Write the itinerary in ordinary words
A train journey, two walks, dinner and a museum visit tell you more than a vague idea of a getaway. Choose clothing and footwear around those activities and the forecast. Check accommodation details before packing items it already provides.
Keep arrival essentials together
Place tickets, identification and the address you need in an accessible pocket. Keep required medicines and irreplaceable items with you according to the carrier’s rules. Save a separate copy of key travel information securely.
Leave something out
Lay everything out before closing the bag. Notice duplicates and items packed only for unlikely scenarios. A little spare space makes the return journey easier and leaves room for something you choose along the way.
