Tips for Carry-On Travel
Check Dimensions Before Your Flight
Most airlines allow carry-on bags up to 56 cm tall × 45 cm wide × 25 cm deep — including wheels and handles. But low-cost carriers like Ryanair and Wizz Air have stricter rules. Always double-check your airline's website before packing.
Don't Forget Weight Limits
Keep your bag at least 1.3 kg lighter than the airline's maximum allowance. Home scales and airport scales don't always match. SkipBag weighs just 900g empty — giving you maximum packing capacity.
Pack Smart
Use packing cubes to compress your clothes and keep things organized. Wear your heaviest clothes on the plane. Roll — don't fold. SkipBag's dedicated compartments make organization effortless.
Know: Carry-On vs Personal Item
A carry-on goes in the overhead bin. A personal item fits under the seat. SkipBag is designed as a personal item — meaning it's always free, on every airline, every time. No extra fees. No stress.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Ryanair allows one free small bag of 40×20×25 cm. SkipBag measures 40×30×20 cm — it fits within the allowed dimensions and slides right under the seat in front of you.
Absolutely. US airlines like Delta, American, United, and Southwest all allow carry-on bags much larger than SkipBag. Your SkipBag will easily fit as either a personal item or carry-on on any US airline.
SkipBag holds 28L standard and expands to 38L with the zip expansion. That's enough for 5–7 days of travel — including clothes, shoes, laptop, and toiletries.
Airlines may ask you to check it into the hold and charge you a fee. That's exactly why SkipBag was designed to meet even the strictest personal item limits — so you never get stopped at the gate.
