Tips for short-haul flights to Colac

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

  • Select your seat in advance—for long flights, choosing your seat is essential for comfort. Full-service airlines often provide the option to select a seat for free once online check-in begins, typically 24–48 hours before your flight. Some airlines may allow seat selection even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity 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 generally free and available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin synchronizing your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
