Forgetting something?
When getting ready for your next trip, knowing that you’ve packed all the important items is necessary. This comprehensive travel checklist and guide is here to help you be prepared for any occasion-no matter where you are!
Travel-friendly clothing
Whether it’s a cruise ship, a plane or a long-haul train, dressing appropriately for travel is key to ensuring you can enjoy your travels from day dot. The following items provide both style and comfort so you can look and feel good on your next long flight or commute.
Travel wrap
Similar to a swap, a travel wrap is a versatile piece of travel clothing that you can either use as a shawl or a blanket. This lightweight bamboo cashmere travel wrap is perfect for in-cabin comfort or as an elegant evening wrap up.
These travel wraps come in one size, designed to cover a majority of your body and help you regulate temperatures when you’re travelling. They’re extremely soft, making them easy to fold or roll into your carry-on bag for when you’re feeling warm or can also be used as a makeshift pillow for extra comfort.
Comfort solutions
for many travelers, the prospects of a pleasurable trip can go awry when one’s comfort isn’t met. Here are some handy dandy- and very portable- gadgets you can use to ensure you get maximum comfort while you travel.
Neck pillow
For those who prefer to sleep while travelling, a neck pillow is a great investment.
According to Mayank Shukla, MD, a board-certified pulmonologist and sleep medicine specialist from New York City, sleeping upright is not a natural position for us, so when we choose to sleep sitting up during long travels we’re likely going to wake up with neckache.
Research suggests that a good neck pillow may offer you better sleep, because of the support it gives to your cervical spine. Neck pillows typically come in portable sizes and are extremely lightweight.
Packing essentials
Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference when travelling. Ensure you have a smooth trip with these two carry-on essentials.
Travel adapter
If you’re thinking about travelling overseas again, it’s likely you’ll want to keep all your devices working at all times during your trip. A travel adaptor allows you to plug your electronic devices to fit into other countries’ outlets so they can charge and work as they do in your own country.
Safety and security when travelling
Nothing is more important than the safety and security of your valuables while you travel. And though you might not have experienced theft in your home country, don’t leave the safety and security of your belongings to luck.
TSA locks
If you’re travelling to the US, in the majority of cases your baggage may need to be opened as a part of TSA safety protocol. A TSA lock is a specialised lock that is designed with a universal “master” key which is only accessible to TSA agents while remaining inaccessible to anyone else.
Some TSA locks even come with an indicator to let you know if a TSA agent opened your bag. However, don’t let TSA accessibility worry you, these locks are made with ultra-durable zinc alloy bodies and hardened steel shackles to ensure that your luggage lock will stay locked even as it makes its way through all kinds of rough airport handling.
