Baggage / evidence before assumptions

One bag, several different rules.

Item, entitlement, pieces, weight, dimensions, journey, and consequence can all change independently. Start with the field your itinerary has not proved.

Five checks

Choose the guide for your baggage question.

Each path keeps current source context beside a local worksheet. The result is a clearer question or arithmetic comparison, not an airline decision.

Three unbranded bags, from a small personal bag to a checked suitcase, sit inside separate open frames
01 Allowance

Decode what is included.

Separate the personal item, cabin bag, and checked bag. Then record pieces, weight, dimensions, journey coverage, traveler context, and the consequence of exceeding a limit.

Includes private baggage allowance notes

02 Cabin lanes

Check personal-item and carry-on rules separately.

Write down each airline label, fare entitlement, dimensions, weight, placement, and exception without treating familiar names as a universal category.

Includes a private two-lane worksheet

03 Packed size

Measure the bag as you will pack it.

Use the packed exterior envelope, including wheels, resting handles, pockets, and bulges. Compare every axis only with the current rule you entered.

Includes a private three-axis measurement record

04 Connection

Follow the checked bag.

Trace the bag tag, transfer point, border collection, recheck task, terminal movement, and instruction you have not confirmed inside the connection clock.

Includes a private checked-bag transfer card

05 Power banks

Treat a power bank as a spare battery.

Verify the watt-hour rating, apply current limits, protect the device, keep it in the cabin, and remove it before any gate check.

Includes a route-by-route packing checklist

The complete record

Check all seven parts of the allowance.

A confident answer in one row does not fill the others. Use the relevant guide when a line is missing or the itinerary changes.

Before the airport

Recheck after the bag or itinerary changes.

Repacking can change the exterior envelope and weight. A ticket reissue, operating-carrier change, reroute, upgrade, or new airport instruction can change which evidence deserves review.

Do not enter names, booking references, ticket numbers, identity documents, payment details, exact addresses, or other sensitive travel information into a worksheet.

These pages do not maintain live airline allowances, prohibited-item rules, airport instructions, capacity, or acceptance outcomes.

How to check a claim

Confirm each part with the airline.

IATA says allowances and conditions remain airline-specific. The UK CAA also describes variation by destination, airline, and travel class. The seven-field record is Iliamna's inspection framework, not a rule or acceptance result.
