When it comes to luggage, names like Samsonite, American Tourister, Antler and July are the ones that are typically thrown around in in-the-know circles.

But one new Aussie brand is attempting to disrupt this status quo, with premium affordable luggage that costs less than your trip to the airport.

Designed to look, feel and most importantly roll like a first-class ticket holder, the brand wants to create good-looking luggage that works but won’t set you back thousands.

You can get a carry-on suitcase for just $39, a medium check-in suitcase for $55 and a large check-in suitcase for $79.

While it might be hard to believe given their affordable prices, the Fly First suitcases boast all the features you know and love from a more high-end brand.

Think smooth, dlouble spinner wheels, TSA locks, premium lining and expandable inner zips for those inevitable European shopping sprees.

Crucially, they are also lightweight.

The medium-sized suitcase, for instance, weighs just 3.5 kilograms, while also swallowing a week’s worth of outfits into its 63-litre capacity.

While the large case weighs 4.6 kilograms and can hold up to 93 litres.

It’s not just suitcases that Fly First has on offer either, as there is also a range of premium accessories.

It’s not just suitcases that Fly First has on offer either, as there is also a range of premium accessories.

Type A travellers who love a good packing system will be taken with the Fly First Packing Cubes (3 or 7-piece sets), which cost just $8.

While others will love the extra TSA locks, silicone luggage tags, straps, and the comfiest memory foam neck pillow this side of the cabin curtain.

Reviews are scant for the Aussie products right now given it’s a new brand, but the label already has nearly 85,000 followers on Instagram and there is a five-star rating on the Big W website.
