Useful tips on packing for your honeymoon

Packing for your honeymoon is exciting, but it can also be a challenging task. Pack too much and you will have to pay extra at the airport. Take too little and you will end up regretting leaving something behind. This honeymoon packing advice should have you covered.

The essentials to keep in your carry on bag:

• Airline boarding passes
• Passport, visas, driver’s license
• Credit cards
• Money and local currency
• Reservation confirmations
• Photocopy of medical insurance coverage and prescriptions
• Phone charger (and a travel adapter)
• Camera
• Small toiletries bag
• Any valuable jewellery

Often on overseas trips, bags go missing. It is important to keep all your important documentation, medication and a spare change of clothes in your carry on.

Use space-saving packing techniques

Rolling outfits into tight rolls can create loads of extra space. Another option is packing cubes which keep things organized and itemized so nothing gets lost. When packing bulky items for colder climates, vacuum lock bags can help squeeze out some extra air that you don’t need to take with you.

Check the weather

If you’re visiting a tropical destination, you may think all you will see is sun and sand, however, you should still keep your weather app open when packing. You don’t want to be stuck on a chilly evening without a jacket or warm top.

Know the rules

Before you fly, ensure that you are up-to-date on all travel restrictions regarding what you can bring on the plane and into your destination country. Check with customs, airline weight allowances and even hotel safe procedures to make sure everything is in place and ready to go.

The key to having the holiday of a lifetime is to plan ahead so you have everything you need, whether it’s for glam cocktails at sunset, exploring the city or spending lazy days on the beach. This is your much deserved time to relax after the wedding and spend some quality time with your new husband or wife.
