Finnair challenges, Utua responds to hand luggage reform!
How many people noticed the changed hand luggage policies on Finnair's cheaper flights? And did you get a headache when your beloved travel bag no longer fit within the new regulations?
Yes. The dimensions got smaller and this caused discussion and questions here at Utua in the boutique. Because bags are a matter of the heart for us, we listen to our customers' concerns with a sensitive ear.
We started measuring and examining our collection and found bags that fit the new regulations perfectly! It's as if our designer Piia Vähäsalo knew what was coming, incredible!
Weekender bag: The perfect choice for new hand luggage regulations
For weekend trips and maybe even a few days, we recommend the Weekender bag. It fits into the larger carry-on category according to the latest regulations. Especially if you pack your things so that the bag doesn't spread too much beyond its own width at the bottom, but instead builds up the stack of clothes upwards.
There are tons of handy packing videos and tips online. You can cut your clothes into equal-sized squares or roll them into a tube to prevent wrinkles. Both methods will keep your items organized inside the bag and help it retain its shape.
Lightweight and spacious weekenders: Travel in comfort and style
The Weekender is designed to be lightweight, with no weight-increasing reinforcements or heavy details. Only the bottom is reinforced, which allows the bag to be stored comfortably low and space-saving at home. It also comes with a shoulder strap, so it can be carried either on the shoulder or in the hand.
Athene business bag: Combine style and functionality on your business trips
We women usually want to bring this and that. For longer trips, you can take more clothes and accessories with a checked suitcase, but for these quick trips lasting a day or two, it's more convenient to travel with one bag. And if that bag fits in your carry-on luggage, it's so much more convenient.
Athene fits into the dimensions of a smaller bag that can be put under the seat of a passenger, so it is a safe choice. Athene can hold a commuter's laptop, phone, calendar, makeup bag and a light second layer of clothes if you have a night out. Its hardened leather holds its shape firmly, and the items packed in it do not bulge the bag unpleasantly.
There are also several colors for both the Weekender and Athena . Click on the links and see if either one is in your favorite color!
You can also find more detailed information on the baggage allowances, dimensions and maximum weights allowed by different ticket types on Finnar's website.
