Maximize space by opting for mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest items, and planning your outfits carefully. This strategy also means you can bypass the baggage claim wait upon arrival.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be 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 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 available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to sync your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or remain awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
