I was going to add this information to the thread on packing for a trip, but thought I would start a new one so it is searchable. Share your best travel tips here!
One thing I did long ago is make a master packing list with everything we might need for any season on it. It really makes it easy to pack and not forget things. I print a bunch of them with the packing list on front and a home checklist with things to do before leaving on the back so I have them ready whenever we get ready to go somewhere. At the top of the page I have a line: Packing list for _____ so I can write which person's list it is. When my kids were little I had one for each of them and one for me. More info below on what is on my list if you are interested.
I have 5 columns on my list with different sections below. The sections include: Pants/shorts, Tops/sweaters, Dresses/skirts/suits, Shoes/boots/sandals/slippers, Jackets/coats/snowpants, Underwear/pajamas, Misc. accessories (bathing suit/cover up, belts, scarves are listed below), Jewelry,Eye stuff (glasses, contact stuff), Personal stuff (deodorant, hair stuff, feminine stuff), Makeup, Medication, Misc (explained below), Documents (tickets, passport/license, reservation info, guidebooks), Books/toys/electronics/batteries, Camera/Video, Other & Food/snacks/gum (water bottle!).
Under each heading I have rows with a small box to check off and either a blank line next to the box or the name of an item. In some sections, such as personal stuff, I list all of the things I might take on a trip so I don't have to remember things, but I always leave blank lines in the clothing categories (about 6 lines for pants,8 for tops, 3 or 4 for the others) so I can write in black pants, red t-shirt, gold necklace, etc and extra blank lines in the other categories so I can add anything extra that I might need that is specific to a certain trip. I only check the boxes once the item is in the suitcase or my backpack. I really tried to think of everything we might need for any trip to put on the list and I just cross off the line if it isn't needed for that specific trip. For example in the underwear/pajamas category I have a line for each of the following: underwear, socks, bras,panty hose, slip, pajamas, & long johns even though I wouldn't necessarily need all of those for a summer beach trip.
My Misc. category includes: sunscreen,bug spray, sun hat/winter hat, gloves, sunglasses, swim goggles, ziploc bags, alarm clock, flashlight, sea-bands, lysol wipes, bag for dirty clothes (I use a kitchen trash bag that I put spread out over the top of my stuff once the suitcase is all packed in case my suitcase sits outside in the rain while it is being loaded on the plane. We have had suitcases get really wet in the past.), name tags and locks on luggage (we swap those around to different pieces and this is a reminder to me to check while still at home), night light, carseat/bag (from when kids were little), and about 5 blank lines to add other stuff.
My personal stuff includes: shampoo/conditioner, hairbrush/comb, hair elastics/barrettes/etc, squirt bottle, hair dryer, deodorant, q-tips, toothbrush/ toothpaste/floss,razor,feminine products, chapstick, lotion. I have a separate section for glasses/contact stuff because I used to forget one or more of those items.
My medication list includes: tylenol/motrin/aleve, thermometer & covers, band-aids and moleskin (for blisters), mini fold up scissors, antibiotic cream, bug bite cream/hydrocortisone, pepto/immodium/rollaids/gas-x, benedryl, cough medicine, prescription medication, and several blank lines.
My home checklist includes: pet care arranged, house/yard care arranged, emergency contact info given to neighbor/relative, newspaper stopped, mail stopped, dry cleaning picked up, refrigerator cleaned out, water inside plants, water outside plants, set sprinkler system to run, water to washer turned off, doors & windows locked, all trash taken out, all toilets flushed (if you have little kids), heat/air turned down, lights off/timers set, and several blank lines where additional last minute things can be added.
Hope this helps someone! Let me know if you have any questions.

