The first thing you pack can change how the whole trip feels.
Start with the carry-on basics your kids will actually need first, like snacks, sleep gear, and a small toiletries pouch. That way you’re not digging through the bag at boarding time like it’s a treasure hunt.
Pack the things that solve the biggest problems first. Less scrambling. Less rushing. More calm(ish) family travel.
