20kilos has been conceived to make packing luggage for air travel easier and provide travel information and tips. There is nothing more frustrating than packing a suitcase or rucsac, placing it on the bathroom scales (if you have some) and then deciding what to remove so you will not be charged excess baggage at the airport.

To make this easy, there is no need to register. Just use the calculator. If you want to alter the quantities, just change the numbers and then click on calculate. The total will be approximate as sizes and materials of goods vary.

If there are goods that you have that are not listed and you know the weight, just use the Miscellaneous Category with the weight required: eg. Musical instrument weighing 2.5 kilos - enter 2 x 1 kilo then 1x 0.5 kilo making a total of 2.5 kilos.
