Maximize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothes, and planning your outfits carefully. This approach also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, taking into account traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack your own snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

  • Select your seat in advance—for longer flights, choosing your seat is essential for comfort. Full-service airlines may allow free seat selection once online check-in opens, typically 24–48 hours before departure. Some airlines provide the option to select seats even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours prior to your departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security procedures, and immigration.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to sync your body clock by adjusting your watch and sleep patterns to align with your destination's time zone. Attempt to either sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival location to help minimize jet lag.
