Maximize your space by choosing mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits carefully. This strategy also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself entertained, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing along a book. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.
