Luggage: Delsey Turenne Carry On | Carry-on Personal Item: Longchamp Le Pliage Tote Airplane Outfit: Top , Bottom , Shoes

I usually suggest you first decide everything you need to bring before choosing your luggage and other travel gear. Every trip is different and the suitcase that works for one type of adventure may not work for the next.

Best Selling Carry-on: Delsey Paris Helium Aero Luggage

Read this guide on How to Choose the Best Suitcase for details on the best sizes, wheels, materials, and more.

If you’re planning a long-term trip or are traveling to a destination where wheels won’t work well, a backpack is the ideal option. Read this guide on How to Choose the Best Backpack for Travel .

You’ll want to bring a personal item for the plane in addition to (or instead of) an in-flight purse. Read this to determine what exactly is a personal item and if you should bring one on your particular trip.

A purse for travel is a must-have for a day spent sightseeing, here are the factors you should keep in mind when choosing which day bag to join you on your next trip!

Best Packing Cubes: Compass Rose

In addition to your luggage, travel accessories such as packing organizers are highly recommended. They not only help you stay organized and less stressed while traveling, they enable you to travel carry-on only on just about any trip. We recommend these packing cubes – they’re ours!

Packing Cubes for Clothes
Packing Organizer for Accessories
Packing Organizer for Electronics
Toiletry Bag
First Aid (if applicable)
Document Holder
Other Organizers (as needed)
Daypack/Personal item

Depending on where you’re going, how you’re getting there, and what you’ll be doing, this essentials list has you covered with every little necessity to help you be prepared and enjoy your trip to the fullest!

Watch this video to discover TFG editor’s travel capsule wardrobe must-haves, that are versatile, chic, and timeless

No matter where you travel and how long you plan to go for, start by choosing ten clothing items for your trip to act as the core of what you bring. If you could only bring ten items and no more for this particular trip, what would they be?

Shirt | Tank | Shorts | Sandals | Hat

These ten clothing items will act as the essentials in your travel wardrobe, also known as a capsule wardrobe . These ten items should be interchangeable so you can mix and match them to create different looks.

Versatility is key to a capsule wardrobe. Learn more in my guide !

Best Selling T-Shirt: L.L. Bean Pima Tee

In order to choose these ten core items most effectively, follow these guidelines on How to Create a Capsule Wardrobe for Travel . It includes eight examples for you to follow including options for both summer and winter.

Dress (or other) 1
Dress (or other) 2

Visit our travel clothing category for product suggestions including the best travel pants , stylish travel dresses , and the best cold weather items .

TFG Editor wearing her favorite travel jacket: Eddie Bauer Charly

Now that you’ve chosen these ten must-have clothing items, consider what other pieces you need based on other considerations such as the weather and activities such as working out or swimming.

You’ll also want to choose your underwear and bras after you’ve chosen your clothing so you know exactly which fabrics, colors, and styles to choose.

Icebreaker 175 Everyday Long Sleeve Crewe

Nude colors (or the color closest to your skin tone) are best for bras as this color can be worn underneath all other colors. Here are more tips on how to choose the best bras for travel .

For underwear , we recommend an average of ten (or one for every day of your trip up to ten days). If you’re traveling longer than one week you can hand wash them along the way. Read this post for recommended travel underwear .

Outerwear 1
Outerwear 2
Sleepwear 1
Sleepwear 2
Underwear 1-10

Add thermal underwear for cold weather trips!

Leith Dress ( similar) | Naot Sabrina Flat Sandal | Rebecca Minkoff Backpack | Sunhat

Your accessories should first and foremost offer functionality such as warmth in the winter or protection from the sun in the summer. You can incorporate style into your wardrobe through the colors, prints, and designs you choose for these items.

Best Walking Shoes For Travel: Skechers Go Walk 4 Charcoal Comfortable Sneakers

For shoes, we recommend you pack three pairs (no less than two, no more than four). Bring one for sightseeing (walking), one for any special activities you might be participating in, and an additional pair as needed. The third pair can either serve for function to account for changes in the weather or it can be a dressy option.

We have an entire category on the website dedicated to the best travel shoes including ballet flats , walking shoes , travel sandals , hiking shoes , waterproof boots , ankle boots , and more.

Purse – Day
Purse – Night
Sunglasses Case
Watch (or Travel Clock)
Gloves (if applicable)

Watch this video to learn how to downsize toiletries

Toiletries are one of the most challenging things to bring on vacation especially if you want to travel light. While they vary for each individual there are some general guidelines you can follow.

“Travel size” 3oz or 100ml products and containers are sometimes more or less than what you actually need, so use travel containers like these instead. They’ll enable you to bring only the amount you’ll use for your trip.

Best Selling Toiletry Bag: eBags Pack-it-Flat Hanging Toiletry Kit

Just like luggage, the functionality of toiletry bags differs and one may not meet the needs of every trip. Read this list of the best toiletry bags for travel so you can determine which options make the most sense for your needs. Generally speaking, hanging toiletry bags like these offer the most versatility.

Conditioner
Leave-In Conditioner
Soap/Body Wash
Deodorant/Antiperspirant
Body Moisturizer
Face Moisturizer

Optional Toiletries:

Baby Powder (hot climates)
Pumice Stone
Hair Styling Product
Female Urinal Device
Menstrual Cup
Toilet Paper

Read this guide on how to choose toiletries for your trip .

First Aid Kit (optional)

Not all travelers pack a full-size first aid kit and you can usually buy most things on the road. However, it’s a good idea to take one or two doses/packets of each of these items and create your own “mini first aid kit ”.

Prescription Medication
Contact Solution (if needed)
Pain Relievers
Travel-size Tissue Packet
Digestion Tablets
Upset Stomach Medication
Allergy Pills
Motion Sickness Tablets
Antibacterial wipes/gel
Bug Repellant (Deet-Free)
Travel Size Sewing Kit

Watch this video to learn how to downsize your makeup.

Just as with clothing, create a capsule makeup collection when you travel that includes only the essentials. Use small travel containers like these to avoid taking large products such as foundation and concealer.

Eyebrow Pencil
Eye shadow palette
Lipstick/lip gloss

Read this guide on how to downsize your makeup when traveling.

Hair / Grooming

Instead of bringing all your hair tools when traveling, contact your accommodation to determine if they provide items such as an iron or hair dryer.

Best Travel Hair Dryer: BaBylissPRO Travel Dryer

Instead of full size products, invest in travel size dryers or straighteners if needed. A nicely groomed mane adds the perfect finishing touch to a perfectly planned travel outfit.

Travel Size Hair Brush
Travel Size Mirror

Optional Hair Tools:

Travel Size Blow Dryer
Travel Size Hair Dryer Brush
Travel Size Flat Iron
Travel Size Curling Iron

Watch the packing tutorial on Youtube !

In order to avoid overpacking, take the time to plan and research before your trip. Find out the weather forecast, cultural considerations, and finalize your activities so you can accurately determine exactly what you will and will not need for your trip.

The biggest game changer for me was using packing cubes – they completely transformed the way I traveled and I was able to travel full-time carry-on only for several years!

The video below shows you the technique I use to travel carry-on for every trip:

Compass Rose Travel Packing Cubes

As shown in the video, I use slim size packing cubes . When I first started using them in 2013, I was finally able to downsize my luggage from a 65L Osprey Aura backpack to the 40L Osprey Farpoint .

The clothing used in the video is an example of what someone would pack for a long trip consisting of various climates, activities, and the need to be ready for anything.

Read this post where I explain everything you need to know about packing cubes including what they are, how to use them, their benefits, and the best brands. Trust me, they’re the ultimate game changer!

I hadn’t traveled much, really, in over 2 years…thank goodness for finding your site! Now I’ll be well prepared for my new obsession, i.e., my next trip…

I am OBSESSED with packing lists and this post is probably my favorite I’ve come across. I think when I was planning a trip to Italy, this was my go-to read for all of the international travel essentials. Thank you so much!!

I have found this info very useful. I’m so happy I found your site when I was researching for my first overseas trip. Now I use what I’ve learned for all my travels, near and far. Thank you!

These packing lists are so complete. I had my own excel spreadsheets that I used for each trip, but these leave no stone unturned. Keep up the good work!

This is very helpful information and useful too. Thanks.

Love a good checklist! Thanks v

I started with this travel packing list and updated to fit my needs. That was several trips ago and I’m still using it!

Your packing lists and tips are the best! It’s so easy to forget an important item, and your lists help avoid that. Thanks!!

