![How To Pack For A Multi-Destination Holiday]()
Multi-destination holidays are the ultimate adventure, from sun-soaked beaches to bustling cities, each stop brings something new. But with more stops come more things to think about when packing. With the right preparation (and the perfect suitcase!), packing for multi-destination travel doesn’t have to be stressful.
So let’s set off together as we guide you through clever packing hacks, travel insurance, and everything in between.
Pick The Right Luggage For Multi-Stop Adventures
Your luggage needs to work just as hard as you do on a multi-leg trip. Think practicality, versatility and weight. The right bag makes all the difference.
Hard-Shell Suitcases:
Perfect for flying between destinations, they keep fragile items safe. The Travel collection is lightweight, secure and easy to wheel through airports.
Soft-Shell Suitcases:
Need flexibility? Soft-sided cases like our Style Lite suitcases can squeeze into smaller car boots, overhead lockers, or tight hotel cupboards, ideal for on-the-go travel.
Holdalls:
A great option for short legs of your trip or carry-on essentials. The Peony holdalls come in two sizes and are spacious, standout, and ideal for weekend getaways.
Wheeled Duffle Bags:
Love a mix of function and flexibility? Try our Ultra Lite large duffle. It’s spacious enough for longer stays and easy to transport.
Backpacks:
For day trips, excursions or hands-free exploring, a sturdy backpack is a must. The Style Lite backpack is lightweight, durable and features a padded section and a handy front zip pocket.

Smarter Packing: Space-Saving Tips & Tricks
Packing for multiple stops doesn’t mean packing more, it means packing smarter. Here's how to create a winning holiday packing list:
1. Use Packing Cubes
Keep your outfits organised by destination or activity. Packing cubes make it easy to grab what you need at each stop, without turning your bag upside down.
2. Roll, Don’t Fold
Rolling your clothes saves space and reduces creasing. Use the bundle or ranger roll method for bulkier items like jackets.
3. Follow The ‘Capsule Wardrobe’ Rule
Stick to two to three base colours (like black, navy, beige) with interchangeable tops, trousers and shoes. Aiming for around ten to twenty items, depending on the length of your trip, can help you make over 30 outfits.
4. Bring Multi-Use Items
Utilise the full potential of everything you bring. Like a sarong that doubles as a beach towel, a scarf and a picnic mat. Or a pair of smart trainers you can walk in all day and dress up at night.
5. Create A Mini Essentials Kit
Include things such as safety pins, a mini sewing kit, stain remover wipes, and a universal adaptor. You’ll thank yourself later (just remember to be mindful of airline rules if you are flying).
6. Think In Zones
Split your packing into ‘zones’ such as clothing, toiletries, electronics, and documents. It’ll help when repacking or moving between locations.
7. Use A Digital Packing List
Creating a packing list in your phone's notes or specific packing apps can help you tailor lists by weather, activities and trip length. Meaning there’ll be no more forgotten chargers!

Planning For Climate & Culture
Packing for various climates and cultures? Here’s how to stay prepared:
- Layer Up: Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and thermals if visiting different climates.
- Respect Local Dress Codes: A shawl or long trousers can come in handy in religious or conservative locations.
- Check Local Weather Forecasts: Before your trip and ensure your packing covers for any other potential weather that may occur.
Travel Insurance For Multi-Destination Trips
Travel insurance is essential, especially when crossing borders. For multi-destination holidays, here’s what to look for:
1. Cover For Multiple Countries
Choose a policy that lets you list all countries in your itinerary. Some single-trip policies allow this, but you may need a multi-trip policy depending on the number of destinations and duration.
2. Ensure Continuous Coverage
Make sure there are no coverage gaps between stops, especially if flights are booked separately.
3. Check For Key Inclusions
- Medical cover in each destination.
- Trip delay or cancellation due to missed connections.
- Luggage protection across all flights and transfers.
- Activity coverage if doing excursions like hiking or diving.
Tripp Tip: Print and save copies of your policy and claim numbers offline for every leg of your trip.
Tips For Booking Multi-Destination Flights
- Fly Open-Jaw: Fly into one city and out of another to avoid backtracking.
- Use Flight Comparison Tools: Try Skyscanner’s ‘multi-city’ feature or Google Flights.
- Add Buffer Time: Allow breathing room between flights in case of delays.
