Packing List Generator
Answer a few questions about your trip and get a tailored packing checklist — with smart quantities, categories for documents, clothing, toiletries, electronics and extras, and automatic saving so your list is never lost.
How Does the Packing List Generator Work?
The generator builds your list from your trip length, party size, trip types, and expected weather. A beach vacation adds swimwear and reef-safe sunscreen; a business trip adds attire and a laptop; winter and cold weather add layers; traveling with kids adds family essentials; and selecting International adds passport, visa, and adapter reminders.
Choosing carry-on only keeps clothing quantities to about a week's worth (laundry is your friend) and adds a liquids-bag reminder for airport security. Everything is editable — the generated list is a smart starting point, not a rulebook.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my packing list saved?
Yes. Your list is saved in your browser's local storage automatically, including checked items and custom additions. It stays on your device — nothing is uploaded — and will be there when you come back, as long as you use the same browser.
Can I customize the generated list?
Absolutely. Check items off as you pack, remove anything you don't need, and add your own custom items to any category. You can also regenerate the list with different trip settings at any time.
How are quantities calculated?
Clothing quantities scale with your trip length, capped at about a week's worth if you select carry-on only (plan to do laundry on longer trips). Quantities are suggestions — adjust to your own habits.
Can I print the list?
Yes. Use the Print button for a clean, checklist-style printout. You can also save it as a PDF from your browser's print dialog.
What should I always pack in my carry-on?
Keep documents, medication, electronics, chargers, and one change of clothes in your carry-on even when checking a bag. If checked luggage is delayed, these essentials keep your first day on track.
