Optimize your packing by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothes, and planning outfits thoughtfully. This practice also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might not provide in-flight entertainment. Make sure to download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself engaged. Remember to charge your devices fully before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it's advisable to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, taking into account traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to get to the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights, allowing sufficient time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, consider browsing the shops, grabbing a coffee, or unwinding at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is typically free and available for use.