A few more things that I have found work for me:
I have a travel makeup bag that I always keep packed with duplicates of: all my makeup, nail clippers, emery board, lotion, and other things I use to get ready all the time (tweezers, eyelash curler, tooth care stuff, q-tips, mini mirror, comb, hair clip, shower cap, other hair stuff, etc.). I keep a tiny travel sewing kit, a tiny pair of scissors, and a couple of disposable gloves in the outside pocket. If I'm flying I take the liquids out before packing the rest. Once home I refill the shampoo or anything else so it's ready to go. As a bonus, if I ever run out of my home stuff, I have always have a backup on hand.
I have a small flat zip pouch that I travel with that has things I keep by the bedside in a hotel. It includes: travel alarm clock, small flashlight and extra batteries, ear plugs, eye mask, a couple of throat lozenges (I tend to get a sore throat in dry hotel rooms), etc. When I get to the room it has everything together and it's easy to repack.
I have a small zip pouch that has a mini first aid kit in it that I usually carry in my purse and always carry when travelling. You would be surprised at how many little things you can get in there if you buy the medication in the blister packs or tiny travel packs, a few band-aids, tube of antibiotic ointment/hydrocortisone, benedryl tablets, piece of moleskin (for blisters), tiny fold up scissors, dental floss (can be used as string) nail clippers, etc. It has saved the day many times!
If you have kids in car seats and travel a lot, look into getting car seat bags. They will save your child's seat from lots of wear and tear if checked and they have handles and/or shoulder straps to carry them with. Some even have wheels so you can drag them. As a bonus, if you check them you can put things like beach towels in around the seats for padding and to save space in your luggage. I always put a towel in the car seat bag to put under the carseat so the kids would not ruin the rental car or our relative's car seats with footprints and food crumbs. I haven't needed these for years so don't know who carries them these days, but did see someone carrying one in an airport not too long ago. We used our for years and loaned them out to friends several times.

If you are checking any luggage for a flight: 1. Put three unusual items in there. (They can be small things, like socks with frogs on them.) Take pictures. 2. Also take a picture or two of the bag itself, maybe with a measuring tape or yardstick. One of my bags got mistagged on the way home from Vegas a couple of summers ago. So I went to the claim desk. They asked me to tell them three things that were INSIDE of it. It took me longer than it should have to think of what I'd packed in there. Then they also asked me to describe this poor little black shoulder carry-on sized bag. They gave me a card with multiple bag types/descriptions (ie, duffle, satchel, etc.), none of which really fit. I wished I had pictures to show the lady and have her pick. Anyway, you'll be a little less panicked if you can just call up the photos on your camera or phone. Just don't then put the camera in the checked luggage. Also, ask to double check the destination tag before you let the agent put the bag on the belt. When I went last summer, I said, "please don't take this personally, but one of my bags was mistagged last summer-- can we just double check the tags?" The agent was fine with it. She wasn't even surprised-- she said a lot of people click on more bags at the check in kiosk than they actually have, and they end up with extra tags printing out, so it happens. (Good news: the bag found its way home to me in just a couple of days.)

I travel with 3 young children.... We always "roll" their complete outfits (top, bottom, undies, socks... laid out and then rolled so that the socks hold it all together). That was a total game changer.
The other thing we figured out when they were old enough to have a say in packing their carry on bag was to set a very specific limit on what toys they could bring. Each kid gets a gallon zip lock bag and can only pick 5 toys that have to fit inside (doesn't apply to books, crayons, etc for the plane or their sleeping items). Once they pick the five things, I lay them out and snap a pic with my phone. When it is time to pack for the return trip, no worries about finding a dozen toys or forgetting something they brought.
We always fly and I have learned to always pack their lunch/dinner for the trip. We never have to worry about finding something they will like at the airport, or feeding them fried junk, or dealing with hangry kids on a plane with just pretzels.
One fail for me was making a necklace of cheerios to entertain my toddler. The Pinterest plan was that they would be entertained and delighted to bite each cheerio off of the elastic thread. That sounded great! My son got impatient and just shoved the whole necklace into his mouth. It was like one of those clown scarves (but made out of gooey wet cheerios) pulling it back out! Yuck.

take less stuff... always. Lol, I had a work conference in Palm Springs last week and when I ended up with an afternoon free I realized that I had no casual wear at all--only heels and suits. Basically nothing appropriate for lounging by the pool at the very nice resport. I bought a pair of flipflops, but couldn't find anything to wear that wasn't way overpriced and better suited for someone 30 years older. So, it is possible to pack too little. But I agree with the general point.

If I am checking in bags for a longer trip, I make sure I take one change of clothes and underwear in my carryon. I "learned" this after our bags decided they wanted to visit a different city than we did. It took a day for the luggage to find its way back to us.

