Maximize your space by bringing mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and planning your outfits wisely. This strategy also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for short or domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before departure to account for traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • 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 to account for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to explore 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 available.
