5 Easy Packing Tips for Quick Summer Trips – Pillowpacker

Easy Packing Tips for Quick Summer Trips

Some of the best summer trips are the ones you don’t see coming, a last-minute long weekend, an impromptu road trip, or a cheap flight you just can’t pass up. When the getaway window is tight, efficient packing becomes essential. Here are 5 easy packing tips for those quick summer trips to travel light, stay organized, and bring a bit of comfort along for the ride.

1. Start with a Plan

Even if you're throwing clothes into a bag in under 20 minutes, a simple checklist can save you from forgetting the essentials. Think:

·       ID and travel documents

·       Phone, charger, and headphones

·       Toiletries (in a clear bag if flying)

·       A mix of outfits that layer well, consider using the 3:2:1 rule outline below

Pro tip: Pack for the activities, not just the destination. One comfy outfit, one nice dinner outfit, one swim option — and you’re set for a weekend of fun!

2. Pack Smart, Pack Small

Your suitcase can sit this trip out, a carry-on or duffel is usually plenty. Roll your clothes instead of folding them to maximize space and minimize wrinkles. Use packing cubes or even large zip bags to stay organized — you’ll be glad you did when you’re digging through your bag at the beach.

3. Don’t Skimp on Comfort

Whether you’re catching a train, a bus, or a red-eye flight, travel comfort matters. And if you’re the passenger in a car? Even more so. That’s where a good inflatable travel pillow makes all the difference.

We recommend two standout options:

·       Our Down Alternative Microfibre Inflatable Travel Pillow, a premium microfiber option that’s lightweight, washable and hypoallergenic.

·       Or, if you prefer a natural alternative, our White Goose Down Inflatable Travel Pillow for ultimate luxury and support. Of course we have other duck down models to consider adding packable comfort to your travels.

Both pillows compress down small and inflate in seconds, making them ideal for spontaneous escapes.

The 3:2:1 Rule

Need a formula for what to pack? Try this:

·       3 tops

·       2 bottoms

·       1 pair of shoes (wear the bulkiest)

It works surprisingly well for weekend or 3-day getaways, with room to spare for accessories or a swimsuit.

5. Leave Room for the Unexpected

Spontaneous trips come with surprises — a new favourite book from a local shop, a market find, or even snacks for the ride home. Leave a bit of extra space in your bag or bring a foldable tote.

Whether you’re heading to the lake, the coast, or anywhere in between, a little smart packing can go a long way. And with your Pillowpacker pillow in tow, you’ll be ready for a nap anywhere the road takes you.
