PackPerfect

Packing list for flying

These are the extras for the airport and the flight, on top of the Essentials further down. When a trip in PackPerfect has plane as its travel mode, this list is ticked for you.

Liquid and cabin bag rules differ between airports and airlines, so check your carrier's own pages before you pack. PackPerfect works from the limits you enter, not from your airline's.

The phone charger, fourth on Just Cover's list of what people forget (opens in a new tab), is in the Essentials and marked must-have.
