Documents first
Keep your passport, visa or entry documents, and any booking confirmations together — a digital copy stored separately from the originals is a useful backup.
Pack for the climate and activities
Check the weather and planned activities for your specific destination and dates rather than packing on assumption — climate and conditions vary widely by season and region.
Don't forget the practical basics
A universal adapter, any regular medication in its original packaging, and a copy of your itinerary are easy to forget and hard to replace once you've left.
Key things to know
- Keep documents together, with a backup copy stored separately.
- Pack around your destination's actual climate and planned activities, not assumptions.
- Bring practical basics: adapter, medication, and a copy of your itinerary.
Practical information
Specific requirements (like luggage allowances or restricted items) vary by airline and destination, so check the latest guidance for your particular route before packing.
