Nordstrom has a rare Away suitcase deal for travelers who never pack light

A good suitcase that’s expandable, fits weeks’ worth of clothing and doesn’t cost a ton is hard to find.
That’s why shopping for the Away The Medium Flex suitcase while it’s discounted during Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is so worth it. The luggage is currently under $300 for a limited time only.
According to the brand, the Medium Flex can hold up to one to two weeks’ worth of outfits, and the polycarbonate build is both water-resistant and lightweight. It doesn’t hurt that it comes in an easy-to-spot color, either.
The interior has a patented compression system, which the brand says maximizes packing space. There are even three mesh pockets, plus one hanging pocket in case you need to take a nice dress or shirt along.
The bag comes with a luggage tag and a water-repellent laundry bag, so you don’t have to worry about your dirty and clean clothes mixing. The 360-degree spinner wheels and adjustable handle also make it easy to carry this bag through security and busy airports without missing a beat.
Other features, like an underside grab handle and TSA combination lock, make it easy to know that this suitcase will stay safe, even during cross-continent travel.
If you need a suitcase that can hold up to 13 outfits at once, this is the suitcase to grab, especially while on sale.
