Packing for the Whole Family: PRINTABLE PACKING LIST!

Here is my new and improved Printable Family Packing List. Please let me know if you think anything is missing, or if reformatting is needed! I tried to organize it in a way that is suitable for most families. It's nice to separate carry-on and checked bags, and also have a list for each person.

- Page 2 offers a checklist for 2 children. If you have more, you can print that page more than once. Page 4 is the baby checklist. Obviously, don't print it if you don't need it!

- This is a basic list. You can cross off what you don't need, and I left space to add items not included.



Packing Tips for Flying:

- I keep my travel-sized sanitation spray, hand sanitizer, plus liquid medicine in a clear quart-sized Ziploc bag and put it on top of my carry-on. All the rest of the medicine/first-aid items are in a bag. After going through security, I put the liquids back in that bag so it's all together.

- Keep your large electronics (iPad type devices) on top to easily get them out while going through security.

- Bringing a water bottle per person is a great idea (so much cheaper to fill up at fountains/in restrooms than buy water all the time), but make sure they are empty before going through security!

- If you have a you have a baby/toddler, it's sometimes easier to carry him/her in a carrier and use a stroller to cart around bags!

- Use packing cubes!
