What is this?
The Packing List Generator builds a customized, categorized packing checklist for any trip based on destination climate, trip type, duration, and accommodation — covering clothing, toiletries, electronics, documents, and activity-specific gear.How to use
Enter your trip duration in days, select the destination climate and trip purpose (business, beach, adventure, etc.), and choose your accommodation type. The calculator generates a full categorized packing list and recommends whether a checked bag is necessary.Tips
- Roll clothes instead of folding — it reduces wrinkles and fits 20–30% more into the same suitcase space.
- Use packing cubes to organize by category (tops, bottoms, underwear); they speed up security checks and daily repacking.
- Pack a complete change of clothes in your carry-on in case your checked luggage is delayed or lost.
- TSA 3-1-1 liquids rule: containers must be 3.4 oz (100ml) max, all in one quart-sized clear zipper bag per person.
- Wear your heaviest shoes and bulkiest jacket on travel day to free up suitcase space.
- For trips over 7 days, plan to do laundry rather than packing a fresh outfit for every single day.
- Keep digital copies (phone photos or cloud uploads) of all travel documents as backup against loss or theft.
- TSA PreCheck or Global Entry clears security in under 5 minutes and removes the liquids bag requirement for domestic travel.
