Check before packing
Review your airline’s current baggage guidance for the arrangements you have confirmed. Allowances and restrictions can differ. Avoid relying on a general packing list as a statement of airline rules.
Keep essentials accessible
Organise travel documents, charging accessories and everyday essentials so they are easy to reach. Use secure storage for important items. Keep a separate copy of your itinerary available.
Pack around your itinerary
Choose clothing and useful items for the activities and conditions you expect. Plan for practical changes during your journey. A focused list helps reduce unnecessary items.
Organise your bags
Group similar items together and keep frequently used items easy to find. Check your packing list before leaving home. Allow time to review anything you may have forgotten.
Prepare for arrival
Consider what you will need immediately after landing, including transfer details and accommodation information. Keep relevant contact details accessible. Confirm pickup arrangements with your provider before departure.
Use a checklist
Papilon’s travel checklists offer general preparation prompts. Adapt them to your own circumstances and check official airline and destination guidance where appropriate.
