Packing list generator
A starting list with quantities, based on your trip length, laundry access and bag.
Your list
Use it as a starting point
Adjust for weather, laundry, and what you can wear on the travel day. The aim is a list you can pack quickly and re-wear, not a fixed formula. For the packing itself, our packing cubes vs compression bags guide explains what to compress and what to keep accessible.
Common questions
How many clothes should I pack?
Pack to the shortest realistic laundry interval. For a week with laundry access, about 3–4 tops and 2 bottoms is often enough if you re-wear and wash; without laundry, plan roughly one top per active day and half as many bottoms.
Can I fit a week in a carry-on?
Often yes, with layers that mix and match and fewer, bulkier items worn on travel days. Compression bags help with soft, bulky items; keep essentials and one change of clothes accessible for delays.
What should I keep in my personal item?
Documents, medication, chargers, a change of underwear and top, and any valuables. If checked luggage is delayed, the personal item should cover a night or two.
