Key Features
I built this after getting frustrated while shopping for a new backpack. I kept switching between product pages, airline websites, and random forums/YouTube videos, trying to figure out if a bag would actually fit as a carry-on across airlines I travel most. It was surprisingly tedious, so I decided to collect the data once and make it available for anyone else dealing with the same problem as a free tool, without constants asking for emails, ads, or whatever.
CarryFit lets you enter your bag's dimensions and checks them against 170+ airlines' carry-on and personal item policies. You can filter by region or specific airlines, and it shows you how well your bag fits each one.
The feature I'm most happy with is soft bag support. Soft bags can compress a bit, so the tool accounts for that flexibility when checking compliance - it makes the results more realistic.
The data comes from airline policy pages (linked for each airline), though I should mention that policies do change and enforcement varies by airport and flight load. I use it myself as a sanity check before trips, but always recommend verifying with your specific airline.
It's open source and runs entirely client-side. Would love to hear feedback or if you spot any incorrect data or got any ideas for improving this tool for the whole community.
