The Carry-On Trip Packing & Fee-Avoidance Kit
- Capsule wardrobe planner plus a 4-week practice pack plan with a pass check every week
- 11 fill-in worksheets, 35 print pages, 2 filled-in examples
- Every airline's carry-on and personal item limit, TSA liquids and FAA battery rules
30-day money-back guarantee. Every dollar back if it doesn't help.
Pack any trip into a bag that passes the sizer, know every airline's carry-on and personal item limit before you book, and stop paying bag fees you could have avoided at home.
For example, results vary: Frontier's own page lists $75 for a checked bag of 41 to 50 lb, and Delta's lists $100 for 51 to 70 lb. Avoid one fee like that and the kit has paid for itself.
Replaces packing the night before and hoping, a bag trusted from its listing size, and a gate or checkpoint surprise over liquids, a power bank or a few extra pounds.

Who it's for
- Anyone flying a low-cost fare that includes only a personal item, who wants the whole trip in that one bag
- Anyone who has had a carry-on gate-checked or paid an overweight fee and wants it not to happen again
- Anyone packing a week or more into a carry-on for the first time, who would rather practice before the trip than at the counter
- Anyone flying more than one airline on a trip, where the tightest limit decides the bag
Who made this
Built by the CarryOnSizer team, the people behind this site's airline limit pages, fit checker and fee estimator. Every airline figure comes from the site's own data, read from each airline's own baggage page; liquids rules cite TSA 3-1-1 and TSA's "What Can I Bring?" pages; battery rules cite the FAA. Researched, not professional advice; check your airline before you fly.
30-day money-back guarantee
Use the whole kit. If it doesn't help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.
Questions
How do I get it?
Pay on the secure Stripe checkout and you land straight on your download page: the full PDF, a ZIP of every sheet as its own printable page, and the companion spreadsheet. Bookmark that page to download again later.
Does it really pay for itself?
For example, results vary: Frontier's own page lists $75 for a checked bag of 41 to 50 lb and Delta's lists $100 for 51 to 70 lb. Weighing and measuring at home with these sheets is how a fee like that gets avoided, and one avoided fee is more than the kit costs. That is not a promise, and the Trip Log is where you write the specific catch down.
Are the airline limits current?
They come from this site's own airline data, read from each airline's own baggage page and dated. Airlines change limits and fees without notice, so every sheet tells you to check the airline's page before you fly and gives you a place to write the date you checked.
Do I need a new bag?
Usually not. Most gate checks and overweight fees are fixed by measuring the packed bag, weighing it and packing less, which is what the practice plan does. The buying planner is there for when a bag really is too big for the airlines you fly.
What if it is not what I expected?
Use the whole kit. If it does not help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked.
Does this replace the free calculators on the site?
No, it works with them. A calculator answers one question and forgets it. The kit keeps your bags' real measurements, your capsule, your practice packs and your trip logs together on paper, and points at the online buyer guide for current prices.
