Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide in-flight entertainment. To keep yourself engaged, 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 prior to departure, accounting for 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 arrive at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
Relax at the airport—if you have some 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 align your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to correspond with your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time of your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
