Trip / dates: ____________________________________

Travellers: ____________________________________

Shared essentials

  • □ Trip details and booking references
  • □ Chargers and the cables you use
  • □ Reusable shopping or day bag
  • □ Laundry bag
  • □ Items needed for your planned activities

For each traveller

  • □ Everyday outfits for the trip
  • □ Underwear and socks
  • □ Sleepwear
  • □ Shoes for planned activities
  • □ An extra layer or weather-appropriate outerwear
  • □ Toiletries and personal essentials
  • □ Your own must-have items

Just before leaving

  • □ Check each person’s remaining items
  • □ Check the current forecast and adapt the list
  • □ Confirm destination and activity requirements
  • □ Check chargers and last-minute essentials
  • □ Keep a copy of your final list

Make the last check smaller.

Keep packed and unpacked items separate so you can focus on what is left. A personal list also makes it easier to spot whose extra layer or charger is missing.

Take the checklist onto your iPhone.

Suitcase Ledger gives each traveller a list, shows unpacked items and lets you undo the last check. Two saved trips and all six templates are free.

Optional one-time Plus. No subscriptions or ads.
