About Travel Countdown & To-Do Planner
Shows the number of days until your departure and schedules common pre-trip tasks — booking flights, arranging insurance, notifying your bank — based on how far in advance each one typically needs to happen. Tick tasks off as you finish them; overdue tasks stay highlighted until you do.
Enter your departure date (it's shared with the other travel tools) and a schedule of tasks sorted by due date appears. Tick each task when it's done. Your date and ticks are kept for this visit only.
The tasks closest to departure (packing, checking in for flights) tend to get remembered on their own — it's the tasks 4-8 weeks out (insurance, bank notifications) that are easiest to forget entirely without a reminder like this.

- The tasks closest to departure (packing, checking in for flights) tend to get remembered on their own — it's the tasks 4-8 weeks out, like insurance and bank notifications, that are easiest to forget entirely without a reminder.
- Is there an official rule for liquids in carry-on bags?
- In the US, TSA allows liquids, gels and aerosols in carry-on bags in travel-size containers of 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less, with each passenger limited to one quart-size bag (the 3-1-1 rule). This tip is general information and rules can change or differ by country and airline, so check the official source before you fly. Official source: TSA: liquids, aerosols and gels
