The holiday is booked. The adventure is planned. The bags are still not packed… But don’t be put off packing for your next holiday or adventure! Our travel checklist will help ensure you have everything you need when you arrive.
What to carry or wheel
Before you start packing it’s definitely worth considering what sort of pack you’ll be using for your trip. Are you taking a long and leisurely pool side holiday? Is your trip a sneaky last minute city break? Are you adventuring round Southeast Asia? Here’s some guidance on what to pack.
10 days in Malta
If you’re going soaking up cultural delights, restaurant exploring and pool lounging then you’ll need plenty of space for a variety of clothing and personal items. A wheeled pack will help you transport it all with ease and compressions straps and wings will keep your items secure and protected.
A weekend in Paris
Escapes to European cities have never been easier or cheaper. Keeping costs down with a hand luggage only trip is one of the best ways of doing this. Your carry-on pack needs to conform to EU regulations while also having enough space and organisation for your trip away. There’s also the option to carry your pack like a backpack or go wheeled.
