Pack 3x more without paying for it at the gate.
A compact vacuum compression kit that shrinks your clothes by up to 70% so that a full week's wardrobe fits inside Ryanair's, Wizz Air's, and EasyJet's strictest carry-on size. Three bag sizes, one cordless USB-C pump, zero gate fees.
Airlines like Ryanair, Wizz Air, EasyJet, Frontier, and Spirit charge for the space your bag takes, not the weight. Most check-in penalties happen because your soft items (jumpers, jackets, jeans) fill 60% of your carry-on with air. TravelVac removes the air. Roll your clothes into one of the three sealed bags, run the pump for 30 seconds, and 70% of the volume disappears. Same clothes, third of the space.
The cordless pump is USB-C rechargeable and the same size as a standard deodorant - it fits in your toiletry bag, not your suitcase. The bags are reusable PA/PE film designed remove oxygen, with high durability and flexibility, to seal hundreds of times without losing grip, so one kit replaces single-use packing cubes for years. No batteries to replace, no wires to detangle, no scrambling for hotel outlets.
Three bag sizes for three packing jobs. One pump that fits in any toiletry bag.
The bags are built from a polyamide and polyethylene composite, the same multi-layer film used in food-grade vacuum storage. PA gives the bags puncture resistance and prevents stretching; PE provides the airtight seal that makes the compression actually hold for the full flight. The two-layer construction is why these bags work after 100+ uses.
The cordless pump is housed in ABS, the same impact-resistant plastic used in suitcases, helmets, and Lego bricks. It survives being dropped in a backpack and tossed in a checked bag if you ever need to fly heavy. Lightweight enough to forget you packed it, tough enough that you won't have to replace it.
ABS shell, cordless, ~30-minute full charge, fits in your toiletry bag. Powers through one full kit's worth of bags on a single charge.
For underwear, socks, T-shirts, and other small soft items. Compresses a full week's worth of basics into a single sealed pouch the thickness of a magazine. PA/PE film, hundreds of uses per bag.
Sized for jumpers, hoodies, and bulkier tops. The bag that earns its keep on winter trips - a thick fleece and three knit sweaters fit in the space of a paperback after compression.
For jeans, jackets, and outerwear. The size that determines whether your winter coat travels or stays home. Large enough for a full down jacket compressed to the width of a folded shirt.
The math is simple. Avoid one gate fee, and the kit's paid for.
Ryanair's free under-seat allowance is 40×20×25 centimeters. Most travelers can't fit two days of clothes in that, let alone a week. With TravelVac you compress your soft items by up to 70% - so a week's wardrobe, a pair of shoes, and an extra layer all fit under the seat in front of you. No overhead bin scramble. No paying at the gate.
Ryanair charges up to €75 at the gate for an oversized cabin bag. EasyJet up to £50. Spirit up to $99. The full TravelVac kit costs less than one fee. Use it twice a year and it's already a 5x return. Use it monthly - like the digital-nomad and weekender crowd - and you'll save hundreds in a year you'd have paid in penalties.
Premium luggage brands sell you bigger suitcases. TravelVac does the opposite: it makes your existing bag work for airlines specifically engineered to penalize bigger luggage. If most of your flights are on Ryanair, Wizz Air, EasyJet, Vueling, Spirit, Frontier, or Jetstar, this kit was designed for your trips. If you only fly business on legacy carriers, you don't need it.
The hidden cost of carry-on overage isn't the fee - it's the 45 minutes at baggage claim on the other end. TravelVac eliminates the temptation to spend extortionate amounts of money to upgrade to checked baggage. You walk off the plane, skip the carousel entirely, and you're in a taxi while everyone else is still watching the conveyor. The kit pays you back in time just as much as it pays you back in money.
Flew Dublin to Faro last weekend on Ryanair. Used the TravelVac on my clothes and got a full week's supply into my underseat bag. The guy at the gate measured it without comment and waved me through. Watched two people in front of me get hit with €75 fees for bags that looked exactly like mine did before I compressed everything. Paid for the kit twice over on one flight.
