What to pack: the essentials for every trip

• Documents and money: ID or passport, bank cards, some cash, tickets and bookings saved offline, and emergency contacts on paper.
• Medicines: your regular medicines with a few extra days’ supply, prescriptions, and a small first aid kit. This is a general checklist, not medical advice: ask your doctor about travel medicines and vaccines.
• Gadgets and chargers: phone and charger, a cable for every device, a power bank (in hand luggage when you fly) and earphones.
• Clothes: one top and one set of underwear and socks per day, plus a spare, and layers for the weather.
• Toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, skincare and sunscreen in travel sizes.

Packing lists for different trips

• International travel checklist: passport valid for six months or more, visa if needed, travel insurance, copies of documents, a travel adapter, an eSIM or roaming plan and a second bank card kept apart from the first.
• Cruise packing list: a dressy outfit for formal night, a light jacket for the deck, a lanyard for your cabin card, a day bag for shore trips and a travel sickness remedy.
• Beach trip packing list: two swimsuits, a cover-up, flip-flops, sunscreen, after-sun, a beach towel and a waterproof phone pouch.
• Business trip: work outfits, formal shoes, laptop and charger, business cards and your presentation saved in two places.

Things people forget to pack most often

Phone chargers and cables, medicines, sunglasses, swimwear, a hat or cap, toothbrush, socks, a travel adapter and earphones top most “I forgot” lists. That is why Step 2 keeps your own forgotten items and puts them on every list you make.
