  • 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 prior to departure, allowing for traffic and security lines.

Some airlines may provide the option to select seats even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to get to the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity 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 aligning your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to correspond with your destination's time zone. Try to either sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time of your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
