Most volunteers bring two carry-on items (like a backpack or a purse, and a smaller suitcase) and 1-2 checked suitcases, but how much you pack is up to you. Once your flight is purchased by ILP, check with the airline you’ll be flying with to see what their baggage policies are. Volunteers are responsible for their own baggage fees if any. Many airlines will allow one free checked bag (up to 50 lbs) and have a fee for the second bag, but you’ll need to double check the exact policy.
