All packing lists

Pick the kind of trip. Each list asks for the number of nights, the weather and who is coming, then rebuilds itself.

Beach and city trips

Swimwear, sun protection and the small things people forget on a week by the sea.

One cabin bag, two or three nights, walking shoes and a dinner outfit that does not need its own suitcase.

Formal nights, shore excursions, cabin hacks and the layers you need when the ship's air conditioning is on full.

Sightseeing in heat or showers, sockets that differ by country and a pickpocket-wise bag for crowded trains.

Layers, goggles, gloves and the evening clothes that make a week in the mountains comfortable.

Tent, sleeping set-up, cooking kit and the small items that make a car-camping weekend with children go smoothly.

Car checks, documents, snacks and the small things that keep a long drive comfortable for everyone in the car.

Queues, sun, soaked clothes and tired children: what to put in the day bag and the case for park days.

Meetings, a presentation and a carry-on that arrives with you: documents, kit and clothes for a short work trip.

One pack, a weekly wash and the dorm essentials: padlock, earplugs, a sleep liner and a towel that dries overnight.
