Smart Packing Checklist & Travel Bag Builder
Generate a customised packing checklist based on trip length, weather climate, and destination activities. Track packed items with zero cloud tracking.
✈ The Golden 1-Week Capsule Packing Rule
Regardless of whether your trip is 7 days or 3 weeks, never pack more than 7 days worth of clothing. Planning on a single mid-trip laundry cycle cuts your luggage bulk in half, saves checked bag fees (£40 to €70 each way on European carriers), and lets you breeze through terminals with just a carry-on backpack or rolling suitcase.

Common questions
What is the 3-1-1 carry-on liquid rule?
TSA and international airport security guidelines require all liquids, gels, and aerosols in carry-on bags to be in containers of 100ml (3.4oz) or less, placed inside one transparent, resealable 1-litre quart bag.
How many clothes should I pack for trips over 10 days?
Seasoned travelers follow the 7-day capsule rule: pack for one week maximum and use hotel or laundromat washing facilities once. This prevents luggage overweight fees while keeping bags manageable.
Can I print my completed checklist?
Yes! Clicking 'Print Checklist' opens your browser's print dialog with a clean black-and-white print layout that strips away web navigation and buttons.
Is my travel itinerary saved anywhere?
No. The packing checklist generates completely inside your local browser memory. No travel details are ever tracked or stored on servers.
