Planning a trip can be as gruelling as exciting. A travel checklist is a very useful tool and saves you a lot. Here is a comprehensive checklist, which can be customised based on your priorities and the travel season.
TIPS:
- Pack light but don't leave small things (e.g razors) which may be very costly in Europe.
- Avoid heavy things like jackets and carry one piece, if at all
- Avoid carrying sharps and liquid above 100ml as they will not be cleared in low cost flights in europe without checkin baggage (checkin baggage there is costlier than the flight)
