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 find yourself with 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 readily available.
Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to align your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to match the time zone of your destination. Aim to sleep or stay awake during the flight in accordance with the local time of your arrival to help mitigate jet lag.
