When it comes to successful holidays, planning in advance is the way to go. Working from your own list or a checklist like ours will help you to remember everything that you need. Simply tick off each item as it goes into your luggage.
The paperwork - your passport is obviously essential! Make sure your passport is up to date before travel. It is also a good idea to scan your passport and send a copy to your email inbox in case it gets lost. Remember to pack your travel tickets, printed directions and maps, and a copy of your hotel details. You may also need your driving licence and visa.
Before your flight - many holidaymakers are so busy packing and booking flights and hotels that they forget about how they are going to get to the airport! Plan your route in advance, taking note of any planned road or rail works. If you are travelling on a budget then Easybus do direct bus transfers to all London airports for just a few pounds per ticket. Check their website for details.
Spending money - remember your spending cash. If you are planning on taking a lot of money with you then you should take the bulk of it in the form of travellers cheques. Remember your credit card, debit card or ATM card too.
For the plane - your suitcase needs to be clearly labelled, so remember luggage ID tags and locks to secure your baggage. Take a book, magazine or MP3 player to keep you entertained on the plane. Also useful is a notebook and pen, a travel first aid kit and a mini sewing kit.
Gadgets and gizmos - remember your phone and charger, with adaptor plug if necessary. You might want to carry your laptop, and do not forget your camera, film and memory card as well as fresh batteries or camera charger.
Clothing - your destination will play the biggest part in deciding what you need to pack, but here some basics to remember include underwear, socks, tshirts, trousers and shorts, skirts and dresses, swimming costumes and bikinis, sunglasses, pyjamas and comfortable shoes.
Toiletries - toiletries tend to be easy to come by when on holiday, but it can be annoying when you leave one of your favourite products behind. Some basic items for you to pack are your toothpaste and toothbrush, razor and shaving cream, aftershave and perfume, deodorant, hairspray and hair gel, sun cream and contact lens solution if required.
