Maximize your space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothes, and planning your outfits wisely. This approach also allows you to avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.

  • 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 before your 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 while at the airport.

  • 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 spare time, take a moment 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.
