Maximize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and planning your outfits strategically. This approach also allows you to bypass waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.

  • 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, allowing for potential traffic and security delays.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to reach the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, enjoy a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and readily available.
