With the Urban Travel Carabiner, the Munich-based company FLYNKA presents an innovative travel accessory that solves a common, previously unsolved problem: securely and easily attaching bags and other personal items—such as a Stanley Cup, a summer hat, or duty-free bags—to a carry-on suitcase. What began as a simple problem solver has become an urban design statement. The name FLYNKA, originally the name of the first product prototype (Fly and Carabiner), has since evolved into a clear brand identity under which future products will be developed.
The founder himself spent a long time searching for a reliable way to secure his bag to his carry-on suitcase—without the precarious improvisations amidst coffee, boarding pass, and personal items. From this everyday challenge arose the vision of offering travelers a tool that reduces stress and provides immediate control. In collaboration with the award-winning design studio FLUID, a product combining functionality, aesthetics, and durability was developed over almost three years.
The Urban Travel Carabiner – available in Hot Red, Classic Black, and Off White – is aimed at frequent travelers who appreciate minimalist design, robustness, and smart solutions. Strong market demand confirms its potential: In addition to a successful launch in its own online shop, the product is very well received in the Lufthansa WorldShop and has already become an international top seller in SWISS Airlines‘ inflight shopping. Travelers worldwide are buying it – and securing an accessory that noticeably improves their travel experience.
FLYNKA has been officially on the market since June 2025. The brand is continuously expanding its portfolio and stands for high-quality, functional, and timelessly designed travel accessories. The Urban Travel Carabiner marks the beginning of a product line that makes modern travel simpler, quieter, and significantly more comfortable. Those who want to experience this new way of urban travel should get on board early.