Is ultimate packing list is what help me to prepare our very first 17 day trip in Europe (Italy and Spain). I’ve recently sent it to Friends to share the wealth! I absolutely love the Travel Fashion Girl site!

Love this whole blog, this entire post is very helpful all being in one post! Thank you for helping us travel!

The idea of packing cubes was not foreign to me; however, after reading all these tips and putting them into practice, my hubby and I were both able to travel 3+ weeks in Europe last Fall with only an AWAY carry-on suitcase and a backpack that I ordered specifically to fit under the seats on European inter-company smaller planes. Thanks so much for saving us, as we will likely never travel the same as we used to!

Thank you for creating these packing list. They are very helpful.

This list has been incredibly helpful!! I have always maintained a customizable packing list that I came up with years ago, but this took my list to the next level and was significantly helpful in keeping myself organized for a recent 2-week, backpack-only, trip I just took to Europe! I have traveled to 35 countries and continue to return back to TFG for fresh tips, outfit ideas, the best packing tools, and lots of other helpful information! Thank you so much to TFG and this wonderful community of women!!

Super helpful info- I added a bunch of tops and dresses to my Amazon list. I’ve already got many of the items you recommend- one of my favorites is the electronic cords organizer. I never leave home without it!

Your packing lists are fantastic! I don’t have to think so hard! Thank you!

I have used these packing lists time and time again. They have helped me pack exactly what I need and cut down on items I won’t need. I used to be an overpacker but these lists have solved that problem!

I have been traveling carry-on only for years now (whether it’s a hardside bag or my backpack), and I’m always looking for new capsule wardrobe ideas!

I printed out the packing list for Italy the beginning of this year as I prepared for my May departure. I kept it in my purse at all times so no matter where I was, I had it to refer to when I was I happened to be in a store. It was super helpful in keeping me focused. Thanks !

Thank you for publishing all of this wonderful information!

Love, love, love these checklists! I used one on my two week trip to Italy last May and it was so helpful. Planning to use one again on our girls trip to London and Paris in April. 🧳

I have always used a packing list. It helps me know that I haven’t forgotten something and not over pack. I love the Compass rose packing cubes…I bought a set for hubby and myself. We use them a lot. Thanks for all of your tips and info…now to just get a trip planned!!

I love everything about travel fashion girl, but having these already made printable packing lists are the best thing ever! They are going to come in really handy as I’m preparing to take my two teenage granddaughters to France in March and this will give them a good idea of what they need to pack and how to do it. Of course I will supervise lol!

Thanks so much for sharing this list! It was so helpful for my recent trip to Panama. The Leith dress was a great addition to my travel and everyday wardrobe!

I’ve been working with fine tuning my packing list for years. If my husband says, “do you want to go to …?” I can be fully packed for any type of trip in 20 minutes.

This is so helpful! I love the lists!

Love these tips!! Super helpful !!!

Never j ew what a packing cube was until I read your site. You are a life saver! Now I can’t live without them!

Love lists to help me feel confident that I’m ready! Your lists and advice are so helpful.

These lists are so helpful and love the packing cube video.

I love your blogs, you do amazing research have have great practical tips on how to best travel.

I went to Italy in the spring and the first thing I did before getting ready to go was read your blog to see what I should get that would help make it the best trip.

I also try to travel with only carry-on luggage, so you helpful suggestions are amazing.

I have used these packing list as the basis for my upcoming trip to England. This is the most prepared and least anxious I have ever felt about packing for a big trip. I love that the list comes with shopping links/reccomendations as well as reccomendations on where to pack it. If you’re short on time – the most helpful shopping list was the toiletry list. It provided great suggestions on how to stay within the TSA 3-1-1 guidelines even if you are planning to be away for a lengthy trip! Thank you!!

I love this blog!! These packing lists are a lifesaver!!

Thanks TFG for the best Packing Checklist! I use it everytime I go! And this year, 2022, I’ve been making up for not being able to go for the past two years. After a cruise in March and a month in Hawaii in the summer, I’m now packing for a Baltic cruise after a couple of days in London. The destination lists for London, Finland, Norway, etc. have been so very helpful, too. I’m pretty confident that I’ve packed what I’ll need. Haven’t yet tried carry-on-only and probably never will, but I’m pretty proud that I put at least 5 items back into the closet instead of in my suitcase this time!

While researching for our two-week vacation to Munich, Prague, Vienna and Budapest, I discovered your web site. I am so happy I did! Since we were traveling to so many places in a relatively short period of time, and using a carry-on and personal bag only, it was essential that I pack efficiently. Your capsule wardrobe and packing cubes were a game changer! I admit I fudged a bit and threw in a couple of extra items but never even wore them. Thank you so much for the great information!!

Love this! Very helpful for us overthinkers.

I honestly go over this packing list every time I go on a trip! So helpful. Also a side note, their subscription emails are amazing. Simply the best.

When I was finally able to travel internationally, this list was what I used to help me organize. Congratulations on 10 years and all you e accomplished- and thank you. 🙂

Love, love, 💕 the packing lists! I’ve been using them for several years. I started prepping for my 3 week trip to Peru in September. Thank you for the guidance, recommendations and inspiration!

This spreadsheet is my favourite clothing packing list, and one I recommend to everyone for carry-on only, or even just lightening the load on small checked bags. It even works for kids’ packing. Excellent, comprehensive resource, thank you for creating it, and sharing it with us all!

Thank you for these wonderful suggestions!!! Going to London in early October and the printed checklist will be very handy. Thank you!!!! Love those pants!!!! I need them!!!!

Love this resource!! Seriously has been so helpful for planning a 2 week Europe trip! Also was so helpful for my week in Montana during the winter! Highly recommend!!

I love all your travel tips! I will definitely be referring to your packing list for my upcoming trip to Spain and Portugal.

The packing cubes are a great idea, but what about wrinkles? And is a steamer able to work on an adapter only?

Hi Tammy, one of the keys to avoiding wrinkles is to choose wrinkle-resistant fabrics and to use the bundle wrapping method inside the packing cube! You can find more tips here: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/how-to-pack-clothes-without-wrinkles/

I love your blog❣️ I just returned from Portugal and met a new friend who turned me onto your emails. Please subscribe me, as I’m not on Social Media. All my best, and safe travels.

Hi Linda, just gone ahead and subscribed you to our newsletters. Hope you had the most incredible time in Portugal!!!

Thank you, your information has been most helpful. Amazon.ca doesn’t seem to have any of your recommended items for sale at present, especially The Comnpass Rose Slim Cubes. I used them on our last cruise and it made packing easy before, during and after the Cruise. Would recommend this to any traveller. M. J. Sutherland

That is so amazing to hear thank you Jean!!! Unfortunately at this moment in time we are not sure when we are going to begin making our compass rose products again 😢

Hey, I’ve really enjoyed your site and recommendations on traveling lightly. I’m not sure if you’re still active on here but the link to your packing checklist seems to be broken.

Hi Sara, I am really sorry about this, we are having some problems fixing this issue on the blog.

If you would like a copy of our packing list, please email us at [email protected] and we will send you a copy straight away.

I pack one cube with everything I’ll need for the night and the next morning. This way I dion’t always need to unpack the whole bag, and can leave everything in place for the first night . Sometimes this means I don’t have to schlep a heavy bag upstairs when I’m tired–I can leave it downstairs and deal with everything once I’m rested.

Hi Laura, this sounds like a fantastic idea, thank you for sharing your packing strategy with us!! 🙂

I’m *so* with you when it comes to packing cubes. They make it super easy to find what I need, and it helps me fit more than I thought possible into my backpack. I’m also a HUGE fan of earplugs. I’ve used them on the train or bus to sleep, on the plane to drown out engine noises, and at loud concerts. I highly recommend getting custom silicon earplugs that you wash off and use again, especially if you have trouble using the foam ones (like I totally do no matter how many times I try).

Your packing lists have been a huge help for me when it comes to planning my trip to Europe. Keep the great material coming 🙂

Thank you Theresa!

Hi Alex, I”ve just discovered Travel Fashion Girl & I”m so glad I did. I”m about to travel for the 1st time to Singapore with my family, 5 kids included. Have you been there before?

Thanks Patrizia!

Thank you so much for this wonderful resource.

Glad you like it Michala!

As always I love reading all your post, but this one is probably my favorite!! It’s packed with really helpful tips, it’s something I always come back to, and is in many cases encouraging…. Lol but that couldn’t be any more true!!

Yay!!! Glad you enjoyed it even more than the others 🙂

This list makes me happy! Im an excel spreadhseet list make and this is perfect for a base to customize. Thanks!

