Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it's wise 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 and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate 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 at a café, 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 syncing your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Aim to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
