This approach also helps you steer clear of the baggage claim wait upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—short-haul flights frequently do not provide in-flight entertainment. To keep yourself entertained, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time and consider bringing a book. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.
  • 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.
