us) and still work and function great. No cracking, no visible scratching, no fading, no broken zippers, wheels, or handles."
