This page forgets your ticks when you close it. QuickPack keeps them, works out how many of each to bring from your dates, and reminds you before you go.
Three things to know before you pack.
-
A small bag inside the bag
Headphones, a charger, lip balm and earplugs in a pouch that goes in the seat pocket. The rest stays overhead.
-
Dress in layers
Cabins swing between warm and cold. A hoodie and warm socks do more than the airline's blanket.
-
Bring an empty water bottle
Fill it after security. Cabin air is dry, and you will not want to wait for the trolley.
Frequently asked questions
What should I wear on a long flight?
Loose, soft layers and shoes that are easy to take off. Feet swell on long flights, so leave anything tight in the suitcase.
How do I sleep on a plane?
A neck pillow, an eye mask, and earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones help most. Set your watch to the time at your destination when you board, and sleep when it is night there.
