The order to pack in

Working top to bottom through a list leaves gaps. This order leaves fewer.

  1. Documents and payment first — without these you do not board at all. Check expiry dates and balances at this step, not later.
  2. Anything that needs charging — charge it all the night before and gather the adapters and cables next to the devices.
  3. Separate what you will use in the cabin — once a suitcase is checked you cannot open it until arrival. Pull those items into your carry-on first.
  4. Everything else into the suitcase — heavy items near the wheels keep it stable when you pull it upright.
  5. Re-check only the 6 essentials at the end — going through the whole list again never happens; going through the essentials does.
