Holiday Checklist - What To Pack
Packing for a holiday can be a stressful time
, but with this simple check list you can make sure that you have included everything for your relaxing break away.Hand luggage
- Place your passports and visa into your hand luggage to ensure that they are readily available throughout your journey through airport check-in.
- Airline tickets, hotel documentation and your travel itinerary also need to to be within an easy reach for check-in.
- Foreign currency and travellers cheques should be on you at all times to ensure you have money to pay for any airport goods, and to ensure lower the chances of this being stolen.
- Valuables such as your camera, mobile phone, credit cards and ID etc should also be placed into hand luggage, once again to reduce the changes of theft of these items.
- Travel sweets are great for take off and landing if you are flying by aeroplane, so make sure these are in your hand luggage. They are also great to munch throughout your journey should you not have any in-flight meals.
- Books and magazines are always handy on long journeys to alleviate boredom.
- Pack a jumper and a change of underwear in your handle luggage as air conditioning on planes or trains can often make you very cold. If your journey is a long one, you may like to change your under garments and freshen up before you arrive at your destination.
- If you are on any medication, make sure that this is easily available, and if it is prescription medicine ensure you take the correct documentation so that it is not confiscated from you.
Main luggage
- Clothes, shoes and underwear for the duration of your stay should be placed into your main luggage case.
- Swimwear, suncream, a hat and sunglasses also need to be packed in your suitcase.
- Some hotels offer towels but others don't, so pack some beach towels just incase you need them.
- Designate a specific bag within your main luggage to place all toiletries and other medicines into. By separating these into a sealed case you will have less to clear up should one of the bottles leak, and also this will protect your clothes.
- Translation dictionaries can be incredibly helpful if you plan to visit a country that has few English speakers.

- Ensure that you pack activity books, magazines and their favourite teddy for the journey.
- A blanket and small pillow.
