  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for even short or domestic flights, aim to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account potential traffic and security delays.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack snacks and a refillable water bottle to keep hydrated and save money while at the airport.
