  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights, allowing ample time for check-in, security checks, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge, if accessible. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and readily available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin adjusting your body clock by changing your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Aim to sleep or stay awake on the flight according to the local time at your arrival location to minimize jet lag.
