Description: Flighten Up offers a unique way of targeting airport consumers pre-security offering two services directly related to traveling that have never been offered before. Our patented dual scale luggage-weighing device allows travelers to weigh their luggage prior to checking in with their carrier. This service has been needed and wanted by travelers for years as baggage fees have been on the rise. By allowing the traveler to weigh their luggage prior to checking in, travelers will not feel pressured, rushed or embarrassed to rearrange their personal belongings to make their luggage weight compliant. If a traveler is unable to make their luggage weight compliant, Flighten Up self service Automated Retail Stores will sell compact duffel bags that fold to the size of a book and compact backpacks that will allow a traveler to carry personal belongings. Through the research Flighten Up has conducted it is far less expensive to check another piece of luggage then to check an overweight piece of luggage. If the traveler is under the allowed personal items or carryon items, our duffel bags and backpacks can also be used as either a carryon item or personal item for free. Our company will house over 40 SKUs all travel related, offering the traveler a variety of top selling travel items. Items will range from compact duffel bags to luggage locks, handle straps, luggage huggers, airport booties, socks, compact garment bag, compact backpack and items that are trendy at the time.
