9 Things to Know When Using FLIT Infographics

FLIT infographics are designed to be simple, streamlined, and consistent across all airlines. Consider this your downloadable cheat sheet for everything you need to know to avoid carry-on penalties and travel with confidence.

Color Code, Airline Name, and Date

In the top left corner, you’ll find the airline’s name and its designated color code. The "Last Checked" field indicates when we last verified this data. If the date isn't recent, head over to flittofly.com to grab the latest version.

Enforcement: LCC vs. Legacy Carriers

Low-Cost Carriers (LCCs) are often stricter with baggage because ancillary fees are a primary revenue source. Legacy carriers usually include baggage in the fare, making them more lenient.

• 🔴 Strict: Likely an LCC. Expect staff to be extremely particular about weight and dimensions.

• 🟠 Moderate: Likely a legacy carrier. They may allow slightly oversized or heavier bags if the flight isn't full.

Fare Type

Not all seats are created equal. Carry-on regulations for Economy fares often differ significantly from Business or First Class. FLIT infographics highlight these differences across different fare tiers and add-ons so you aren't caught off guard.

Weight Limit and Piece Count

It is important to know the weight limit and piece count allowance when it comes to carry-on baggage. Look out for terms like “combined” as it refers to the total weight allowance across cabin bag(s) and personal item(s). For bags with individual weight limits, it will be stated in the infographic.

Cabin Bag vs. Personal Item

• Cabin Bag: The larger bag intended for the overhead bin.

• Personal Item: The smaller bag (like a laptop bag or small backpack) that must fit under the seat in front of you.

Note: Some ultra-low-cost fares have "No Stated Allowance," meaning a personal item might not be included at all.

FLITcase Compatibility

This section shows exactly how your P1 or P2 FLITcase fits the airline’s specific rules.

• 🔴 (Likely) Too Large / Not Allowed : The airline either forbids personal items or the FLITcase exceeds their stated dimensions.

• 🟠 Allowed but Not Ideal : You can use your FLITcase, but the airline actually allows a larger bag, meaning you aren't maximizing your allowance.

• 🟢 Perfect Fit / Likely Allowed: Your FLITcase dimensions match the airline’s limits perfectly or fits the stated examples.

Traveling with Infants

Parents travelling with infants are often allowed to bring additional carry-on items such as a bag for baby food, diapers, or strollers. Regulations however, vary greatly among airlines. This section is dedicated to cover carry-on information for passengers with children.

Unique Regulations

Every airline has unique rules; such regulations can be found in this section. You can also find examples of personal items stated by the airlines here.

Instant Verification

Our goal is to bring your chance of a penalty down to zero. If you are ever challenged at the gate, scan the QR code on the infographic (or on your FLITcase itself). It links directly to a directory of official airline baggage pages, giving you the "source of truth" in seconds.

Conclusion

With so many languages and differing airline rules across the globe, baggage info often gets lost in translation. FLIT infographics provide a standardized, multi-language format to ensure you never pay an unexpected fee again.
