The A5 travel planner is a 28-page undated set of inserts for A5 or Half Letter ring binders and discbound planners, made for anyone who likes every trip detail in one place before leaving home. Each spread covers two facing pages, and next to the A5 and Half Letter PDFs you also receive print-and-cut versions for A4 and Letter paper, two pages to a sheet.

How the A5 travel planner keeps your trip organized

Your small binder holds the whole plan. The overview spread collects dates, travelers, booking confirmation numbers and key contacts. A budget table of 17 rows compares planned with actual costs, and pre-trip checklists walk you through two weeks out, one week out, the day before and the moment you lock the door.

Packing lists are already written for clothes, toiletries, documents, tech, a carry-on bag and kids, so you only add the extras this trip needs. Once you are on your way, you have flight details, ground transport, two accommodation pages, an itinerary with two days on each page and an expenses log of 44 lines. Since nothing is dated, you can reprint the itinerary, expense and journal spreads to match the length of any trip.

Who this trip planner is for

• Anyone with an A5 6-ring, Half Letter or junior discbound planner who wants the trip plan in that same small book
• Families heading on vacation with kids, car seats and a pile of bags
• Road trippers who prefer their stops, drive times and car checklist on paper
• Travelers who enjoy keeping a little journal and a list of souvenirs from each trip

Design and printing

• A minimal, elegant look of white pages and soft blush pink details that use very little ink
• Generous margins on all pages, so a home printer won't cut anything off
• Portrait pages in A5 (148 x 210 mm) and Half Letter (5.5 x 8.5 in), plus print-and-cut sheets for A4 or US Letter paper
• No dates, so it works for any trip in any year
• Mirrored margins: the 14 mm binding edge falls on the left of odd pages and the right of even ones, with 8 mm on the outside
• Lines at least 6.5 mm apart and text never smaller than 8.5 pt, which keeps small pages pleasant to write on
• Print-and-cut sheets carry a dashed center line and cut ticks, so one cut makes two pages
• Fits a binder or clipboard, or can be spiral bound at a print shop

Before you order

• This is a set of PDFs meant for printing. It is not a hyperlinked digital planner, yet most note taking apps can import the PDF so you can write on it.
• It is a digital product only, so no physical item arrives in the mail.
• Printed colors may look slightly different from your screen.
• For personal use only. Sharing, reselling or redistributing the files is not permitted.
• Digital downloads can't be returned. If a file doesn't open or print correctly, email us and we will help right away.
• Ring spacing varies between brands, so the pages have no punch marks. Punch the wide inner margin with your own A5 6-hole, junior or disc punch.
• To keep yourself safe, never write a full passport or card number in the planner. Just note the last four digits.