That was a total game changer. I do this as well. Then I put several outfits into a large ziploc bag. Day to day at home, I try to avoid using too many disposable items like that, but when packing, I use a ton of ziplocs. If they remain clean, I leave them in one of our suitcases to reuse another time. My purpose for putting the outfits in the bags is that if I roll them and place them in the case, by the end of day 1 the kids have already unrolled half of the clothing and left them in a wrinkled heap. By keeping them in the bags, they stay rolled, all together, and close to wrinkle free. If the kids want to unload their cases into drawers, they can just put the bagged outfits right in the drawers like that so that everything stays together. Also, this way, if anything spills in the case or on the case, the outfits are kept dry & clean. Save

Take pictures of your documents on your phone in case they get stolen.
When I am at a hotel by myself, I always leave the DO NOT DISTURB sign up the entire time, I don't need my room cleaned and then no one ever enters.
I always pack a protein filled snack for the plane. Sometime you end up getting delayed and no access to snacks.
Stuff your socks in your shoes for more space.

Make sure you have chargers and leads for all your electronics, phone, toothbrush, kindle, laptop, camera.
We drive through Europe so we always check the differences in road rules. That might apply if you are travelling through different states.
I always load my DD's kindle with new books before we travel, literally just before we go as she reads very quickly and has finished reading books before we have left the house because I loaded up too soon!
If going abroad, check the expiry date of your passport and the minimum requirement of months left on passport for the country you are visiting.

If you are taking a long trip and checking bags, divide your stuff and your DH's stuff and put half in each bag.
We learned this when DH's bag was lost and he had nothing!

I bring an empty water bottle (Contigo is the only one I've found that doesn't leak even if it gets turned upside down) and use the fountains in the airport to fill it after getting through security. (I love when I can find a water bottle filling station - so much easier!) I also use the water bottle throughout my trip (I put some liquid dish soap in an empty hotel shampoo bottle to wash it out) so that I don't have to buy overpriced bottles of water.

I having the Packing Pro app for my packing lists. I have different lists for Europe, domestic, tropics, and liveaboards and each item is categorized by type and by bag. I update the lists pretty much every time I travel. My clothing and toiletries have to fit into my carry-on, my electronics in my camera bag, otherwise, they don't go. The only thing I ever check is my dive gear. I know what items in my carry-on are going to cause problems (dive lights, every time!) so I pull them out before we go through security.
Always check the airline baggage/carry-on allowances before leaving - some of them are surprisingly draconian (Air Lingus, Sunquest). We have a cheap baggage scale that we use to check weights before leaving. If you do this, make sure that you leave a buffer because weight will change with the amount of humidity and the same bag that is within weight requirements for the trip there, might not be for the trip home.
Toiletries and OTC meds tend to be big things for me because a lot of the places I travel don't have supplies readily available. I have a toiletries bag that is always ready to go. After a trip, I top up everything that is depleted. The one thing I buy new for every trip is contact lens solution. I once had my bottle pop open and spill all over my bag on the way to a dive trip in Cuba. I was lucky enough to mention it to someone at the hotel who had an extra bottle and was leaving the next day otherwise my trip would have been ruined. I get cold on planes so I always have a pair of warm socks tucked into my camera bag. And always carry a pen.

My travel stuff needed a serious upgrade, and we plan to do a lot of travelling this year. After a recent thread here, I went on Ebags and got this set of packing cubes. I just used them for the first time, and I am a convert! So much easier to unpack and stay organized. TSA needed to look through my bag, and it was nice not to have my contents scattered everywhere. They quickly found what was questioned, and I was on my way. I've been searching for the perfect lotion or cream containers. Things dry out too much in the little jars and the leftovers after a trip are wasted. This time, instead of packing a bottle of foundation, I pumped some into one of the sections of a flip-top contact lens case. It worked out great, is perfect for a small amount, and stays tightly closed. I am going to expand the idea next time for cleanser and moisturizer. In addition to the packing cubes, I also got this new Vera Bradley cosmetic organizer. I love the way everything fits together. It is perfect for the way I like to organize my things -- hair items in the smallest, makeup in the medium, toiletries (shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, a small first-aid/medicines kit, etc.) in the largest. After putting them in the larger plastic case, I add my hairbrush and glasses. Finally, the ultimate organizer that hold everything together! Another new item I have is a hooded down jacket that rolls up into a bag. I just got back from Indianapolis, and it was all this California girl needed to stay warm. It was so much easier to manage than a big coat. I was on a 4 day business trip, and only had my carry on suitcase and a portfolio-type leather purse (with a smaller cross body bag inside for daily use.) I am really happy with these new ways of organizing, and look forward to easier travels in the future. I love hearing about everyone's ideas. As you can see, they have helped me a lot, so thanks for starting this thread!

