A good way to stop this from happening to you is by writing a list. A good way of writing the list is to carry it around with you for a day, that way you can write down everything you need in an average day.

The main items we tend to forget are typically the items that we really need such as phone chargers, first aid items and our cameras! We need these items particularly our camera- after all we want to remember our holidays!

When packing it is important that we are aware of the restrictions that airlines tend to be placing upon us particularly where baggage weight is concerned. With the average weight allowance being 15kg that does not leave us with much to work with.

Lots of people are now purchasing their toiletries and sun creams inside the airport terminal after security in order to get the most out of their suitcase allowance.

The liquids situation at UK airports states that no liquids with a volume over 100ml ca be taken in hand luggage (before security.) We can of course purchase toiletries etc with 100ml and upwards volumes after security check in.
