PACKING STRATEGY
Pack lighter—without forgetting essentials.
A simple system to keep your packing calm, organized, and travel-day ready.
Start with your trip “uniform” (2–3 base outfits that mix easily)
Pack by categories: outfits, toiletries, tech, documents, medications
Build your carry-on like a backup plan: 1 outfit + essentials + chargers
Use the “rule of 3”: three tops per bottom, three pairs of shoes max
Leave room: plan 15–20% empty space for souvenirs or purchases
Pro tip: Take a photo of what’s inside your carry-on before leaving—easy reference if bags are delayed.

Charge devices + pack chargers and battery bank (carry-on only)
Keep ID/passport, boarding pass, and wallet in one dedicated pocket
Arrive early: 2 hours domestic / 3 hours international (minimum)
Bring an empty water bottle and refill after security
Keep essentials accessible: meds, snacks, a layer, headphones

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
Know what you actually need—before you arrive at the airport.
A quick document check that prevents last-minute stress.
Confirm passport validity (many countries require 6+ months remaining
Verify entry requirements (visa, eTA, vaccinations, proof of onward travel)
Check REAL ID requirements for U.S. domestic flights (if applicable)
Save digital copies of passport/ID, insurance, and reservations
Share an itinerary copy with a trusted
contact
Store originals safely; keep copies separate (or digital)
Pro tip: Take a photo of what’s inside your carry-on before leaving—easy reference if bags are delayed.
Plan for the “what ifs”—so you can relax.
Smart travelers don’t expect problems—they’re simply prepared for them
Consider travel insurance when costs are high or plans are complex
Know what coverage you have (medical, cancellation, delay, baggage)
Build a small buffer: arrive a day early for weddings/cruises/events
Keep essentials in carry-on (meds, chargers, one outfit, toiletries)
Save important numbers: airline, hotel, insurance, and your travel advisor
Have a “Plan B” for transport (ride share app, taxi info, transfer details)
Pro tip: If a flight is delayed or canceled, contact the airline and your travel advisor at the same time—faster solutions, less stress.
