ByMetz

Are you flying more often with hand luggage only? The ByMetz private label is specially designed to fit on board for free and without hassle: from the popular 40x30x20 backpack for Ryanair and Transavia to roomier underseaters and smart 3-WAY boarding bags. At ByMetz, you buy directly from the maker: 30-day returns.

Which ByMetz hand luggage is right for you?

Our own hand luggage is developed around the exact size limits of major airlines, so you do not have to pay extra. These are the models our customers choose most often:

• 40x30x20 Backpack Ryanair & Transavia: our absolute bestseller. Compact hand luggage backpack that fits exactly within the free size limit of Ryanair, Transavia and Wizz Air and fits under the seat while keeping your hands free.
• 40x30x20 Travel Bag with Luggage Sleeve: the same free size as a travel bag, with a sleeve that slides over the trolley handle. Ideal for Transavia, Ryanair and Corendon.
• 40x30x20 3-WAY Boarding Bag: carry it as a backpack, shoulder bag or handbag. Versatile and always within the free hand luggage size limit.
• 45x36x20 EasyJet Underseater: slightly roomier, with a laptop compartment for laptops up to 17.3 inches, perfect for easyJet and as under-seat luggage.

Not sure which of two models to choose? Consider your regular airline, whether you want a backpack or trolley sleeve, and whether you are taking a laptop with you. This makes it easy to choose the right ByMetz hand luggage.

Which size for which airline?

Each airline has its own limits. With the right size, you can travel without surprises at the gate:

• 40 x 30 x 20 cm: the free small bag under the seat on Ryanair, Transavia, Wizz Air and Corendon. View our 40x30x20 hand luggage.
• 45 x 36 x 20 cm: the underseater size for easyJet. View our underseaters.
• 55 x 40 x 20 cm: large hand luggage for the overhead compartment, including on KLM and Transavia (for an additional fee). View our 55x40x20 hand luggage.

Always check your airline's current requirements, as rules and additional fees change regularly.

Backpack, travel bag or 3-WAY boarding bag?

• Hand luggage backpack: completely hands-free and comfortable to carry on your back, ideal if you walk a lot or have connecting flights.
• Travel bag with luggage sleeve: slides over the trolley handle of a larger suitcase, so you can carry everything together with one hand.
• 3-WAY boarding bag: the flexible choice: carry it as a backpack, shoulder bag or handbag, depending on the situation.

Waterproof, expandable and with a laptop compartment

Many ByMetz models have extra features that make travelling easier. Choose a waterproof version for travelling in all kinds of weather, an expandable model that unzips from 40x30x15 to 40x30x20 for extra capacity, or a version with a padded laptop compartment for laptops up to 18.3 inches. This gives you one bag for your city trip or business trip. Also view our laptop backpacks.

More than hand luggage: ByMetz leather accessories

Frequently asked questions

Which hand luggage can I take for free on Ryanair and Transavia?

With Ryanair, Transavia and Wizz Air, you can take one small bag measuring no more than 40 x 30 x 20 cm for free. It must fit under the seat in front of you. Our 40x30x20 backpacks and travel bags are made to exactly this size, so you do not have to pay extra.

What is an underseater?

An underseater is a hand luggage bag that fits under the seat in front of you instead of in the overhead compartment. Our 40x30x20 and 45x36x20 (easyJet) models are ideal underseaters, handy for bookings that include only a small bag.

Is a hand luggage backpack or travel bag more practical?

It depends on your trip. A backpack is comfortable and keeps your hands free, while a travel bag with a luggage sleeve is convenient if you want to slide it over the handle of a larger suitcase. Not sure? Our 3-WAY boarding bag offers the best of both, as you can carry it as a backpack or shoulder bag.
