Routine guide
A fuller checklist for longer holidays and family trips so you can leave the house feeling organised.
Big trips involve more moving parts than a quick weekend away. This checklist brings travel documents, packing and home admin into one routine so you do not have to hold it all in your head.
Use this routine in the week or two before holidays and longer trips, or whenever travel feels more complex than usual.
Confirm dates and bookings
Double-check transport and accommodation dates, times and reference numbers.
Prepare travel documents
Check passports, visas and insurance. Save digital copies and keep physical documents together.
Plan luggage and packing
Decide what goes in checked bags vs hand luggage and list any special items you must not forget.
Prepare the house before you leave
Empty bins, clear perishables from the fridge, run or empty the dishwasher and do a light tidy.
Arrange help while you are away
Ask a neighbour or friend to keep an eye on the house, water plants or collect post if needed.
Set out travel day essentials
Lay out outfits, chargers, snacks and entertainment for travel day so the morning is calmer.
Does this replace the regular Travel Preparation routine?
Use the lighter Travel Preparation routine for everyday trips. Use this fuller checklist when there are more people, longer stays or extra moving parts.
Save this template as a reusable routine, tweak the steps and run it in Run Mode whenever you need it.
