Tool questions

What should I pack in my carry-on for an overnight layover?

The essentials are sleep and comfort items (eye mask, earplugs), basic hygiene, your tech and power, documents and some local cash, plus any medication. This checklist walks you through them — see also our overnight packing guide.

Is my checklist progress saved?

Yes — your ticks are stored in this browser on this device, so they're still here if you come back. Nothing is sent anywhere, and you can reset the list at any time.
