Packing lists for trips and seasons
Find a packing list by destination, season, or trip length, and decide what to bring, wear in layers, and leave at home.
Choose a checklist that matches your destination, season, and trip length. Use it to plan clothing, shoes, tech, and travel documents, then compare the list with your itinerary and the weather you expect. A packing list can help you catch essentials before you leave and remove items you are unlikely to use. If you are traveling with carry-on luggage, pay particular attention to how many items you can wear more than once and what you can leave behind.
For a spring trip to Japan, for example, you can use a destination and season list to consider clothing layers, shoes, tech, and documents. For a two-week trip with carry-on luggage, focus on items you will use more than once. No single checklist covers every itinerary, so treat the relevant list as a starting point and adjust it to your plans. The goal is a bag that suits your trip, not a longer list of gear.
