Travel Packing Guide

Student travel season has arrived and with that comes packing. If your student or child is unsure of what to bring for their class trip, then worry no more, we have everything you need to make your trip hassle-free with our packing list!

Helpful Packing Tips

1. Always pack light, and bring what you need.

We suggest students limit their luggage to one suitcase which can be stored in the luggage bins under the motor coach or on an airplane (international tours).


2. Don’t forget a carry-on bag!

Preferably a knapsack that can be used to store important items on or off the bus easily.


3. Review the itinerary.

This will help you prepare for any special events that would require additional items.


4. Check the weather forecast.

Depending on your destination and when you’re traveling, you’ll have to pack some weather-specific clothes like coats or summer hats.