Glad you like it! enjoy 🙂

So in going through the Ultimate Packing List (thank you for this by the way), I have a question about the clothes the traveler is wearing! I assume that’s included in the 10 items, but per the packing list, they are packed in something. You don’t get an extra set of clothes on top of the 10 items, right?? 🙂

For my Russia packing list (pre-UPL), I listed out all the items and then listed what was going in my suitcase, what in my backpack and then finally, what I was wearing! 😀

Great job for your trip to Russia Julie! That’s right, no extra clothes for travel – they are included in the ten items. However, ten is a good number to use as a guideline but it’s okay to go up or down a few items, too 😉

Hi, this is so helpful for me so I do not forget anything. The older I get and the more I travel, forgetting something seems to happen far too often. But not any longer!

Glad you like it Gayle!

I have been using these packing lists this Spring and Summer and they have totally changed the way I plan and pack for a trip! I love being able to customize it. The main thing this did was make me think about WHERE I wanted to put everything. I then also added a little “how many times I wore it/used it” column so I could analyze at the end as well and start planning for the next trip. Thank you so much for these organizers!

Wow that’s a great idea, good job Nadja!

So excited to use this packing list for my three big trips next year: mediterranean cruise, Machu Picchu and Cairo/Nile Cruise/Jordan!!

AMAZING destinations!

Great packing list post, we just spent 4 weeks in Alaska and now we are off to FiJi. Your packing list is a huge help.

That’s awesome David, thanks!

Great post! This is very helpful for people who need help on what to pack!

Thanks Valerie!

Please email completed packing lists! Thank you

Hi Isabelle, they are on the way towards your inbox right now!

Thank you for making this packing list editable! I’m particularly loving the “How to Pack It” column, which is missing on so many other lists. It really helps me figure out which packing cubes/organizers to use, how to place it in my bag and also to mentally include clothing I’ll wear while traveling.

Thanks Megan! Glad you liked the “How to Pack It” column 🙂

Excellent packing list!! This will be very useful for me!

Thanks Helene!

Thanks Helene! Glad you’ve found it helpful 🙂

Right now I am packing for my trip to Italy and I am using only your list. It is amazing. For the first time I feel that I do not overpack, that I have everything what I really need, and that I won’t forget any stuff. Your blog has changed completety the way I pack. Thank you 🙂 xoxoxo

Yay! That’s great to hear, thank you Justine!

Great post! One question: Do the clothing lists include items you’re wearing, or just what’s in your bag? Also, I always bring dental floss; in addition to keeping my gums healthy, it’s awesome for sewing!

They include all clothes including what you wear on a flight 😉 Dental floss is a good add!

Perfect timing for my trip to Europe next month. Thanks!

Glad you like it Kim!

Wonderful, detailed list. I recommend your site to anyone asking about travel and packing light. Especially friends who want to travel and still look fashionable!

Thank you Kim 🙂

This is so comprehensive! I plan on referencing this next time I travel. Thank you for the breakdown.

Yay! Glad you like it Heather 🙂

I am going to Italy in October and I am so excited to find this blog at travelfashiongirl.com. I have been stressing about what to pack. Now, I have a detailed list to follow and I couldn’t be more happy! Thank you TFG!

Love it! You thought of everything! Will use this on my next trip (instead of recreating a new list which I seem to always do). Thanks!

Yay!!!! Glad you like it ?

Love having all of this info in one post! Thanks for the tips!

While I enjoy all your posts, this one is SERIOUSLY the best I’ve seen on your site – or any site, for that matter! Thanks so much for gathering this all together for your readers. You’ve thought of everything!!!

Ah-maz-ing! Just what I needed!!!

There’s a lot of different types of products that need to be stored during travel, but finding those emergency items is what’s important when you’re out there all prepared! These print-out lists are exactly what I’ve been using for myself since high school, & for nostalgia sake, that original template I put together & taped over to “laminate” it, is still there slipped behind the zippered space in my overall bathroom bag. Thanks for sharing your process! It seems like a lot of work that many individuals have appreciated finding!!

Quick answer, quick tips and facts, how to make a packing list online, what to include in a packing list, packing list generator vs. manual packing list, benefits of using a packing list generator, drawbacks of using a packing list generator, recommended links, reference links.

A packing list generator is an online tool that helps you create a personalized packing list for your trip. It takes into account the destination, duration of your trip, weather conditions, and activities you plan to do. With just a few clicks, you can generate a comprehensive packing list tailored to your specific needs.

Key features of a packing list generator:

Customizable packing lists based on destination, duration, weather, and activities
Ability to save and edit packing lists for future trips
Suggestions for essential items you may have overlooked
Printable or digital formats for easy access on the go

Did you know that the average person forgets at least one item when packing for a trip? A packing list generator can help you avoid this common mistake.
According to a survey, 80% of travelers feel less stressed when they use a packing list.
A well-organized packing list can save you time and money by ensuring you don’t forget anything important or pack unnecessary items.

Making a packing list online is a simple and efficient process. Follow these steps to create your personalized packing list:

Choose a reliable packing list generator: There are several packing list generator tools available online. Look for one that offers customizable options and a user-friendly interface.
Enter your trip details: Provide information about your destination, duration of the trip, and the weather conditions during your stay. Some packing list generators may also ask about the activities you plan to do, such as hiking or swimming.
Review and customize the suggested items: The packing list generator will generate a list of suggested items based on your trip details. Go through the list and customize it according to your preferences. Add or remove items as needed.
Save and print your packing list: Once you’re satisfied with your customized packing list, save it for future reference. You can also choose to print a copy or save it digitally on your phone or tablet for easy access during your trip.
Check off items as you pack: As you pack your belongings, use your packing list to check off each item. This will ensure that you don’t forget anything important.

A comprehensive packing list should include all the essential items you’ll need for your trip. Here are some categories to consider when creating your packing list:

Clothing: Pack appropriate clothing for the weather and activities you plan to do. Include items such as shirts, pants, underwear, socks, and outerwear. Don’t forget accessories like hats, scarves, and gloves if needed.
Toiletries: Bring travel-sized toiletries, including toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and any other personal care items you use daily. Consider the restrictions on liquids for air travel.
Electronics: If you’re bringing electronic devices, include items such as chargers, adapters, headphones, and a portable power bank. Don’t forget to pack the necessary cables and accessories.
Documents: Carry important documents such as your passport, identification, travel insurance, and any necessary visas. It’s also a good idea to have copies of these documents stored digitally or in a separate location.
Medications: If you take any prescription medications, make sure to pack an adequate supply for the duration of your trip. It’s also advisable to bring a small first aid kit with basic medical supplies.
Travel essentials: Don’t forget items like a travel pillow, eye mask, earplugs, travel locks, and a reusable water bottle. These small items can greatly enhance your travel experience.
Miscellaneous: Depending on your destination and activities, consider including items such as a travel guidebook, maps, a camera, a portable charger, and a travel umbrella.

Remember, the packing list generator will suggest items based on your trip details, but it’s important to review and customize the list according to your specific needs.

While some travelers prefer to create a manual packing list, using a packing list generator offers several advantages. Let’s compare the two approaches:

Using a packing list generator ensures that you have a comprehensive and personalized packing list without the hassle of manually creating one. It saves you time, reduces stress, and increases the chances of a successful trip.

Using a packing list generator offers several benefits that can greatly enhance your travel experience. Here are some key advantages:

Saves time and effort: Instead of spending hours creating a packing list from scratch, a packing list generator does the work for you. It takes into account various factors and provides you with a customized list in minutes.
Reduces stress: Forgetting essential items can be a major source of stress during travel. A packing list generator helps you avoid this by suggesting items you may have overlooked. It gives you peace of mind knowing that you have everything you need.
Increases organization: A well-organized packing list ensures that you pack efficiently and don’t forget anything important. It allows you to stay focused and avoid unnecessary last-minute purchases.
Saves money: By packing only what you need, you can avoid overpacking and excess baggage fees. A packing list generator helps you prioritize essential items and avoid unnecessary items that can weigh you down.
Enhances preparedness: Whether it’s packing appropriate clothing for the weather or bringing necessary medications, a packing list generator helps you stay prepared for various situations. It ensures that you have everything you need to make your trip comfortable and enjoyable.

While a packing list generator offers many benefits, it’s important to consider some potential drawbacks:

Lack of personalization: Although a packing list generator takes into account various factors, it may not fully capture your personal preferences or unique needs. It’s essential to review and customize the suggested list according to your specific requirements.
Reliance on technology: Using a packing list generator requires access to a computer or mobile device. If you don’t have reliable internet access or prefer a more traditional approach, a manual packing list might be a better option.
Limited flexibility: While a packing list generator provides suggestions for essential items, it may not cover every possible scenario or activity. It’s important to consider your specific needs and add any additional items that may be required.
Potential for errors: Like any online tool, a packing list generator may have occasional glitches or inaccuracies. It’s always a good idea to double-check the list and ensure that it aligns with your travel plans.

