Smart packing tips
- Always carry a spare set of clothes & one day's medicine in your cabin bag in case checked luggage is delayed.
- Photograph the contents of your suitcase before zipping it — it speeds up insurance claims if anything goes missing.
- Keep a printed copy of your itinerary and hotel address in case your phone dies at immigration.
- Pack toiletries in a clear zip-lock bag — easy to find and meets airport security rules for liquids.
- Use packing cubes for clothing; roll instead of fold to save 30–40% space.
FAQ
Is my checklist saved?
Yes. Tick states and any custom items you add are saved in your browser's local storage. Open the page on the same device any time to find your list waiting.
Can I add my own items?
Yes. Use the "Add" field at the bottom of any category. Custom items can be removed by hovering over them and clicking the ×.
How do I print my checklist?
Two print buttons are provided. Print selected prints only the items you have ticked and hides any category with zero selections — ideal as your final packing list. Print all prints every item across all categories — useful as a master reference. In both modes, checkboxes are printed as empty squares so you can pen-mark them while packing.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The list adapts to a single column on narrow screens. Categories collapse so you can scroll through quickly.
