Maximize space by choosing mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits wisely. This approach also helps you avoid 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 entertained. 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 get to the airport 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 before your departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is usually available for free.
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 of your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
