The best business trip packing list is the one you never have to rewrite. Save it once, and next month’s trip takes a minute.

This list is for three days, carry-on only, with meetings and a dinner. In Wayfold, booking import puts your flight and hotel next to the list.

How to use this list

Start a day or two before you leave and pack one category at a time, ticking items off as they go in the bag — your ticks are saved in this browser. Quantities follow the trip above: clothes scale with the number of days, with a little extra for spares. Travelling longer, in different weather or with more people? Open the list in Wayfold and it recalculates for your dates, the forecast and everyone travelling.

Packing tips

  1. 1

    Choose one colour palette so every shirt works with every jacket and pair of shoes.

  2. 2

    Roll shirts in a packing folder or hang them in the bathroom while you shower to lose creases.

  3. 3

    Keep chargers and adapters in one pouch that lives in your bag between trips.

  4. 4

    Carry-on only means liquids of 100 ml (3.4 oz) or less at most airports — check your departure airport.
