Planning tips for this checklist
Start with documents and copies
Passport, visa, boarding passes, hotel reservations, insurance, and emergency contacts come first. Save digital copies in email or cloud storage and keep paper copies separate from the originals in case a phone or bag is lost.
Keep medication in carry-on with backup
Prescription medication, a doctor letter for controlled items, and a second supply in a different bag cover delays and lost luggage. Pack enough for the whole trip plus a few days past the return date.
Test your carry-on weight before the airport
Airline limits vary, and a full carry-on is easy to overpack. Weigh the bag with a home scale, move heavy items into the personal item, and check the airline limits for both bags before leaving.
