  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts beforehand, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself entertained. 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 wise to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before departure, taking into account traffic and security lines.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to ensure sufficient time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, enjoy a coffee at a café, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free and accessible Wi-Fi.
