SkyUp Airlines literally broke into the Ukrainian passenger air transportation market in May 2018. She became the first (and so far the only) private Ukrainian low-cost airline that opened the sky at budget prices to travelers not only from Kiev, but also from regional airports. And although not everything went smoothly at first, Skype continues to develop by leaps and bounds, increasing its air fleet and the number of both foreign destinations and domestic flights in Ukraine. For example, a pre-booked direct flight from Boryspil to Spanish Alicante costs a domestic low-cost airline an order of magnitude less than all other airlines that operate in our country. A one-hour flight by plane from Zaporozhye to Kiev will cost the price of a train ticket in a compartment carriage on the same route. It is not surprising that a request for the type of hand luggage Skype backpack is becoming more popular among our customers.
We make a reservation at once that absolutely all Mark Ryden backpacks and travel bags comply with the standards of this airline. You can choose the most optimal models for air travel in this section. Later we will consider the advantages of this type of carryings during screening at airports and the convenience of moving from a terminal to an airplane. But let’s first, nevertheless, analyze in more detail the basic requirements for the checked-in and on-board baggage of a young air carrier.
SkyUp updated its baggage rules in January 2019 and has not changed them since then. The company pleased the customers by not following the example of European low-cost airlines such as Ryanair and Wizzair, and did not “tighten the nuts to the full” for the passengers with the amount of luggage that can be taken on board. Even in the most economical Basic tariff, a full-fledged carry-on luggage with dimensions 55x40x20 cm (sum of sides 115 cm) is assumed. Anything larger or heavier than 7 kilograms is sent to the luggage compartment for an additional fee. The tariff plans from the Standart level and higher already include 1 piece of checked baggage (up to 23 kg, total amount of sides up to 158 cm), while skyup hand luggage dimensions remain the same.
By the way, in addition to the large main luggage in the cabin, you can also take:
- women or men bag;
- coat or jacket;
- umbrella, magazine, laptop;
It is important that the total weight of additional items except outerwear does not exceed 3 kilograms, and the size is 35x10x20 cm. If you are traveling with a child under 2 years old, it is also allowed to carry baby food with a total weight of up to 5 kilograms, a cradle or a stroller. The list of prohibited items is subject to international safety regulations. It includes weapons, ammunition, liquids and gels in a container of more than 100 ml or a total volume of more than one liter, any sharp objects, including scissors for manicure.
And one more important nuance. Often before a flight (especially the first), a new airline is asked: sky-up carry-on luggage what can I take? But a more correct question would be “what DO YOU NEED to take with you on board, and not check in my luggage?” The company's recommendations clearly indicate that it is better not to send fragile, perishable objects, electrical / photo / video equipment, any gadgets, money, jewelry to the luggage compartment. Since the airline is not responsible for them. And, if they are not insured additionally, the maximum compensation that shines for you in the event of their loss or damage is $ 20 per kilogram of irretrievably lost things. By the way, in our backpacks, transformer backpacks and travel bags there are special compartments for laptops, tablets (with internal softening layers), hidden pockets for valuables, and external pockets for small items like napkins. They are roomy and with them it is really convenient on the road, waiting in the terminal, while passing control. Your hands are free, you are mobile, you are in time everywhere. Travel comfortably with Mark Ryden and SkyUp, which in 2020 will add 30 new flights to its schedule. Enjoy your flights and soft landings!