Thought this was going to be marketing nonsense. Tested it on a fleece, two jumpers, and four T-shirts before my last trip - went from filling half my suitcase to fitting in a pouch the size of a laptop. Pump charged in about 20 minutes off my MacBook charger and sucked all three bags down in under two minutes total. Genuinely changed how I pack.
Bought the 9-bag kit two months ago. I've been on six Wizz Air flights since and not paid a single oversize fee or for any check-in bags. Before TravelVac I was paying €35-50 a trip for a suitcase. Quick math says it's already saved me about €200. The pump is on its original charge from week one - barely uses any battery per session.
Got the 12-bag kit for me and my partner. We did a 10-day trip through Spain entirely with cabin bags. No checked luggage, no gate fees, walked off every flight straight to the metro. The big bags fit her dresses and my hoodies, the small ones handled all our basics. Pump worked through all 12 bags on one charge with battery to spare. Best travel purchase we've made in years.
The compression absolutely works. I fit a long-weekend of clothes into my Ryanair underseat bag for the first time ever. But anything that wrinkles easily comes out looking like it spent a week balled up in a fist. Fine for casual trips. The kit gets four stars because that limitation isn't really TravelVac's fault, vacuum compression is just inherently wrinkly. Would still buy again.
Used the 6-bag kit for one Lisbon weekend and immediately bought 3 more kits for my parents and my sister. Mum flies budget to visit me in Berlin every couple of months and was paying €40-60 a trip in fees. She used the kit on her last flight and just texted me from baggage claim that she had no issues. If you have anyone in your life who flies Ryanair more than twice a year, just buy them this. They'll thank you.
Travel Lighter, Travel Cheaper
Yes - that's the size constraint the kit was specifically designed around. A typical week's worth of soft items (5 T-shirts, 5 underwear sets, 2 pairs of socks, 1 jumper, 1 pair of jeans) compresses into roughly the volume of a hardback novel. You'll still need to pack thoughtfully - shoes and toiletries don't compress - but the soft-clothing volume is what usually pushes a bag over the limit, and that's exactly what TravelVac eliminates.
Yes, fully cordless. It charges via USB-C - the same cable as a modern phone, AirPods, or Kindle. A full charge takes about 45 minutes and powers through one complete kit (12 bags) on a single charge. No batteries to buy, no plug adapters to remember.
Yes - designed for hundreds of seal/unseal cycles each. The PA/PE film is the same material used in food-grade vacuum storage. Treat them gently (don't pack anything sharp directly against the bag) and they'll outlast most suitcases.
Some - yes, especially items that wrinkle easily anyway like linen and dress shirts. Knits, denim, fleece, athletic wear, and most casual cotton are fine. We recommend keeping a single shirt or dress flat-folded outside the bags if you have something formal that can't be ironed at your destination. For everything else, the time saved at the gate is worth a quick hotel iron on arrival.
60-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Use the kit on one trip - if you don't save space, save money on a gate fee, or both, email us within 60 days of delivery and we'll refund you in full. Keep the kit. We'd rather lose the COGS than have a customer who paid for something they didn't use.
The 6-bag kit (2 Small, 2 Medium, 2 Large) is enough for one traveler on weekend or week trips. The 9-bag kit covers couples traveling together or solo travelers who like packing options. The 12-bag kit is for families, frequent long-trip travelers, or anyone who wants to leave a permanent set in their luggage and never repack the kit between trips. The 9-bag kit is the most popular - usually the right balance of value and flexibility. The 12-bag kit is the best value: perfect for a family holiday, or for a solo traveler on a long getaway.
Yes - Spirit, Frontier, and Allegiant in the US use similar size restrictions and similar gate-fee penalties to the European budget carriers. The kit is built to the smallest dimension standard (Ryanair under-seat), which means it works automatically for any larger allowance. Standard US carriers like Delta and Southwest give you more room anyway, so the kit just lets you pack lighter and skip checked baggage entirely.
