How to choose

  • Match your bag: check the sizes of packing cubes against the inside of your suitcase or backpack.
  • Liquids: many airports limit cabin liquids to containers of 3.4 oz (100 ml) or less in one clear bag. Confirm bottle capacity on the listing.
  • Weigh before you leave: a luggage scale costs far less than an overweight-bag fee. Check your airline’s limit.
  • Locks: TSA-approved locks can be opened by US security staff without being cut.
