Tips for short-haul flights to Caratinga

For quick getaways, efficiency is key. Here is how to make your short-haul journey smoother:

  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, it's often more economical to travel with just a carry-on. Maximize your space by opting for mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits efficiently. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself entertained. 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, taking into account traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks along with a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Select your seat in advance—for longer flights, choosing your seat is essential for comfort. Full-service airlines typically allow free seat selection once online check-in opens, which is generally 24–48 hours before your flight. Some airlines may permit seat selection even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, feel free 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 typically free and available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin synchronizing your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
