Which bag can you take on board for free?
Carry-on luggage, hand luggage, personal item: everyone calls it something different, but the question stays the same. Which bag can you bring on board for free, without paying extra at the gate?
Many European low-cost airlines include one small personal item in the basic fare. The condition: it fits under the seat in front of you. That is exactly what the FRENKY Underseater is built for.
Carry-on backpack or carry-on trolley: your call
Would you rather wear your carry-on luggage on your back, or roll it behind you? FRENKY makes both. Same guaranteed size, same vacuum technology.
FRENKY Underseater Backpack
Available in black, grey and blue. Comfortable to carry, even when it is full. Thanks to the vacuum compartment, customers easily pack six days of clothes.
Ideal for: city breaks, weekend trips and travelling on by train or public transport.
FRENKY Underseat Trolley
The wheels are recessed into the frame. That is why the trolley measures exactly 40x30x20 cm, wheels included. With the zip-out vacuum system you pack five to seven days of clothes, without checking in a bag.
Ideal for: long walks through airports and short-haul flights.
What comes with your FRENKY carry-on luggage?
Small size, fully equipped. The backpack and trolley share the same essentials:
- Cabin guaranteed at 40x30x20 cm, wheels included on the trolley
- Built-in vacuum compartment: up to 50% more packing space
- Waterproof toiletry compartment
- Hidden pocket for your passport and valuables
- Laptop compartment up to 17 inches in the backpack, separate laptop sleeve up to 17 inches with the trolley
- Weather-resistant fabric made from recycled PET bottles, with a free laundry bag
Pack more with vacuum compression
Finding a small bag is easy. Fitting everything in is the challenge. Put your clothes in the vacuum compartment and press out the air. Soft items like T-shirts, trousers and sweaters shrink considerably, giving you up to 50% more packing space. Enough for a weekend, and for a longer city break too. See how to pack your FRENKY.
