What is the smart packing assistant?

The BringOnPlane smart packing assistant is a privacy-first travel organizer built to prevent security-checkpoint surprises and gate-check fees. It cross-references your itinerary with a database of 196+ travel items mapped against TSA, FAA and IATA guidance, then flags prohibited items, checks 3-1-1 container limits and warns about unsafe lithium battery placement.

Whether you are packing for a two-day weekend, a business flight, a long-haul international holiday or a camping trip, every list stays on your own device — full privacy and full offline access at the gate.

Real-time TSA matching

Every item you add is evaluated against 196+ security rules for carry-on and checked baggage eligibility.

3-1-1 liquid quantity warnings

Liquids, gels and aerosols are detected automatically, with a reminder to keep containers under 3.4 oz (100 ml).

Lithium battery safety alerts

Power banks and spare batteries are flagged so they stay in cabin baggage, as FAA safety rules require.

Destination intelligence

Suggests gear based on where you are flying, from universal plug adapters to passport copies.

One-click PDF & print export

Turn your active trip into a clean, printer-friendly checklist grouped by bag, with real checkboxes.

100% offline & private

Every itinerary is saved in your browser’s private storage — no account, no server sync.

TSA 3-1-1 liquids rule quick reference

49 CFR § 1540.111 — Transportation Security Administration (TSA)

All liquids, gels, creams, pastes and aerosols taken through a checkpoint must be in containers of 3.4 oz (100 ml) or smaller, and every container must fit inside one clear quart-sized zip-top bag per passenger. Medically necessary liquids, prescription medication, baby formula, breast milk and toddler juice are exempt from the container limit but must be declared for separate screening.