Despite these potential drawbacks, a packing list generator can still be a valuable tool in streamlining your packing process and ensuring a smooth travel experience.

Key Takeaways

Essential items include travel documents, credit cards, toiletries, medications, electronics, and chargers. With these, you are ready for everything.
Pack versatile clothing, comfortable shoes, and travel-sized versions of your favorite products to save space and stay organized.
Utilize packing cubes and a travel checklist to ensure you remember everything and maximize your luggage space.

When it comes down to it, packing for a trip (domestic or international) can be stressful. Do you wait until the last minute? Put off researching what you’ll need for certain activities or weather at your destination? Get distracted easily, or have young kiddos that need attention? It happens to the best of us!

On the one hand, if you under-pack, you might not be prepared. But if you over-pack, you run the risk of incurring hefty baggage fees or missing out on space to bring home that lovely souvenir. If you forget an essential travel document, you could even miss your trip altogether! We get stressed just thinking about it!

That’s why Upgraded Points is bringing you a guide full of packing tips and tricks, a printable travel checklist, a list of apps to help you out, and reminders for to-do’s around the house before you leave.

Hot Tip: Don’t forget to also check out our “Carry-On Travel Essentials” guide where we’ve compiled a “His” and “Hers” list of some great products that we simply can’t do without when we travel!

Before you even take your suitcase out of the closet

Check the weather at your destination.

This seems intuitive, but you’d be surprised how many people are stuck traveling in rainy season without a raincoat.

Note how many days/nights you will be away.

This will help you decide the number of necessary outfits. Obviously, how often you prefer to wear the same clothes plays a part in this as well.

Note any special activities/events you may partake in.

Traveling for a birthday? You don’t want to forget that heartfelt gift you bought weeks in advance. Going to a wedding? It’d be a shame if you showed up without your suit. Hiking in Hawaii? Your water-shoes won’t get much use if you leave them behind.

Make a packing list early and review it at least twice. (Yes, twice.)

You can easily find printable vacation packing lists online (like ours above), or you can write out your own. There are also a number of apps you can utilize if you prefer something more tech-based. Read about several of these below!

Timing is key here. If you jot things down or review your printed list in advance, it gives you the opportunity to take a second look with a fresh mind. All too often you’ll remember something you didn’t yesterday when your brain was thinking about pizza instead of packing.

If you’re printing a list that’s not trip specific, review it first and immediately cross off items you won’t need. Why bring a winter coat to the beach?

Take items you can grab at your destination off the list.

If you’re planning to travel with only a carry-on, this tip is especially important as it will save space (at least for your outgoing journey!).

Most times when traveling, your hotel will provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, etc.; why waste space packing them? If you’re a little picky about your toiletries or you’re not staying at a hotel, you’ll probably still encounter a drugstore where you can buy anything you might need.

Purchase travel-sized containers or toiletries if you plan on bringing your own.

Remember regulations for the amount of liquids you can bring in a carry-on for a flight. You’ll want travel-sized containers if you plan on carrying liquids this way.

Even if you’re flying with a checked bag and are allowed more liquids, do you really need that 16oz bottle of shampoo for a weeklong trip? Cutting it will save you room for other essential items.

Choose the right luggage.

Yes, different airlines have different restrictions on sizes for carry-ons and checked bags but stick to some general guidelines and you should be safe.

For carry-ons, you’re generally accepted at/under max linear dimensions of 155cm/45in. For checked bags, you’re generally safe under 158cm/62in max linear dimensions. However, be sure to check the airline you’re flying with prior to packing, as some can be stingy!

You also want to seriously consider the type of bag you enjoy traveling with – shoulder bag , backpack , roller bag, hard shell , soft shell, etc. There are definitely loads of options so just remember, your bag shouldn’t stress you out, it should make traveling easier.

Hot Tip: We’ve done tons of research on this topic so don’t miss our articles on the best carry-on bags and the best checked luggage bags for any type of traveler.

When you’ve done your prep and you’re almost ready to pack

Essentials first.

Gather your most important items first. This includes all travel documents such as your passport, ID/driver’s license, boarding passes, hotel reservations, etc. This also includes anything you’ll seriously regret forgetting and can’t purchase while traveling: wallet , credit cards , camera , cell phone, etc.

This being said, there are a number of apps that can assist with itinerary management and decrease the number of printed documents you’ll need to carry. See our list of helpful packing apps at the end of this post.

Choose an appropriately sized suitcase.

If you only have 1 suitcase, then you’re set. If you’ve got more options, attempt to use the smaller one – most people tend to overpack when their suitcase is too large for their trip. You don’t really need an extra sweater, 2 more t-shirts, and another pair of boots just because they fit! Plus, your baggage will be a lot easier to handle if it’s smaller and lighter, which will cut your stress level significantly.

Lay everything out.

Laying all of your items out allows you to plan outfits and account for your days/nights away. When everything’s laid out, you can clearly see how much you’re bringing and spot missing items easier. This also includes shoes, accessories, toiletries, etc.

Dividing items into sections based on where they’ll be packed is also helpful.

Lastly, don’t forget to lay out your plane/travel day outfit and consider it with your other pieces.

Pick simple mix-and-match pieces to prevent overpacking.

In general, choose simple tops and bottoms that can be mixed and matched to make multiple outfits. Did you know that just 3 bottoms (pants, shorts, skirt, etc.), 4 tops (tee, tank, etc.), and 2 outer layers (sweater, coat, or cardigan) can make up to 24 different outfits??

Depending on the reason for your trip, you might need to pack a special item that can only be worn once (suit, bridesmaid dress, etc.), but try to keep these to a minimum! This step is key if you’re pressed for space.

PUT STUFF BACK!

Once you’ve laid out all your items, really consider the number of days you’ll be on your trip. Chances are you could stand to put a few things back in the closet in order to pack more efficiently. Remember, no one wants to pay a fee for overweight baggage or lug around extra clothes for no reason!

Pack it up.

You never thought we’d actually get to this step, did you? There are a number of recommended packing tips when it comes to getting everything neatly in the suitcase. This can be overwhelming, but if you pick up the right habits packing will seem much less stressful.

Check, double-check, and triple-check your essentials.

Put a checkmark next to each item you’ve packed and DON’T TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR BAG. If you’re not ready to pack an item, do NOT check the box! That’s exactly how you leave your phone at home on the charger next to your bed. “But the box was checked!!!” you’ll say…

(Note: this rule actually goes for everything, not just essentials.)

If you’re notorious for leaving essentials at home, print an extra travel checklist just for those items and tape it to your front door the night before you leave. Make a promise that you can’t walk out without reviewing the list one final time.

Fold, Interfold, Bundle, or Roll?

By now you’ve probably heard that old-fashioned folding isn’t the best method to use when it comes to packing, especially in tight cases. If you have the room to spare, virtually any of these methods will do.

Interfolding involves layering clothes on top of each other in a top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top format, then interweaving them as you fold them together. If you fold the items in accordance with the size of your suitcase, you’re left with a neat little bundle that will fit right in. Additionally, this style of folding will leave your clothing virtually wrinkle-free.

Bundle packing is very similar to interfolding, but you are tightly folding or wrapping your clothing items around a soft core (like a dopp kit , stack of underwear, cloth zippered jewelry bag , etc.). Bundle packing is also said to reduce wrinkles and save space.

Many people also recommend rolling when packing your clothes – at least for softer items and jeans. Again, this method tends to save room and reduce creasing in the process.

If none of the above methods are doing the trick and you don’t have the option of a hanging garment bag , it may be beneficial to learn the proper way to fold nicer items (like a dress shirt or suit coat ) for the best results.

Pack liquids in secure bags.

Toiletries that can leak will leak. These should be placed in a plastic zippered bag or another secure bag of your choosing. Some travelers even encourage cutting small squares of plastic wrap to cover the opening between bottles and their lids in attempts to prevent further seepage.

Utilize shoe space when you can.

Rolled-up socks, belts, gloves, stocking caps, and other small items can easily fit into shoes (as long as they’re relatively clean and not smelly!). This also helps the shoe hold its shape throughout your travels. Rolled-up belts can also be used to keep a shirt collar stiff if needed.

Prevent dirty shoes from soiling clothes.

