TopsChoose outfits for your planned activities and forecast; check care instructions if you intend to wash them away from home.3
Pants, shorts or skirtsChoose pieces you can combine with your tops; this count excludes the outfit worn for travel.2
UnderwearAdjust the count to nights away and your laundry plan; drying time depends on fabric and conditions.3

Light sweater or layerChoose for the forecast and your outfits; skip a packed duplicate if you wear it for travel.1

Security liquids bagAt US TSA checkpoints, all liquids go in one clear, resealable quart-size bag per person.1

Check your ticket's bag allowance for every flight and measure your bag including handles and wheels. Liquids and power banks have their own security rules: pack toiletries so they're easy to show at the checkpoint, and keep power banks in your carry-on, never in a checked bag.
Before you shop
Check the booking before choosing a bag
Confirm whether your ticket includes only an under-seat bag or also a larger cabin bag. Measure the bag you own, including handles and wheels, against the operating airline's limits. If you need a replacement, choose the exact model and size before a Muchita Shopping price check; check delivery charges separately.
Adjust the clothes before adding organizers
Lay out outfits for the trip's weather and activities, then edit the example quantities. Count clothes worn for travel separately so you do not pack duplicates. Try the bag with what you already own before buying packing cubes or extra accessories.
Check toiletries and supplied amenities together
Ask what your accommodation supplies before packing more shampoo or body wash. Check the permitted containers and bag for your departure and any transfer checkpoint; a bottle's capacity matters even when partly filled. Use well-closed containers and keep the items needed for screening accessible.
Prepare for the larger bag to leave the cabin
Keep travel documents and essential electronics easy to remove if the airline sends your larger bag to the hold. Check how your operator wants cabin items packed. A second bag is useful only when your allowance permits it; it is not automatically included with every ticket.
Questions about this list
Will a bag sold as cabin size fit every airline?
No. Check the operating airline and your ticket for each flight, including the return. A store's cabin-size label does not confirm the permitted dimensions, weight or number of bags. Measure the actual bag, including handles and wheels.
Do the same liquid rules apply at every airport?
No. For standard toiletries at US TSA checkpoints, containers must be 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or smaller and fit in one clear quart-size zip-top bag per person. Check current exceptions and the rules at each departure and transfer checkpoint.
Can a power bank stay in a bag sent to the hold?
Under US FAA rules, remove power banks before the bag goes into the hold and keep them in the cabin with terminals protected. Your airline can impose stricter capacity, quantity and use rules; check them before packing.
