TL;DR: Travel smarter with a Runner Smart Luggage Set for $367.99, a 19% savings. 

Sure, pricey luggage like Away deserves a perfect score when it comes to the “cool factor.” But for those of us looking for some serious tech features that significantly ease our travel frustrations, there’s a lot left to be desired. For example, lost luggage. While it may be a rare occurrence, it still happens to about two out of every 1,000 passengers. 

Fortunately, you can reduce the risk of those terribly inconvenient moments ever happening again by grabbing yourself the Runner Smart Luggage Set. This smart luggage raised over $300K on Kickstarter due to its game-changing features and it’s not hard to see why. Every detail of this suitcase is designed to make your life easier.

First, there’s a built-in weight sensor, so you’ll never be stuck guessing if your luggage will cost you an extra $70 bucks at the gate. There’s also a built-in Face ID, Touch ID, and Morse Code, giving you the ultimate security when it comes to protecting your stuff and allowing you to forget your lock combo for good.

The bag creators thought of literally everything, including distance alerts, which let you know if your bag has gotten too far away for comfort. It also has removable wheels so you can always replace them if one breaks — which is actually the main reason people are stuck buying new luggage. Sure, most new luggage features removable battery packs, but this one charges all of your devices (even new gen laptops) on the go. Plus, each of these functions is connected to the Plevo app and can be controlled by you.

Here’s the Runner at a glance:

And perhaps our favorite part of all, this smart carry-on comes with a removable sleeve for your laptop so you won’t even need to open your bag at TSA. 

The Runner rarely goes on sale, but Mashable readers can save a hefty $91 right here, dropping the price to $367.99. Choose from silver, black, red, pink, or blue.