Pack them in a separate space or utilize plastic bags/shower caps to cover the bottoms and prevent dirtying the rest of your clothing. Have a delicate pair of dress shoes or heels? Pack them in their own bags if possible, or clean the bottoms and wrap with a durable garment.

Toss a dryer sheet into your suitcase to keep things smelling fresh.

While you’re at it, grab a stain pen or stain wipes for your carry-on. If you happen to spill on one of the only tops you’ve brought and don’t have laundry facilities, you’re cutting your number of outfits drastically. If you know you’ll have laundry facilities or need to wash your clothes by hand, you can purchase individual detergent packets.

Pack a change of clothes in your carry-on.

By packing a change of clothes and undergarments in your carry-on , you’re covered for at least a day if your baggage gets delayed or lost. Some travelers may want to pack an extra pair of shoes just in case.

Similarly, if you’re heading to a beach locale, pack a swimsuit and sandals . If you have to wait to check into your hotel, you can head to the pool while the concierge keeps your luggage.

Keep expensive/irreplaceable items on your person.

As a general rule of thumb, you should leave irreplaceable items at home. This includes objects such as expensive jewelry and heirlooms. If you must travel with them, these items should be kept with you at all times. Do not trust them to be safe when placed in checked baggage; if your suitcase is lost, delayed, or stolen, you’re out of luck.

Similarly, if you must travel with official documents such as birth certificates or social security cards, check to see if a certified copy will suffice. Or maybe take a photo on your phone for less hassle. Otherwise, the same rule applies to these irreplaceable documents.

Follow the TSA 3-1-1 rule for liquids in carry-on baggage.

3 – Travelers may carry liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes in containers of 3.4oz (100ml) or smaller.

1 – These items must fit into 1 clear plastic quart-sized bag.

1 – Only 1 bag per passenger is allowed.

Remove this bag from your carry-on and place it separately in the screening bin. This is meant to slightly expedite passing through security .

The following apps can be ultra helpful for those who prefer a mobile device to the standard pen and paper methods.

Evernote: While Evernote isn’t technically travel-oriented, it’s all about lists and can be a big help for packing. With Evernote, you can sync your packing list across all your devices, making it easy to keep track of things no matter where you are…even out at the store buying items from your list!

Evernote also enables sharing notes with others, which is especially helpful for group trips. Need reminders? No problem, you can set alerts in Evernote to keep you on top of your game.

Packing Pro: This app is everything you ever wanted if you’re a list maker, and everything you didn’t know you needed if you’re a forgetful person. Packing Pro helps travelers get organized via packing lists. From templates and suggestions to customizable designs, Packing Pro has options for every type of traveler. Users are allowed an unlimited number of packing lists of an unlimited length, and you can even add images, alerts, and mark “need to buy” items.

It also has iCloud support and the ability to share your lists via email, AirDrop, Dropbox, etc. You can also export and edit your lists with Excel, Numbers, or Google Docs. If you’re the type that physically needs to cross things off, you can send directly to a printer too.

The Expert List-Making Assistant is a cool feature if you’re low-maintenance: it will take your parameters (number of people, destination, weather, etc.) and automatically create lists for you.

PackPoint: PackPoint’s purpose is to take the guesswork out of packing. The app pretty much tells you what to pack based on how long you’re traveling, where you’re going, the weather when you get there, and any activities you have planned (chosen from a pre-defined list in the app). With PackPoint Premium, users can connect to TripIt, share their lists across devices, and add customizable packing items/activities.

Travel List: Travel List seems to have fewer bells and whistles. You can do many of the same things as with Packing Pro and PackPoint: create customizable packing lists, sync across your devices, share with other people, and create alerts/reminders. One nice component is their calendar view, which gives a different type of visualization that some people really prefer. And this one is compatible with Apple Watch, which can be a huge organizational perk.

Lists To Do: This app keeps things simple for general to-do lists and is super easy to use. See your list’s percentage progress for a clear visual on how much you have left to do/pack before jetting off and set yourself reminders and share lists with your travel companions.

The following apps are helpful for keeping all your travel information in one place. From flight itineraries to hotel confirmation, event tickets to dinner reservations, they’ve got you covered. Plus, this means fewer printed travel documents you need to worry about carrying with you.

Google Trips: In a nutshell, Google Trips seamlessly integrates reservations (flights, hotels, rental cars, etc.) from your Gmail and creates a specific “trip” in the app. These trips are like folders of information including some basic categories like Reservations, Things to Do, Saved Places, Day Plans, Food & Drink, Getting Around, and Need to Know.

It also provides opportunities for travel inspiration, traveler reviews, dining/drink options, and encyclopedic information on several hundred top cities and attractions around the globe.

Also good to note: when you download your trip, everything is available offline in case you’re stuck without WiFi or data.

Kayak Trips: Part of Kayak’s main app includes a platform called Trips, which acts as an itinerary management app to keep all your pertinent travel information together. With Trips, you can forward your booking confirmations to [email protected] , where your itinerary is managed for you in a nice timeline format with maps and important info all on one screen.

Kayak Trips gives you the ability to send other people access to your travel plans through sharing options, link to your calendar app for planning consistency, and receive SMS and email flight alerts.

TripIt: TripIt is one of the most popular travel organization apps on the market. The app automatically imports flight, hotel, rental car, and other booking confirmations ( concert tickets from StubHub, dinner reservations from OpenTable, etc.) from your e-mail. If you don’t appreciate the e-mail scan, you can always forward your emails to [email protected] or manually input all the information into the system.

TripIt then creates an itinerary in an easy-to-read format, including space for directions between airports, rental car pickup, and hotel details. TripIt also allows for calendar syncing and makes it easy to send your travel info to family/friends by sharing via text, Evernote, LinkedIn, Slack, or WhatsApp.

With TripIt Pro, users get real-time flight alerts, help to find alternative flights, an airline seat tracker for better seats, reward program points tracking, and interactive airport maps.

In this section, we list some steps you might forget to take when you’re in a hurry to leave for vacation.

Remember to:

Download your travel resources (guidebooks, language apps, etc.)
Notify credit card companies of upcoming travel if required (international trips)
Set an email auto-responder if necessary
Take out the garbage
Check the washing machine for wet clothes
Check the dishwasher for dirty dishes
Turn off all lights and electronics
Set lighting timers
Water the plants
Drip taps (in cold climates where pipes could freeze)
Close/lock all doors and windows; pull all curtains
Set alarm system

For longer trips, don’t forget to:

Empty the refrigerator/pantry of perishable food
Unplug electronics
Put a hold on your mail
Consider having a friend check on your house from time to time

Make Packing Easy with this Free Printable Travel Packing List

Inside: This free printable vacation packing list has both filled-out and blank editable versions to help you start any trip more organized, under control, and relaxed because you’re less likely to forget anything!

This post contains Amazon and other affiliate links for your convenience. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase something through any link, I may receive a small commission, at no extra charge to you. I only recommend products that I love or would purchase for myself. See my full disclosure here .

You would think that going to the Walmart in every town I visit was on my vacation bucket list.

Because it never fails someone in my family forgets something and we end up there. ( I can attest they are all very similar .)

My solution?

I’m a list nerd, so of course my answer was to create a packing list to avoid some of those emergency shopping trips.

And I’m all too happy to share it so you can skip some of the beginning-of-vacation store runs. ( Unless you are into visiting all of the Walmarts—no judgment .)

Things to Include On Your Ultimate Packing List.

The printed list below is what my packing list currently looks like. The one underneath is a blank template with ready-to-fill categories:

I’ve broken both packing lists down into sections for what to bring:

Clothing items like casual outfits, pajamas, socks
Toiletry items like toothbrush, flat iron, medicines
Essential items for tech/travel – like cell phone and watch chargers, voltage converters, headphones
Personal items—like wallet, glasses, passport, snacks
Beach/pool items —like beach towels, beach bag, bathing suit, sunscreen
Miscellaneous items—like tickets, gifts, umbrella

Clothes, shoes, and sunglasses in pink suitcase

The miscellaneous section is a great way for me to customize the list I already have printed. Specific items change depending on the time of year, the dress code, and activities. Do I need a coat and gloves? Or my Minnie Mouse fanny pack to rock on a Disney World vacation?

And at the very bottom, I’ve included a “ checklist for leaving home ” area. It helps with my peace of mind to make sure I’ve taken care of everything before I go away, like stopping the mail and turning up the thermostat.

Two Packing List Printables For You to Choose From.

One of the printables is this current detailed list of suggestions of things I might need. Feel free to use it as is, or as a starting point for ideas of what you want to include in your own customized version.

