THE WEEKENDERS / TRAVEL TIPS
Packing for
a city break.
Three ways to pack, one great trip. Take what you need, travel comfortably, and leave the unnecessary things at home.
THE WEEKENDERS→PACKING
01 / CHOOSE YOUR STYLE
How do you like to travel?
There is no right answer. Pick the amount of luggage that suits your journey, and we'll put together a checklist for it.
TRAVEL STYLE 02
Medium.
3–5 NIGHTS · CABIN SUITCASEA little more flexibility, a change of outfit and room for a few extras without checking a large suitcase.
TRAVEL STYLE 03
Heavy.
5+ NIGHTS · CHECKED LUGGAGEIdeal for longer stays, cold-weather clothes or specialist equipment. More choice, but also more to manage.
02 / THE CHECKLIST
Ready, set, pack.
Tick off what you've packed, add your own items and switch between the three lists. Your progress is saved in this browser.
Tip: Choose a packing style above to change the list. Print it if you'd rather pack with a piece of paper beside your bag.

Your checklist stays on this device and is not sent to The Weekenders. Airline and airport rules can change, so check before travelling.
03 / A FEW USEFUL HABITS
Pack smarter, travel easier.
01 / KEEP THE ESSENTIALS CLOSE
Never check the important stuff.
Keep passports, medicines, valuables, keys and anything essential for your first night in your personal bag. Power banks and spare lithium batteries usually belong in cabin baggage — check your airline's rules.
02 / THINK IN OUTFITS
One extra layer beats three extras.
Pack clothes that work together. Comfortable walking shoes, a light waterproof layer and something slightly smarter will cover most European city breaks.
03 / CHECK BEFORE YOU FLY
The details make the difference.
Check baggage dimensions, liquids screening rules at every departing airport, travel documents and destination weather. Don't rely on a rule you remember from your last flight.
