Ryanair's free personal item is 40x30x20cm. Most people use a small tote or a daypack and leave half the space empty. The SZLX vacuum travel backpack is built to those exact dimensions and comes with a compression pump to squeeze far more inside than a standard bag of the same size.

The idea is simple. Pack your clothes into the vacuum compartment, seal it, use the pump to compress everything down, and you have a bag that looks regulation-size but holds significantly more. No checked baggage fees. No waiting at the carousel. No 15-minute queue at the bag drop.
π What's in the bag
The SZLX backpack has a dedicated laptop sleeve that fits up to 14 inches, a separate shoe compartment to keep footwear away from your clothes, and the main vacuum-compression section where the bulk of your packing goes.


It is unisex, designed to look like a standard travel backpack from the outside. Ryanair staff will not stop you at the gate.
π§ How it works
- Pack clothes into the vacuum section
- Seal the zip properly
- Use the included hand pump to compress
- Load laptop, shoes, and smaller items into the other compartments
- Board. Walk straight off. No fees.
The bag is designed for Ryanair and Wizz Air's free personal item allowance specifically. At 40x30x20cm, it fits under the seat in front of you.
Weekend trips, city breaks, work trips where you can't be bothered with checked luggage. The SZLX vacuum backpack is built for exactly those.