I also included a second blank packing list because your list of what you usually pack could be much different than mine. This editable packing list template is in a PDF format that you can fill in and customize for yourself in a PDF editor. Or just print the blank packing list and write in your own complete travel packing list.

You could even print and make one for each family member that you have to pack for ( they may be the most likely to forget something ).

Customize the Packing List By Trip.

My packing list changes over time and by trip and I occasionally update it and print a fresh one. But it’s a good idea to keep it in a sheet protector like this:

This allows me to use it over and over for different kinds of trips. I can make notes on it, cross things out, and check things off with a fine tip dry erase marker . When I’m done I just wipe it clean for the next time!

You can find both versions of this free printable travel checklist in the subscribers-only library down in the footer menu. (The password is at the bottom of every email you get from me.)

If you’re not already a member of the SH&H family, I’d love to have you join us! You’ll not only get email updates, but you’ll have exclusive access to all the bonus materials only for my subscribers, like these packing list printables:

Some of my favorite travel gear and best tips..

Some of my other favorite travel tips besides making a packing list are:

Use compression packing cubes . They keep everything more organized and your clothes won’t take up as much room.
Pack an empty plastic kitchen garbage bag for dirty laundry . It makes it so easy to toss dirty clothes in the hamper when you unpack at home.
Pack your toiletry bag as you’re getting dressed. I always pack my toiletries as I use them for the last time before I leave, and then the last thing I do is go over the packing checklist. It’s saved me many times from forgetting a personal item or two.
Cell phone charger
Watch charger
Multi-outlet charging block
Phone portable charger battery pack
Headphones or AirPods
Travel size versions of your toiletries

I hope this packing list helps you stress less about packing for your next trip. I know it makes it easier for me to get this not-so-fun but necessary part of a vacation done and feel like everything is taken care of so I can enjoy my trip!

Tell the Walmart greeter in your town I said hello. Hopefully now I won’t be visiting them.

Happy packing,

Before you go:

As always, I appreciate your visit, comments, and shares here on the blog! I’d love it if you also follow along with me on Pinterest , Instagram , Facebook , TikTok , and YouTube so you won’t miss any of my inspiration and ideas.

Electronics

Accessories

Miscellaneous

Some other items that you might need when traveling with toddlers and young children.

When traveling alone or as an adult couple, it’s generally possible to get by with the essentials. However, if you’re traveling with toddlers or young children, there are a few additional items that you should consider bringing.

Baby food & formula
Baby monitor
Diapers and disposable diaper bags
Toys & books
Travel crib

Toiletries in Your Hand Luggage Must Follow the 3-1-1 Rule

If you’re bringing your own toiletries in your hand luggage, be sure to follow the 3-1-1 rule . This means your toiletry bag must contain no more than 3.4oz (100ml) containers, must be sealed in a 1-quart (1L) clear, plastic, zip-top bag, and each passenger can only bring one bag. This rule applies to liquids, gels, pastes, creams, and aerosols.

The Rules for Traveling With Electronics

The rules for traveling with electronics depend on the airline, country, and airport that you’re flying to and from.

When traveling to or from the U.S ., for example, you should be aware of the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) rules for electronics. These rules require that all electronics larger than a smartphone must be taken out of your carry-on bag and placed in a separate bin for X-ray screening . This includes laptops, tablets, and e-readers.

It’s also important to note that some countries have restrictions on the type of electronics that you can bring into the country. For example, many countries, including China and Brazil, prohibit the import of certain electronics, like iPhones and iPads, and require you to declare these upon arrival.

Certain countries have restrictions around lithium batteries as well . This means you won ‘t be able to bring batteries with more than 100 watt – hours in your carry – on or checked luggage . To check the watt – hours of your batteries , check the label on the battery or the device itself .

Finally , you should be aware that some countries, such as South Africa and India, require you to register your laptop and other electronic devices with customs when you arrive . This is due to the increasing number of laptop thefts and other electronics – related crimes in those countries .

Unfortunately , there is no one – size – fits – all answer when it comes to traveling with electronics , so make sure to do your research before you go .

Don’t Forget the Size and Weight Restrictions for Your Baggage

Underseat bags.

Must not be larger than 17 x 10 x 9 inches (43 x 25 x 23 cm)
Cannot exceed 17 lbs (8kg) when combined with the weight of your carry-on

Carry-on bags

Must not be larger than 22 x 14 x 9 inches (55 x 35 x 23 cm)
Cannot exceed 22 lbs (10kg)

Checked bags

Must not be larger than 62 linear inches (157 cm)
Cannot exceed 50 lbs (23kg)

No matter what size or weight restrictions you have, it’s important to make sure you pack smartly and efficiently . To do this, try to use packing cubes and consider rolling your clothes instead of folding them. This will help you maximize the amount of space in your luggage, so you can bring all the essentials without having to worry about the size or weight limits.

Which Items You’ll Need to Remove When Going Through Security

When you’re getting ready to go through security, there are a few items that you’ll need to remove from your carry-on bag and person. These include:

Laptops and tablets
All electronics larger than a smartphone
Metal jewelry
All liquids, gels, and aerosols
Belts and other accessories

If you have any food items in your carry-on, you may also be asked to remove them for inspection.

It’s also important to note that some countries, such as the U.S., require you to remove your laptop, tablet, and other electronics from your bag even if you’re not checking them through security.

Which Items You Should Pack In Your Personal Item, Carry-On, and Checked Luggage

When traveling, it’s important to know which items you should pack in each type of luggage, as this will help you stay organized and minimize the amount of time you spend at the security checkpoint . Here is a quick breakdown of what should go in your personal item, carry-on, and checked luggage:

Personal Item

Travel documents

Checked Luggage

As a general rule, it’s best to keep all valuables, medications, and important documents with you in your personal item and carry-on. This will ensure that you always have access to these items and that they remain safe.

Which Items You’re Allowed to Take for Free in Addition to Hand Luggage

When traveling, you’re usually allowed to take a few items for free in addition to your hand luggage. This typically includes a personal item, such as a laptop bag, a purse, or a briefcase, as well as a jacket or coat.

However, some airlines may limit the number of items you can bring for free, so it’s best to check your airline’s policy before you travel.

Tips on How to Save Space When Packing for an International Vacation

Packing for an international trip can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to end up overpacking or lugging around a heavy suitcase. To make your packing experience easier, here are a few tips on how to save space when packing for an international vacation:

1. Roll Your Clothes

Rolling your clothes instead of folding them can help you save a lot of space in your suitcase.

2. Pack Lightweight, Versatile Clothes

Bringing lightweight and versatile clothes will help you save space and minimize the amount of clothes you need to pack.

3. Use Packing Cubes

Packing cubes are a great way to keep your suitcase organized and maximize the amount of space in your luggage.

4. Wear Your Bulkiest Clothes

If you’re traveling to a cold destination, wear your bulkiest clothes, such as your winter coat, on the plane. This will help you save space in your suitcase.

5. Leave Some Space for Souvenirs

Make sure to leave some extra space in your suitcase for souvenirs, as this will help you avoid having to buy an additional bag to bring them home.

6. Pack Multi-Purpose Items

Bringing items that serve multiple purposes, such as a scarf that can also be used as a blanket, will help you save space and avoid having to bring multiple items for the same purpose.

7. Invest in a Lightweight Suitcase

Investing in a lightweight suitcase can help you save space and make it easier to carry your luggage.

Don’t Bring These Prohibited Items

When traveling internationally, you should be aware of the items that are prohibited on planes and in certain countries. These items include:

Flammable and combustible liquids
Sharp objects
Electronic cigarettes
Hoverboards

Make sure to check your destination’s customs regulations and the airline’s policy before you pack, as some countries and airlines may have additional restrictions.

Don’t Forget These Long-Haul Essentials for a Comfortable Flight

Taking a long-haul flight can be tiring and uncomfortable, so it’s important to make sure you bring the essentials to ensure a comfortable flight. Here are a few items you should bring on a long-haul flight:

Neck pillow
Water bottle
Travel blanket
Compression socks
Entertainment (books, movies, music, etc.)
Disinfecting wipes

Many of these will be provided by the airline, but they may not be up to your standards, so it’s always best to bring your own.

What to Look Out for When Shopping for New, Sturdy Luggage

When shopping for new luggage, you should look for a few key features to ensure you get a sturdy and reliable suitcase. Here are a few tips on what to look out for:

While hardside luggage made from ABS is likely to be the cheapest on the market, it’s also the most prone to damage. If you’re looking for a suitcase that will last, opt for a polycarbonate or aluminum piece. If you prefer softside luggage, go for a high-denier nylon or polyester piece.

