Travel costs and timing are set by rules that are easy to miss until they cost you money at the airport. A checked bag seven pounds over the limit, a tip calculated with the wrong custom, or a photo that fails a visa spec can all derail a trip that was otherwise planned well. These calculators keep the numbers straight before you leave.

Baggage and timing

Most US airlines allow a checked bag up to 50 lb, but the budget carriers use 40 lb. Go over and the fee is steep: a 57 lb suitcase on Delta is 7 lb over, which lands in the 51 to 70 lb tier and adds $100 on top of the normal bag fee. That is $135 each way. Seven pounds is about a pair of sneakers, jeans, a hoodie and a toiletry bag, which you can often move into a carry-on. On the day of the flight, the check-in tool works backward from your departure time to tell you when to leave, when bag drop closes and when boarding starts.

Confirm current fees and limits with your airline, since they change often.
