About the packing list maker
Forgetting the charger, packing seven sweaters for a beach week — a good list prevents both. Tell this maker how many days you travel, what kind of trip it is and what weather to expect, and it builds a checklist you can print and tick off.
Clothes come with quantities: underwear and socks for every day plus one, tops for each day in the heat, a pair of trousers for every three days. Beach, city, business, hiking, snow, kids and flying each add their own section. Add anything else under My own items.
How to use it
- Type how many days you travel

How much clothing to pack
| Item | How many |
|---|---|
| Underwear and socks | One per day, plus one spare |
| T-shirts and tops (hot weather) | One per day |
| Tops (mild or cold) | About two for every three days |
| Trousers, shorts or skirts | One for every three days |
| Sweaters | Two, or one per three days in the cold |
| Shoes | Two pairs: one comfortable, one for the plan |
For trips longer than about a week, the list stops at 8 of each — plan one laundry day instead.
Packing tips
- Roll, don't fold — rolled clothes take less space and crease less.
- Wear your bulkiest shoes and jacket on the journey.
- Keep essentials in your hand luggage: documents, medicines, chargers, a change of clothes.
- Liquids for flights: containers of 100 ml or less, in one clear bag.
- Photograph your passport and save it on your phone.
- Leave a little room for things you buy on the trip.
