Purchased from Hawaii's General Store. Only the largest suitcase applies:
Airstrip & Pilot
A property upgrade for a Private Island that sets your base capacity to 15, 30% faster flights, and free travel (no flight costs). Requires a Private Island with the Airstrip upgrade and hiring a Pilot staff member.
Excursion Faction Special
Each upgrade level of the Excursion faction special adds +1 carrying capacity, up to a maximum of +10. Also reduces travel fees, increases hunting income, reduces rehab costs, and increases Cayman interest.
Company Job Specials
Business Class Ticket (BCT)

Tourism Day
Tourism Day is a special event that occurs periodically in Torn, generally between 26 and 28 September. During Tourism Day events, your total carrying capacity is doubled! This is the best time to make high-volume import runs.

Reading this book increases your carrying capacity by 10 items for 31 days.
