One-Week Carry-On Packing Checklist
A week in a carry-on is easier when you plan outfits and laundry together. This checklist assumes ordinary sightseeing rather than specialist activities; adapt it to your weather, plans and available washing facilities.

Choose outfits that work together
For each person, start with four or five tops, two bottoms, underwear and socks for each day or a realistic washing schedule, sleepwear and a layer for cooler evenings. Wear your main walking shoes. Add activity-specific clothing only when your itinerary calls for it.
Plan one small laundry session
If you can wash clothes partway through the trip, reduce duplicates and allow enough drying time. Confirm what your accommodation provides. Keep a simple laundry bag separate from clean clothes.
Pack a travel-day pocket
Keep travel documents, payment cards, a phone, charging cable and booking details within reach. Add medication and essential personal items. Store a backup route and accommodation address offline.
Keep liquids and batteries easy to check
Review your airline and airports’ current baggage, liquids and battery requirements. Do not assume that every power bank or container is permitted. Check the manufacturer’s specifications and carrier rules before choosing what to bring.
Do a full-bag test
Pack everything, close the bag and carry it for a few minutes. Check dimensions and weight against your booked allowance. Remove items kept only for unlikely situations, while retaining essentials you personally need.
Turn this advice into your own checklist
Choose your trip length, travel group and luggage. Tick off items, add your own essentials and print the result.
