Packing list generator

Generic packing lists tell you to bring socks. This one works out how many, from the number of nights, the climate and who is travelling.

Quantities update as you type. Nothing is stored.

Rules are visible under “How it works” — if one does not fit how you pack, override it.

How it works

  1. Every item carries a rule. Underwear and socks are nights + 1 (capped at 14), tops are nights + 1 up to eight, trousers are one per three nights plus one.
  2. Climate opens or closes whole groups: a warm coat, hat and gloves only appear for cold, shorts and sandals only for hot, a rain jacket for anything that is not hot.
  3. Trip type adds its own block — dress shirts and formal shoes for business, boots and a daypack for hiking, towels and snorkel for a beach trip.
  4. Children add snacks, spare clothes and wipes; the baby option adds nappies at six per night plus feeding kit.

What it will never do

  • It is not an airline rule checker. Liquid limits, battery rules and baggage weights change by carrier and route — check your airline.
  • It does not save your trip. Reload the page and it is gone; nothing is stored or sent.
  • It cannot know your personal must-haves. Treat the output as a starting list, then add yours.

Questions

How are the quantities worked out?

From the numbers you enter. Underwear and socks are one per night plus a spare, capped at fourteen; tops are one per night up to eight; trousers are one per three nights plus one. Every rule is listed under “How it works”.

Can I use it for a family trip?

Yes. Adults and children are separate inputs, so per-person items like toothbrushes and water bottles scale, and the children’s section only appears when there is at least one child.

Does it save my list?

No. It is generated fresh each time. Use copy, download .txt or print if you want to keep it.
