Holiday checklist |Essential packing guide

  • Whether you are seasoned or a first-time traveller, having an essential packing guide for your checked bag can make all the difference in preparing your holiday trip.
  • We’re going to go right back to basics, from looking at what bag is best, to what toiletries and medications you should carry, the best tech for travel and a capsule wardrobe that will make sure you are prepared for almost any weather. 
  • From simple package for a vacation to international vacation, the idea of taking the essential packaging guide is applicable to any situation.

Types of bags required

These are the different types of bags/luggage one would normally carry. This list gives you an idea of which type of luggage gives better space and is listed here.  

  • Rolling luggage: If you are travelling in a western country/countries where the roads are paved and the buildings have elevators, a wheeled bag is perfectly adequate for your travels. Just don’t buy one that’s too big or you’ll end up packing more than you need!
  • Duffel bag: Simple, lightweight and durable, it’s just like carrying a sports bag! They’re also great to have as an ‘extra bag option as they generally fold up quite small and can be used for the ‘extra stuff’ and souvenirs you may acquire on your travels.
  • 4 wheels can be better than 2 wheel bag: Depending on how much luggage you plan to take, your bag can become heavy quickly. If you know there will be lots of walking with your bag wherever you are travelling to, consider purchasing a case with 4 wheels that will reduce the pressure required on your wrist from dragging it. And can effortlessly glide by your side.
  • Wheeled backpack: If you’ll be going through different types of terrain, or switching from airports to cobblestones, having a bag with the option to roll it or carry it like a backpack or duffel is really handy.
  • Travel backpack: This is the best to carry on your back. You know you are a traveller and it suits you.
  • Carry on: This applies to the traveller who carries a bulk load of stuff while travelling