I'll have to read this in more detail, but that sounds great. I have a pack list but it's not that organized. So far it works for us though. We didn't travel much (budget/time reasons) until a few years ago but I made one four years ago when we took a three week trip. I saved it and added to it the next year and now it's pretty complete. I just have to update dd's meds and supplies.

Main things are to make sure your passport is up to date (and easy to find), check all prescriptions you may need well in advance and get them refilled, and have a copy of your passport and key travel documents. Remember to book your pet sitting/s'paw stay and have someone pick up your mail.
We use carry on luggage only as much as possible. Really saves on time and frustration. We have a couple really great carry on suitcases so I can carry up to 10 days in Europe (once I did 14) using only carry-on. For cruises I sometimes can't do it though because of all the evening wear.
+1 to Packing Pro app. It's amazing. I have separate lists for work, Europe, beach, weekend away. Total lifesaver.
I travel a lot so I keep a little shoe box of travel and sample sized lotions, make up etc. and I always have my liquids bag pre-packed with liquids in those little containers. I have a second curling wand so I don't forget to pack it (again) and have a spare when I lose it (again).
For longer flights I have a little zipper bag always packed with a good neck pillow, eye mask, ear plugs (in case I don't have room for my noise-cancelling headphones), socks, a small blanket, breath mints, hand lotion, and purell. That little bag makes transatlantic flights survivable lol. Noise-cancelling headphones are awesome for long flights especially. Drink lots of water on those flights.

I haven't read all the replies yet, but totally want to second the suggestion to check the destination tag on your checked bag! Hopefully you won't wait until your bag is mis-tagged and incorrectly routed (like I did) to do so!
Really appreciate the suggestion to photograph your bags.
The one travel tip that to me is worth its weight in gold is to roll clothing. Holy cow, it takes up so much less space! Also, packing cubes are invaluable, particularly if you're changing locations often.

Dang...y'all are some organized peas. It may have been in there and I missed it but I always take a few sets of ear plugs. They're great for on the plane but also in hotel rooms if they have any noise. I am the princess and the pea so I must have total darkness and silence for sleep as well as my own pillow. Or maybe I'm just a crotchety old lady.
I always include an index card with my name and contact info inside luggage in the event that the outside tag mysteriously disappears. For easy ID of the ubiquitous black travel suitcase/bag, I tie a ribbon on the handle...something bright and easy to see. I also take pictures of all my CCs front and back so I have phone numbers as well as my passport.
I'm definitely going to use some of y'alls ideas though...some excellent ones in here.

I write down our complete itinerary in a little book I keep in my carry on bag. It also contains phone numbers for the banks (for credit cards) pin numbers (written in code)
I can't tell you how many times I've had to look up that info, and if you lose your phone, or it goes dead, or being someplace where I can't access the internet
having a back up has been a good thing for me
<edited to add> we also got a bright pink suitcase with bright blue trim-makes things really easy in baggage claim. this suitcase is LOUD-we call it the barbie suitcase

Attach to the outside of your carryon with a carabiner clip, then you can open the clip and hang it from the airplane pocket in front of you. That is how I carry my water so it stays upright most of the time. Even though I have a pocket on the outside of my backpack for a water bottle, I can store it in the pocket when I am wearing the pack but remove it before I put it sideways under my seat. I also use a carabiner for my noise-cancelling headphones so it doesn't take up room in my pack.

Throw away your used boarding passes as soon as possible. You don't want to present the old one to TSA for the wrong flight. Then dig through your purse not able to find the correct one. And hope you didn't throw it away instead. Go to the back of the line and panic. Not every airline will accept on your phone... not that this all just happened to me!
