Optimize your packing by using travel-sized toiletries, wearing your bulkiest items, and coordinating outfits. This approach also allows you to bypass the baggage claim upon arrival.
  • 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 charge your devices fully before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—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 wait times.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Select your seat in advance—for longer flights, choosing your seat is essential for comfort. Full-service airlines typically allow free seat selection once online check-in opens, which is generally 24–48 hours prior to your flight. Some airlines may provide seat selection options even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before international flights to accommodate check-in, security screening, 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 your gate or in a departure lounge if accessible. Airport Wi-Fi is typically free and available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to align your body clock by setting your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to correspond with your destination's time zone.