Read more: The Ultimate Guide to Luggage Materials

Most hardside luggage is fitted with spinner wheels, which are great for maneuverability. However, take a look at the wheels to make sure they’re durable and have quality bearings. For softside luggage, in-line wheels provide excellent stability and can be rolled along almost any surface.

Make sure the handle is adjustable and sturdy. Ergonomically designed handles place the least strain on your wrists as you wheel your suitcase. You should also ensure that your suitcase has carry handles so it can be lifted with ease when needed.

Zippers & Locks

Opt for a piece with good-quality zippers and an integrated TSA lock. YKK zippers are considered the best on the market.

Many manufacturers offer a limited warranty that covers any defects in the material and workmanship. Make sure you read the warranty carefully and check the length of the coverage before you make your purchase.

The weight of a suitcase is largely dependent on the materials used to make the piece, and generally speaking, hardside suitcases usually weigh more than softside suitcases. If you’re considering a hardside suitcase, opt for one made from polycarbonate or ABS, as these are the lightest materials on the market. For softside luggage, nylon and polyester are the lightest materials.

Final Words

Packing for an international trip can be daunting, but it’s important to remember that anything you forget will likely be available wherever you’re traveling.

By following this international travel packing checklist and the tips provided, you can make sure you have everything you need for your trip without having to lug around a heavy suitcase.

Free printable packing list – ultimate travel checklist.

Whether this is your first big trip or you have traveled half the world, it’s always helpful to have a list of items you want to bring. Save this printable packing list to refer to as you travel the world and explore new destinations.

Tips for Choosing a Suitcase for Your Trip

Picking the right suitcase size.

If you plan on flying, check the weight limits for your airline, including carry-on and checked luggage. If you are going on a road trip, make sure your suitcase will fit comfortably into the trunk of your car. I typically go with a carry-on only for trips under 4 days and a full checked bag for any trips over 7 days, but it can depend on your packing style and the season.

Get a Spinner Suitcase

Spinner suitcases are easier to roll and don’t put as much stress on your shoulders or back. Plus, they’re easier to maneuver.

Pick a Bright Suitcase

I always go with a bright suitcase: it is easier to spot at baggage claim and easy to identify if lost. It will save you a lot of trouble, plus bright suitcases are CUTE!

My favorite Suitcases on Amazon:

Nicole Miller Taylor 24”
Steve Madden 24”
TravelPro MaxLite 21”

All of these suitcases have outstanding reviews, are lightweight and good quality products. They average at about $100 but will serve you for many many trips to come!

Printable packing list: clothing travel checklist.

Now that you have picked a suitcase and are ready to start packing, I listed clothing necessities you don’t want to forget. Of course, I understand that since duration of the trip can vary, no size will fit all. Feel free to take anything out of this list or add more as you wish!

Clothing Items to Bring When You Travel

Be sure to pack several clothing options according to your planned activities. If you are going to the mountains, be sure to grab the necessary hiking gear. If you are going to a city, be ready to walk a lot during the day, but have something more fashionable for the evening. Don’t take uncomfortable shoes with you when you travel. No one likes to travel when your feet are in pain.

Lightweight clothing that can be layered
Long-sleeved shirts
Sweater or jacket (depending on the weather)
Pants and/or shorts (depending on the season)
Dresses and/or skirts
Walking shoes
Scarf (in case you visit a church or get cold)
Rain jacket or umbrella
Toiletry Bag

Printable Packing List: Toiletry Bag Checklist

If you’re flying, make sure to put your toiletry bag in your checked luggage. You can not bring liquids, gels, aerosols, creams, and pastes 3.4 ounces (100ml) or less per container in your carry-on. Put them in a 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag. Read these TSA rules before you start packing to avoid any problems.

Pack these essentials in your toiletry bag:

Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss
Hairbrush, hair ties, and bobby pins
Conditioner (could be provided in the hotel)
Sunscreen and face lotion with SPF
Face wash and/or makeup remover wipes and q-tips
Personal hygiene items
Contacts and solution
Prescription medicine with the label
Cologne/perfume
Personal mini mirror
Hair products
Nail clippers and tweezers (also in checked luggage)

Travel First Aid Kit

First aid kit (bandages, gauze, adhesives, etc.)
Cold medicines and throat lozenges
Diarrhea/laxative medicines
Allergy medicines
Hydrocortisone cream/antibacterial ointment
Sunburn relief
Insect repellent/mosquito net/sting reliever
Motion sickness pills or bands

Printable Packing List: Carry-On Bag

It’s a good idea to make sure you have a few clothing items and a few essential toiletries in your carry-on just in case your luggage is lost. A carry-on bag is easy to access and you don’t have to get into your luggage each time you need something. Don’t overpack your carry-on, since you will be carrying it with you.

Here are some ideas for your carry-on bag packing list:

Passport/visa
Personal ID/Student ID card – If you’re a student, some companies offer discount cards to help you save when you are travelling
Frequent flyer cards and other loyalty program cards
Cash and debit/ travel credit cards – Call your bank before you travel to inform them (otherwise they might turn off your account)
Travel and health insurance documents
Reservations and itineraries – print them or save them electronically for easy access
Hotel and/or tour contact information
Cell phone and charger
Travel apps with language, directions, and money conversion
Laptop, iPad, and chargers
Headphones ( I always wish I had headphones when I travel)
Camera, memory card and chargers
Adapters (if you are traveling internationally)
Travel pillow, blanket, and earplugs
A pen (always grab a pen when you travel)
Chapstick and lotion
Refillable water bottle – you can fill it up for free once you get through security

To prevent pick-pocketing and stay safe, keep your valuables underneath your clothing. Check out this Money belt , neck wallet , or a Bra Stash to keep your valuables close to your body and away from pickpockets.
Plan your activities beforehand so that you’re bringing everything you need in your luggage.

The Importance of a Packing List for Travel

A packing list is your ticket to a worry-free journey; it’s the blueprint for fitting every vital piece into your travel puzzle. By leaning on this organizational ally, you wave goodbye to last-minute panic and embrace the peace of mind that comes from knowing everything you need is neatly tucked away in your bags.

Ensuring all essentials are packed

Packing for your next trip can be easy with a detailed checklist. It helps you to make sure you have all the important items so nothing gets missed. You will use a blank packing list template to add essential items, like chargers or travel documents. It allows for a more organized and efficient packing process, tailored to the specific requirements of each trip.

Reducing stress before departure

Traveling itself can be stressful. A packing list helps you feel calm and ready to go. You can see what you have packed and what still needs to go in your bag. This approach not only reduces stress but also saves time and money by avoiding last-minute purchases. Additionally, a packing list aids in managing luggage weight and space, which is particularly important for air travel. Over time, the list can be refined based on past travel experiences, making future packing even more effective.

Ensuring nothing gets left behind

A packing list helps you remember every important thing you need for your trip. From clothes to chargers, a good list makes sure you pack all the essential items. This means no last-minute rush or worry that you forgot something important. With a packing list you can keep track of what goes in your travel bag, so nothing is left out by accident. You can even slide your checklist into a sheet protector and bring it along on your trip so you can make sure when you are packing up to return back home, you have everything you brought with you.

Different Types of Packing Lists

Navigating the myriad of adventures that await you requires a master plan for what goes in your luggage , and this is where understanding the variety of packing lists comes into play. From the essentials for a tropical getaway to the specifics needed for mountain trekking, each journey calls for a tailored checklist to ensure every item complements your travel purpose.

Vacation packing list

Whether getting ready for your beach vacation or a sporty ski weekend, having a list specific to the type of trip will you take makes all the difference.

Once you know what type of trip you are taking, you will know what type of clothing and accessories you will need.

A good vacation packing list includes a section where you can note the temperature of your destination. If you’re heading to a tropical island, you will feel confident in knowing that you can leave the heavy jackets at home.

You can even customize it based on where you’re going or what activities you’ll do. Like swimsuits for the beaches and snow boots for the ski resorts.

The packing list helps you keep track of physical items like electronics and must-have accessories for different activities.

Business travel packing list

If you’re taking a business trip, good news! You’ll find a packing list that caters to your professional needs while maintaining comfort and efficiency during the trip will be a big help. This list is tailored for those who for corporations to folks who own small businesses. A business trip packing list will be useful as you attend meetings, conferences, or any work-related events away from home.

A good travel packing list for a business trip will include items that will allow you to keep working while you travel. Like your laptop, charger, smartphone, and charger, business cards, work ID, and any necessary documents or files (either in print or digital format).

Travel documents list

A travel documents list is where you make sure all essential papers are ready and within reach.

