Create a customized packing list based on your destination, activities, and trip duration
I need a packing list that makes sure I do not forget anything important for my trip. I am traveling to [DESTINATION] for [TRIP_LENGTH:select:a weekend (2-3 days),a short trip (4-5 days),one week,10-14 days,longer than two weeks]. The weather and climate will be [CLIMATE:select:hot and sunny,warm and humid,mild and pleasant,cold and chilly,very cold with snow,mixed or unpredictable,tropical with possible rain]. The activities I have planned include [ACTIVITIES] (such as beach, hiking, business meetings, sightseeing, formal dinners, adventure sports, etc.). I am traveling by [TRAVEL_MODE:select:plane with carry-on only,plane with checked luggage,car or road trip,train,cruise]. Special considerations: [SPECIAL_NEEDS?] (such as medications, baby items, work equipment, photography gear, etc.) Create a complete packing list organized by category like clothing, toiletries, electronics, documents, and miscellaneous. Include quantities based on my trip length. Mark items that are essential versus nice to have. Include trip-specific items based on my activities and destination. Add a section for things to do before I leave like stopping mail or arranging pet care. If I am doing carry-on only, flag items that might not be allowed or need special packing. Include packing tips for my specific situation.

Get Early AccessYou are standing at your suitcase the night before a trip, tossing in random clothes and hoping you do not forget anything important. You always forget something important.
It generates a complete packing list customized to your [DESTINATION], [TRIP_LENGTH], and planned [ACTIVITIES]. It organizes everything by category (clothing, toiletries, electronics, documents) with quantities based on how long you will be gone. Each item is marked as essential or nice-to-have so you know what to cut if space is tight.
Traveling carry-on only? The list flags items that might not clear security and suggests packing alternatives. Planning a trip with hiking, formal dinners, and beach days? The list covers all of it without packing three separate wardrobes. It also includes a pre-departure checklist for things like stopping mail, arranging pet care, and downloading offline maps.
Once your packing list is ready, pair it with the Trip Itinerary Planner to plan your actual days at the destination. Open your list in the Dock Editor to check off items as you pack them.
Copy this template into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or the Dock Editor to get started.
Replace [DESTINATION] with where you are going and choose [TRIP_LENGTH]. The AI adjusts clothing quantities and toiletry sizes based on duration. A weekend trip does not need the same packing strategy as two weeks abroad.
Choose [CLIMATE] for weather-appropriate clothing suggestions. Describe your planned activities in [ACTIVITIES] with as much detail as possible. 'Beach, hiking, and one formal dinner' gives better results than 'vacation stuff.'
Select [TRAVEL_MODE] because it changes everything. Carry-on only means strict liquid limits and no large sharp objects. A road trip means you can bring that extra pair of shoes. A cruise needs formal wear for dinner nights.
List medications, baby items, photography gear, or work equipment in [SPECIAL_NEEDS?]. Review the final list and remove anything marked 'nice to have' that you can live without. Start packing essentials first.
Fit everything into one bag. Set [TRAVEL_MODE] to 'plane with carry-on only' for a list that respects size limits, flags restricted items, and suggests compression packing techniques.
Keep track of what everyone needs. Add kid-specific items in [SPECIAL_NEEDS?] like car seats, snacks, and entertainment. The list accounts for the chaos of traveling with children.
Pack efficiently for mixed-purpose trips. List 'business meetings and sightseeing' in [ACTIVITIES] to get a wardrobe that transitions from conference room to exploring without overpacking.
Cover specialized gear for hiking, diving, skiing, or camping. Describe your activities in detail and the AI includes terrain-specific clothing, safety equipment, and gear checklists.
