This page explains the assumptions, data and limits used by WalizkaTo. The goal is a result that is understandable and independently checkable.

The service does not hide its logic behind a score or artificial intelligence. You can change quantities, weights and limits, and exports preserve your own settings.

Time-sensitive information carries a verification date. Before travel, always check your booking conditions and official airline and airport notices.

Cabin bag
A bag carried in the cabin, usually in an overhead bin.
Linear size
The sum of length, width and depth.

How to read baggage terminology

Practical rules

  • “Personal item” describes how a bag is carried, while the exact allowance comes from the airline and fare.
  • Dimensions include protruding parts, so a product label can differ from the measurement of a packed bag.
  • A weight margin is a planning buffer, not an additional check-in entitlement.
  • Glossary terms simplify planning but never replace the conditions of carriage.
