When we designed the FLIT Bag, we built it to be the most affordable, airline-ready personal item bag you can carry on any trip. But the more people began using it, the clearer it became: FLITcase isn’t just a travel bag. It’s a life bag.

Lightweight, foldable, structured, and ultra-functional, FLIT quickly adapts to countless situations—especially the ones you don’t plan for.

From airport emergencies to unexpected scenarios at your travel destination, here are six surprising ways the FLITcase becomes the most useful RM20 you’ll ever spend.

A Smarter Laundry Bag

Every traveler eventually faces the “dirty clothes dilemma”. Hotel plastic laundry bags tear easily, cloth cubes take up too much space, and stuffing worn clothes back into your suitcase is a recipe for odours.

The FLIT Bag solves this instantly.

Because it’s made of durable PP material, it’s:

  • Easy to wipe clean

  • Resistant to moisture

  • Able to separate clean and used clothing

  • Structured enough to keep shape even when partially filled

It becomes the perfect travel laundry bag—light, low-maintenance, and ready to fold flat when not in use.

Your Personal Carry-On Sizer

Imagine this: You’re heading to the airport, and you’re not sure if your backpack or tote fits under the seat. Instead of guessing, you use the FLIT Bag as your personal size checker.

Its dimensions—40 × 30 × 20 cm—mirror common personal-item limits across many APAC budget airlines.

If your bag fits into the FLIT Bag, you’re safe. If it doesn’t, FLIT itself becomes your default personal item.

This single feature can save you from unexpected gate-side charges or last-minute repacking stress.

A Portable Sitting Mat

When space is limited and comfort is optional, the FLIT Bag quietly steps in.

Open it up, lay it flat, and you’ve got:

  • A quick picnic mat

  • A barrier between you and wet benches

  • A ground sheet at airports or festivals

  • A mini mat for outdoor shoe-changing

Because it’s water-resistant and easy to clean, you can confidently sit, kneel, or rest on it when you need a barrier between you and the world.

A Way to Fully Utilise Your Travel Partner’s Carry-On Allowance

Here’s a clever hack seasoned budget travelers swear by.

If you’re traveling with a partner, friend, or family member:

  • You carry your own personal item.

  • They carry theirs.

  • The FLIT Bag helps redistribute extra items between both bags so every kilogram and cubic centimetre is maximised.

Forgot you bought one extra snack box?
Fitting souvenirs awkwardly?
Your partner has unused space?

Just shift the overflow to a FLIT Bag and keep going.
This trick alone can save RM60–RM120 in LCC luggage fees.

The Perfect Shoe Bag

Whether for the gym, sports activities, or travel, shoes are always the hardest to pack cleanly.

The FLIT Bag becomes the ideal shoe companion because:

  • It can fit one or even two pairs of shoes

  • It keeps dirt and odours separated

  • It folds flat when empty—a big win compared to bulky shoe cubes

From running shoes to heels to travel sandals, FLIT stores them neatly and securely without adding unnecessary weight.

Your Reliable Souvenir Haul Bag

Let’s be honest: No one ever returns from a trip empty-handed.

Snacks
Magnets
Local products
Gifts for friends
Duty-free items
A spontaneous night market haul

The FLIT Bag is made for these moments.

It unfolds instantly, holds a surprisingly large volume, and maintains its shape. Whether you’re bringing home bags of coffee from Bali or boxes of Tokyo snacks, FLIT gives you a structured way to carry everything—while staying within airline size limits.

The FLIT Bag: More Than a Travel Essential

What started as a low-cost personal item bag quickly became a do-everything utility tool. Travelers use it in airports, gyms, homes, cars, classrooms, and commutes.

It’s:

  • Affordable

  • Lightweight

  • Airline-compliant

  • Multi-purpose

  • And built to adapt to any situation

RM20 has never stretched further.
