Packing list - Distant travel

Yes, you can use the packing list free download after entering your name and e-mail. Immediately after registration, a download button will appear, allowing you to download the PDF file. This interactive PDF file is a tickable list that you can fill in, complete or print online.

You will receive a secure PDF that you cannot copy, but you can use it as intended: each item on the packing list has a checkbox that you can tick digitally, and there are text fields to add your own additions. Ideal to use on your laptop or phone, so printing is not necessary. Of course, you can of course choose to print out the packing list!

Absolutely. In the interactive PDF, you can add additional items yourself in the text boxes, allowing you to fill in and tick off your own unique requirements or products directly. Ideal if you are still missing something on the packing list!

On a long-distance trip to America or Asia good preparation is essential, as comfort and practical gear make all the difference during a long plane journey. Provide layers of clothing such as tops, T-shirts or jumpers so that you can easily adjust to temperature differences on the plane and at the destination.

Important travel gadgets are a travel plug, powerbank and charging cables, so your electronics always work. Don't forget your travel documents either: passport, visa, vaccination certificate and tickets.

For your health, medicines and a first-aid kit are essential, as are snacks for the road to prevent hunger. An empty water bottle is handy to refill after security and stay hydrated during the flight. With these preparations, you will be comfortable and organised on the road, and you can start your adventure in America or Asia in the best possible way.

For a long-distance trip lasting several weeks, it is wise to pack your clothes compactly and practically. Bring clothes for about 7 to 10 days and plan to wash along the way so that you don't carry unnecessary luggage.

Choose garments that you combine well and create sets based on colours and style. Use packing cubes to divide your clothes by type or by day: this will help you keep an overview, save space in your suitcase or backpack and keep your luggage light and organised.

Yes, you can carry liquids and powerbanks in your hand luggage, but it is important to follow the rules carefully. Liquids may contain a maximum of 100 ml per item and must be packed together in one transparent re-sealable bag or our toiletry bagset of up to 1 litre sit if you only travel with hand luggage.

Powerbanks and other portable electronics are not allowed in checked baggage, but must be carried in your hand luggage due to safety rules around lithium batteries. By packing these items properly, you will avoid problems at security and have everything you need for your electronic devices on the go.

For international travel, smart packing hacks are essential to save space, keep an overview and avoid packing stress. For example, use the “anti-wrinkle method” by rolling up clothes instead of folding them, so your clothes wrinkle less and your suitcase or backpack can be packed more efficiently.

Place heavy items at the bottom of your backpack or suitcase and fill empty spaces with smaller items such as socks, underwear or accessories. Packing cubes or vacuum bags help you pack clothes and accessories in an organised way and find them quickly.

Another handy tip is the ‘plus-one’ principle: bring only the really necessary items and one back-up item per category. These hacks will help you keep your luggage light, organised and ready for any destination!

Yes, you can use it digitally on your laptop, tablet or smartphone, ticking items directly and adding additional notes if necessary. If you prefer to work with a pen, you can also print the packing list on paper to keep track of your preparations. This way, you always have an overview of what you need to bring and you are assured of a well-organised trip.
