The Ultimate Packing Checklist

Start with the items that are hardest to replace. Keep documents, medication and payment cards at the top of your checklist.

Pack around weather and activities, not imaginary scenarios. Choose layers and outfits that can be repeated.

Chargers, adapters and backup batteries are easy to forget because they are often used right before leaving.

Turn packing into tasks instead of relying on memory. Add reminders for check-in, documents, home prep and airport transfer.
