PACKING LIST FOR CHARTER HOLIDAYS

Is the holiday going to the pool or the beach? For a beach holiday, you don’t have to pack a large suitcase, but here you get a packing list, so you can check if you have remembered all the necessities! But what exactly do you need for a beach holiday?

So many questioens suddenly arise: How many shorts pair of shorts will you wear? And is it clever to bring a jumper for the evenings – or maybe even a jacket? There are many questions when you start packing your suitcase for a charter holiday by the beach or pool.

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of the space in your suitcase. And also pack as little as possible! The less you pack, the less you have to carry around – and the less weight, the less fuel the aircraft pollutes our world with. A good rule of thumb is to pack only half of what you think you need.

WHAT SHOULD YOU PACK FOR A BEACH HOLIDAY?

Always start by checking the weather forecast for the holiday destination: Will the sun be shining every day, or are a few rain showers expected? If the sun is on the forecast each day, a beach holiday requires almost nothing in the suitcase but a bikini and then a smart dress for going out in the evening.

There is also no need to pack a jacket if the weather forecast promises 30 degrees during the day and 20 at night. Still, even in a warmer climate chilly evenings can occur in the spring and autumn, so always bring a warm sweater.

At the vast majority of charter destinations you can buy everything you need of sun hats, swimwear and flippers. In other words, unless you already have something that you are happy to use, there is no need to panic if you have forgotten something.
