Pack checklist: what goes where?

Free tool — no ads, no expiry, works offline after first load

Tick everything you plan to bring. The list sorts itself by TSA carry-on rules. Your picks are saved only in this browser — we never see them.

How the split works

Every item maps to its verified TSA verdict: cabin-safe, checked-only (or restricted), and banned from both bags.

Traps it catches

The classic reversals: power banks must go into the cabin, while full-size liquids must go into the hold.

Private by design

Selections are stored in your browser's local storage only. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account to hold it in.