Your passport, visas, driver’s license, and any other ID should top this list. Don’t forget to include tickets for flights or trains, hotel reservations, and if you’re cruising – ship boarding passes.

It’s also smart to have copies of all these documents in case the originals get lost. List details like emergency contact numbers and insurance info too.

Keep this list with your carry-on bag so it’s always handy when you need it most.

Essential clothes and shoes packing list

Packing clothes that work for many occasions is the strategy that pros use. Choose shirts, pants, and skirts you can mix and match. For most trips, I get away with packing only three pairs of shoes: the ones I travel with, that double for walking, dress shoes for nice dinners and events, and flip-flops for walking around the hotel. (You will never catch my bare feet on the ground.)

Inflight packing list

There are things you’ll always want to keep in your carry-on. Be it for long flights, a road trip, or a business trip, you can avoid spending time trying to figure out what specific items you will need when you have a ready-to-go customizable packing list template.

An inflight packing list focuses on items that enhance comfort, provide entertainment, and address any in-flight needs or emergencies.

Toiletries packing list

Now, let’s talk about keeping fresh and clean while on your trip. Your toiletries packing list is key to keeping up with your beauty and grooming routine matter where you go. This part of the checklist covers everything for hair care, dental hygiene, personal cleanliness, and beauty products.

Grab our free printable list as a guide to make sure you include shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, and any makeup or skincare items you might need.

For those times when you can’t get to your luggage right away or if it gets lost along the way – it happens! – make sure your carry-on bag has some small versions of the most important things like hand sanitizer and facial wipes.

You’ll also want travel-sized containers that meet airline rules so nothing will hold you up at security checks. But lately, I’ve been into using travel solids to avoid having to worry about exceeding the limiting liquids restrictions from TSA.

Destination-specific packing lists

A destination-specific packing list changes depending on where you’re going. If you’re off to Disney World, your list might include comfy shoes for long walks and a rain poncho or sunscreen.

Or maybe you’re heading on an Alaskan cruise; pack warm layers and binoculars for glacier viewing! Each place has its own needs, from camping gear for nights under the stars to special clothes for dinner at a fancy resort.

Use our templates tailored to these adventures—they have suggested items and space for what you want to bring.

Planning your travel gets easier with these powerful tools. Our blank packing lists help make sure your luggage is ready no matter the destination of your vacation. They are easy to fill out with things like hiking boots for mountain trails or swimwear for beach getaways.

Plus, there’s room to add anything extra that makes your trip great! Many travelers love using them and share 5-star reviews about how these printables keep their adventure organized.

How to Use a Blank Packing List Template

Unleash the power of organization for your next journey with a travel packing checklist; it’s your ultimate tool to ensure every item has its place and nothing is forgotten. Dive into personalizing your travel checklist, making sure each category of essentials is represented and ready to go.

Categorize Items : Divide the template into different categories such as Clothing, Toiletries, Electronics, Travel Documents, Health Items, Entertainment, and Miscellaneous. This helps in organizing your packing and ensures you don’t overlook any category.
Personalize According to Your Trip : Customize the list based on the type of trip you’re taking. For instance, if you’re going on a business trip, focus on professional attire and work essentials. For a beach holiday, prioritize swimwear and sun protection.
Check Weather and Itinerary : Before you start filling in the template, check the weather forecast for your destination and consider the activities you have planned. This will guide you in deciding what type of clothing and gear to pack.
List Essentials First : Start by listing items you absolutely cannot travel without, such as travel documents, medication, and essential electronics. This ensures that the most important items are packed first.
Be Detailed : Instead of writing general categories like ‘clothes,’ list specific items, e.g., ‘3 t-shirts, 2 pairs of trousers, 1 dress.’ This helps in ensuring you pack exactly what you need and avoid overpacking.
Leave Space for Last-Minute Additions : Keep some space at the bottom or on the side of the list to jot down items you might think of closer to your departure date.
Consider Luggage Limitations : Be mindful of the weight and size restrictions of your luggage, especially if you’re flying. This might influence the quantity and type of items you can bring.
Use as a Checklist While Packing : As you pack each item, check it off on the list. This not only gives a sense of accomplishment but also ensures you haven’t missed anything.
Update for Future Trips : After your trip, update the template based on what you actually used and what you could have left behind. This will make the latest version of your template will be more effective for future use.
Keep a Digital Copy : Consider keeping a digital version of your packing list on your phone or in a cloud storage, like a free Google Docs template. This way, you can access and update it wherever you are.

Adding health items

Pack your toiletry bag as you get ready each day leading up to your trip. This way, you’ll remember to include all the health and hygiene items you use. Think toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, soap or body wash, and deodorant are no-brainers. But make sure you also pack any medicines or vitamins you take. You’ll also want to bring along some proof of your prescription from your doctor, in case you have to show proof during security.

It’s also good to pack a small first-aid kit with band-aids, pain relievers, and any over-the-counter meds. For example, cold and flu tablets or motion sickness pills.

For convenience try to make sure each item is travel-sized if possible. Check rules for carry-on liquids if flying. However, medicine does not have to be within the liquids restrictions. The blank packing list template lets you customize this section so it fits exactly what you need for personal use.

Noting miscellaneous items

Once you’ve the essential items down, it’s time to think about the extra stuff. These are the kind of things that don’t fit into any one category but are just as important for a happy trip.

For me, I love to travel with peanut butter and water enhancers. So think about your favorite snacks, a comfy travel pillow, compression socks , or even a small notebook to jot down memories.

Also, pack an empty plastic bag for dirty clothes. This helps keep clean and used clothes apart in your luggage.

Add small bags within your carry-on for different items, and use packing cubes to stay organized and fit more into limited space.

Our blank packing list has space for all these extras, so your carefully curated selection of items never are forgotten.

Benefits of Using a Packing List

A packing list template serves as your personal travel assistant, streamlining the formidable task of getting ready for a trip.

Customizable to fit individual needs

Our blank packing list templates are great because you can make them fit what you need. Even the most simple computer user will find our templates easy to use, edit, and update. Or you can use our pre-set templates to expedite the process. Either way you’ll find blank versions of our templates easy and you can add your items, take away things you don’t need, or even make special sections for different parts of your trip.

Organizes your packing process

Having a blank packing list template helps put order in your travel plans. Write down everything you’ll need on this list, and check them off as you pack them. This way, you make sure all your essentials are ready to go.

It’s like making a map for your suitcase! You won’t forget important things if they’re all listed neatly before you start.

Can be reused for future travels

We have travel packing list templates for almost every trip reason. Once you find the one you need, you can rinse and repeat without having to start from scratch.

One user likes to keep her personalized version in a clear sheet protector, and marks it with dry erase for each trip. Another, just likes the digital form in google docs. Another mentioned they printed multiple copies of their favorite printable travel packing list. My preferred method is via the notes template on my phone.

Whichever way you choose, once you select your list you save time and can enjoy planning other parts of your trip.

3 Tips for Packing Efficiently with a Packing List Template

Maximize your luggage space and streamline your travel preparations by leveraging the power of a packing list template. With careful luggage planning, these actionable tips will help you pack smartly, ensuring that you bring the important stuff without excess baggage.

Packing early helps stop last-minute rushing around. Instead of throwing everything in a bag, you take time to use space-saving tricks like compression packing cubes .

Choose clothes that work well for different situations. For example, a pair of jeans can be casual during the day and dressed up with a nice top for evening outings. Also, pick items that you can mix and match to create new outfits.

Your travel destination and how long you’ll stay there are key to deciding what goes on your packing list. If you’re off to Disney World, you’ll need comfy shoes for all the walking.

On an Alaskan cruise, warm clothes are a must. When camping or hiking in mountains, pack gear like a good tent or walking boots. A weekend trip might only need a few items, but a longer adventure means thinking about laundry and whether you can wear things more than once.

Make sure your list matches your trip’s needs!

Packing List Apps

We can’t talk about packing lists without bringing up packing list apps. Packing list apps are digital tools designed to assist with the organization and management of items you need to pack for travel. These apps often come with features like customizable templates, reminders, and checklists. But, after testing and trying the top ones, I always revert to the simple kind. The kind featured in this article.

But in case you want to consider a packing list app, here’s an overview of the pros and cons of packing list apps:

My recommended packing list app is

PackPoint is the most popular free packing list organizer and for a reason. It will help you organize what you need to pack in your luggage and suitcase based on length of travel, weather at your destination, and any activities planned during your trip. My favorite thing about this app is the ability to pack light by checking the boxes for ‘repeat basics’ and ‘laundry’.
