Tips for short-haul flights to Gettysburg

Maximize space by using travel-sized toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and planning your outfits thoughtfully. This approach also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim after your flight.
• Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights do not provide in-flight entertainment. To keep yourself occupied, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time and consider bringing a book. 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 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—aim to arrive at the airport 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 extra time, take a stroll through the shops, find a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi that is usually easy to connect to.
• Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Try to either sleep or stay awake on the flight according to the local time of your arrival to help minimize jet lag.
