For a fully personalised, interactive version you can check off as you pack, use the Packing List Builder.
How many clothes should I pack?
For a 14-day trip, aim for one outfit per day up to 5 days, then plan on doing laundry. Rolling clothes saves space and reduces wrinkles. Use packing cubes to keep categories separate and make unpacking faster at your destination.
What should go in my carry-on bag?
Always carry-on: passport and travel documents, medications, phone and charger, a change of clothes, valuables, and any liquids in containers under 100ml in a clear zip-lock bag. Items marked "carry-on" in the list above should never go in checked luggage.
