PACKING LISTS

What to pack, by destination

Month-by-month weather, the plug you need, entry rules and a checklist for the places Canadians fly most.

Know before you pack

Five rules that catch Canadians out

  • Carry-on size: 55 × 36 × 23 cm fits both Air Canada and WestJet. See the sizes
  • Power banks: carry-on only, under 100 Wh, and at most 2 on international flights since March 2026. Check yours
  • Plugs: India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka still use round-pin Type D sockets that most universal adapters don't fit. Plug type by country
  • Liquids: 100 ml containers in one 1 L clear bag. Bring your water bottle empty.
  • Basic fares: often include only an under-seat bag, so check the size before you fly.
