Airlines Collect Billions In Bag Fees Every Year... Most Of It Avoidable

Most airlines let you bring one personal-size item on board free, in addition to your carry-on. Lumatra is built to the exact edge of that allowance, so you use every inch you're already owed.

1 In 3 Travelers Paid A Bag Fee Last Year And Never Had To

Checked-bag and oversized carry-on fees cost travelers billions industry-wide every year. Most of it is avoidable with a bag that's actually built to the size airlines already let you bring for free.

Why Lumatra Beats The Sizer

Most airlines allow one personal-size item on board free of charge, on top of your carry-on. Lumatra is built to the exact edge of that allowance, so you use every inch they already give you — and they can't charge you for it.

How to Pack It

1
Unfold & Load
Lay the garment panel flat and hang blazers, dresses or suits along the fold line — the wrinkle-guard lining keeps every crease exactly where you left it.
2
Fill the Duffle Side
Pack up to two weeks of folded clothing plus shoes in the spacious duffle compartment, with dedicated space for shoes, toiletries and tech.
3
Fold, Zip & Glide
Fold the garment panel over, zip the water-resistant PU leather shell shut, and click out the trolley to roll it straight to your gate.
The technology

How It Works

Wrinkle-Fold Garment System A fold-out garment panel cradles blazers, dresses and suits along the crease line, so they arrive ready to wear — no steaming required.
2-in-1 Duffle & Rolling Trolley Carry it by the shoulder strap or click out the discreet trolley and glide it through the terminal — switch between the two in seconds.
