The 3-1-1 rule for carry-on liquids: containers of 100ml or less, all fitting in one clear 1-litre zip-lock bag, one bag per passenger. Pack this in an easily accessible spot for security.
Roll, don't fold — rolling clothes saves significant space and reduces wrinkles, especially for t-shirts, jeans, and casual wear. Use packing cubes to keep categories separate and make unpacking fast.
Pack for the return trip — leave space for souvenirs or shopping. A compressed packing cube or a foldable bag inside your luggage gives you expansion room without checking extra baggage on the way home.
Medications and documents always go in your carry-on, never checked luggage. Keep digital copies of your passport, insurance, and bookings in cloud storage accessible offline.
How does the packing list builder work?
Select your destination climate, trip length, and trip types. The builder generates a personalised list with categories for clothing, toiletries, documents, electronics, and more — adjusting quantities based on how long you're going and what you'll be doing. You can check off items as you pack and add your own.
How many days of clothes should I pack?
A common rule is one outfit per day up to 5–7 days, then plan to do laundry. For longer trips, 7 days of clothing is usually enough if you have access to a laundry. The list builder automatically adjusts clothing quantities based on your selected trip length.
Can I customise the list?
Yes — check off items as you pack them, and use the "Add item" field at the bottom of each category to add anything specific to your trip. Use Print to get a physical checklist or Copy to paste it into notes.
What's the difference between carry-on and checked packing?
Carry-on: liquids under 100ml, medications, valuables, electronics, documents, a change of clothes. Checked: larger liquids and toiletries, most clothing, shoes. The list marks items that should always travel in your carry-on.
