I know it's been a while since I last posted something.
Today I wanted to talk about packing for a trip with the plane.
Because when you'll read this I will be in Portugal with my sister and her bff.
We're going for a girls trip in the sun and will be gone for 5 days, but I'll update you about that in another blog :)
How to prepare before your holiday. (this is for the summer, for the winter I would pack warmer)
- After booking
- Are all my documents / passport still valid? If not make sure all is are valid.
- 2 weeks before departure
- Do I need to buy any medication?
- Can I still fit in all my clothes / swimwear?
- A week before departure
- Do I have all my reservation documents?
- Is my medical bag in order?
- Are all my liquids under 100 ml and in total under 1l?
- Do I need to buy anything else?
- Do the last of your shopping (small deodorant, shampoo, body lotion,...).
- 48h before departure
- Online check in for the plane.
- Pack your bags (suitcase + hand luggage)
- Make sure you don't have to much with you, check the weight you can bring (for us it's 10kg)
- Print out all the needed documents
- Take a cope of your passport / driver license.
What to pack?
- Medicines
Dafalgan (or whatever you take for headaches), creme for wounds + band aids
- Beauty
Sunscreen + aftersun, body lotion, shampoo + conditioner, make up + make up remover, hairbrush, toothbrush + toothpaste, ...
- Clothes
1 shorts, 1 dress, 1 skirt, 3 t-shirts, 1 sweater, sunglasses / glasses, swimsuit, beach towel + beach bag, underwear, pajama, shoes (1 closed pair / one open pair)
What to wear on the plane?
I like to go casual, nothing fancy on a plane for me :)
I'll wear my legging with a t-shirt and a hoodie, we fly in the evening to go and in the night in return so I need my hoodie :) I'm always cold in the plane.
I also like to wear layers because if you go to the sun like I do now you'll want to undress a bit at arrival, if you leave from a colder country :)
This is my packing list for a short holiday in a sunny destination, if I would go longer I would of course take more and if I would go out of the summer I would take warmer clothes :)
I wish you all a great holiday with a lot of sun 🌅
Love,
Sarah
